You can Dodge with Cait Sith on the Moogle by simply moving your Left Stick in front of an enemy. Spent 20 hours working on this video and didn't mention this simple tip.
You can also perfect block with the Moogle while Cait Sith is casting a spell. Defense as Cait Sith is vital as it's different from every other character with the dodge dismounting you and the pirouette spin away with left stick granting invulnerability frames.
I had to go down a rabbit hole to find this information and I can't believe so many people overlook this since it adds so much survivability to his kit. If people knew this more would like him.
Cait Sith really is a great character to use so it’s a shame a lot of people write him off. I think it’s because he doesn’t start on the Moogle, and a lot of people won’t think to put ATB increasing materia on him to start off with a Let’s Ride! Admittedly, if you don’t do this and start off with just Cait Sith, certain enemies are an absolute pain because he’s slow and it takes a little while to build ATB from his ranged attacks. It’s not unbearable but compared to the other characters who don’t need that build up it is slightly noticeable. For part 3 I think they will adjust the combat slightly and for Cait Sith there’s a few options I’d like to see. 1. Let him start every battle on top of the Moogle. I don’t think it makes him OP, but let’s him get into the fight right away without the need for additional materia/items. 2. Give him something similar to Tifa where he has a chance to enter the battle already on the Moogle, or even randomise his ATB at the start of every battle to really lean into the luck stuff. That being said, I think he’s a great character for some of the longer battles, but can be tedious without the right items if using him for normal gameplay and random battles. Great guide though! Keep up the good work, subbed :)
Was fun to have him be basically a limit break battery for other characters I was fighting with. I always got his limit break up super fast so cue a Limit Siphon if I really needed a specific one fast. Anytime I didn't have him in a fight he was helping me level up some materia with the chocobo armband and ap up. Dudes just super helpful no matter what you want to do with him. Such a great improvement from the original game.
Cait Sith’s Limit Breaks also have different outcomes Magic Mogbox - Moogle Plush - Send out an exploding moogle plushie to one enemy that deals heavy damage - Rockets - Sends out rocket missiles to multiple enemies that deals multiple light damage Mega Magic Mogbox - Black Hole - Gathers all enemies on the field to one point and explodes dealing a massive explosion - Plushie Rain - Rain down plushies that deals light damage and huge stagger Giga Magic Mogbox - Fat Chocobo - Summons Fat Chocobo and deals gigantic damage
I absolutely love Cait Sith and think he brings a lot more value to my gameplay style personally in comparison to everyone else. I love random things that sort of just happen, and in my first playthrough (still ongoing) it was a lot of discovery and a lot of "what just happened" when doing some crazy damage. He has a weird learning curve, but I quickly learned that putting First Strike and things similar to that to start off with Boogie (love the moogles name btw) by summoning him in a crowd to generate ATB from the slam, then following up with Haste + Magnify materia from a different party member, summoning the moogle again to get ATB again from the slam causing a near infinite ATB loop if enemies were stacked on top of each other, made easy by Yuffie's Windstorm ability who has also become a staple in my party. The Dice ability is just so good and offers only upsides (except Hypurr Beam imo) with good offensive moves, healing and immunity from a lot of moves in this game, Lucky Slots is decent if you know the timings or you can just have him use it while not in control and just not worry about it (you will get cat scratch which is eh but if you dont wanna worry about timing then it is fine), Lady Luck for just a good general damage increase, I mean this character is personally just a lot of fun for me. Sure he may not be the BEST pick, but for my first playthrough, I am having a blast with him as my primary character. I am not going super crazy and trying to min max this game and have had the most fun just using Cait Sith. I was hesitant on him at first thinking he was kinda useless, but experimented a lot more and found a lot of value to be had. Sure he isn't an insanely consistent character and my feelings *may* change come my hard mode playthrough, but for playing semi-casually and just going through the motions, this character is perfect for me
Absolutely love your comment 👍🎉 Seriously thank you so much for sharing your experience with Cait Sith in such detail and passion for the character. I rarely get good comments like these especially long ones where I can instantly tell the viewer is locked in to the game they're playing. Yes I agreed, Hypurr Beam is utterly useless compared to everything else but that's the Gamble part of the role I suppose. He's also a staple in my party as well. I can't thank you enough for dropping this comment. It makes all the toxic mean comments I get disappear so thank you.
After 200 hours and even completing the legendary and brutal challenges… had no clue you can see the moogle health haha. Cait has so many cool or interesting moves… too bad setting all his moves up is literally never needed or worth the trouble when there are much quicker or better options available at any given time.
Right? Also sleep, because of him I was able to enjoy Aerith HP/MP convert, reprieve, provoke with Red13.. those brutal combat against 2 rare fiends mindflayer/marlboro etc was fun because of this.. sleep/stop/debrave/defaith pretty useful as only haste and barrier is really only what you need..
Thanks yeah he's one of those characters I felt players may avoid but once they see just how powerful he is with the constant party buffs he quickly becomes a must in any party setup imho.
Issue with Caith Sith is his Moogle’s buff take a lot of time to charge. Could’ve been better if this skills can be easily triggered. This will make him a top tier character as you don’t need magnify to buff your partymates. I also think that the dices should be separate. A die for offensive elemental spells and a separate die for buffs. That way you can have control.
Something interesting I noticed with Cait: Any skill that does not require the moogle's involvement can be used while riding the moogle and you can still move about and block while doing said ability. I noticed this as I've bound all 4 of the free elemental ability spells to my quick casts and I was able to run around on the moogle still in full control while spamming them. (someone below mentioned hard spell casts also work this way, -aga's and such) Another fun one: Moogle Kaboom doesn't care how the moogle goes away, it will still detonate. So what you can do is prime Kaboom, and later if you use the dodge skill to avoid an attack, the moogle then goes in hits the enemy, then gets dismissed, which then detonates it for a second blast of damage. super fun Question though: Does anyone know if the Accessory that boosts summon damage will also boost the damage of the summon if it comes in from cait siths skill as opposed to the full summon cast?
No the accessory for summons doesn't work. I tried multiple times as i wanted to recommend that accessory but from my testing I saw little to no increase hence It didn't make it in the video.
Cait sith's strength is how fast he gains ATB gauge. Dodge and press square a few times gives lots of ATB in a short amount of time. Same with his unique attack while he is by himself. When you Let's ride to summon moogle, each enemy hit when he comes out gives you 3/4 an ATB bar. When you are riding Moogle, spam square for large ATB gain from his ranged attacks For big damage, use Moogle Kaboom then Dodge Dive for AOE kamikaze attack You can also use summon materia through Moogle Magic, 1 ATB bar can summon Bahamit for example
I love cute non human party members so much and even I could not stand Cait Sith in the original. I can’t tell you how happy I am they corrected him the biggest fix being no abducting Marlene as blackmail. That one made it really hard to get behind his redemption. His reasoning for stealing the keystone is also much more sympathetic and understandable.
Ive got 400 hours in Rebirth, ive exhausted everything so im now just seeing what other people have done with builds etc, and ive now just found out that the moogle symbol has his HP bar in it. Not knowing his health annoyed me. Alot.
Cait sith was really funny to play with, but in hard mode it was my least used, it's too slow and the moogle dies too often. I hope they revise his gameplay.
I was going to follow up on my Demo Versions of my guides... but I was afraid that no one would care after hours of editing. I haven't ruled it out yet though as there are quite a few of you that dig my style.
the fact I need to look up a video to even start to make him useful means he's worthless and poorly designed. I clocked the potential in his moves, but compared to the others who just naturally flow in how they play, dude is a convoluted mess.

Excellent post here and thank you so much for the support. I'm a huge fan of Cait Sith and immediately found him as one of my favorites.
its like a sad version of aeirth, even though he's much stronger than her, i like her more than sadness cat
People were gonna hate him regardless. It’s too long a running joke for people to change their minds. They were gonna find anything
Yeah hes great. 1st strike will let you enter battle with an atb charge for moogle too

Dont believe is was mentioned, but when Cait is mounted to the moogle, he is able to remain mobile while casting his spells.
After 200 hours and even completing the legendary and brutal challenges… had no clue you can see the moogle health haha.
Cait has so many cool or interesting moves… too bad setting all his moves up is literally never needed or worth the trouble when there are much quicker or better options available at any given time.
I use the enhanced malboro orb. He’s way too good with stop buffed up to the max. You can do some crazy stuff
Yeah I was hoping more comments would be like this sharing what all we do. Appreciate the comment!

Cait synergy abilities are the funniest abilities in the game :D
Yeah I love 'em! I noticed way more detail when I ran these in Slo-Mo as well.
Dont sleep on cait sith

Clutch… cause he was a materia holder for me
How does high luck affect him though? Aside from critical? Does it affect the lucky slots?
Just crits from my many hours of testing
Awesome I have subscribed to your channel for my next video
Thank you 🙏
Awesome video! What party comp would you recommend when using Cait Sith?
Honestly he fits well with anyone.
"Yes" is the appropriate answer.
Ive got 400 hours in Rebirth, ive exhausted everything so im now just seeing what other people have done with builds etc, and ive now just found out that the moogle symbol has his HP bar in it. Not knowing his health annoyed me. Alot.
Is Caith Sith dmg more focused on atk or magic atk? I don't know if I should focus on one of them or balance it out?
Balanced 👍
Cait sith was really funny to play with, but in hard mode it was my least used, it's too slow and the moogle dies too often. I hope they revise his gameplay.
Agreed.
He was horrible in the original game and was ignored in my every single playthrough. Now he is fantastic and fun to use.
Agreed
Cait Sith may not be the most easy to use cgaracter in the game but if handled correctly he can easily be the most powerful.
I have yet to so any hypurrrr beam attack....or any benefit from ever rolling a 2...
It's a very small effect that's barely noticeable and not even worth it
Will you have a video for Cloud and Tifa?
I like to know which are the best Material for them.
I was going to follow up on my Demo Versions of my guides... but I was afraid that no one would care after hours of editing. I haven't ruled it out yet though as there are quite a few of you that dig my style.
@@oxfordking ah ok
How did you change Red's colour?
Hard Mode skins unlock. Purchase his and Cait Siths at the Gold Saucer.
How do you dodge with Cait Sith?? The spinning thing you do
You just push left or right while on the moogle. No other button.
@@kieragard omg for real? On the joystick, right? I'm usually always moving and attacking with square, I guess I should stay still and wait?
@@NoorKhanNY Just move the L Stick in the direction you want to dodge - its auto dodge that I didn't mention specifically in the video.
@@NoorKhanNY it's a really good dodge, it's the only meter less one with I frames. Just left or right on the stick.
its when you press a direction on your movement stick after sitting still while on the moogle
For dodge and dive does it refund ATB if you dodge or of the counter is successful?
yes
@@TheNamesMoose30 yes to which?
@@westleyyoung9138 Counter
@@oxfordking thank you
Pretty sure it refunds ATB as long as the moogle hits something, regardless of if you used it to dodge.
O.King dat audio tho, I keep looking over thinking someone's behind me or a chair is being dragged.
how u can use 2 limits one by one ? powerpyx did that in legendery and he never said how it works
there's an accessory that gives you access
Great video, I know he is OP and stuff , but still i personally don't like him as a character..
Someone help me please where do I get the dodge o dive ability I'm not seeing it on a weapon or folio
It's not on the Folio it's a weapon skill you obtain from one of his weapons.
the fact I need to look up a video to even start to make him useful means he's worthless and poorly designed.
I clocked the potential in his moves, but compared to the others who just naturally flow in how they play, dude is a convoluted mess.
bad take imo. its ok for games to have party members that require a little effort
Having the 30%luck accessory, with 2 luck up materia make Cait so op
Yup - tons of Luck not to mention the Luck you get on his Folios Tree
What’s the 30 percent luck accessory called?
@@amaterasu_xo luck up earrings. And it’s 50%
You're only allowed 100% max luck. Luck up accessory with 50% luck materia should be good enough.
