Katai takes the role of combative support, shadowing allies engaging with the enemy until given the opportunity to strike.

Mid-Range

Intel & Surveillance
In order to set up her traps, it is important to gather and relay information of both idea trigger locations and the enemy's probable advancement. It is well within her skillset to scout ahead and gather information, but typically her time is devoted to making traps and chokepoints while discussing trigger signals and baiting tactics with her teammates.

Area Defense
Katai manipulates terrain and traps to herd or deny occupation of key locations from enemy ninja. This is to prevent advancement of enemy forces and build time for her team to reinforce or reorganize their defensive or offensive positions.

Guerilla Warfare
In the situation that she cannot fully fortify a location to her satisfaction, she will continue use or make terrain that allows to continue evasive maneuvers while harrying the enemy. The point is to distract and exhaust her enemies until she can pick them off one by one.

Trap Making & Dismantling
Katai comes from a family of trap enthusiasts, that have frequent competitions in capturing and outmaneuvering each other. She is well known for her ingenuity and sometimes using the most unconventional of tools and tricks to make traps particularly foul or annoying.

Summons - Crocodilia
Katai was able to arrange an accord that allowed her to summon from each subfamily, though not all at once because they have different specializations and would fight each other. She has a team of 3-6 caimans for stealth and ambush (most common), an alligator for powerful offense/defense (in need of protection), and a gigantic pair crocodiles that she can only partial body summon for ambush/offense (rare).
