Catherine is definitely one of the best protectors out there. All of her abilities are useful for you and your allies. She has a high mobility thanks to her first ability. A high tankiness thanks to her second ability and heroic perk. She can sometimes save teammates as well being a great initiator and bush checker. She pairs well with a carry who has high amount of damage but low survivability.

Captain of the Guard
Catherine gains 1 armor & shield every time she stuns or silences an enemy hero with her abilities.
|
I know lots of people underestimate this heroic perk but it actually is one of the best. I've been in a casual match of a 28 minute game and guess what, I've gotten the stacks to go up to 101. Its crazy I know.

Merciless Pursuit
Catherine gains a burst of move speed. Her next basic attack is replaced by a powerful stun attack. Resets basic attack cooldown on activation.
|
Stun enemy every single time you see them but in the late game, don't use the stun but wait for the enemy carry to use their ultimate and stun them.

Stormguard
Activates a pulsating bubble that burns nearby enemies and deflects damage above 77 (+7 per level) to nearby enemies. Each deflection reduces the shield duration by 0.5 seconds. Overdrive: Damage reflected by this ability is increased by 25%
|
Stun and use Stormguard. Then hit the enemy and move and hit and move and repeat. The reason I overdrive this ability is because since the stun time is reduced, it's better to increase your survivability. When you overdrive Stormguard, its cooldown became 4 seconds and with clockwork it will become 3 seconds which increase the survivability of yourself. Make sure to always use Stormguard the start of teamfights.

Blast Tremor
Catherine slams the ground, damaging & silencing enemies in a large cone in front of her.
|
Use this ability at the start of the fight not at the end. Make sure to use this ability within the best angle to ensure all 3 enemies gets silenced. Beware of Catherine in the enemey team, with the right timing it can stun you when channeling the ultimate.
When there is
Skaarf in the enemy team, build warhorn instead of
Contraption since smart players will use
Reflex Block when channeling their ultimate. The reason I only mention
Skaarf is because he has the strongest ultimate in the game especially if he has
Eve of Harvest,
Broken Myth, and
Shatterglass. I don't know how but I managed to survive
Skaarf
Dragon Breath ONCE by using
Stormguard and then using
Crucible and
Fountain of Renewal right when I'm about to die. I'm also pretty sure that this is because my shield stacks are high enough from
Captain of the Guard.
The key to winning in a large teamfights is to stun the right person. Don't or never stun the enemeies tank in a large team fights unless they are channeling their ultimate. Remember that you can stun
Ringo
Hellfire Brew,
Celeste
Solar Storm,
Ardan
Gauntlet,
Koshka
Yummy Catnip Frenzy,
Adagio
Verse of Judgement,
Joule
Big Red Button and
Rocket Leap,
SAW
Suppressing Fire and
Roadie Run,
Catherine
Blast Tremor,
Skye
Forward Barrage,
Rona
Red Mist,
Skaarf
Dragon Breath, and
Taka
Kaku.
Remember that with
Aftershock, you can take the Kraken yourself. Just make sure your
Stormguard is up and beware if Celeste snipe using
Solar Storm.
