How to capture evil players?

[Snow Hakaishin]

I'm currently going through each of the Evil players, I'm beating them on Epic then reloading the save and capping them on Zero so I don't drive myself insane. What can I do to make capping them easier? I've given Lance the dog hat, viking outfit, and fly drone, then I'll have Natalie buff him with Good Luck, NoLegs gives him an extra turn, then he drops a net on Annabelle (the first one I'm trying to catch) and tries a cap. She was at 700 HP last time and it didn't work despite SEVERAL attempts (only ending when Natalie counterattacked). What can I do to make it easier to cap? I got 3 shakes last time so I know I'm close.

Net with debuff equipment will help

putrid worm is better than net. Debuffing both types of defences helps.

I captured Annabelle on epic when she had about 5-10% HP left, using No Legs with the Indiana Jones set and the drone, with good luck, and having Annabelle at -35 evade and -10 phys def. That was enough but it still was three shakes before capture (Indicating that if RNG swung different it might not have worked).

Annabelle is by far the hardest to capture, since she's so resistant to debuffs and inmune to status effects which help capture. The others are much, much easier since you can stack weaken/tired/curse and bad luck. Matteus would be the second hardest one because the fight is on a timer, so without a good strat you will run out of time before you get him low enough. What worked for me there was stacking virus and poison on him and then playing defensively

Annabelle was hard to capture for me, too, I lowered her hp and the dodge with the net but I used the poison, too, I know, the poison status heal her but nevertheless it's still a malus, and one of the few you can apply on her so use poison or burn, too, don't underestimate these malus only because she can use them to heal herself, apply them only before trying the capture (obviously) and you will be fine.

Its generally a good idea to focus more on debuffs and status effects on enemies instead of on their HP for capturing. Provided you have 3 pieces of capture increasing gear and Good Luck on your capturer, and then inflict a -40 evade debuff, Poison, Virus, Burn and Stagger on Annabelle, you'd only need her to be at 35% HP for a guaranteed capture (if you were to also inflict a -40 defence and magic defence debuff, she'd only need to be at around half HP to be a guaranteed capture).
