Notes

Strategy

  • Most Beastmen are resistant to Blight Blight, but weak to Burn Burn, Bleed Bleed, and Stun Stun. Should one skip their turn with a Berserk token, the powerful attack is prevented, while they still suffer the exhaustion penalty afterwards. The Veteran Fighter’s Leading Strike is very potent against the faction due to this.
  • Beastmen enemies are adept at applying negative tokens and generating positive tokens. Consider prioritising skills with token manipulation, such as Highwayman's Highway Robbery, Occultist's Weakening Curse or Vulnerability Hex, Leper's Break, or Man-at-arms' Bellow to remove Riposte. Trinkets with token manipulation such as Footman's Grog, Emancipation, or Pilfered Wealth can also be useful.
  • Nearly all Beastmen can punish low-damage multiple-rank attacks. These skills can increase their Enrage Enrage tokens. Consider bringing single-rank skills or combat items to the fight.
  • Combat turnorder enemy beastmen huntsman.png The Huntsman are exclusively frontrank-to-front or back rank-to-back attackers for moderate damage and Weak Weak. They gain Enrage Enrage whenever they CRIT, miss an attack, and if a Huntsman or Tribewalker dies.
  • Combat turnorder enemy beastmen tribewalker.png Tribewalkers use Riposte Riposte, Blight Blight, Stress Stress, and Stun Stun to disrupt the party. They gain Enrage Enrage whenever they are moved, so prioritize any adjacent pair should to be killed or separated.
  • Combat turnorder enemy beastmen tribecaller.png The Tribecaller supports by adding Enrage Enrage and Strength Strength to allies, and debuffing the heroes with Vulnerable Vulnerable and increased Blight Blight taken. They cannot use Pestilence or Violent Skies in the front, nor gain Enrage if by themselves.
  • Combat turnorder enemy beastmen rotclaw.png Rotclaws are high-damage, high-health enemies capable of dealing heavy Blight Blight and Bleed Bleed, inflicting Horror Horror, debuffing heroes with Vulnerable Vulnerable and shuffling them with MoveKnockback. Rot Claws also have a chance to gain Enrage Enrage by getting hit, making them a dangerous enemy to leave alive for extended fights
  • Combat turnorder enemy beastmen rot claw elite.png The Alpha Rotclaw is largely identical to its non-Alpha counterpart, but must be fought after two waves of other Beastmen, meaning players should be ready for a long fight when preparing to confront him
  • Meat post icon.png The Meat Post is a support unit in the Meat Hook fight, and is invulnerable to any form of damage, but when attacked it will lose positive tokens which can help prevent Meat Hook from buffing himself with tokens.
  • Combat turnorder enemy beastmen meat hook.png Meat Hook is a battle of endurance, damage, and token management, with the boss sporting enormous health and damage, as well as a permanent support unit that buffs the boss with Positive tokens and Healing. Bringing heroes and skills that can readily remove positive tokens, particularly Crit Crit, is extremely helpful for this fight for both decreasing the damage the boss deals as well as reducing how many Enrage Enrage tokens the boss can receive
