Castle Battle · Troop class

Beast Troops

War-beasts and monsters — elephants, wolves, trolls, wyverns — that trample lighter troops. There are 12 of them, fielded by five of the ten kingdoms.

What they beat, and what beats them

Every beast troop deals extra damage to Levy (×1.3), Ranged (×1.3) and Support (×1.4) troops.

Ranged (×1.2), Caster (×1.2) and Construct (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to beast troops.

The multipliers apply to every blow between the two classes, on top of a troop's own powers — a beast troop with a brace or an anti-air bonus still has that too. The whole web is on the classes page.
