Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.

The Beasts is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:

1st: Leper (damage trinket + accuracy trinket) - damage dealer
2nd: Hellion (damage trinket + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
3rd: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Abomination (damage trinkets) - damage dealer

PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 disruptors

CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) Disruption is a menace
5) DoT is a menace
6) Low accurate team

The Beasts is a weird damage team with great strenght of stress and DoT. All characters can self-heal, next you have 2 disruptors and many ways for applying stress. Unfortunately this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.

I tried to play a few strategies, such as „double finisher“, „the finishers“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Hellion (damager / stresser), good choice, if she’s damager. And also Abomination (melee beast / DoT puker), both variantions are good.

My advice: Good choice, if your Leper have a skill „Purge“, if yes, use it. If not, just simply attack with him. Next use Hellion for dealing some damage / stressing. Now the last part, if you’ll face a mark team, use Houndmaster for guarding someone or attack, and then move with Abomination towards the frontline. If you’ll face other teams without disruptors, use move Houndmaster to the backline and open the riposte with Abomination.

When RNGsus chose this team for me, I already knew, it would be very hard to play. If you look on team’s composition, you can see the disadvantages and positions. But… I cannot believe, what happend. This was for the first time in my showcases, that I played with bad team and got only novices. No veteran-darkest players, just novices. Sure, one match was lost because I played against novice player with a decent stress team (close call), but still, I’m suprised, how that went. Even with this score I cannot give them higher rate, or at least mid rate. Why? It’s simple - no harder opponents (the score would be different), starting positions, easy disruption and most importantly not good accuracy. Playing was „fun“, but still I don’t recommend it.

Rating: 2/5
