Beast Whisperer kinda bad

[DFS Optimum]

Anyone else not having a good time with this class? I've been vibing with everything else so far but this guy is weak af

[Jeff]

I thought he did fine for normal play. Like a basic king run at 0% and a queen run.

If I had to rank all the classes for how much I enjoy playing as them, he would be toward the bottom though. Right around cyclops tier...

You absolutely need calf donors to get their minions moving at a more decent pace, enough so that it's a must-have item, in my opinion.

[DFS Optimum]

I'll try prioritizing the calf relic ! and maybe going on an easier map, I've been increasing the difficulty as I go through the classes

[caiys]

They have more of a focus on the bigger beasts to pump out the big damage numbers, namely the Werewolf Prince and Necarch. :]

Ogre also does alot of work (but dont make them boulder throwers)

Gnoblin x3 (wyrm) is decent clear

Chomper is a good spam if nothing better exists, don't evolve it and just get lots of them. They move fast and do okay damage

Werewolf Prince is busted

Cyclops and Cyclop champion are very good

[Skillo]

Wereworlf prince is by far the best minion you can have, gotta aim for that one. i can reach NGF+2 just fine with this class, maybe you are not focusing on stronger minions

I like Beast Whisperer, but it does feel extra bad when you get behind on damage 'cause when your pocket collapses you can't keep hasting your dudes and it gets even worse! I always go for one of everything upgraded and one of every un-upgraded version because I assume that maxes your meta? But to be honest I've never made it past the second loop with any class. I did not know you could summon a Necarch, how do you do that? Also does increased vision help the mob find targets or does it risk splitting up the team?

I've definitely had runs where no matter how many times I reroll, it refuses to give me the werewolf prince upgrade.

I think its the shade boss, you need to merge 3 summoner minions for it. I don't know the names specifically, its the guys with robes/hoods.

I did okay with it. Didn't feel great, particularly compared to the wax dude who I really liked, but seemed okay.

I mean, saying that, according to the in-game leaderboard I have like the 7th highest score with the class, but frankly I'm confident I'm mediocre at the game at best so I'm chalking that up to a bug of some kind :P

[Ceimir]

Yea some of the beasts feel pretty useless to me... i.e. the base ones you can't banish. Not having calf donors can really hurt too-it cost me some good runs.

[Blood]

I just tried to kill the queen 3 times in a row with Beast Whisperer and I couldn't do it.

[DFS Optimum]

Even focusing on Werewolf Prince and Necarch I had one of each at the end of a regular game and felt pretty weak... Someone here said Cyclops and Cyclop champion are good so I'll try getting more of them. I know Ogre is nice but I had to banish the boulder thrower upgrade because it felt like a downgrade.

yeah, boulder is downgrade. Only because it makes the ogre stop to throw.

[Dollop of Mayo]

Not to boneraise this topic but yeah, Beast Whisperer seems way underpowered. I've had no issue whatsoever beating the Queen on the other classes I've tried, but can't clear stage 8 with Beast Whisperer.

From what I'm seeing it's only an effective class with one extremely narrow strategy that I didn't know was available because I've never been offered any of the boss summons? Whereas I just brainlessly bumbled through with the other classes I played.

I guess if it's supposed to be the "hard mode" class it's fine where it is, but it'd be nice if the class description said as much.
