Team to beat Alchemist in the Goblin Fortress?

[Blitzkind]

I'm stuck. I've relied on 2x Catzerker Yowie to get this far and now I'm getting my teeth kicked in by the sheer amount of poison and regen this guy has.

What's a good team for this guy?

Hey Blitzkind-

Hmm, it sounds like your team is a bit imbalanced as you're using two DPS monsters (2 Catzerkers). Overall, your team would probably benefit from using a solid support monsters instead of a second Catzerker, since a properly-supported DPS monster will be more effective than attempting to just stack two DPS monsters.

For example from my guide:

In Monster Sanctuary, things are pretty flexible since all of the monsters are good and worth using. What’s important is team composition. There are of course multiple ways to build a team, but the most basic formula is making sure to have Tank / Support / Healer / DPS between your three monsters.

As a classic early game example of this:

Yowie (tank / healer)

Vaero (support)

Catzerker (DPS)

The answer lies really in which monsters YOU want to use, as long as you’re building a balanced team.

Another classic example could be:

Magmapillar (shield-tank support)

Blob (support healer)

Monk (DPS)

So yeah, just learn to look at monsters and what they do so you can identify which roles they can fulfill. Since monsters have talent trees, usually they can be built in a variety of ways.

So yes, something like Vaero might help, but that is just one option.

Similarly, did you make sure to spec your Yowie for healing as opposed to damage-dealing?
