The Beast Handler

The Beast Handler is a unique micro-intensive tower that relies on merging units to increase their "Beast Power." Unlike traditional towers, it does not gain power solely through upgrades, but through investment in multiple handlers or high-tier upgrades.

Maximizing Power Efficiency

The primary utility of the Beast Handler lies in its ability to focus fire on specific targets, especially MOABs. Its strength is heavily tied to its total Beast Power, which is accumulated by upgrading multiple Handlers of the same type.

Essential Synergies and Placement Nuance

The Beast Handler performs best when placed near the exit of a long track or a high-traffic area. Because its summons have specific pathing/targeting, placing them in an area that allows the unit to cover as much ground as possible is critical for maximizing its efficiency.

Strategic Synergies

  • Monkey Village: Essential for range and speed buffs to increase the efficiency of the summoned beasts.
  • Support Units: Slowing units (Glue/Ice) help the beasts focus on high-priority targets.
  • Economic Foundation: Given its high cost to reach max beast power, it is usually a mid-to-late game addition.
