Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Crossbones, Black Panther
- Because of their Physical Resistance and Armor Ups, those champions are really hard to defeat, but with Beast’s Signature Ability and the Freestyle mode, he can bypass those defenses with his Bleed effects on Critical hits.

Power Nodes in Quests, PvP
- Beast is able to drastically reduce opponent's Power Gain while fighting with his Acrobatic combat form, making him one of the best options when going against champions on those nodes.

Weaknesses[]

Doctor Strange, Magneto
- Beast does not handle Energy Damage very well, therefore any champions that constantly deals Energy based attacks have an advantage against him.

Recommended Masteries[]

Recovery
- With Beast’s Signature Ability, while in the Acrobatic mode, he is able to Regenerate health when successfully doing a chain combo move, synergizing perfectly with Recovery.

Precision
- Beast doing Bleed damage on Critical hits, together with his signature ability and Precision, makes him one of the strongest Bleed dealers in the game.

Petrify & Pacify
- By dealing Stuns on his Special Attacks, Beast is able to start a combo right away. Reducing the opponent’s Power Gain and preventing the activation enemy abilities synergizes really well with this ability.
