The Wereowl is a bestral support class from Bastorias, the owl-folk equivalent of a healer who specializes in restoring ally PP and providing support abilities.
Unlike Clerics who focus on HP healing, Wereowls focus on resource restoration, keeping your team’s passive skills active throughout battle.
Strengths
The Wereowl’s unique niche is PP restoration. In a game where passive skills are often the difference between winning and losing, a class that refills your team’s PP is incredibly valuable.
Your Fighters keep Arrow Cover active, your Hoplites maintain Heavy Cover, and your Shamans keep draining PP, all because the Wereowl keeps the resources flowing.
They also have healing abilities, though not as strong as dedicated Clerics. It’s enough to supplement but not replace a proper healer.
As a flying leader, Wereowls give their entire unit Flight movement, ignoring terrain. Combined with Nightwalk for enhanced night mobility, a Wereowl-led unit has outstanding map presence.
The combination of flight and healing assist as a leader makes Wereowls excellent unit leaders even if their personal combat contribution is modest.
Weaknesses
Wereowls are fragile with low HP, defense, and offensive capability. They contribute almost nothing to damage output.
Their healing is weaker than Clerics, so they can’t serve as the sole healer in a unit that takes heavy damage.
They rely heavily on allies having useful passives, if your team doesn’t use many PP-dependent skills, the Wereowl’s main strength is wasted.
No promotion limits scaling.
Key Skills and How to Use Them
PP Restore regenerates ally PP, keeping passive skills active. The class-defining ability.
Healing Wind provides HP healing to allies. Weaker than Cleric heals but still useful.
Support Buff provides defensive buffs to allies.
Nightwalk (leader effect) provides enhanced night mobility.
Best Team Compositions and Tactics
Wereowl + passive-heavy units like Fighters (Arrow Cover), Hoplites (Heavy Cover), or Shamans (PP Drain) maximizes the value of PP restoration.
Wereowl + Cleric combines PP restoration with strong HP healing for complete sustain.
Wereowl as unit leader provides flight mobility to ground units, which is a significant tactical advantage.
Position in the back row. Set PP Restore to trigger when allies are low on PP.
Characters Who Use This Class
Ramona is the primary Wereowl, leader of the Frostblooms resistance group in Bastorias and Yunifi‘s adoptive mother. She’s well-respected across all bestral races.
Final Thoughts
The Wereowl fills a unique niche that no other class covers, PP restoration. In a game where passive skills drive strategy, keeping those passives fueled is enormously valuable.
The flight leader effect is a fantastic bonus. Not a flashy class, but one that quietly makes your entire team better.
