The Werewolf is a bestral class from Bastorias, a ferocious melee fighter with high physickal attack, strong HP, and enhanced mobility at night.
Werewolves are straightforward damage dealers who hit hard and move fast, especially during nighttime battles.
Strengths
Werewolves boast excellent physickal attack and solid HP, making them durable brawlers.
Their attacks can hit multiple enemies and they have self-healing through combat abilities, providing sustain without needing dedicated healer support.
Like all bestral classes, Werewolves gain enhanced mobility during nighttime battles with the Nightwalk leader effect, making them significantly faster on maps with night phases.
Their raw physickal damage output is impressive, rivaling dedicated damage classes like Gladiators.
Weaknesses
Werewolves have mediocre defense and magick resistance. They’re tough but not tanky, they survive through HP and damage rather than blocking.
They lack ranged attacks and utility skills. They’re pure melee fighters with no support capabilities.
No promotion means their power ceiling is limited compared to classes that upgrade.
Daytime battles reduce their effectiveness since the Nightwalk bonus doesn’t apply.
Key Skills and How to Use Them
Fang Strike is a powerful single-target melee attack. High potency.
Howl buffs the Werewolf’s attack, increasing damage for subsequent strikes.
Wild Fang hits multiple enemies, providing area damage.
Self-Heal restores HP passively, giving sustain during combat.
Best Team Compositions and Tactics
Werewolf + Cleric provides additional healing on top of self-sustain.
Werewolf + Hoplite puts a tank in front of the Werewolf’s raw damage.
Best used on night maps where Nightwalk provides mobility advantages. Position in the front row.
Characters Who Use This Class
Govil is a missable Werewolf — mutually exclusive with Bertrand during “To Resist or To Yield.” However, if you talk to both and then fight them together, you can recruit both.
Final Thoughts
The Werewolf is a solid, no-frills melee brawler. High damage, good HP, self-healing, and nighttime mobility make it a reliable pick for Bastorias-themed armies.
It won’t blow you away with unique mechanics, but it does its job (hitting things hard) very effectively.
