How to Make the Best Beast Party

This is a guide on how to make the best beast party in Fire Emblem Heroes (FEH). To know the pros and cons of making an all-beast party and which beast units are the best to use, read on!

Features of the Best Beast Party

The Strengths of a Beast Party

Can move up to 3 spaces

The biggest asset of beast units is that they can move up to 3 spaces when they transform.

This is a huge advantage, especially with flying beast units, as they can cross mountains and rivers.

Special weapons

Each beast unit has their own weapon and each one is unique with their own effect.

For instance, Hawk King Claw guarantees a follow-up attack and Nightmare Horn reduces damage from enemy units.

Everyone always transforms

Since you're running an all-beast party, everyone in the team is guaranteed to transform and gain the full benefits of their beast forms.

The Weaknesses of a Beast Party

Very few beast units

There's not a lot of beast units available in the game currently, so options are limited.

Furthermore, not a lot of them are easy to obtain and many are locked at 5★, so forming a full party may take some time.

Weak to Beast Effective Weapons

Beast units take 1.5x damage from beast-effective weapons like Brave Eliwood's Nini's Ice Lance or Picnic Flora's Sæhrímnir.

They are also vulnerable to Specials that are effective against dragons like Ruptured Sky.

Heroes with Effective Skills

Points Regarding Forming the Best Beast Party

Include a dancer as a support unit

When creating a beast party, it's helpful to have one dancer that will not only give their allies another action, but will also grant them buffs.

Use dedicated beast skills

There are several skills that beast units can use to buff either themselves and their allies.

Fortify Beasts At start of turn, grants Def/Res+6 to adjacent beast allies for 1 turn.

Ward Beasts Grants Def/Res+4 to beast allies within 2 spaces during combat.

Hone Beasts At start of turn, grants Atk/Spd+6 to adjacent beast allies for 1 turn.

Goad Beasts Grants Atk/Spd+4 to beast allies within 2 spaces during combat.

These skills synergize very well in an all-beast party, as they increase their overall durability and firepower.

Examples of the Best Beast Party

Recommended Beast Party Example

Unit	Build
Tibarn	: Hawk King Claw : Reposition : Galeforce	: Sturdy Impact : Wings of Mercy 3 : Even Atk Wave 3 : Heavy Blade 3
Naesala	: Raven King Beak : Reposition : Galeforce	: Atk/Spd Solo 4 : Wings of Mercy 3 : Odd Atk Wave 3 : Atk/Spd Solo 3
Freyja	: Nightmare Horn : Reposition : Noontime	: Atk/Spd Solo 4 : Binding Necklace : Pulse Smoke 3 : Quick Riposte 3
Leanne	: Heron Wing : Sing : Moonbow	: Fury 4 : Wings of Mercy 3 : Hone Beasts : Drive Atk 2

This party uses mostly flying units, with Freyja acting as a big source of damage and a pseudo-tank.

Use Tibarn or Naesala to close great distances and attack your enemies.

If they're brought to low HP, you can take advantage of Wings of Mercy 3 and have the rest swoop in for cleanup.

Paired with Galeforce on both Tibarn and Naesala, maps will be cleared fairly quickly.

Skill Inheritance Points

Inherit skills that synergize with each unit's beast weapons

Since every beast unit comes with their own unique weapon, it's best to use skills that synergize with it.

For instance, Naesala's assest is his Spd, so giving him Atk/Spd Solo 4 on his A slot, and Atk/Spd Solo 3 as his Saced Seal will boost his firepower.

Have skills that buff your party

If you're running a support unit, you can give them various skills that will help buff their allies.

Kaden's weapon buffs his allies according to his own bonuses.

He already comes with Goad Beasts, so you can equip the rest of his teammates with skills like Hone Beasts and Fortify Beasts to also give him buffs and maximize on his weapon.

New Year Kaden Builds and Best IVs

New Year Kaden's weapon checks for both the enemy unit's HP and their Spd.

He's very fast, so triggering this won't be much of a problem.

Keaton Builds and Best IVs

Keaton's weapon is a brave weapon, meaning he can attack twice when he initiates combat.

With Special Spiral 3 and a low cooldown Special like Moonbow means that Keaton will be able to trigger it every combat.

Lethe

Lethe Builds and Best IVs

Lethe's weapon has the same effect as Atk/Spd Solo 3, so you can further increase her firepower by giving her the same skills on her A slot and her Sacred Seal.

Naesala

Blue		Blue Beast		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 22	Spd 13	Def 5	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 39 (39)	Atk 46 (32)	Spd 41 (38)	Def 24 (24)	Res 29 (29)
Default Skills
： Raven King Beak ：- ： Blazing Wind			： Swift Sparrow 2 ： Guard 3 ：- ：-

Naesala Builds and Best IVs

Naesala's asset is his Spd, and if his Spd is higher, his weapon deals damage equal to 70% of the difference between his Spd and his foe's Spd.

Any skills that boost his Atk and Spd will synergize well with his weapon.

Selkie

Blue		Blue Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 16	Atk 21	Spd 10	Def 4	Res 12
Lv. 40	HP 35 (35)	Atk 43 (29)	Spd 38 (38)	Def 19 (19)	Res 38 (35)
Default Skills
： Foxkit Fang ：- ： Iceberg			： Atk/Spd Bond 3 ： Sabotage Atk 3 ： Even Res Wave 3 ：-

Selkie Builds and Best IVs

Selkie's weapon grants her bonuses to her Atk/Spd/Def/Res if her Res is higher than her foe's Res and if her foe is melee.

This is a bit of a detriment, because she won't be effective against ranged units, as her weapon will not trigger. She could still be a decent tank against magic users, however, due to her high Res.

Nailah

Blue		Blue Beast		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 21	Spd 11	Def 8	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 45 (31)	Spd 37 (37)	Def 32 (32)	Res 23 (23)
Default Skills
： Wolf Queen Fang ：- ： Moonbow			： Distant Counter ： Null C-Disrupt 3 ： Glare ：-

Nailah Builds and Best IVs

Nailah's weapon accelerates her Special trigger and will grant buffs to her Atk and Spd depending on the number of allies she has within 2 spaces.

She also comes with Null C-Disrupt 3, which neutralizes any skills that prevent her from counterattacking, such as Dazzling Staff effects.

Panne

Blue		Blue Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 17	Atk 21	Spd 10	Def 8	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 41 (41)	Atk 43 (29)	Spd 34 (34)	Def 30 (30)	Res 23 (23)
Default Skills
： Taguel Fang ：- ： Astra			：- ： Chill Spd 3 ： Def Smoke 3 ：-

Panne Builds and Best IVs

Panne's weapon is effective against cavalry units and if she is transformed and initiates combat, her foe cannot make a follow-up attack.

This makes her a good cavalry killer, but she is also classified as a cavalry unit, so be careful of units with cavalry-effective weapons!

Kaden

Green		Green Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 16	Atk 22	Spd 10	Def 9	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 38 (38)	Atk 46 (32)	Spd 36 (36)	Def 28 (25)	Res 25 (25)
Default Skills
： Kitsune Fang ： Pivot ：-			：- ： Spd/Res Link 3 ： Goad Beasts ：-

Kaden Builds and Best IVs

As previously mentioned, Kaden's weapon buffs his allies according to his own bonuses. If he's transformed and he initiates an attack, his foe will also be unable to make a follow-up attack.

Giving his allies buff skill will increase the overall number of buffs that Kaden can give, making him a solid support unit that can also go on the offensive.

Reyson

Green		Green Beast		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 15	Atk 21	Spd 11	Def 5	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 37 (37)	Atk 43 (29)	Spd 37 (34)	Def 24 (24)	Res 26 (26)
Default Skills
： Heron Wing ： Sing ：-			： Steady Posture 2 ：- ： Fortify Beasts ：-

Reyson Builds and Best IVs

Reyson's weapon heals his allies 7 HP within 2 spaces, so he can act as a healer along with being a dancer.

Freyja

Green		Green Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 16	Atk 24	Spd 14	Def 5	Res 7
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 52 (38)	Spd 47 (44)	Def 24 (24)	Res 22 (22)
Default Skills
： Nightmare Horn ：- ： Luna			： Atk/Spd Solo 4 ： Binding Necklace+ ： Spd Smoke 4 ：-

Freyja Builds and Best IVs

Freyja's weapon allows her to counterattack regardless of range and if her Spd is higher, it reduces damage from enemy units that attack her.

Her Binding Necklace also buffs her Atk/Spd/Def/Res her if she's not adjacent to any allies and will also buff those stats if her foe has bonuses to those stats.

She'll not only add her foe's bonuses to her own stats, but will convert those bonuses into penalties duing combat.

This makes Freyja deceptively tanky and with very high firepower.

Ranulf

Green		Green Beast		Cavalry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 16	Atk 22	Spd 11	Def 10	Res 4
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 44 (30)	Spd 37 (37)	Def 36 (33)	Res 17 (17)
Default Skills
： Covert Cat Fang ： Rally Atk/Def+ ：-			：- ： Chill Atk 3 ： Ward Beasts ：-

Ranulf Builds and Best IVs

Ranulf also makes a good support unit, as his weapon grants Atk/Def+3 to him and his allies within 2 spaces.

This stacks with Ward Beasts, which is default in his kit.

Caineghis

Colorless		Colorless Beast		Armored
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 23	Atk 26	Spd 4	Def 11	Res 8
Lv. 40	HP 47 (47)	Atk 54 (37)	Spd 23 (23)	Def 37 (37)	Res 30 (30)
Default Skills
： Lion King Fang ：- ： Bonfire			： Distant Def 4 ： Vengeful Fighter 3 ： Distant Guard 3 ：-

Caineghis Builds and Best IVs

Caineghis's weapon is made for enemy-phase, granting him Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 if an enemy unit initiates combat. And if he's transformed, he can counterattack regardless of range.

Due to him being colorless, his weapon effects make Caineghis an effective tank, as he'll be able to absorb damage and counter if they're ranged without worrying about weapon-triangle disavantage.

He can also bypass armor-effective weapons if he's given Svalinn Shield.

Leanne

Colorless		Colorless Beast		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 14	Atk 19	Spd 12	Def 3	Res 8
Lv. 40	HP 36 (36)	Atk 41 (27)	Spd 40 (37)	Def 16 (16)	Res 34 (34)
Default Skills
： Heron Wing ： Sing ：-			： Mirror Stance 2 ： Flier Formation 3 ： Hone Beasts ：-

Leanne Builds and Best IVs

Leanne is very similar to Reyson in that her weapon heals nearby allies, so she can act as a healer along with being a dancer.

Velouria

Colorless		Colorless Beast		Infantry
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 18	Atk 23	Spd 12	Def 7	Res 6
Lv. 40	HP 40 (40)	Atk 49 (35)	Spd 40 (37)	Def 33 (33)	Res 23 (23)
Default Skills
： Wolfpup Fang ：- ： Luna			： Close Def 3 ：- ： Ward Beasts ：-

Velouria Builds and Best IVs

Velouria's weapon is made for giving her an Ally Support partner, which makes her a good pick for Arena and Aether Raids.

She's a good support unit in that regard and she comes with Ward Beasts to further protect her allies.

Pirate Tibarn

Colorless		Colorless Beast		Flying
Base Stats
Lv. 1	HP 20	Atk 25	Spd 6	Def 10	Res 3
Lv. 40	HP 42 (42)	Atk 55 (41)	Spd 30 (30)	Def 36 (36)	Res 21 (18)
Default Skills
： Sky-Pirate Claw ：- ： Galeforce			： Heavy Blade 4 ： Dive-Bomb 3 ： Atk Smoke 3 ：-

Pirate Tibarn Builds and Best IVs

Pirate Tibarn works similarly to his original version in that his weapon gives him a guaranteed follow up attack.

However, it has the added benefit of accelerating his Special trigger, and paired with Heavy Blade 4, will make him trigger Galeforce very quickly so he can take out multiple units in one turn.

This makes him better than his original version in terms of firepower, so he's a very good unit to invest in.
