Beastmaster opens with a swarm: on top of the standard Druid Naki it brings a pack of Nyxi, the largest starting army of any legend. Early Dominion is about map presence, and nobody grabs it faster.
Loadout and perks
Beastmaster starts every Dominion round with 100 Druid Naki and 125 Nyxi.
It has no effect beyond its starting loadout.
How to play
- Take fields early and widely. Your extra units contest two or three fields while others can hold one.
- Trade aggressively while you have the numbers. Your edge is biggest in the opening minutes.
- Turn numbers into control: lock down treasure fields and other high-value fields that pay off for the rest of the round.
Synergies and counters
Works well with
Beastmaster loves anything that keeps the swarm going, such as fast recruitment and steady Soulstone income.
Watch out for
A swarm thins out against efficient defense: Tank walls hold, and Plague Bringer turns dense stacks into a liability.
Verdict
The strongest opening in the game. Pick Beastmaster to seize the board early and never let go.
