Beast Handler (BTD6)

Line 28:

===Beast Power===

Each beast has a Beast Power level that determines its stats. Additionally, the model of a beast changes at certain Beast Power thresholds. The baseline and maximum Beast Power of a beast depends on its upgrade tier; all beasts of the same upgrade tier have the same baseline and maximum Beast Power. Merging a beast transfers its Beast Power to the other Beast Handler's beast. If a beast's Beast Power exceeds its maximum power, the excess power does not count towards its stats until the player upgrades it to a higher tier to accommodate it. [[Sell]]ing a Beast Handler removes its Beast Power from any Beast Handlers it is merged with.

Upgrading a Beast Handler to tier 5 requires its beast to have the maximum Beast Power for tier 4 (64), in addition to the usual requirements. The player can still sell the contributing Beast Handlers after purchasing it to reduce its Beast Power to its baseline value, however.

For most stats, there is a "range" which means the stat change from the min power to max power.

===Merging===

A Beast Handler can merge one or both of its beasts with any other Beast Handler on the map. A beast can only merge with another beast of the same or higher tier, and cannot merge with a beast that is already at its maximum Beast Power. Tier 1 beasts cannot merge with other tier 1 beasts, due to them always being at their maximum Beast Power, but they can still merge with higher tier beasts. The player can upgrade a contributing Beast Handler to increase the Beast Power it contributes, but they cannot upgrade it beyond the target beast's tier.

Merging a beast removes it from play and transfers its Beast Power to the target beast. If the player sells a Beast Handler that has other Beast Handlers contributing to it, their beasts return to them. Otherwise, merging is irreversible.

Contributing Beast Handlers share their range with the target Beast Handler. Path 3 beasts can have their drop-off point set within range of any contributing Beast Handler regardless of proximity, but repositioning path 1 and path 2 beasts to within a contributing Beast Handler's range requires that Beast Handler's range to overlap its own Beast Handler's range.
