Gate Icon-Beast.png Beast Family, Grunt & Brute Class

Defenses of the Beast family:

Weak to Piercing damage

Resistant to Elemental damage

Neutral to Normal & Shadow damage

The Wolver is a monster.

Traits

Most of the time, higher tier monsters have all the abilities of preceding tiers, with increased intensity.

Wolver Traits by Tier

Tier 1

  • Alpha Wolvers can dash while their underlings lack special abilities.

Tier 2

  • The Wolvers are more agile and can now dash near players and attack quickly. Alpha Wolvers can burrow and therefore effectively teleport around the room.

Tier 3

  • All Wolvers can burrow (teleport).

The topic of this article or section is subject to personal opinion, and does not represent any one absolute truth. If you disagree, discuss your concerns on the the talk page before editing. Guide: Wolver Combat

The Alpha Wolvers' three-hit attack is quite dangerous and harder to disrupt than most, often requiring multiple hits to interrupt, especially if your weapon is below their level (as will always be true in Danger Rooms due to scaling rules). It is often safest to back up and counter-attack after their combo is finished. Additionally, while they are focused on you, your allies can attack them from behind with impunity. Many Cutter/Striker users tend to never use their charge attack on this family. However, if for any reason you want to, It is prefered that you charge attack just out of reach of the sword, letting the wolver come into the swords range. Wolvers occasionally sit and bark. During this time, they do not dodge and any hit will knock them down. Alpha Wolvers bark as well, but won't be knocked down during this time.

If you can mange to pin a Wolver or Alpha Wolver in a corner, attacking continuously with a sword will usually prevent them from attacking or escaping, and you can finish them off easily.

Tip: If you are in combat with a group of wolvers I advise running in circles around them shooting them with your handgun. This will make the have a hard time hitting you, but allow you to hit them.

Notes

Wolver are considered Grunt class, Alpha Wolvers and Perma-Frostifur are considered Brute class.

Wolvers are usually found in groups and can call out to their comrades to ambush an unwary adventurer.

As knights progress through the tiers, Wolvers become more agile and move more quickly, turning capable of dodging projectiles directed at them.

Eventually the Wolvers will burrow underground and pop out, preparing to attack a knight from behind.

Wolvers aside from their inherent status are less resistant to Icon status stun.png Stun and more resistant to Icon status freeze.png Freeze.

According to GM Coriolis, Wolvers appear to be particularly fond of biscuits but apparently still tend to bite the knight that feeds them! The fact was found in relation to a bug in which Tier 3 Wolvers can dig underground and exit the boundaries of the map, the phrase "Bad wolver, no biscuit!" was stated in response to the glitch.
