Beefy Boys SOF

Beefy Boys · Beefy Boys Special Operations Force

Elite mage platoon dedicated solely to keeping the base's wall buffs and shields topped off, half-dead when the attack landed.

Story so far

The Beefy Boys SOF were the most crucial platoon of home defenders at The Castle — a squad made up entirely of mages whose sole purpose was making certain every wall buff and base shield was always at full strength. Lonnie headed them and coined the name as a joke after someone told him to 'beef up the wall defenses.'

When the surprise assault hit, the Beefy Boys were half dead, a catastrophic loss given that Tipid's 104th Naughty Little Piggies were scattered kilometers away building scout towers. Their absence is why the interior protections collapse so fast once the worm-ridden Lonnie starts flipping them off from outside, and why warning messages about walls losing all protection cascade across Carl's interface. Surviving mages still trickle out to slap the entrance shield back to 100% before ducking back inside.

Role

The base's shield-maintenance mage platoon, whose crippling left the castle's interior defenses fatally thin.
