I admit, when I first heard of DC Allies, I thought it was(n't) real, but now that I've played the game, I've gotta say its peak. AKA: The Beast Boy Glaze Post

I love playing gimmicky characters, and Beast Boy filled that niche perfectly for me.

First, let's go over why I like his three main abilities:

Octopus Form

I love Octopus Form because it's "stand still for imperfect camouflage" is a very funny ability, and the way it changes your M1 into a ranged water burst makes it an excellent sniper, especially in chaotic battles where no one can afford to take their eyes away from the chaos for too long.

Bear Form

I like Bear Form because although it's less of a tank than a dedicated role like Bane or Grodd, it can still fill the role in a 2-Tank set up if necessary. That, plus it's M1 being a roar that also draws in nearby projectiles a la Martian Manhunter makes it an excellent emergency button to protect your squishy backliners from those pesky ranged attacks if you can time it right.

Bat Form

I like the Bat Form only marginally less than the other two, but that's really just a skill issue on my part. The screen going fuzzy makes for an interesting downside for literal flight, and the M1 being a ranged screech that re-focuses the screen for a while makes up for it a lot, despite the longer cooldown to make it not broken. Also, I don't know if lower-ranked people know this, but your damage is actually increased by 30 points in Bat Form. I assume this is the 30 points taken from your health in this form.

Now that we've got the 3 main abilities out of the way, let's talk about his Ultimate:

Kingdom Come

Fire name btw, I assume it's a reference to that one comic run where Beast Boy can only become mythical beasts

Becoming a large 3-headed chimera is awesome, and with the increased reach, higher damage, and increased speed, it really feels like a combination of animals that was never meant to exist.

The heads spitting out each of the base animal's attacks is an excellent touch, as it means you have to time your attacks properly if you want to get the best use out of them, such as timing the middle Bear Head roar for its projectile-redirecting capabilities.

And now for the last point on my list, the Team Ups!

All of Beast Boy's team ups change is animals in unique ways. For example, Raven's team up gives the animals demon horns and +15 damage, which is boosted to +30 in Kingdom Come, while Starfire's team up replaces Bat Form's screech with a laser that does +10 damage and burns on hit, at the cost of having an even longer cooldown.

I love all the team ups and all the unique features they bring to the character

Well, that was my Glaze Post. Do you agree with me that Beast Boy is the most fun (or at least the most funny) to play as?
