Warbeast System
💡 What Are Warbeasts?
Warbeasts are powerful mechanical creatures that represent endgame progression in Last Fortress: Underground. Each warbeast features unique visual designs, extensive upgrade paths including stars, remodeling, and surpass nodes, plus an impressive collection of coatings with stat bonuses. With 6 distinct warbeasts ranging from legendary dragons to mythic pandas, this system offers some of the highest stat ceilings in the game!
Warbeast Roster
There are 6 total warbeasts, divided into two quality tiers. Quality 4 warbeasts are easier to access, while Quality 5 warbeasts offer higher caps and premium positioning.
Overview: The Metallic Dragon is typically the first warbeast players acquire. As a Quality 4 unit, it's more accessible and cheaper to fully progress than higher-tier warbeasts. Perfect for learning the system mechanics!
🎨 Metallic Dragon Coatings
Overview: The second Quality 4 warbeast, the Scarlet Hunter offers similar accessibility to the Metallic Dragon but with a distinct visual theme and stat distribution.
🎨 Scarlet Hunter Coatings
Overview: Entering Quality 5 territory! The Mega Gorilla offers higher stat caps and more premium positioning. Requires more investment but delivers top-tier power.
🎨 Mega Gorilla Coatings
Overview: The sleek and deadly Lunar Viper combines serpentine agility with devastating combat prowess.
🎨 Lunar Viper Coatings
Overview: A majestic aerial predator, the Skyripper Dragon dominates from above with overwhelming firepower.
🎨 Skyripper Dragon Coatings
Overview: Don't let the adorable appearance fool you - this armored panda is a fortress on four legs!

⚙️ Core Progression Systems
⚠️ Long-Term Investment
Warbeasts are designed as a very long-term progression system. Fully maxing a single warbeast requires months of dedicated resource farming. Plan your investments wisely!
1️⃣ Base Leveling (Levels 1-20)
Each warbeast has a 20-level progression track. Think of this as the foundation - every warbeast must complete this journey first!
📊 How Leveling Works
- Progression Items: Each warbeast uses specific items (e.g., Dragon Fragments, Hunter Cores)
- Cumulative Effects: Level 10 grants ALL bonuses from levels 1-10, not just level 10
- Power Scaling: Each level adds 1,000 power (Level 20 = 20,000 total base power)
- Stat Diversity: Different levels unlock different stat types (HP, Attack, Defense, Critical, etc.)
Example: Metallic Dragon Level Progression
| Level | Cost (Items) | New Effect | Power Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100 | +2% Accuracy | +1,000 |
| 5 | 300 | +3% Defense | +1,000 |
| 10 | 750 | +5% HP | +1,000 |
| 15 | 1,200 | +4% Critical | +1,000 |
| 20 | 1,850 | +10% Attack | +1,000 |
💡 Pro Tip: Costs are relatively low for levels 1-10, then spike significantly. Save resources for the final push to level 20!
2️⃣ Star & Surpass System (0-30 Stars, 5 Surpass Nodes)
The Star System is the largest source of power gains in the warbeast system. As you upgrade stars (0 → 30), you unlock Surpass Nodes at specific milestones - major power spikes that dramatically boost combat effectiveness!
⭐ How It Works
Star Progression: Upgrading stars increases base power (0 → 140,000 total)
Surpass Nodes: Automatically unlock at ★6, ★12, ★18, ★24, and ★30 - providing massive stat multipliers!
| Star Range | Material Cost | Power Gained | Surpass Node Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-10 Stars | 65,000 total | 0 → 30,000 | ★6: Node 1 (First major boost) |
| 11-20 Stars | 185,000 total | 30,000 → 80,000 | ★12: Node 2 | ★18: Node 3 |
| 21-30 Stars | 485,000 total | 80,000 → 140,000 | ★24: Node 4 | ★30: Node 5 (Max!) |
💰 Resource Investment
Total Cost to Max (★30): 735,000 Star Upgrade Materials (Item #703134)
- Early Game (0-10): 65,000 materials - Cheapest per-power gain!
- Mid Game (11-20): 185,000 materials - Moderate investment
- Late Game (21-30): 485,000 materials - Costs spike dramatically!
⚠️ Important: Each Warbeast Has DIFFERENT Stats!
Not all warbeasts are equal! While costs and power scaling are the same (735K materials, 0 → 140K power), the specific stat bonuses vary by warbeast.
Example at ★6 (Surpass Node 1):
- Metallic Dragon: Mastery Effect +5%
- Mega Gorilla: Mastery Effect +8% (Better!)
- Skyripper: Different stat entirely (trade-off mechanic)
💡 This means: Some warbeasts naturally excel in certain stats. Check in-game to see your specific warbeast's progression!
📊 Star Level Stat Progression (Example: Metallic Dragon #101)
What You Gain Per Star: Each star level grants specific stat bonuses that stack cumulatively. Below shows Metallic Dragon's progression (other warbeasts follow similar patterns but with different stat values):
| Star Level | New Stats Added | Cost | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ★1 | WPN DEF +10% | 1,500 | First stat boost |
| ★2 | Energy +15% | 2,000 | - |
| ★3 | Accuracy +5% | 4,000 | - |
| ★4-5 | WPN DEF +20%, Energy +20% | 4,500 - 7,000 | Stats start stacking! |
| ★6 | Mastery Effect +5% | 10,000 | 🔥 Surpass Node 1 unlocks! |
| ★7-11 | Advanced stats (ATK, HP, DEF) | 10K - 20K each | Major stat increases |
| ★12 | Accuracy +100% (HUGE!) | 20,000 | 🔥 Surpass Node 2 unlocks! |
| ★13-17 | Mixed offensive/defensive | 25K - 35K each | Costs rising fast |
| ★18 | Unique Effect +35% | 35,000 | 🔥 Surpass Node 3 unlocks! |
| ★19-23 | Massive stat multipliers | 40K - 50K each | Each level = major boost |
| ★24 | Specialized stats +80% | 50,000 | 🔥 Surpass Node 4 unlocks! |
| ★25-29 | Max-level stat bonuses | 50K - 70K each | Final push to max |
| ★30 | Mastery +25% (Final) | FREE! | 🔥 Surpass Node 5 unlocks! MAX POWER! |
⚡ Key Insight: Stats are cumulative! At ★30, you have ALL the bonuses from ★1-29 PLUS the ★30 bonus. This is why late-game warbeasts are so powerful!

3️⃣ Remodel/Awakening (36 Stages)
The Remodel system is a long-term endgame grind with 36 stages spanning levels 6-108. Each stage provides cumulative multipliers to your warbeast's stats.
🔄 How Remodeling Works
- 36 Sequential Stages: Must complete in order (can't skip)
- Multiplicative Bonuses: Each stage adds 2-5% to ALL base stats
- Cumulative Power: Stage 36 = sum of all previous 35 stages!
- Dragon Coin Sink: Primary currency required (very expensive at higher stages)
| Stage Range | Level Range | Typical Bonus Per Stage | Total by End |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stages 1-12 | Levels 6-30 | +2% per stage | ~+24% cumulative |
| Stages 13-24 | Levels 36-66 | +3% per stage | ~+60% cumulative |
| Stages 25-36 | Levels 72-108 | +4-5% per stage | ~+120% cumulative |
⚠️ Remodel Reality Check
Completing all 36 stages can take 6-12 months of dedicated resource gathering! This is intentionally designed as the ultimate long-term progression goal. Budget your Dragon Coins wisely!

4️⃣ Module System (6 Slots)
Warbeasts have their own dedicated module system with 6 equipment slots. Unlike APCs (which use a refitting system), warbeast modules are specifically designed for these combat units and cannot be shared with other vehicle types.
⚙️ Module Types
6 Module Types: Weapon • Energy • Armor • Power • Command • Core
Module Levels: Level 1 → Level 6 (each level provides stronger stat bonuses)
How to Get: Modules are obtained from warbeast activities and rewards, then fused to higher levels
🔄 Module Fusion (3 Types)
| Fusion Type | Success Rate | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Fusion | 100% | Two same-level modules → One module +1 level |
| Overclocking Fusion | Variable | Two modules (< Lv. 13) → Result: -6 to +6 levels, or damage |
| Mutation Fusion | Variable | Single module → Up to 8 mutations (upgrade/downgrade/bonus module) |
Module Proficiency (Levels 0-10):
- Proficiency reduces crafting time, not stats
- Level 0 = 0% time reduction • Level 10 = 100% time reduction (instant crafting)
- Gain proficiency experience through module crafting
5️⃣ Coating System (37+ Coatings)
Warbeast coatings provide both visual customization AND stat bonuses, making them essential for maximizing combat effectiveness!
⚡ How Coating Bonuses Work
Each coating provides two types of bonuses:
- Owning Attribute: Passive bonus granted just for owning the coating (even if not equipped)
- Equipping Attribute: Additional active bonus when the coating is equipped on your warbeast
Example: Metallic Dragon | Sandy Coating
| Bonus Type | Stats Granted |
|---|---|
| Owning Attribute | TAC DEF +1% • HP +1% |
| Equipping Attribute | WPN DEF +1% • TAC DEF +1% • HP +1% |
