Verstael Besithia New Hero Guide
Our new hero has some unique skills that you’ll be able to unlock as you level him up to 100. As the engineer of the Magitek Infantry, Verstael,’s skills complement his works. Notably, the Magitek Recipe unlocks. When you skill these nodes, you’ll be able to craft chests in the Magitek Converter with Daemon Cores. These Daemon Cores can be found in Luna’s Hexatheon Chest gifts that you get daily as long as you have Luna’s Offering of the Hexatheon Unlock opened.
Verstael Hero Skills
When you look at Verstael’s Hero Skills, there doesn’t look to be anything above average. He gets the basic Dungeon and Monster Hunting skills similar to recent hero releases. Combat stats are mainly the ordinary types that we normally see, but a bit more beefy than average! There will be a new Disputed Realm event, and you will need to have Verstael unlocked in order to capture a new type of Fort. While I don’t see any new Fort skills, we might need to use the new Dark Magitek troop in order to capture and keep it.

Verstael Mastery Skills
One thing to note about Verstael’s Mastery Skills is that while skills say that they are unlocked starting at level 40, he doesn’t get any Mastery Skill Points until level 50.
A brand new Mercenary is coming to Eos and Verstael is the key to training them. They will benefit you in the Disputed Realm, perhaps to help you conquer a new Fort that will award your empire with massive bonuses. We also get some Magitek Recipes to craft new items in the Magitek Converter to help you in various ways.

Dungeon Dangers

While Verstael might not be as great as Cindy and Prompto in the Guild Adventure Hall, he does have some redeeming qualities that could make him a contender. His third ability Strike of Madness deals almost as much damage as the leading heroes but with the chance to deal an EXTRA 50% damage and weaken the target. Weakened targets take 15% extra damage from all other weakening attacks during that round. This could be the way to strategize Dungeon running to get as many players with the ability to weaken the target in a run to maximize damage.
Mirror Hero Troop

With a new hero comes a brand new Mirror Troop. Verstael’s Mirror Hero gives even more Disputed Realm Supplies Massacre boosts and an increased Kings of Lucis Summoning Power. There isn’t research for Mirror Hero Empowerment for Verstaed just yet.
Disputed Realms (aka Fort realms)
Troop Supplies won’t ever know what hit them when you add in all the combined Massacre and Sabotage debuffs against them. Even more, the Disputed Realm has even more debuffs against these once OP troops with Verstaed’s skills and Mirror Hero. These skills alone give up to a 15% Massacre which removes 15% of Troop Supplies Potency.
The new Forts are unknown as of the date this article was published, but if the past repeats itself, we might see some increased MP and Dungeon stats and multipliers. Maybe we will see something new like march size boosts or speed-up reductions?
If you’re not a big Disputed Realms contender, you might want to consider it for this round. Since this new hero is essential in order to take down a Fort, there will be plenty of them to go around. Keeping a Fort is easier when there aren’t as many players trying to grab them up. There’s usually a limit as to how many you can have at a time. So, get in there and acquire some boosts!
Is Verstael For You?
There are many reasons to get this new hero unlocked and leveled up. Whether you’re an avid hero collector (who can resist the Hero MP), or you love to collect Forts, Verstael will help you do both. As you know, there have been many ways to increase your Disputed Realm combat stats, and there have been more realms open with various types of Forts for us to conquer. Even though he does give plenty of combat stats bonuses, if you’re not going to attempt to grab one of the new Forts during the event you may be able to wait for a good bundle pack to grab this new hero unlock.
