The Calamity Beasts in the Record of Strange Beasts of the Nine Provinces refer to beasts that belong to the Calamity faction. Each has its own unique abilities and strengths. Many players who want to form a team from this faction are very curious about which ones are more powerful. This ranking of Calamity Beasts will share some of the more powerful ones and briefly analyze their abilities, so that everyone can better utilize them in actual combat.

1. Taotie
Taotie is a tank that can mark for damage reduction. Its skills have a chance to attach the Gluttony mark, increasing its own damage reduction. When the mark bursts, it can also restore health by a percentage. The stacking of damage reduction and health restoration makes it extremely formidable in the later stages, leaving the enemy helpless.
2. Taowu
Taowu is an output-oriented warrior. Its skills can increase the damage taken by enemies up to 90% and reduce healing effects by 90%, thus providing stronger output. It can also target support healers, spread damage among enemies, and add fear debuffs, further controlling the enemy's health. In the later stages, it is very strong and can be played in various styles, such as burst or assassination builds.

3. Qiongqi
Qiongqi is an assassin and the core of the assassination build. Its passive "Extreme Ferocity" increases its ability to ignore defense by 10%, and this effect cannot be dispelled and is permanent. Additionally, when it attacks, if the enemy's health is below 30%, there is a 20% chance to cause a finishing blow. Targets hit by a finishing blow are considered defeated. Its "Bloodseeker" can deal 242% damage to the enemy with the lowest health and apply a 2-turn heal block. If the target is a support class, it will inflict an additional 30% damage. With guaranteed heal block, ignoring defense, and the ability to instantly kill, Qiongqi is very powerful. As long as teammates can lower the enemy's health, it can directly eliminate the enemy.

4. Chaos
Chaos not only provides healing but also adds the Frenzy Chaos effect to allies, increasing the team's damage output. Its core ability is to revive teammates and add the Chaos Destruction effect, effectively preventing the team's core from being one-shot. It is a very strong utility character, not powerful on its own, but can play unexpected roles in the team, suitable for various different teams.
5. Jiuling Yuansheng
Jiuling Yuansheng is a control-type warrior that can perform AoE attacks and add the Intimidate effect, enhancing the team's output. It also has a chance to add stun, giving it some control capabilities. Its passive increases damage and critical rate, strengthening overall output. It can be played in various styles, such as assassination, burst, and buff builds.
6. Eshou
Eshou is a functional mage. Its skills can inflict confusion and decent AoE damage, making it suitable for early game transitions or specific stages, reducing the difficulty of battles.

7. Suanyu
Suanyu is a support healer with AoE healing skills, capable of treating all teammates and increasing the team's survivability. However, it lacks special abilities, so it doesn't require much investment and is suitable for early game transitions.
8. Zaomei
Zaomei is an assassin that can apply bleeding, causing the enemy to lose a certain amount of health each turn. Its output is not very high, currently at a moderate level, suitable for early game transitions.
9. Huodou
Huodou is a warrior that can follow a burst and reaping build. Its passive has a 30% chance at the start of each turn to apply Calamity to a random enemy beast. Calamity causes the carrier to take 20% of their current health as damage during the turn, with a maximum cap of three times Huodou's attack power. Its "Shadow Scythe" deals 120% damage to all front and middle row enemies, with a 24% chance to add 2 turns of vulnerability. If the target is a warrior, the probability increases to 48%. Its "Calamity Scythe" deals massive damage to the enemy with the lowest health. If the target is not killed, it will add 1 turn of Calamity.
