Weavile Guide (PokéPath TD)
Weavile is your single-target shredder: it’s one of the most reliable boss/leak killers, especially when you support it with control (time-on-target) and armor pressure (so damage actually sticks).
Quick Take
The Role fit
Use Weavile as the "core single-target DPS" slot. It's your answer to bosses and high-HP leaks. It is not a full-team solution: it needs the rest of the roles filled (control, armor break) to function efficiently.
Best Placement
Place inside the main kill zone so it spends maximum time hitting the boss alongside your AoE and Control towers.
Place nearer the end (but still with uptime) to delete any survivors that slip through your main defense.
Mandatory Supports
Armor Pressure (Excadrill / Machamp)
Essential so bosses and tanks aren't "damage immune" to Weavile's hits.
View Excadrill GuideControl (Corsola / Ampharos)
Slows and stuns keep targets in range longer, allowing Weavile to land more hits.
Farming Note
Weavile is usually NOT for farming.
- Farming builds want hit count (low damage, high durability).
- Weavile kills too fast, ending the farm loop early.
- Use it only as "safety DPS" if your farming loop is leaking.
Common Mistakes & Fixes
- Solving Invis with Weavile
- Invis is a counter-slot problem. Add Honchkrow or Natu first. Weavile can't hit what it can't see.
- Ignoring Armor
- If Weavile "feels weak" late game, you are probably missing armor pressure. Add a breaker.
