Predator is an easy pick here with how frequently
you will be killing enemies and getting resets, raising
the uptime of
Tiger's Fury significantly.
Sabertooth
is an alternative if you are struggling with Elites, but
much less flexible.

Renewal is a good emergency heal option because
you will be tanking most of the enemies you run into. Mobility
is less important within Torghast, but both alternatives
are useful if you find yourself needing it.

For Affinities, taking a defensive option in either
Guardian Affinity or
Restoration Affinity
is ideal. The former will help survive through more dangerous
situations, but the latter opens up a lot of self-healing
options that you can make use of when kiting.
Balance Affinity
does not really contribute much to surviving, and enemies
will be close enough that the range increase is not a
strong contribution.

Mighty Bash is always useful here to help lock
down dangerous caster enemies, despite its long cooldown.
Heart of the Wild on the other hand is a good emergency
button when paired with
Restoration Affinity, and
also has some Anima Powers that can help with the strength
of this.

Due to the varied pack types and downtime that happens
between pulls, Soul of the Forest works out best as
a consistent benefit.
Incarnation: King of the Jungle
can be useful against dangerous rares, but is too specific
to be a consistent pick.

Primal Wrath is too strong to pass up given the
amount of AoE situations you will find yourself in throughout
Torghast.
Brutal Slash has some power due to its
flexibility with single-target encounters, but is not
the ideal.

Feral Frenzy is an easy pick here as a
frontloaded tool to get started with packs and burst
down higher health Elites, alongside getting benefit
from cooling down between pulls.
Moment of Clarity
will ease up your general gameplay and has some Anima
powers that work with it, but slightly worse.
Best Feral Druid Anima Powers
As you climb higher through Torghast, you will be offered a variety of different Anima Powers. There is a mix of unique benefits and others that can be stacked up for extra gains, and making a quick decision can sometimes be difficult. Because of this we have made a simple Tier List to rank some of the strong powers if you are in a rush to make a decision. If you want to read about all available Anima Powers, please use the links below.
Remember though, do not follow the list blindly, there is a lot of different playstyles to explore within Torghast and trying things out is part of the enjoyment. None of the powers are necessary to complete a run, and picking a power that improves something you rarely use will ultimately be useless. After all, you might not run into the power that you are looking for each run!

If an Anima Power is not in the Tier List above, it is either because we have been unable to test due to being unavailable as a pick, or information about its tuning is not complete. It will be added to the list as we find out more.
Phantasma Anima Powers for Feral Druid
Occasionally, you will be offered the ability to get Phantasma instead of an Anima Power, or increases to your Phantasma generation. Judging these is more difficult because it depends on how much of each floor you are clearing. Grabbing these early on is usually a good idea so you can make use of vendors, while the later the run goes the less valuable these are.
Feral Druid Playstyle for Torghast, Tower of the Damned
Like all Druids, Feral has a suite of abilities available to it allowing it to shift between survival and offense depending on the situation, and many Anima powers lean into this playstyle. Making use of all of this is important to make it through higher floors, and some important things to remember are:
- Make sure to use your
Predatory Swiftness procs to heal yourself frequently, staying stable with frequent
Regrowth casts is important when pulling dangerous packs.
- Due to the low cooldown, make sure to
Barkskin early and often to reduce as much as possible when pulling packs before you get into a dangerous spot.
- Shifting to
Bear Form to deal with very dangerous packs is something that can help with some abilities, especially when some Anima Powers that encourage shapeshifting are considered.
Entangling Roots casts on melee enemies and elites that are a problem in larger pulls is very useful to keep them at bay while you clear out the easier enemies quickly.
