What Is Big Beard (Father)?
Big Beard (Father) is separate from base Big Beard. Father gets buffs as HP drops and has an Ultimate that hits all enemies, while base Big Beard is closer to a beginner tank that withstands attacks. That is enough to treat Father as its own form, not only an alias. Use Big Beard (Father) when the squad needs a tank that still adds pressure. The form's main hook is low-health scaling: as its health gets depleted, it gains buffs. That gives it a different job from Shield Hero, which is a cleaner pure tank, and from pure DPS units that only care about killing speed. Father can cover the ugly middle of a run where enemies are reaching the lane, the team still needs damage, and a slot must survive hits instead of standing behind the front. Do not overbuild Father as if it were the final account target. Shield Hero is the cleaner pure tank, while Father is the mixed tank-pressure form. The practical rule is direct: build Father if it is the best tanky damage piece on the roster, then shift long-term materials toward Gometa, Woo, Madora, Shanron, Puppeteer forms, or another higher-ceiling unit once those are ready.
How To Get Big Beard (Father)
Build Big Beard (Father) from Big Beard through the current evolution or awakening route shown in game. Open the Big Beard upgrade screen before spending anything, because exact material names, counts, level gate, copy requirement, and stage drops need the live evolution menu before they are written as fixed requirements.
Big Beard (Father) Abilities
Big Beard (Father) is a tank form with health-loss buffs and an Ultimate that affects all enemies. Use it when the team needs one slot to take hits while still adding damage or pressure. Exact HP thresholds, buff names, buff amounts, duration, whether buffs stack, Ultimate cooldown, range, attack type, placement cap, and upgrade costs still need the live unit card. Do not copy base Big Beard's weaker bridge wording onto Father, and do not treat Father as a pure Shield Hero replacement when only raw tanking matters.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Gains buffs under pressure: Big Beard (Father) gains buffs as HP drops. That makes the form better when it is actually taking hits, not just standing behind the lane.
- Ultimate hits every enemy: The listed Ultimate affects all enemies, which gives Father more pressure than a pure body-blocking tank. That matters when a wave is leaking and the team still needs damage to finish the push.
Cons
- Shield Hero tanks cleaner: Father is less clean as a pure tank than Shield Hero. If the run only fails because the front slot dies, Shield Hero is the cleaner defensive pick when the account owns it.
- Not a final carry: Father can hold early-to-mid progression, but it should not eat every rare resource once Gometa, Woo, Madora, Shanron, or Puppeteer forms are available. Those units have higher long-term ceilings.

Obtain Methods
- Start from Big Beard: Keep a Big Beard copy if the account wants the Father form. Father is listed as a separate unit from base Big Beard, so do not feed the base copy before opening the evolution screen.
- Check the live upgrade route: Open the Big Beard evolution or awakening menu and confirm the level gate, material names, material counts, duplicate-copy requirement, and whether any stage or event item is required. The live menu decides the route.
- Protect the tank slot: If Father is the account's best tanky unit, keep it for early-to-mid progression while saving rare resources for later carries. Do not spend the only copy until Shield Hero, Puppeteer, Gometa, or another stable replacement is ready.
Related Units Wiki Entries
Why it is separate
Father and base Big Beard do different jobs. Father gains buffs as health drops and has an all-enemy Ultimate. Base Big Beard is a beginner tank option. That split supports a separate page for Father.
When to field it
Field Big Beard (Father) when enemies are reaching the front and the team still needs damage from the tank slot. It fits mid-game runs where a pure DPS dies too quickly and a pure tank slows the clear too much.
Trait boundary
Durability traits make sense if Father is absorbing hits. Damage traits make sense only if its Ultimate and buffed attacks are the reason the wave clears. Save rare rerolls until the unit card confirms whether HP, damage, range, or placement gives the biggest change.
What to verify
Check the unit card for HP thresholds, buff wording, attack type, Ultimate cooldown, range, placement cap, and upgrade costs. Check the evolution menu for the required Big Beard copy, material names, material counts, and whether any stage drop is needed.
