Unicorn Overlord: Mid-Game Team Comps Guide

Players will recruit many characters as they work through the first few areas in Unicorn Overlord, and they can be put together to create a tremendous number of units. While fans are definitely encouraged to experiment with different team comps, some players may feel overwhelmed by the plethora of options that are available to them upon reaching the mid-game. This guide is written with that group of players in mind, and it will help them put together some extremely powerful mid-game units in Unicorn Overlord.

The completion of Drakenhold and the unlocking of promotions marks the beginning of the mid-game for the purposes of this guide. As such, players who have not yet reached that point are advised to peruse the information that is contained within this Unicorn Overlord early game team comps guide and return to this more advanced guide later.

Unicorn Overlord: Best Mid-Game Team Comps

Alain (High Lord), Renault (Great Knight), Clive (Great Knight), Sharon (Bishop)

Basics

This unit is an absolute powerhouse, using Alain's incredible tanking and Sharon's healing to support the staggering offense that Renault and Clive are capable of mounting. While this team comp may not be particularly exciting, as it is constructed simply to allow some of Unicorn Overlord's most powerful characters to shine, players who want to dominate the battlefield should definitely have it at the ready.

Tactics

This team comp focuses more on raw power than creating elaborate synergies between skills, which means that players need not spend a great deal of time fine-tuning their tactics. That said, there are some obvious refinements that should be made, like making sure that Alain's Lean Edge targets the enemy with the lowest health, and that Renault and Clive's Pile Thrust and Assaulting Lance do the same. Those conditions are depicted in the images that are above, and they definitely improve the unit's overall efficacy in battle.

Equipment

There is a great deal of flexibility with the equipment that is required for this team comp, though fans of tactical RPGs should be looking to strike a balance between equipment that increases the characters' AP/PP and equipment that allows them to excel in their role. With respect to that first group of equipment, Carnelian Pendants, Lapis Pendants, Sapphire Pendants, and Ruby Pendants are all great options, while items like the Warrior's Pendant fit nicely into the second group.

It is recommended that players equip Reanult with a Dancer's Bracelet and set it to target Clive to improve his Wild Rushes.

Celeste (Gryphon Master), Berengaria (Dark Maruqess), Hilda (Wyvern Master), Yahna (Sorceress)

Basics

This unit focuses on using multi-target afflictions in order to repeatedly trigger Berengaria's Sanguine Pursuit passive skill. This is accomplished with the help of Hilda's Fire Breath, which inherently inflicts burn upon a row of enemies, and Celeste's High Swing (after it has been buffed by Yahna's Ice Conferral).

Yahna must have a Frostbrand Tome, an accessory that can be found in the tower that is adjacent to the Lebouge Hamlet in southern Cornia, equipped to use Ice Conferral.

Tactics

The goals when setting tactics for this team comp are to inflict afflictions upon as many enemies as possible while also allowing Berengaria to hit those enemies with Sanguine Pursuit before the affliction is broken. This means making sure that Yahna only uses Ice Conferral on Celeste before she performs a High Swing, setting Fire Breath and High Swing to target rows with the most combatants, and restricting skills that might break a freeze. Unicorn Overlord players can use the images that are above to set all those conditions, though they should certainly feel free to experiment with adjustments.

Equipment

Celeste (Gryphon Master): The Gryphon Master serves as the tank in this unit, and her equipment should focus on evasion. This means using accessories like the Lucky Coin, Master's Gauntlets, and Silken Scarf, though players do not need all those items in order to find success with this team comp.
Berengaria (Dark Marquess): It is important that the Dark Marquess maintains PP, and starting with a lot of PP makes that a frequent occurence. Players are thus advised to equip Berengaria with items like the Azure Crest Greatshield and Lapis Pendant.
Yahna (Sorceress): As has been noted, the Icebound Tome is a foundational element of this team comp, and it should defeintely be equipped. Additionally, players who are using this build before they promote Yahna should make sure to equip her with a Lapis Pendant so that she has enough PP to cast Ice Conferral.

Notes

If a player did not recruit Hilda in Unicorn Overlord, they can try something like an Elven Fencer in her slot, though the Wyvern Mater's Fire Breath will certainly be missed.
Players should feel free to use Unicorn Overlord's promotion mechanic to turn Fran into a Gryphon Master if they prefer her to Celeste.

Ochlys (Feathersword), Aubin (Viking), Chloe (Sergeant), Misc.

Basics

This unit is primarily intended to play a support role, giving players access to two very powerful Unicorn Overlord Valor Skills: Aubin's Vitalize and Chloe's Life Aid. Indeed, those two skills are capable of keeping offensively-minded teams going almost indefinitely, and Ochlys' Leader Effect allows the unit to easily move between teams that are in need.

The unit need not only act as support, though, as players can use its fourth slot to shore up battles with which their other teams might struggle. This could mean filling the slot with a Warrior/Breaker to deal with armor-focused units, or one of Unicorn Overlord's ranged characters to dispatch opposing flyers.

Equipment

There are no strict equipment requirements for this unit, as it is not looking to create specific synergies in battle. That said, Vanillaware fans are strongly advised to equip Ochlys with items that focus on evasion, such as the Silken Scarf, to make sure that she is able to fulfill her duties as a tank.
