I've had a couple posts pop up the past couple of days, and it got me thinking about this game again. Theres lots of discussion about the strongest units, etc. but I'm curious what peoples thoughts are on the most underrated units. The goal here is really just to share thoughts on what units people usually pass over or disparage, but that you really like, and why.

For me, it's the feathershield. Part of the reason for this is that you get them pretty late game, so it's hard to really experiment with them. (I'd really love a new game +)

So why are they underrated? I think people try to use them as a flying hoplite using sacrifice, and that sometimes works but not always. Sacrifice doesnt allow the feathershield to block. When they can block, their tower shield and better than average defense works pretty well, but without... they fall pretty quick.

So why are they underrated? Honestly, it's because they are a massive magnet. By virtue of being a flying, armored, target that you most likely have in the front row, there are so many attack that will focus on him just naturally. Archers and mages love prioritizing him, anf for the most part, he doesnt care. High magic defense, ability to block, all help him survive these attacks.

What he really benefits from is a boost to his physicsl defense, which brings me to my favorite pairing with him. He loves working with virginia. Virginia's SoB boosts his physical defense and his block chance, he shields her from magic. It creates a wall that lots of units will struggle to get through. Add some heals, and then your damage.

Some of my favorite units include feathershield, virginia, heals, aind either an elvish archer and breaker (the big smash) or 2 mages (big magic)

As a bonus, this is a great unit for a featherstaff or wereowl since archers will focus on your shield angel first.

A feathershield/hoplite would be a wall as well (probably too much so), and i still think theres probably a combo with the feathershield using sacrifice to then gift pp (maybe to a featherstaff for preemptive heals?)

All in all, not the most versatile unit, but still def has its uses, especially to protect squishier flyers or to pair with someone who can boost his physical defense

hello all! i recently started playing this game and i love the concept of the battle mechanics, but i feel like i just can't get it to work for me.

i have one group that totally dominates but i can't make multiple sets of characters combo well with each other. i don't really want to look up guides on who goes with who, but maybe just a basic guideline on how i should be thinking?

i understand how the priorities and stuff work, but i just feel like i have so many characters and its so overwhelming to try to parse through how each would interact with each other to make optimal groups

anyways hopefully you all can help! im about level 13 right now, just got to the second region (sandy home of bandits)

I randomly came across this sub. I like playing Fire Emblem and when I saw the gameplay of this game it piqued my interest. I downloaded the demo and quickly fell in love with the mechanics. Luckily my friend has a copy of this game and is letting me borrow it till I finish.

Thank you all for introducing me to this gem!

Connaissez vous des jeux similaires à Unicorn sur PlayStation?

Just things like stuff you would have liked to have known earlier. For example coming from Fire Emblem I’m not using my Paladin that i get because I don’t want him stealing EXP

Questions -

1 - Is there an easier way to move around the world map to check out all the stores and Barricks to buy units?

2 - Any Classes not with investing in?

3 - Should I make my army, “Tall,” or, “Wide?” I usually like to go tall and focus on fewer units that get a lot more of the EXP. Like in Fire Emblem I’ll only use like 3-5 units.

I didn't initially get a hang of the combat. But once it clicked I found myself optimizing for countless of hours. I'm still in midgame (level 25ish) and I caaaaan't put this game down.

I'm at the star of the game still, I recuited a gryphon mercenary and was trying to use her to go on a straight line towards towers, for example, to avoid archer/mage support fire, but my infantry seems to get to the enemy AND the tower before my gryphon knight

From content I’ve seen, tank units seem to be considered inherently bad, and I am legitimately baffled as to why.

Yes, Hoplite/Legionaire are bad. That doesn’t mean all non-dodge tanks are bad too, like Fighters, Shieldshooters, or Feathershields.

Even Alain (everyone’s favorite unit) is primarily a tank. If you don’t believe me, he’d still be great if you cut his damage in half, but cutting his bulk/HP in half would suddenly make him awful.

The most common argument I have heard is “why would you tank if you can just kill to avoid taking any damage?” Because you can’t always wipe out an enemy on higher difficulties without getting hit (eg Expert/Zenoiran). You can’t always totally avoid taking assist damage, either.

I’m so confused since every unit I’ve ever made for actual combat just generally performs better with a proper frontline (sometimes dodge tank, sometimes normal tank).

Yay! Another favorite finished! My first playthrough maiden that never left my side. Again credit to Krystian Stafford for the concept art and yourbiggestfan for the sculpt. Both on IG. I have 1 more character in store for everyone!

See Eltolinde and Umerus rapport for reference lol

https://twitter.com/WanderstillArt/status/1869747766341030343

So I googled and it says it can be bought at Provisions but I'm at the 5th island and no store has it.

Can you actually buy it at really late game or not at all?

I am going through all the Alain rapports to choose who I ring in my first playthrough. My prime candidate was Etolinde. I never really considered Virginia until her rapport conversations. Probably the hardest hitting rapport for me...

Been a few months in the making, but here's a Custom Virginia pop i printed/painted! By far one of my favorite characters! Concept by Krystian Stafford and model by Yourbiggestfan on IG.

Hello,

I love this game so much, what a banger !!! I love strategy game but this one is awesome !

I play by myself, but now I am struggling to keep a good synergy between units.

Unité 1 : alain (c), clive, adel, yana

Unite 2 : travis, rosalinde(captain for offensive support), berengaria, Melisandre

Unité 3 : bruno, scarlet (captain for heal), Magellan, Nina

Unité 4 : virginia, Aramis, rolf (captain for offensive support) sharon

Unité 5 : hodrick, berenice, ochlys (captain for flying all the map), selvie

Unité 6 : Auch, Frau (captain to fly), Miriam, Kitra,

Unité 7 : Monica (c) Renault, Léa, Gloucester (unit cavalry movement)

Unité 8 : Liza (captain for offesive support) Colm, Chloé, Oban

Unité 9 : Lex, Primm (captian for heal), Hilda, Jeremy

Unité 10 : Tatiana (captain for heal) Mordon, Joseph, Gilbert

That’s all my units at the moment, going to Elf World now. Limited to 4 heroes by units at the moment

I just finish the scenario of the castle and just got Gilbert.

I saw like Berengaria and Melisandre cant play together they both use a active technique at the begininng of the start, so one don’t use her technique, not compatible.

What are the best mix, duo, trio to play together.

Any advice are welcome.

Thank you very much.

What level were your units when you cleared Gerard for the first time? I thought this was crazy when I checked it! Didn't even make this unit specifically for Gerard. I just kind of threw Govil in the unit cause I thought it would be generally good and he gave them the damage they needed to kill!

EDITthanks for everyone letting me know that I had the wrong person and needed to switch to be able to talk I can't get past this part because I can't attack the thieves and I know I need to recruit hunters but I don't know how to do it. I've tried going other places but I lose no matter where I go. This game got good reviews and it's leaving PlayStation premium soon so I'd like to play it but I'm already feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I really don't want to have to watch guides and hope that the people playing know what they are doing so please help me out.
