Become Unstoppable With TACTICS in Unicorn Overlord- Tactics Guide 

Thanks! I'm going to pin your comment. might be good information to add for anyone whos wants to go even deeper into conditions. I wanted to keep it short and easy! There is so much you can do with the tactics system that you could easily make an hour long video.

This is so helpful, thank you!

If the thief is your only vanguard character, you can also utilize a Cover that checks for 'Front Row' and "Target has 0 PP". Travis' ability to steal PP is great, so I've been using this cover condition with my rearguard as a backup. It's too bad there were not more conditions to work with, such as activate skill 1 if another unit member is attacking with skill 2. We could also benefit from more than just 8 priorities, since you could get a lot of great synergy going between units. I did find a bug in the conditions though. If you are wanting to utilize any skills that activate at the beginning of battle, provided there is a full column of enemies in the fight, using 'full column' does not work properly. The skill will never trigger for some reason. I thought maybe it was looking at my unit versus the enemy unit, but even with a full column in my unit the condition never worked. I know the condition works in general, since I've used it to dictate when to activate row penetrating attacks. The 1 condition that I'm not a fan of so far is Row with most Enemies and Row with Least Enemies. Both of these are mentioned as a priority, which is pointless. We would already know that if there isn't a row with the most enemies due to having the same amount in both rows, then all enemies would be looked at for condition 2. With Least enemies, it's the same thing that if 1 row didn't have less, then all are being looked at. If this wasn't a priority type condition, then you could chain in a filter such as Prioritize Flyer to attack a flyer only in the row with the most enemies. Based on both being a priority though, if the back row has the most enemies but only the front row has a flyer, then using prioritize fliers in condition 2 will target the front row when you still want the attack to happen in the back row.

@@TwinworldGameReviewsFor the "Full Column" condition, what ability are you trying to use at the start of battle? Full Column is a FILTER rather than a CHECK (unless there is a "Enemies have at least 1 full column" CHECK-style condition that I've forgotten about). I don't know off-hand any start-of-battle skills that would be affected by a Full Column FILTER-style condition, so curious about this bug. The few times in the past where I thought I found a conditions bug, it turned out to be that I overlooked something about the type of condition or other aspects of the skill and what its default target list actually contains. For Most/Least Enemies in row, that is a SORT, and you're right, there isn't a FILTER version of them like there is with "Back Row" (FILTER) vs "Prioritize Back Row" (SORT). I don't see that as a problem with the condition we do have, as I have come up with cases where I prefer it as a SORT, but yes it would be nice to have a FILTER version of it too as there is with many other conditions.

@@Rubikant It's too bad you're limited to only 8 skill entries. You could fill the section with just conditions related to 1 skill. Besides the Archer's true strike, there's other weapons that could trigger the front row as well with a true strike. The Swordfighter's Hastened Strike is one you would want to setup a counter condition for etc. You could setup a unit that covers for the 1 counter by using a Shaman that removes PP from archers, then that saves a skill entry related to archers or even use active curse to lower any damage of a true strike if that enemy is first to attack. The active curse might also target Swordfighters even though they get to act at the start of battle. They should add a filter that checks for true strike attacks and then allow you to utilize cover skills to counter. This would shrink all the possible class checks into a simple true strike conditional check instead. It's nice that the game provides class templates that you can save your setups into for the most common scenarios. Instead of having slots for 8 skill conditions, they should allow each skill to have it's own sub-screen to configure multiple conditions on. This would allow for a more in-depth setup for your units. For folks who don't want to bother with a larger conditional setup, they just make 1 or 2 conditions like we have now. For the Full Column, I was trying to set it as a condition for an item I gave the Shaman. I can't recall the item, but it was a passive skill which triggered at the start of battle which provided an extra AP and lowered my damage or something. I only wanted the skill to trigger if there was a full column of enemies though, so I could curse both rows. I figured if the Full Column provided a non-empty result, the skill would trigger. I was also hoping, since the condition text mentioned only targeting full columns, it would also contain a true or false related result embedded within the function, if there were full columns with enemies being returned from the query. I even added a secondary condition to check for anyone with 1AP or more, but that didn't work either. For the Most / Least Enemies, yeah the only alternative is manually picking the "2 or more enemies in a row" or "3 or more enemies in a row" etc. So you'd have to adjust this on a per battle case depending on what you are trying to target.

That's a good idea! Definitely see a few times where that would be useful

That's exactly what I've been doing with Alain in my unit. First priority is Lean Edge for when I'm under 50% health and to hit the lowest % HP. Next priority is a Cavalry-based attack for battling that specific class type. Alain is also my only vanguard member, so I know he's going to be hit at least once in battle on most scenarios. I then setup another Lean Edge skill to only trigger on turn 2 as priority 3 with another lowest % HP target. This way if I do not need to heal on turn 2, I will just attack the weakest enemy for a possible fatal blow. I could just setup Lean Edge to run on turn 2 either way but if someone has higher initiative and takes down a chunk of my HP during round 1, then I'm setup to heal to be safe.

Thanks for sharing, this is very useful info! Really helped me optimize how Alain plays.

I was looking for another way to use Alain's AP later. I had actual turn number checks, but Target 0 AP is so much better. Thanks!

We will get there for sure!

Glad you found it helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it helped!

Thank you! Will do!

Thank you! 😄 Glad you found it helpful

Yeah, i saw a few videos that were incorrect but also long, so I figured I needed to change that! I'm glad you got something out of it!

It all depends on which conditions you are using and how many of those are priority conditions.

Glad it helped!

Glad it helped!

No problem, I'm glad it was helpful!

Yeah that's exactly right! Glad video was able to help you

I'm glad it helped!

Yeah it can be confusing at first but I'm glad the video was able to help!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad it helped

Glad it helped! There are so many combinations I'm loving it!

Glad you liked it!

I'm glad you found it helpful!

@@CoatTee Oh yeah! Just got the game yesterday, so I haven't really fiddled around with tactics yet.

@@whathappenswhenimbored nice that game is great iv been having a blast with it so much to do!

You're very welcome!

Thanks for the addition! Color coding is a very simple but useful feature

Great suggestion! Definitely try to make it happen

No problem! The game doesn't do a great job of explaining it so kind on your own

Thanks! And that's the next video I'm working on. I need to finish the game first

Yeah it definitely doesn't give you a lot of information and leaves a lot of guessing on how it works at first. Think I'm going to make another video on passives and more advanced conditions if that would be helpful

@@CoatTee I imagine it would help people who are still early game or haven't played yet. Maybe do it more targeted like "why does this team comp work but this early game comp doesn't?"

Thanks for the sub!

Yeah, it's pretty much the same thing, but the Tactics system is a lot more advanced, I think

Yeah man, it's more advanced in unicorn overlord. I pretty much brute-forced my way through my first demo playthrough. Much better second run.

@jessegarza4727 it definitely has a step learning curve. I like it tho punishes you for not thinking out your moves makes you learn

Yeah, great addition. There are a lot of ways to build conditions!

No guide for each class as your tactics are more based on what your unit as a whole. You don't have to go super complex with conditions Basically just want to make sure your abilities are triggering on the right characters at the right time

So kind of you can prioritize skills to a degree the issue with the support skills is the lack of direct conditions for support skills. The example you gave you would have to set conditions for the preventive heal to trigger when the front line is below certain HP or have the hoplite be faster.

For guarding, it works the same way but allys instead of enemies, so if you set it to prioritize the back row, it protects your back row as long as there is one

That's actually a great idea! It's definitely a system that would fit with pokemon and bring it to the next level!

So, if you have prioritized scout as the only condition, it always targets a scout if there is one in the battle, if not, it will target the enemies as if it was set to default targeting. An action has to fail( no targets) for it to move on to another action skill. Hopefully that helps

That would have been a much simpler system for sure

Hey, so for a passive skill like that where you only want it to activate when Armored enemies are in the battle, you can use the ENEMIES PRESENT category. These won't activate otherwise Hopefully that helps!

Best you can do is set it to armored or cavalry enemies present. Wont cover certain enemies like fighters or sellswords that can get a decent amount of guard unfortunately,

Hrm, here's an option you can try. You would want to setup a specific character to prioritize attacking armored units, such as warrior for this example. Then you would setup the support person to only activate binding guard on the warrior class (not the prioritize condition but the normal warrior class condition). If you had multiple warriors in your unit, then you'd have to setup a secondary condition to look at all warrior stats. Hopefully the warrior who's hunting armored units has the most points in 1 stat or even the least amount of points in 1 stat. So if they had the most physical defense, you could use that as your second condition to look at the unit with the most physical defense. If the buff is not coming from a support character but the same unit doing the attacking, you could still prioritize your attack to be with armored units so when the support skill activates, it's on an armored unit. You could even look at prioritizing the attack on who has the highest guard rate.

No problem hope the video helped you figure it out

Exactly!

Hmm can you give me a little bit more information? I'll try make up conditions for you

@@CoatTee yeah of course. In my team the gladiator attack with concentration of a Witch for 100% accurancy. But, when the enemy suffer freeze (enemies in freeze status cant Dodge), i want my Witch cast Magic saber in my gladiator for more damage instead concentration. That would be the tactic i need

Okay once I'm home I'll see if I can figure some conditions for you

Hey sorry took so long I can't get it to work sadly for passives they really didn't include enough conditions. So only way to get it to work is to adjust your targets of witch so for example have a ice bolt targets bestral. Then in the passive conferral you would put bestral enemies present you would have to adjust this for different battles. You can set more then one condition like that so you could have 2 or 3 so know those enemies will be frozen targets if they aren't present. But still isn't the best solution Sorry

@@CoatTee thank you, dont worry about It.

Highest HP: This looks at the total amount of health an entity has. It's like comparing how big a health bar is - the one with the most health points is the winner. Highest Percentage of HP: This is about comparing how full each health bar is. Instead of looking at the total amount, we're looking at what percentage (or portion) of the health bar is filled. The one with the fullest percentage wins. Hopefully this helps

I think you could get away without going in depth with it. But I think once you start playing you would find much easier. The main reason your gonna want conditions is for optimizing your teams and making certain strategies work.

It's really easy to mix stuff like that up! But you know now that's the main thing

Yeah pretty much lol

Are you sure you have enough pp? It works for me as long as the character has the PP. But it won't trigger on passive attacks like pursuit or follow up attacks

@@CoatTee I use it on the angel because of her high evasion stat, I configured it to be used only when the character has a buff, so she can use acceleration, but the counter will only trigger for one attack and that's it

What do you have set exactly? It works for me so I'm not sure do you have any limited actions set that trigger when being attacked?

@@CoatTee I equiped her with another PP and that worked. Also, I was just confused, each proc of the thief's skill spends a PP, thing is, because his evasion is so high I always thought it was happening multiple times, but that wasn't the case. Still, thank you very much :)

@@ivanvillafuerte6241glad you figured it out!

Exactly! If you have any programming knowledge it makes it much easier to understand!

Any particular skill you're trying to get to work I can help with? Depends on skill some will only buff an Allie while some only work on them selves. But if you can use conditions like enemies present, for example, arrow cover you van set to archers present and back row. So it will only activate when archers are in the battle

No wonder it took 10 years to make

Some people want to set their own tactics but aren't sure how this video is for them. Some people also enjoy making there teams best they can and find it fun so don't be a hater

@@CoatTee how is anything i said being a hater lmao. Its just some advice to people trying this genre for the first time

@@bungmonkey2295 true as along as your enjoying the game that's all that matters
