Unicorn Overlord | Class Tier List | Mid-Game Classes 

So True. I can't sing the praises of the Berserker's "Toughness" skill enough, you gain 1 stamina every 2 battles with Alain or Gilbert as leader and for 1 stamina you can negate the stamina cost of those 2 battles. 😂

Lex is S Tier because Provoke got me through True Zenorian mode pretty easily. Stupid Assist towers.

He cannot make that kind of tier list. It is too complex for someone who glorified damage output. So he just taken everything in online or colliseum setting. The tier list would be different if he considers the whole game. Like angel classes line arealdy too late so they are not that useful. He should add when the classes could be recruited and available. If he ignores valor then he already ignored 50% of the battle system in the game. Valor could be a game changer. There are many situations that they would save your ass with valor.

"I'm looking at what a class adds to an overall unit." how does that equal making a coliseum tier list??? 🤣🤣🤣

At what point did I ever say I gave a shit about damage output exclusively?

Majority of my team was also promoted by the time I got to Elheim

I was about to say something similar. I already have 4 5 man teams and i am only half way through elfheim. I agree about the angel units being so late in the game which is a shame. Especially since i can see a lot of fun combos with them.

So the second sword should only be used for the skill or bonus stats like evasion or initiative. Makes sense but curious if that’s better or worse

@@rollfizzlebeef1779 apparently. Also the slot doesn’t matter. If the “second slot” sword has a higher attack power then that one is reflected

Omg this is such a good idea, if only I had more time 😭

That script is in the works, should be up in the next couple of days.

I use him as a buffer for my all Great Knight squad. Slam him in the back and he gives a lot of stats to Clive and the rest of em

The best unit I can think of to pair with Prince would be Ochlys, but even then the synergy only works super well when you reach Bastorias due to Feathersword getting their 2 AP skill. Before then it felt weird trying to fit him anywhere as a lot of other units I have built also have start of battle skills that I prefer like Berengaria, Alain, Vanessa, Aubin (Vikings). Without Rapid Order he feels like an incomplete package, but with it he feels like he has anti synergy with a lot of other really good units. The absolute best pair I could get for him at recruit was with Dreadnaught and that involves cheesing arena for an extremely OP unit for that point in the game, she doesn’t need him but there is no anti-synergy.

Doom Knights with Gilbert is pretty darn fun! Buffs on buffs, with either a cleric to keep everyone alive or a druid to keep damage off you in the first place. Probably a bit messy to work around, but it’s pretty neat when you get those buffs rolling!

Gilbert works best in a team of units that are already self sufficient. Featherswords, most Bestral units and Amalia are a good example. I use him in a squad with Aramis, Amalia and Hilda in the front and him and Primm in the back. Aramis usually either slashes an enemy to bits with Meteor Slash or triggers at least one block for a boot in the face follow up by Amalia. Hilda can burn the back line with Flame Breath and Amalia just does her thing.^^ Granted this comp doesn`t like mages, but there are other squads for that.

Same, I kept trying to tweak his squad to get it to be decent but it was always in the bottom half in terms of performance. Since a lot of his buffs are AP driven, you need to pump his initiative to get them to go out early enough, and he doesn't heal so you still need a healer, so that's 2 support slots already. Most of my units have a dedicated tank so that drops down to only 2 attackers, either that or you need tanky attackers, maybe a decent spot for a gladiator, but you're basically needing to build your unit around him which goes against the spirit of this tier list. I like him on paper, but in practice I'd put him B tier. I'd take a shaman/druid any day of the week over Prince for support. If you could get 6 person units I'd say he would fit in much better.

Also part of why Ren is so strong is that her buttons just do more than the others in the game. 1 PP for reducing attack AND init, 1 AP for a row cleave stun that does 150 potency on afflicted enemies and innate pursuit follow up heal that restores itself on afflicted targets… like what? She even gets provoke and a way to do damage and yoink 2 stamina off an enemy. Her buttons are just… unfair!

I think you're not seeing the value in elven archers because you arent putting your squad in situations where they are relevant. The healing of elven archers is just a cherry. What it does better than any other class in the game is they are enablers/anti-counters and shine on the "hardest" challenges. for example want to take on L50 coliseum fights at L25-30? most squads will lose. why? reactionary debuffs (no bishop refresh wont save it) like shining wind from featherbow or a wereowl's quick dispel. pure field from the elven archer (as well as boon of the faeries from eltolinde) allows your squad to power through those and get your schtick off whether its great knight column spam, warrior row nukes or the different board nukes. Elven archers make sure whatever offense you need to happen before an enemy hurts your squad severely happens. They enable. Going against armor? mystic conferral your board nuker. got mass debuffed/damaged? Set up someone to heal the elven archer so they can selfless heal. Their biggest selling point in any optimal squad is allowing you to punch through counters and 20 or so levels above what you'd normally handle. they arent great out of the box and dont really shine in the normal combats you encounter as you go through the game. They shine if lets say you're L25 and wanted to start doing the endgame quest or taking on albion. IMO they are one of the best support units in the game and something i'd include in every squad if i wasnt playing with a no generics restriction. I'd couch this with a caveat that if you like scouting enemy team comps then always adjusting your equips based on enemy debuffs (like equipping clearsight amulets when facing featherbows) then elven archers lose a bit of value. Personally, i dont do that. I dont change equips on the fly and stick with whatever the default build/comp of a unit/squad, they should be able to handle any situation.

Well yeah, but even compared to all the other promoted classes in this video, if blows them all away.

@@TitaniumLegman I made that comment because you compared it to the unpromoted classes, like the crusader for example, which is I think unfair. But I do agree she is very strong.

It's mid-game, most of your units should already be promoted or in the process of honor farming to get there .when I completed game, I had 100 units promoted 😅

@@MuchoLocoWell no, when you first get Dark Marquess you’re in the early-mid game so the class is vastly OP compared to everything else you have for another good 3-4 maps as hitting B renown before getting Liza and Glouster is pretty difficult, and even then if you’re not hardcore honor farming and just playing the game then you’re not gonna have everyone promoted, also depends on how many units you have unlocked as that also costs honors. If you have 6-7 units then you can maybe promote Alain + 4-6 character/classes if they’re the cheaper promos, but otherwise not too many. Either way the class is very much a mid game monster and you get it at the start of Drakenhold which is early-mid, Elheim is the mid game (though you should grab Rosalinde before going to Drakenhold lol).

yeah I have 3 swordfighter squads and they are really good.

And i would argue War Horn is one of the best "start of combat" skills in the game.

alternatively, you could give them the white knight's shield and have them be on the backline as a pseudo healer as the shield can synergize with the unit's intended strategy

@@ElkaPME I mean you could do that.

Do they learn Dark Flame as Doom Knights? Either way, being a Doom Knight really makes using it reliable.

@@nebbythewhale6450 Dark Flame comes after promote on Doom Knights ya. They are kind of meh as normal Dark Knights but pretty good on promote. Feels like they are one of the classes that need their whole kit unlocked to really shine.

I thought selfless cure only procs from heals given from someone else

@@raarasunai4896 you are correct

@@raarasunai4896 You would think, but no. Went to double check just now and this works just fine (or my version's bugged. I'm on switch for what it's worth.) Heck, it even works at max hp

@@TitaniumLegman It does actually work this way. I've put a video on my channel just now for convenience

@@GentleIceZ I used Elven archers and I can definitely confirm that you need someone to heal the Elven archer for the selfless cure will work when someone or anyone to do some or a bit of heal to activate that skill but then it's very easy set the condition to activate that in battle.

.... Why does it matter when you recruit him? I have elves here too, and you're likely gonna get them after Prince.

@@TitaniumLegman because aren’t tier lists about power levels relative to the other classes? And if you’re bringing in the prince and the elves, doesn’t that mean that you are essentially stating that mid-game is around the time of drakenhold or elheim? Which means that would be where classes are promotable and weapons like the dragoon lance is available. Which means that if you are comparing class with other classes within different points of the game’s power-creep? Like yes if you compare the Feathsword to a warrior around the time where squads are composed of unpromoted units in 3-4 man squads, then yes it’s pretty strong. But later on when units are all promoted and you have 5-man teams, it’s underwhelming. TLDR: If you compare early-game units with early-mid game builds to units that arrive late-mid game and are allowed late-mid game builds, that’s essentially apples to oranges isnt it? And by bringing in units at the late-mid game you are essentially saying that this is a late-mid game tier list?

@@Mocha._.Coffee You clearly skipped the whole intro, where I stated that the goal is to ranks the units based on what they bring to a squad. It doesn't matter if they're early or late game in that regard, especially when we're gonna have all the classes on here eventually anyway.

@@TitaniumLegman Well I thought you said “based on largely how the class functions around the time you get it”? Perhaps that is what may have confused me here. From how I understood you meant, that would mean the Prince would be around the time you’ll be fielding 4-man promoted teams and as such the tier comparison would be against against other classes available at the time (w/c would be promoted). Where the Prince’s ability to buff just doesn’t quite shine yet as It starts to shine when you’ve got your somewhat geared 5-man teams. At least to my experience, unless there’s a 4-man team comp with the Prince I’m missing of course. Although to be fair, I rushed to Drakenhold to get my dragoon lance asap to put together my first super team so our experience may differ. Anyway, this is also why I felt characters like the elves and the Prince are better placed among the promoted classes as they are already maxed promoted by default. But these are just suggestions man. No need to take it personally.

Really good point about the double AP attacks being blocked.

My guy, it's just an opinion video, not click bait. 🤣 People enjoy discussion, that's all.
