The Lord class inUnicorn Overlordis an all-rounder that “excels in offense and defense in equal measure.” While this emphasis on versatility means that the Lord’s stats will not reach the levels of more specialized classes, it is extremely powerful nonetheless. This is especially true whenUnicorn Overlord’s Lord class is set up and supported appropriately, and this guide is here to help players do exactly that.
Unicorn Overlord: Lord Class Guide
To speak generally, the Lord class is intended to serve as atankthat is capable of soaking up damage while its team members focus on offense. Players are thus advised to set up the equipment, tactics, and teams of their Lords with that role in mind, and the following sections will help them through that process.
Tactics
The goal when setting up the Lord’s tactics is to allow the class to perform guards, using its Luminous Cover and Noble Guard passive skills, and take damage before using Lean Edge to heal. As such, fans should set theconditions of Lean EdgetoOwn HP is andLowest HP. Indeed, those conditions will prevent the Lord from burning AP by performing Lean Edge attacks when they receive no benefit from its healing, and it also maximizes the chances of the additional 25% healing that comes from defeating a target with that skill.
Fans ofstrategy gamesshould also add theCavalry Combatant Type condition to the Cavalry Slayer active skill, making sure that the Lord will only use AP for that attack when it is effective. It is also wise to create asecond Lean Edge tactic with the 0 AP condition. This will frequently cause the Lord to use unspent AP at the end of a fight to dish out a bit of damage with Lean Edge.
Equipment
With the Lord acting as a tank, players should equip thisUnicorn Overlordclasswith tank-focused gear. Here is an assortment of options for each slot, which should allow fans to put together a solid loadout even if they are missing the absolute best items:
Team
The combination ofLord, Sellsword, and Warrioris extremely potent, and fans oftactical RPGsshould definitely give it a try. The idea behind this setup is that the Sellsword’s Following Slash passive ability gets many triggers as the Lord soaks up attacks, while the Warrior helps out with armored foes. Notably, players could also consider replacing the Warrior with a class that focuses on magick damage, such as the Witch, as those characters also make short work of armored enemies.
After reaching Renown Rank C and increasing the maximum size of a unit to four,Vanillawarefans are advised to place a Gryphon Knight in the tile behind their Lord.
