The Lord class in Unicorn Overlord is 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 when Unicorn 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 a tank that 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.
The Countries and Races of Unicorn Overlord Explained
Upcoming tactical RPG Unicorn Overlord has an expansive world and diverse character races that will give players a unique experience.
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 the conditions of Lean Edge to Own HP is <75% and Lowest 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 of strategy games should also add the Cavalry 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 a second 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 this Unicorn Overlord class with 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:
- Sword: Zenoiran Sword, Kingsblade Cornix, Hallowed Blade, Templar's Sword
- Shield: Azure Crest Shield, Templar's Shield
- Accessory: Carnelian Pendant, Ring of the Unicorn
Team
The combination of Lord, Sellsword, and Warrior is extremely potent, and fans of tactical RPGs should 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, Vanillaware fans are advised to place a Gryphon Knight in the tile behind their Lord.
