5 TIPS FOR EXPERT + TRUE ZENOIRAN | Unicorn Overlord

On untils details you got on the down left ( press X) for math detail of range assist. Nice vid

To add to the 0 stamina exploit, you can leapfrog with another unit with stamina. Use that stamina unit to engage a fight, then swap with the 0 stamina unit. Been using it to repeat fight the boss on garrison at the end. I didn't even know it's an exploit, I thought it was intended.

[@zevmerces]

Also to add, the unit with stamina doesn't lose any stamina since stamina is deducted from the 0 stamina unit that fought.

[@SeanTxty]

Oh... that's really smart I didn't consider it@@zevmerces

Other Tip. When start battle. There is an unlimited deploy and withdraw attempts at the starting fort. Scan every enemies on the map. Customized party that can 100% kill without or minimal loss. Deploy them and move cursor to the enemy to predict result. Keep do this until you have 2-3 armies that best fit for the map.

[@robertsilvermyst7325]

That switch is one of the first tactics the game teaches you in the tutorial XD

[@purplatypus7405]

The switch isn't the tip. The tip is you can Move and fight with zero stamina units using the switch

I’ve got a super squad in my Expert playthrough that is damn near unbreakable. Ironically it’s only a 4 man squad. Front line is Berengaria with the Mirage Greatshield and silk scarf. Back line has Rosalinde with Large First air kit, an elven fencer doing elven fencer things(like making ranged attacks miss), and the fourth is a bit of a flex slot, currently filled with a Breaker. Before Rosalinde leveled up to have her Rage of the Fairies opener, Berengaria would use her wicked Eye. Between everyone having attacks designed to cause ailments, Berengaria leeching their health with her Sanguine Pursuit, and Sanguine Pursuit refunding it’s own cost when hitting an afflicted target, they just keep piling the damage on and on. Berengaria heals up whatever attacks actually manage to land on her(not many) and any damage chipped at the rest of the party gets healed up by Rosalinde at the end of battle. The only thing I have seen break this team is multiple ranged/magic assists killing the backline at the start of battle. Everything else, Berengaria just bleeds them dry

[@SeanTxty]

At the 30+ level mark you really have to start thinking about limited abilities a lot more because the "at the start of battle" slot is so highly contested. Agree with Berengaria on Mirage shield, I popped it on her as soon as I got it and never changed it for both expert and true zenoiran playthroughs. In my TZ run, though, I built a squad more around synergies with Berengaria and kept her opening move... paired with doom knight and werefox to maximize the debuff and affliction mechanics. I am now running around singing the praises of werefox and wereowl because they have the best mobility of any units in the game as party leaders and the late game makes day/night manipulation super available so unless you're relying on a lot of diurnal skills there's no good reason not to do this.

[@raarasunai4896]

@@SeanTxty I would love to hear how you build your werefox! I want to make Dinah work so badly. She is my Waifu!

[@SeanTxty]

I don't think you need anything too special TBH. My build used Lightning Shaker, she has super high initiative so you can open combat with a row stun on backline. Pair her with anyone that debuffs and she'll quickly throw out a little damage. Nothing life changing, but good chip that softens blockers mainly. Her pursuit skill is pretty good so you probably want to give her some PP... otherwise you just lean into her as an evade tank that fills a support role. Like for instance since she combos really well with Doom Knight you could put doom knights on your backline and give her General's Spear with a tactic to target backline and she'll give them all attack and crit+ I really see her first and foremost as a frontline evade tank party leader that has some synergies with other builds and can support them a little bit. BUT since the attack that triggers when something is debuffed is not limited you could throw 3 of them in a party and they will kill whatever is debuffed for sure. @@raarasunai4896

For infinite ranged assists, just place that mobile fortress item and put your ranged unit in it. They expensive, but super nice in a choke point.

[@gmoney5772]

I had 6 squads that all finished above lvl 40, with top one at like 43 or 44. It’s super helpful to have multiple diff options, especially on those multi hold point maps. I never really struggled because i focused on spreading out kills and xp from the get go. Part of what makes this game great is that there are so many different ways to approach team comps/battle strategy.

You should toss titanium legman into the mix as well!

[@SeanTxty]

I think for most of the game you should alternate between 2 pushing teams and have a C team that holds bases... then you want to improve that C team around Bastorias and start planning a 4th team that you develop through Albion. At that point any other teams you'd put together would be for fun or for specific counters that you haven't worked out in other teams because they aren't strong enough to, as you said in a previous video, bypass the mechanics and just not worry about the specifics of the matchup all that much. There's really not even enough great equipment and characters to make more teams than like 5 and some of those will be a bit worse than your main teams. The only map that might be challenging in this strat is that one Drakenhold tower defense style map.

[@Izzy-rh7br]

Tip 6: Don't try making 10 super squads... almost impossible without item swapping constantly.

[@jinoku2000]

Ranged assists when they make you take more damage made me rethink a ranged only squad.

[@SeanTxty]

Honestly yeah... ranged assist is barely useable for me. No ranged unit leader has good enough mobility to keep pace with the team and a lot of times you're turning them off because somehow their assistance actually hurts you, which I don't fully understand how that is happening mechanically. There's only a few instances where they actually feel helpful and easy enough to use because there's like a free tower right by your command post or something and you can justify using two units to hold the position.

[@AnnaAltah]

​@@SeanTxty Just Put a fast unit AS Leader an then Change the Leader , a horse unit with a Lot of archers for example

[@fugfiggen1536]

They usually aren't directly causing you to take more damage and instead are rerolling the RNG in a game that gives you perfect information. You know the crazy RNG manipulation that Fire Emblem speedrunners do? Well this game has RNG manipulation baked in to basic mechanics. Think of assists as a potential mulligan. They can potentially reroll a good engagement into a bad one, but they can also reroll a bad engagement into a good one. This also means that if you have multiple assists, you can go through them all and switch them on and off until you get find the combination that gives you the best roll.

[@spankhill7722]

I wish they would patch the stamina thing and the free teleporting. Too much broken on release.

[@CptCaterpie]

What's the free teleporting?

[@jinoku2000]

We sure they weren't intentional?

@@jinoku2000 even if it was intentional it needs to be changed. It’s way too cheap.

Lol most of these are simple beginners tips that you learn in the first couple minutes of the game. You can fit with zero stamina "glitch", yeah duh. You wander around the map past bad guys, yeah duh.. you figure that out almost immediately. You can buy stuff with shards, yeah they introduce that with the first hour of the game 😂

What I get forced to rest when I hit 0 stamina though.
