Had a slight misunderstanding about how characters read the skill list when making Tactics, which impacted a few of my example builds. Thank you to everyone for your corrections, I've addressed it in my next video. Cheers!
@@TitaniumLegman From my understanding of the game tips page, (limited) means that if multiple skills trigger (from multiple characters) at the same time, then only the character with highest initiative will actually trigger.
One of the simplest but most impactful changes you can do is to give Josef the magic sword. He has higher magic atk than physical allowing to cut through just about anything.
@@Trace153Well, i can put your doubts at ease on this one. The only one that gets his XP cut in the squad is Joseph himself. Everyone else in his squad gets normal xp. In general the XP cut sets in for a unit, if it is 3 or 4 lvls ahead of the enemy (my Alain was a bit too strong sometimes). So you can use Josef to get weaker/benched units or freshly recruited mercs to the level of your main squads. Also you can use Joseph to bait out map attacks of stationed archers. This is one of the few games, where your mentor unit isn`t much of a detriment.
@@ericteichmiller5721Though i would argue that Josef still will be relevant through the entire game, thanks to his ability to heal. He will shift from carry to support, like a proper mentor.^^
I find it best in the hands of Alaine or Lex mostly because they have less answers to a variety of threats. I mean I'm playing on expert I can charge Josef and Clive headlong into pikes, axes, mages and other calvary.
Hah, I love it! I scrapped a video before the weekend talking up how good the Viper Fang on a Fighter could be, it's great to see that come up here. Now to finish watching to see if the Soldier/Phalanx brick comes up 🤔
You and Iced Coffee Gaming are doing the fathers work for all of us! propper insight into the mechanics of the game now have me FULLY on board buying this!
I could be wrong, but based on my understanding of the Tactics menu the order of Tactics is not interpreted as a processing order but rather as a logic checklist. Ie, in your Berenice example in the event that Following Slash hypothetically was able to trigger on multiple enemies in a single "resolution" of the ability Following Slash Highest HP being before Following Slash lowest HP means that Highest HP will always occur because there's no reason for the AI to "look" at the second tactic since the condition of "Highest HP enemy is present" will always exist, so you'd need to have something like "Following Slash: Condition1: Lowest HP, Condition 2: HP less than 25%" followed by "Following Slash: Highest HP" so that the AI can make the decision.
Yes its a logic checklist and sometimes you have to force it to do what you want. Basically the logic will check in order and the only way it will go down is if the logic before becomes invalid.
@@TitaniumLegman Have you tested to see if the Following Slash actually targets someone other than the enemy who initiated the attack? It looks like this skill only triggers against the original enemy based on the video clip above.
My expert carry build was lucky coin/ silken thief tank leader, a back line Crit/damage Housecarl with the crush action but have the skill only target armor/cavalry because smash is just better against everything else, and finally a back line flame bow archer that also has the pursuit skill item equipped, so the archer can double attack in a round and the second attack usually burns for twenty. The archer setup can basically solo flying teams alone and this team build can be fully setup in about a hour. This team only real weakness is true strike and assist damage but in the current demo nothing really does damage to this team outside of special enemies and this team has coverage on nearly every enemy type. This team can solo a few early maps.
@@sidra_games4551 Pursuant Bracelet, it in one of the shops around the middle of the map. It either the priest town shop Or the cavalry town shop but I am betting on the Calvary. The item scales with PP, so it should also be really good on a back line thief or any character that doesn’t really need there PP for anything.
Yeah I used something similar to your burning squad. Only mine has 2 wizards and a hopelite. The other wizard is generic one that has an item that increases your teammates magic, while halfing his own. (He too targets the highest HP, because when the other wizard does the explosion thing it does double damage to all targets ;)
You did pronounce Francoise perfectly ! almost... François is for male, Françoise is for female , the E in the end is what make it female , mean that you have to pronounce the S instead of it being silent in the male version of the name , just put like a Z in the end , like Buzz, like "francoiz " maybe ? i don't know how to explain, but you almost nailed it ! ;) . Also cool video, thx u
I really enjoyed you coming up with these on the Stream. Not sure if I've already written this but here are few that I've figured out that I think are decent. Like pairing Choe with Hodrick in the front row and adding Rolf in back. (Choe heals Holdrick after guarding the units with lower HP and she can deal to a front and back row at once while Rolf can pick of thief's and Flyers ) Another is Travis in front with Lex and Bruno at the back. (dodge tank, AOE attack and self healing and Lex will guard Travis when a Archer tries to pick him off) Lastly Sharon, Yahna at the back and Alain up front. (Alain maintains his HP and Yahna buffs so he can do magic damage while he's protecting them.)
New subscriber here, been loving the videos. I’m thoroughly enjoying this game and am really thankful to have your channel as a great information resource. Thanks a bunch!
Something I have liked for a 4-member comp is Ochlys as leader for flight and dodge tank, Sanguine Sword (Runic when needed) Lex with Arrow Guard to cover Ochlys but Dancer's Bracelet as +30% attack buff when No Archers as gambit, Berenice to do Berenice things, and Sharon with the Lyrical Staff to heal or give Berenice +1 AP to potentially trigger her Killing Sweep if she did not on her first swing (Gambit setting to highest attack/0 AP)
As far as I'm aware, the Sellsword Following Slash only targets the opponent that made the attack that triggered it. However, I have had rounds where my two sellswords have made something like 6 total attacks on just Passive Points. It's rare, but it's glorious.
For Auch unit, you would want all fire attacks to have a secondary condition to only hit non-burning enemies. This way you are not wasting the fire benefit. Another option (just thought of it now) would be to setup condition 1 for Highest HP % (since 100% means they were not attacked yet) and condition 2 would be to hit anyone who hasn't attacked yet (1 or more AP) or maybe lowest initiative, since burn kicks in before someone activates an active skill. Hitting someone who's already used up their AP would not utilize the burn ability. It would be nice if you had more than 2 conditions, as I've thought up a few combo ideas but need 3-4 condition triggers. It would be nice if the game allowed you to trigger based on the attack a member is doing, so you only cast X buff on teammate if they are using attack Y. As a side note, I noticed that the cleric's heal skill description mentions it's to heal an ally. I have tested it out and the cleric will use the skill to heal herself as well. I wonder if that was a programming mistake or a skill description mistake. The cleric does have that life saver skill later on that self-heals.
Ironically that’s perhaps the one thing TO strangely never did; specifically in never doing a defend fight. Denam was always on the march and it suited the story, I’ll grant (and lots of different versions of some locations as well as sometimes giving you the high ground), but in hindsight it’s kind of funny that it never happened in that story.
Gryphon Knight is my favorite unit. Her plus a Fighter just seems natural as does what I find Hoplite plus Sellsword although I had thought the Sellsword counter was against an opponent that attacked till I turned the demo back on and re-read it. 😅
The silent S in "Francois" makes the name masculine 😅 The E on the end makes the name feminine, and causes the S to be voiced, which sounds like "fran-swaaz" On the flip side, "René" and "Renée" are pronounced the same, so my ears keep perking up at every mention of René the fighter lol.
I think for Icebolt your second priority - switch it to only armored. Prioritize is there to basically save lines when you want to target something but if that's not there still use the abillity under it's standard programming. I think as you have it, it will never get to your priority 3 icebolt. Same thing for Poison slash. And if you want to make it target the lowest HP armored unit, assuming there is an armor unit then you use condition 2. Also from my own gameplay - Following Slash will keep triggering as long as she doesn't miss. But it doesn't trigger when she's attacked so stick her in the back so it's more likely her allies are getting attacked. Powerful call I am not a fan of on her - it eats PP so stops her attacks
Yes, the prioritize thing is something I definitely misunderstood at first. That's good to know about following slash, I hadn't encountered any situations where it really had the chance to trigger multiple times, so I wasn't sure. As for Powerful call, the reason I'm using it as I am with Berenice, is because she's setting up the chain kills for her Knights. By buffing them, it makes it easier for them to start getting kills, and once buffed they'll stay buffed for the fight. With this setup that's more important than continuous following slashes, which could even run the risk of killing something that I don't want killed, thus breaking the chain. I'd rather have her hit something with high health once, and let the knights clean it up.
@@TitaniumLegman Throw a Crude Tasset on the knight instead. Same outcome - more efficient as it wont cost her multiple attacks losing the knight Quick Guard is no biggy. This game has so much awesome already
For the fire squad, you can also add the condition "target not burning" to make sure Rolf and Auch attack a different target, hopefully leaving one alive for the flame burst
If I'm understanding what you're asking correctly, yes I'm fairly certain you can trigger the Sellswords counter basically infinitely. I could be remembering wrong since I was playing with a 102 fever but before it really clicked what they do they absolutely obliterated my cav unit because the one in the back just kept attacking. Also your pronunciation is good for most of the names, only thing is Francoise you pronounce the s (Fran-swahs) and I believe Auch is pronounced like Ohsh. I know Auch is German origin but I've only heard it in French so I could be completely wrong lmao
Funny you mentioning Auch being german in origin. Cause in the german localisation his name is Auche. As far as i know "Auch" is not a name in german, but the german word for "too" or "aswell".
It bugs me the way Alain's name is pronounced in the game. I once had a French boss with that name, and it was pronounced a-LAHN. Not like the girl's name Elaine.
As basic as it is, my personal favorite 3-man squad is the main character and the heavy shield dude (I'm terrible at remembering character names, so I'm not even going to try 😛) in the front row and the axe mercenary dude in the back (the small one that played a decoy, not the big one from the thief dude's side quest), but staggered so that lance enemies can't column attack. I give the shield dude the PP shield from the witch side quest so that he can block multiple times, I give the main character a tactic that has him block magical attacks for the shield dude, and the merc is there for the added damage as well as his awesome valor skill that lets him recover 2 stamina for a nearby unit, so they can just tear through the enemy lines. If they need extra damage then I have an archer unit and a mage unit provide ranged assists. It's extremely effective 🙂
I had a knight set up with offensive & go getter knight growth equipped with a leaf amulet(that item that recovers hp every time you spend AP). he'd recover hp every time he attacked and was backed up by a witch that would buff his attack to be magic. had her equipped with that amulet you can buy from ochlys that gives +1 PP. real clean sweeper.
You can achieve the same result with a Huscarl in the back. Helmsplitter or Crush can pretty much set up a cavalry sweep if the crushed unit is the only one in the front.
Great team comps. Personally i use the auch + rolf combo as well (with a different tank). I also do the gryphon knight + witch combo too (but use someone else over the fighter).
@@TitaniumLegman another one i have thats similar that i'm surprised you didnt put here but i saw in your stream kill of Galerius is the travis + yahna combo. Passive steal + freeze with high initiative is one of the best control combos in the game. I'd round that out with a housecarl or someone with pursuit like Josef.
@@TheRobversion1 that's definitely strong. I just didn't include it here as I used it for all of one battle. Haven't had the chance to really test it, yknow?
@@TitaniumLegman cool. More of these types of vids! i can say for sure that that thief + witch team is not just good for galerius but for other matchups. Add a striker like Josef/Clive with pursuit or housecarl and it should be golden.
Try this team setup, it's my absolute favorite: Berenice x 2 Griffin Nights + 1 Cleric for 4 man squad, if you're still 3 man, just x 2 Griffin Knights, Berenice in the back with the two griffins up front Berenice: Black-Iron Sword , Mercenary Eye Patch, Lucky Coin (will have 65%+ crit rate) Griffin Knights: Silk Scarfs (65+ Evasion) Absolute death machine.
The lucky coin comes with the unique cleric you can recruit. The scarves can be bought in various shops iirc, and you also get one with Travis the Thief.
@titaniumlegman Any idea where I can find the precious rod? I've looked all over the three realms I've explored so far (cornia, draken, and elheim), but can't find it in any shops. Checked black market and divine shard vendors and didn't see it there either. Appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!
Very nice setup. I use pretty similar with Auch but with the thief as tank. I had experiment with Clive instead of Rolf and with Pursuit as well which I find it pretty useful. I am very interested in your Berenice built but I am thinking of adding a healer as the 4th person or might change out 1 of the knight for someone with shield ability. This game tactics really have a lot potential plus replay value. I don't really use Discord but I might join yours just to discuss about the games and tactics used and potential which might have.
Berenice is the best unit of the demo. At level 10 she gets Killing Chain, getting 1 AP per kill, like Assaulting Blade of the Knights, but she has way higher Atk than cavs so it works like a charm on her. I would put her in the back row so that your unit is not susceptible to AoE attacks like Gladiators
I am a big Fire Emblem player. Going back to my Gameboy Advance. I bought a Switch Oled the beginning of 2023. I bought Unicorn Overlord because of how it looks and the reviews. I struggled greatly in the beginning - but I am getting a hang of it. I don't like the leveling up system, I wish there were more random enemies to fight instead of going back to the Sigil Trails repeatedly.
Ah, you also figured out, how effective a combination of Auche and Rolf can be. And you already improved on it.^^ I also like to use Witch+Hoplite for a simple utility purpose. Witches can teleport, which eliminates basic armored issues and especially on larger maps you have plenty of VP to spend.^^ Add a soldier with Skewer (jup, another win for german localisation translating directly from Japanese) and you have a solid self-sustaining team. Also, Thief+Gladiator and Cleric is a simple basic combo with solid defense and solid offense. Thief in the middle can dodge attacks from two columns and Gladiators self sustain can take the third. And Cleric can get a neat little staff that gives regen to a row, keeping Gladiator healthy for his big swings. Also, just for fun, here are some more german localization tidbits. Gryphon Knights "High Swing" is called "Klauenzerreißer" (claw ripper/tearer) in german. Also i love how the Gryphon seems almost to have a grin on his face, when the swing hits. Since there isn`t a direct translation for "Sellsword" in the german language (mercenaries are called "Söldner" in german for the word "Sold" meaning salary) they took the next best approach and called the unit "Mietklinge" (rental blade). Also "Following Slash" is called "Vergeltungshieb" (Retaliatory blow/strike).
I gave berenices the pursuit ability because of how hard she hits with a tanky guy up front, then she gets basically assaulting lance for her class a bit later and she starts Going in harder
Really cool builds, got to see them in action during the livestream. The Gryphon Rider is especially nuts. I do wonder though if Berenice's squad wouldn't benefit more from a Cavalry leader for the movement speed. I don't know the stamina difference and I didn't play the demo. As for Auch's squad, imagine getting a second mage with that staff for double explosions. Sheesh.
If i understood it correctly for balancing reasons there is a limit to maximal stamina for mounted units. Cavalry gets only 5 maximal stamina, while fliers only have 4.
So I have 1 squad I spent a bit of time tinkering with and am really happy with how it turned out. I have left it on a few different UO videos so I will post it here too in case people want to try it. Also I only use the unique characters so feel free to replace with generics since it doesn't really matter. Anyway squad leader is Clive with the True Strike lance with True Strike as priority 1 set to only target Scouts and Fliers, priority 2 is Assault Lance to target lowest HP not lowest % HP this could come into play rarely, then I gave him the shield from the walled city that gives +1 PP and the Pursuit Bracelet then disabled Quick Guard so he only uses Pursuit. With this setup he will use True Strike against super evasive enemies otherwise he will use Assaulting Lance to kill everything. I put him in the back row. Now our tank is Alain with the Runic Sword and Templar's Shield, priority 1 is Magick Attack set to only target armors, priority 2 Lean Edge target lowest HP, then leave everything else how it is. Final member is Chloe I didn't mess with her tactics at all the game automatically sets them up in a good way and she is only really there to top off HP with her heal and trigger Clive Pursuit. She does get some super effective moves too which is nice. I put Clive in back left, Chloe in back right, and Alain front middle.
If anyone doesn't already know using a charge skill with a cat hat ally is insanely powerful. Example- Hilda with dragoon spear and heavywyvern reins and raven plume, cloe keen call, anyone quick impetus. Hilda with high initiative(mines 60) will go first and start her attack all charge. Quick impetus will make it attack immediately and cloe will make it a guarantee crit with keen call and hildas heavywyvern reins makes her attack truestrike. The only enemies that will survive are hoplites and fighters so just use a hammer guy to finish them off and it's easy cakes
Idk about anyone else, but i crushed demo boss with that fire staff, fire bow, and magic spear hoplite. Almost just like the one mentioned here, but normal difficulty and i was only level 8. And judging from these UO videos i think i missed most of the demo 😂
16:15 Am I wrong in thinking that when using PP (or AP, same rules) it will always go through the list from top to bottom? So unless you put an obligatory condition in priority 2 (Example: "row with +2 units") then it will always choose that one, making setting up a priority 3 useless?
For the Berenice example in particular, it's not quite clear to me if Following Slash can trigger multiple times off a single priority. So I'm basically just experimenting with the build to see if it works or not, and if it doesn't, it still works the same. Just fishing for value while I figure out the system's behavior.
@@TitaniumLegman Yeah I get it there is no loss in adding more so it's fine. My point was only that just as attacks that use AP, you only really need one gambit even if you have more than one AP/PP, cause for each point spent the game will go through the whole list from top to bottom each time. The only time you need to double the same ability is if you want an obligatory condition checked first and don't want your unit to do nothing if that condition is not met. If the condition is not obligatory, like for instance "prioritize Armored", the ability still gets used even if there are no Armored units.
Honestly if it weren’t for the time maybe you should just idk not have any special equipment on units except for recruit stuff for exp and then just equip your units with what’s best for that fight. If you equip the good stuff to your units if another unit would benefit for a combat from that item equipping it to them isn’t an option since you can’t swap inventories.
Prioritize backrow does not mean only backrow unless the translation is bad. it would not move to the next condition ever, with that setup to my understanding.
Yeah, Huscarls (german name) have a bit of a slow start. However once they reach Lvl. 4 or 5 they start hitting hard enough to one-hit anything that doesn`t have buffs or high defense. I don`t even have anything specific set on Aubin and he usually eliminates one Fighter on his turn. (though it also can be just level difference, since i didn`t compare his and enemy lvls yet)
5:50 are you sure those tactics work like that? I would think it would just stop at the first one since there will always be a row with most combatants unless they have equal numbers then if they have equal numbers I would think it would auto target front row or something like that since it says priorize rather than only if there is a row with most combatants. Maybe if you put lowest HP as condition 2 it would work? Have you tested it? I am curious how the game interprets the tactics. Could probably use mock battles to test these things. I have yet to mess around with more complex tactics really.
so i was playing the demo today on the xbox, trying out expert mode 'cause i don't tend to play on 'hard' mode. i stumbled into something that shouldn't have worked. i was going around with Joseph and his unit ran out of Stamina. the stage was filled with archers. i didn't get the chance to rest his unit. another unit would trigger combat and Joseph was in range to switch with. Since he wasn't 'resting' he was allowed to take actions in combat. i used him to tank all the ranged supports and slowly chip away at enemy units until and he'd just heal most of the dmg and get ping-pong'd around the field while other units would pick fights.
This is actually allowed. Until you rest, you're able to fight back. Handy way to park a tough unit on a choke point and let them tank even if they run out of stamina, then rest then later once your team has cleared out some enemies.
As usual thank you for a great video, and all your coverage of the game. Your griffon unit's name is pronounced like "franswaaz". I did the demo in french so I don't know for the english version, by watching your videos I assume the recruit name list is the same, but so far almost all the characters' names are french. For me it's like going at war with my whole family and friends (my aunt's name is Françoise, my uncle Alain, my grandfather's name was Josef, etc...).
Prioitize combatant type doesn't seem to always work for me so only use on combatant type was needed for buffs. There's also no way to tell soldiers to prioritize a full column for long thrust. It attacks a full column or doesn't attack at all. This should have been a condition, not a use of a whole tactic slot
Hey Tom, if you’re swapping between 2 weapons based on the situation, is there a way to avoid having the weapon default to its original tactic? Using (just) Scout on my Unwavering Spear but whenever I swap weapons, it defaults to Prioritize Scout.
Could set up a Tactic that you save. You can have up to 5 or 6 saved tactics per class. Switch to the weapon you want, load up the Tactic list for it quick. Not the MOST elegant solution but not bad either.
I didnt get to C rank but im super close and have over 100 renown waiting for the full game so I can hit C and then instantly upgrade 2 units to having 4 members.
Where do you get the Guardian Gloves? Because I have definitely not seen them in the entire southern half of the game which I mostly cleared in my Switch playthrough. Otherwise cool builds I'm trying out right now for my PS5 run. If you want to go overkill you could just add Josef and Clive instead of generics to Bernice's unit... that gives you TWO Pursuit users and Josef can add in some heals/protection if ever necessary.
Oh good question, I'm trying to recall. I want to say it was from the shop in the walled city you liberate from the hammer warrior, after I upgraded the city to max.
It's not there. On this run I went on a collection run up north and had resources to full upgrade anything and still haven't found it. I thought it might be on the town's liberated with Alan's quest (didn't do that) but those don't have it either.
It's definitely not anywhere on the southern map. I did everything now, including Melisandre and Auch obviously. Neither the Gloves nor the Hallowed Blade are anywhere to be found and I restored every town on the way. I saw the Secret Shop video and they are definitely not in there either, so I honestly dunno where you got them.
I'd like to see a video of just a quick rundown of all the classes. I see individual, focused videos, but that's not helpful if I don't know what all the options are.
You were like one level away from rewriting this whole video XD Every one of your dudes were level 9, and 10 is where everyone learns a new skill...well most of them lol
Just a small optimization thing but the auch should have 1 more tactic for fire burst that has no condition or target lowest on the final priority on the rare chance that no burning enemies survive to the end of the combat, preventing wasting the passive point
It's a bit funny but it looks like fighters with arrow cover would hard counter a gryphon knight despite the magic damage since arrow cover negates the damage.
Having both conditions would combine them into 1. By separating them into two separate attacks, the unit would check the first conditions for the first attack, then if they don't see the target for that, go to the second. That's what I want.
Awesome thanks guys. So it's an AND OR type scenario. Imma need to experiment more on this. The fact that builds will include ai templates just adds a whole new dimension to strategizing
@@lildragon0 I don't know that that's exactly correct tho. The devs themselves described it as a priority list: check the first, if not full filled, check the second, until AP and PP are expended.
I don't see the need to put Bernice in a glass cannon loadout, she can carry most squads because as far as I know she's the only one in the demo with an attack with 150 physical potency (Heavy Swing). She also gets an attack at level 10 called Killing Chain that gives +1 AP if she kills the unit. You might as well put the Pursuers Bracelet and the Lapis Pendent on her to turn her into a human blender.
You're almost right. The idea is that, once she hits 10 and gets Killing Chain, she'll synergize with the Knights who do the same thing. At that point, she presents another chance for the chain to start beyond just weakening enemies to set up for the Knights. Also, Pursuit is its own attack with its own damage; it doesn't use her Heavy Swing damage, so beyond her own natural strength it's no better on her than anyone else. In fact, it would take PP away from her more powerful Following Slash. Pursuit only has a power of 75, whereas Following Slash has 100.
Why? Row with most combatants will always target the most combatants, whether that be 2 or 3. Also, this isn't a unit that's meant to kill Cavs, so I'm not worried about that condition.
@@TitaniumLegmangryphon knight are the only anti cav units we seen in the game so far, also if both enemy row have only 1 unit in them the most enemy condition is still meet, so your second attack gambit is useless. Not at my switch though so can't confirm.
I don’t want to be impertinent but, well… Frankly, I kind of see Josef and Clive together as being a bit, I dunno, basic? I mean I get the overwhelming power thing, but… seems a little unvaried I guess? O.o Keep in mind, I’m also one who thinks putting Chloe and/or Lex with Alain is interesting, so I’m no real expert with an unbiased eye. Certainly not as objectively-sighted as you, oh great Legman of Titanium. ;-) More seriously, for all the odd limitations on certain stuff that we’re all a bit bummed out by (the gender-specific classes is giving me FE Fates->Houses flashbacks…) there’s an absurd degree of versatility to this game, which I can’t help feeling will give it longevity possibly beyond what VanillaWare OR Atlus might be anticipating. We can only hope so, as this is one surefire way to leave your mark successfully on the gaming community.
@@TitaniumLegman ahhhh. I see it now. I never knew that. Now yoy can set priorities levels for a single skill. I should play the demo again for the 6th time to look into that. Lol

One of the simplest but most impactful changes you can do is to give Josef the magic sword. He has higher magic atk than physical allowing to cut through just about anything.
@@Trace153Well, i can put your doubts at ease on this one. The only one that gets his XP cut in the squad is Joseph himself. Everyone else in his squad gets normal xp. In general the XP cut sets in for a unit, if it is 3 or 4 lvls ahead of the enemy (my Alain was a bit too strong sometimes). So you can use Josef to get weaker/benched units or freshly recruited mercs to the level of your main squads. Also you can use Joseph to bait out map attacks of stationed archers. This is one of the few games, where your mentor unit isn`t much of a detriment.

Travis, travis, he's our man! If he can't dodge....I'll probably die....
I could be wrong, but based on my understanding of the Tactics menu the order of Tactics is not interpreted as a processing order but rather as a logic checklist. Ie, in your Berenice example in the event that Following Slash hypothetically was able to trigger on multiple enemies in a single "resolution" of the ability Following Slash Highest HP being before Following Slash lowest HP means that Highest HP will always occur because there's no reason for the AI to "look" at the second tactic since the condition of "Highest HP enemy is present" will always exist, so you'd need to have something like "Following Slash: Condition1: Lowest HP, Condition 2: HP less than 25%" followed by "Following Slash: Highest HP" so that the AI can make the decision.
I believe you are correct about this, yes.
Yes its a logic checklist and sometimes you have to force it to do what you want.
Basically the logic will check in order and the only way it will go down is if the logic before becomes invalid.
This is a bit different with Final Fantasy XII's Gambits where the Gambits of the highest tier have priority so this threw me for a loop.
@@TitaniumLegman Have you tested to see if the Following Slash actually targets someone other than the enemy who initiated the attack? It looks like this skill only triggers against the original enemy based on the video clip above.
Thank you Mr. Legman. I realize I'm a bit late to the party but these videos have been invaluable.
I'm glad I can be of service, keep enjoying the game brother!
Wouldn’t be a real old-school srpg without some quirky menu-ing. That video you mention as coming out tomorrow sounds right up my alley.
Working on the script now, I'm hoping to still get it out tomorrow. Lots of little intricacies to discuss so it's slow going.
synergizing unit based on strength: 🥵🥶
synergizing unit based on relationship: 🍷🗿
My expert carry build was lucky coin/ silken thief tank leader, a back line Crit/damage Housecarl with the crush action but have the skill only target armor/cavalry because smash is just better against everything else, and finally a back line flame bow archer that also has the pursuit skill item equipped, so the archer can double attack in a round and the second attack usually burns for twenty.
The archer setup can basically solo flying teams alone and this team build can be fully setup in about a hour.
This team only real weakness is true strike and assist damage but in the current demo nothing really does damage to this team outside of special enemies and this team has coverage on nearly every enemy type.
This team can solo a few early maps.
Shit I missed the pursuit skill item. What's it called?
@@sidra_games4551 Pursuant Bracelet, it in one of the shops around the middle of the map.
It either the priest town shop Or the cavalry town shop but I am betting on the Calvary.
The item scales with PP, so it should also be really good on a back line thief or any character that doesn’t really need there PP for anything.
@@sidra_games4551 It in the hammer town shop, it scales with PP
Yeah I used something similar to your burning squad. Only mine has 2 wizards and a hopelite. The other wizard is generic one that has an item that increases your teammates magic, while halfing his own. (He too targets the highest HP, because when the other wizard does the explosion thing it does double damage to all targets ;)
Oh yes, that's a nice way to do it.
You did pronounce Francoise perfectly ! almost... François is for male, Françoise is for female , the E in the end is what make it female , mean that you have to pronounce the S instead of it being silent in the male version of the name , just put like a Z in the end , like Buzz, like "francoiz " maybe ? i don't know how to explain, but you almost nailed it ! ;) . Also cool video, thx u
I really enjoyed you coming up with these on the Stream. Not sure if I've already written this but here are few that I've figured out that I think are decent. Like pairing Choe with Hodrick in the front row and adding Rolf in back. (Choe heals Holdrick after guarding the units with lower HP and she can deal to a front and back row at once while Rolf can pick of thief's and Flyers ) Another is Travis in front with Lex and Bruno at the back. (dodge tank, AOE attack and self healing and Lex will guard Travis when a Archer tries to pick him off) Lastly Sharon, Yahna at the back and Alain up front. (Alain maintains his HP and Yahna buffs so he can do magic damage while he's protecting them.)
The Auch and Flame Bow Rolf combo is so insane. I used Travis as my tank in the demo, but I'll give Hodrick a shot.
I've been watching you for a couple days now. Taught me so much about the game. I can't wait for unicorn overlord to come out.
New subscriber here, been loving the videos. I’m thoroughly enjoying this game and am really thankful to have your channel as a great information resource. Thanks a bunch!
Something I have liked for a 4-member comp is Ochlys as leader for flight and dodge tank, Sanguine Sword (Runic when needed) Lex with Arrow Guard to cover Ochlys but Dancer's Bracelet as +30% attack buff when No Archers as gambit, Berenice to do Berenice things, and Sharon with the Lyrical Staff to heal or give Berenice +1 AP to potentially trigger her Killing Sweep if she did not on her first swing (Gambit setting to highest attack/0 AP)
That sounds very slick, I'll have to try this one at some point.
I'm looking forward to your class overview videos.
As far as I'm aware, the Sellsword Following Slash only targets the opponent that made the attack that triggered it. However, I have had rounds where my two sellswords have made something like 6 total attacks on just Passive Points. It's rare, but it's glorious.
For Auch unit, you would want all fire attacks to have a secondary condition to only hit non-burning enemies. This way you are not wasting the fire benefit. Another option (just thought of it now) would be to setup condition 1 for Highest HP % (since 100% means they were not attacked yet) and condition 2 would be to hit anyone who hasn't attacked yet (1 or more AP) or maybe lowest initiative, since burn kicks in before someone activates an active skill. Hitting someone who's already used up their AP would not utilize the burn ability. It would be nice if you had more than 2 conditions, as I've thought up a few combo ideas but need 3-4 condition triggers. It would be nice if the game allowed you to trigger based on the attack a member is doing, so you only cast X buff on teammate if they are using attack Y.
As a side note, I noticed that the cleric's heal skill description mentions it's to heal an ally. I have tested it out and the cleric will use the skill to heal herself as well. I wonder if that was a programming mistake or a skill description mistake. The cleric does have that life saver skill later on that self-heals.
Love the unit build guide! Definitely looking forward to more 3 man builds :)
'You Win the game by capturing the objective';
here's hoping there's maybe some more Defense focused missions in the future;
Yes, I would absolutely adore that as well. (Would make traps more useful too 👀)
Ironically that’s perhaps the one thing TO strangely never did; specifically in never doing a defend fight. Denam was always on the march and it suited the story, I’ll grant (and lots of different versions of some locations as well as sometimes giving you the high ground), but in hindsight it’s kind of funny that it never happened in that story.
There are a couple that throw more enemies at your base.
Gryphon Knight is my favorite unit. Her plus a Fighter just seems natural as does what I find Hoplite plus Sellsword although I had thought the Sellsword counter was against an opponent that attacked till I turned the demo back on and re-read it. 😅
God damn i love this game, keep up the great work lad
The silent S in "Francois" makes the name masculine 😅
The E on the end makes the name feminine, and causes the S to be voiced, which sounds like "fran-swaaz"
On the flip side, "René" and "Renée" are pronounced the same, so my ears keep perking up at every mention of René the fighter lol.
I promise, I'm gonna try to remember. My mind is a sieve haha.
I think for Icebolt your second priority - switch it to only armored. Prioritize is there to basically save lines when you want to target something but if that's not there still use the abillity under it's standard programming. I think as you have it, it will never get to your priority 3 icebolt. Same thing for Poison slash. And if you want to make it target the lowest HP armored unit, assuming there is an armor unit then you use condition 2. Also from my own gameplay - Following Slash will keep triggering as long as she doesn't miss. But it doesn't trigger when she's attacked so stick her in the back so it's more likely her allies are getting attacked. Powerful call I am not a fan of on her - it eats PP so stops her attacks
Yes, the prioritize thing is something I definitely misunderstood at first. That's good to know about following slash, I hadn't encountered any situations where it really had the chance to trigger multiple times, so I wasn't sure. As for Powerful call, the reason I'm using it as I am with Berenice, is because she's setting up the chain kills for her Knights. By buffing them, it makes it easier for them to start getting kills, and once buffed they'll stay buffed for the fight. With this setup that's more important than continuous following slashes, which could even run the risk of killing something that I don't want killed, thus breaking the chain. I'd rather have her hit something with high health once, and let the knights clean it up.
@@TitaniumLegman Throw a Crude Tasset on the knight instead. Same outcome - more efficient as it wont cost her multiple attacks losing the knight Quick Guard is no biggy. This game has so much awesome already
I don't know that I saw the crude tasset, or if I did I just glazed over it. Good call.
For the fire squad, you can also add the condition "target not burning" to make sure Rolf and Auch attack a different target, hopefully leaving one alive for the flame burst
Oooooh, that's a very good point, thank you.
If I'm understanding what you're asking correctly, yes I'm fairly certain you can trigger the Sellswords counter basically infinitely. I could be remembering wrong since I was playing with a 102 fever but before it really clicked what they do they absolutely obliterated my cav unit because the one in the back just kept attacking. Also your pronunciation is good for most of the names, only thing is Francoise you pronounce the s (Fran-swahs) and I believe Auch is pronounced like Ohsh. I know Auch is German origin but I've only heard it in French so I could be completely wrong lmao
Funny you mentioning Auch being german in origin. Cause in the german localisation his name is Auche. As far as i know "Auch" is not a name in german, but the german word for "too" or "aswell".
It bugs me the way Alain's name is pronounced in the game. I once had a French boss with that name, and it was pronounced a-LAHN. Not like the girl's name Elaine.
As basic as it is, my personal favorite 3-man squad is the main character and the heavy shield dude (I'm terrible at remembering character names, so I'm not even going to try 😛) in the front row and the axe mercenary dude in the back (the small one that played a decoy, not the big one from the thief dude's side quest), but staggered so that lance enemies can't column attack.
I give the shield dude the PP shield from the witch side quest so that he can block multiple times, I give the main character a tactic that has him block magical attacks for the shield dude, and the merc is there for the added damage as well as his awesome valor skill that lets him recover 2 stamina for a nearby unit, so they can just tear through the enemy lines.
If they need extra damage then I have an archer unit and a mage unit provide ranged assists.
It's extremely effective 🙂
I had a knight set up with offensive & go getter knight growth equipped with a leaf amulet(that item that recovers hp every time you spend AP). he'd recover hp every time he attacked and was backed up by a witch that would buff his attack to be magic. had her equipped with that amulet you can buy from ochlys that gives +1 PP. real clean sweeper.
You can achieve the same result with a Huscarl in the back. Helmsplitter or Crush can pretty much set up a cavalry sweep if the crushed unit is the only one in the front.
Great team comps. Personally i use the auch + rolf combo as well (with a different tank). I also do the gryphon knight + witch combo too (but use someone else over the fighter).
Good to know we're on the same page! 😁
@@TitaniumLegman another one i have thats similar that i'm surprised you didnt put here but i saw in your stream kill of Galerius is the travis + yahna combo. Passive steal + freeze with high initiative is one of the best control combos in the game. I'd round that out with a housecarl or someone with pursuit like Josef.
@@TheRobversion1 that's definitely strong. I just didn't include it here as I used it for all of one battle. Haven't had the chance to really test it, yknow?
@@TitaniumLegman cool. More of these types of vids! i can say for sure that that thief + witch team is not just good for galerius but for other matchups. Add a striker like Josef/Clive with pursuit or housecarl and it should be golden.
I feel like you're growing so much congrats man!
I'm doing my best Drew, thank you! 😁
Try this team setup, it's my absolute favorite:
Berenice x 2 Griffin Nights + 1 Cleric for 4 man squad, if you're still 3 man, just x 2 Griffin Knights, Berenice in the back with the two griffins up front
Berenice: Black-Iron Sword , Mercenary Eye Patch, Lucky Coin (will have 65%+ crit rate)
Griffin Knights: Silk Scarfs (65+ Evasion)
Absolute death machine.
Where are you getting the scarves and lucky coin?
Oh yeah, that'll carve through just about anything.
The lucky coin comes with the unique cleric you can recruit. The scarves can be bought in various shops iirc, and you also get one with Travis the Thief.
@@noobbear1119 yeah Coin comes for Sophia, and the scarfs come from 2 shops that i know of, each you can buy 2, for 1500 each.
Ah amazing thanks both. And what about the griffin knight Francoise - what rough area of the map is her mission on?
my favorite was putting travis in the front row with clive and joseph in the back row.
@titaniumlegman Any idea where I can find the precious rod? I've looked all over the three realms I've explored so far (cornia, draken, and elheim), but can't find it in any shops. Checked black market and divine shard vendors and didn't see it there either. Appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks!
Very nice setup. I use pretty similar with Auch but with the thief as tank. I had experiment with Clive instead of Rolf and with Pursuit as well which I find it pretty useful. I am very interested in your Berenice built but I am thinking of adding a healer as the 4th person or might change out 1 of the knight for someone with shield ability. This game tactics really have a lot potential plus replay value. I don't really use Discord but I might join yours just to discuss about the games and tactics used and potential which might have.
Berenice is the best unit of the demo. At level 10 she gets Killing Chain, getting 1 AP per kill, like Assaulting Blade of the Knights, but she has way higher Atk than cavs so it works like a charm on her. I would put her in the back row so that your unit is not susceptible to AoE attacks like Gladiators
Yeah, she's insane. And that's absolutely a good change to make, I agree.
I love this game and waiting for it hopefully in pc platform, I hope to see it one day
I am a big Fire Emblem player. Going back to my Gameboy Advance. I bought a Switch Oled the beginning of 2023. I bought Unicorn Overlord because of how it looks and the reviews. I struggled greatly in the beginning - but I am getting a hang of it. I don't like the leveling up system, I wish there were more random enemies to fight instead of going back to the Sigil Trails repeatedly.
Ah, you also figured out, how effective a combination of Auche and Rolf can be. And you already improved on it.^^
I also like to use Witch+Hoplite for a simple utility purpose. Witches can teleport, which eliminates basic armored issues and especially on larger maps you have plenty of VP to spend.^^ Add a soldier with Skewer (jup, another win for german localisation translating directly from Japanese) and you have a solid self-sustaining team.
Also, Thief+Gladiator and Cleric is a simple basic combo with solid defense and solid offense. Thief in the middle can dodge attacks from two columns and Gladiators self sustain can take the third. And Cleric can get a neat little staff that gives regen to a row, keeping Gladiator healthy for his big swings.
Also, just for fun, here are some more german localization tidbits.
Gryphon Knights "High Swing" is called "Klauenzerreißer" (claw ripper/tearer) in german. Also i love how the Gryphon seems almost to have a grin on his face, when the swing hits.
Since there isn`t a direct translation for "Sellsword" in the german language (mercenaries are called "Söldner" in german for the word "Sold" meaning salary) they took the next best approach and called the unit "Mietklinge" (rental blade). Also "Following Slash" is called "Vergeltungshieb" (Retaliatory blow/strike).
German is such a rich language.
I gave berenices the pursuit ability because of how hard she hits with a tanky guy up front, then she gets basically assaulting lance for her class a bit later and she starts Going in harder
Really cool builds, got to see them in action during the livestream. The Gryphon Rider is especially nuts.
I do wonder though if Berenice's squad wouldn't benefit more from a Cavalry leader for the movement speed. I don't know the stamina difference and I didn't play the demo.
As for Auch's squad, imagine getting a second mage with that staff for double explosions. Sheesh.
If i understood it correctly for balancing reasons there is a limit to maximal stamina for mounted units. Cavalry gets only 5 maximal stamina, while fliers only have 4.
So I have 1 squad I spent a bit of time tinkering with and am really happy with how it turned out. I have left it on a few different UO videos so I will post it here too in case people want to try it. Also I only use the unique characters so feel free to replace with generics since it doesn't really matter. Anyway squad leader is Clive with the True Strike lance with True Strike as priority 1 set to only target Scouts and Fliers, priority 2 is Assault Lance to target lowest HP not lowest % HP this could come into play rarely, then I gave him the shield from the walled city that gives +1 PP and the Pursuit Bracelet then disabled Quick Guard so he only uses Pursuit. With this setup he will use True Strike against super evasive enemies otherwise he will use Assaulting Lance to kill everything. I put him in the back row. Now our tank is Alain with the Runic Sword and Templar's Shield, priority 1 is Magick Attack set to only target armors, priority 2 Lean Edge target lowest HP, then leave everything else how it is. Final member is Chloe I didn't mess with her tactics at all the game automatically sets them up in a good way and she is only really there to top off HP with her heal and trigger Clive Pursuit. She does get some super effective moves too which is nice. I put Clive in back left, Chloe in back right, and Alain front middle.
If anyone doesn't already know using a charge skill with a cat hat ally is insanely powerful. Example- Hilda with dragoon spear and heavywyvern reins and raven plume, cloe keen call, anyone quick impetus. Hilda with high initiative(mines 60) will go first and start her attack all charge. Quick impetus will make it attack immediately and cloe will make it a guarantee crit with keen call and hildas heavywyvern reins makes her attack truestrike. The only enemies that will survive are hoplites and fighters so just use a hammer guy to finish them off and it's easy cakes
Idk about anyone else, but i crushed demo boss with that fire staff, fire bow, and magic spear hoplite. Almost just like the one mentioned here, but normal difficulty and i was only level 8. And judging from these UO videos i think i missed most of the demo 😂
16:15 Am I wrong in thinking that when using PP (or AP, same rules) it will always go through the list from top to bottom? So unless you put an obligatory condition in priority 2 (Example: "row with +2 units") then it will always choose that one, making setting up a priority 3 useless?
For the Berenice example in particular, it's not quite clear to me if Following Slash can trigger multiple times off a single priority. So I'm basically just experimenting with the build to see if it works or not, and if it doesn't, it still works the same. Just fishing for value while I figure out the system's behavior.
@@TitaniumLegman Yeah I get it there is no loss in adding more so it's fine. My point was only that just as attacks that use AP, you only really need one gambit even if you have more than one AP/PP, cause for each point spent the game will go through the whole list from top to bottom each time. The only time you need to double the same ability is if you want an obligatory condition checked first and don't want your unit to do nothing if that condition is not met. If the condition is not obligatory, like for instance "prioritize Armored", the ability still gets used even if there are no Armored units.
I finished Ochlys's trading quest and now i'm holding onto four Lapis Pendants which is more pp than i know what to do with
Yeah, these Pendants are nuts.^^
Honestly if it weren’t for the time maybe you should just idk not have any special equipment on units except for recruit stuff for exp and then just equip your units with what’s best for that fight. If you equip the good stuff to your units if another unit would benefit for a combat from that item equipping it to them isn’t an option since you can’t swap inventories.
Prioritize backrow does not mean only backrow unless the translation is bad. it would not move to the next condition ever, with that setup to my understanding.
A trio of Lord, Thief, and Housecarl has done exceptionally well for me overall. Consistently beats up most ofher units and kills them in one battle.
Yes, that's a very consistent squad.
Yeah, Huscarls (german name) have a bit of a slow start. However once they reach Lvl. 4 or 5 they start hitting hard enough to one-hit anything that doesn`t have buffs or high defense. I don`t even have anything specific set on Aubin and he usually eliminates one Fighter on his turn. (though it also can be just level difference, since i didn`t compare his and enemy lvls yet)
Thief in front or back?
@@haywoco2Thief in front with Housecarl and Lord on the back row
5:50 are you sure those tactics work like that? I would think it would just stop at the first one since there will always be a row with most combatants unless they have equal numbers then if they have equal numbers I would think it would auto target front row or something like that since it says priorize rather than only if there is a row with most combatants. Maybe if you put lowest HP as condition 2 it would work? Have you tested it? I am curious how the game interprets the tactics. Could probably use mock battles to test these things. I have yet to mess around with more complex tactics really.
I’m on my 3rd play through and somehow I haven’t managed to find the guardian gloves - can someone tell me where they are?
so i was playing the demo today on the xbox, trying out expert mode 'cause i don't tend to play on 'hard' mode. i stumbled into something that shouldn't have worked. i was going around with Joseph and his unit ran out of Stamina. the stage was filled with archers. i didn't get the chance to rest his unit. another unit would trigger combat and Joseph was in range to switch with. Since he wasn't 'resting' he was allowed to take actions in combat. i used him to tank all the ranged supports and slowly chip away at enemy units until and he'd just heal most of the dmg and get ping-pong'd around the field while other units would pick fights.
try this 4 yourself and see what u think
This is actually allowed. Until you rest, you're able to fight back. Handy way to park a tough unit on a choke point and let them tank even if they run out of stamina, then rest then later once your team has cleared out some enemies.
As usual thank you for a great video, and all your coverage of the game.
Your griffon unit's name is pronounced like "franswaaz".
I did the demo in french so I don't know for the english version, by watching your videos I assume the recruit name list is the same, but so far almost all the characters' names are french. For me it's like going at war with my whole family and friends (my aunt's name is Françoise, my uncle Alain, my grandfather's name was Josef, etc...).
That's the best description of it I've seen, thank you for the help.
I hope the Bestral recruits name list managed to smuggle some russian names in among the scandinavian ones.^^
Prioitize combatant type doesn't seem to always work for me so only use on combatant type was needed for buffs. There's also no way to tell soldiers to prioritize a full column for long thrust. It attacks a full column or doesn't attack at all. This should have been a condition, not a use of a whole tactic slot
Hey Tom, if you’re swapping between 2 weapons based on the situation, is there a way to avoid having the weapon default to its original tactic? Using (just) Scout on my Unwavering Spear but whenever I swap weapons, it defaults to Prioritize Scout.
Could set up a Tactic that you save. You can have up to 5 or 6 saved tactics per class. Switch to the weapon you want, load up the Tactic list for it quick. Not the MOST elegant solution but not bad either.
will you be making more build vids in the future, loving these ones so far
Oh absolutely, no worries there.
I didnt get to C rank but im super close and have over 100 renown waiting for the full game so I can hit C and then instantly upgrade 2 units to having 4 members.
Where do you get the Guardian Gloves? Because I have definitely not seen them in the entire southern half of the game which I mostly cleared in my Switch playthrough. Otherwise cool builds I'm trying out right now for my PS5 run. If you want to go overkill you could just add Josef and Clive instead of generics to Bernice's unit... that gives you TWO Pursuit users and Josef can add in some heals/protection if ever necessary.
Oh good question, I'm trying to recall. I want to say it was from the shop in the walled city you liberate from the hammer warrior, after I upgraded the city to max.
It's not there. On this run I went on a collection run up north and had resources to full upgrade anything and still haven't found it. I thought it might be on the town's liberated with Alan's quest (didn't do that) but those don't have it either.
Hmm, I'll consult with the people in my discord, see if they can recall. @@matthiasengel8097
It's definitely not anywhere on the southern map. I did everything now, including Melisandre and Auch obviously. Neither the Gloves nor the Hallowed Blade are anywhere to be found and I restored every town on the way. I saw the Secret Shop video and they are definitely not in there either, so I honestly dunno where you got them.
Got confirmation from my Discord, they say it's from Treasure Map 2, "So it is woods by the river near Rolf area."
I'd like to see a video of just a quick rundown of all the classes. I see individual, focused videos, but that's not helpful if I don't know what all the options are.
Don't worry, that's in the works.
You were like one level away from rewriting this whole video XD
Every one of your dudes were level 9, and 10 is where everyone learns a new skill...well most of them lol
Just a small optimization thing but the auch should have 1 more tactic for fire burst that has no condition or target lowest on the final priority on the rare chance that no burning enemies survive to the end of the combat, preventing wasting the passive point
Oh yes, that's an excellent point. Thank you.
Could you put High Swing Lowest HP condition on condition 2, and it still functions the same or is it different?
If you stack archers or mages in a squad, does that amplify their assist attacks?
I've been hearing rumblings that it might, gonna have to test it.
I saw an enemy watchtower with 4 archers, and it made me think about it. Would be an extremely powerful tactic to leverage if it works like that.
It's a bit funny but it looks like fighters with arrow cover would hard counter a gryphon knight despite the magic damage since arrow cover negates the damage.
Depends on how the witch's magic conveyance affects the Griff's attack.
@TitaniumLegman have you noticed any major differences in quality between the Switch and PS5 versions of the game?
Where can I find the hallowed blade???
It's from the first treasure map, iirc
Based Tom is a gyaru enjoyer just like me frfr
For your setup with the gryphon knight, why do you have 2 moves for high swing. Why not have the two conditions on 1 single High swing?
Having both conditions would combine them into 1. By separating them into two separate attacks, the unit would check the first conditions for the first attack, then if they don't see the target for that, go to the second. That's what I want.
Having both conditions in one row would be:
IF X AND Y, THEN USE SKILL
Separating them into two different rows makes it:
IF X OR Y, THEN USE SKILL
Awesome thanks guys. So it's an AND OR type scenario. Imma need to experiment more on this. The fact that builds will include ai templates just adds a whole new dimension to strategizing
@@TitaniumLegmanbtw this is on expert right?
@@lildragon0 I don't know that that's exactly correct tho. The devs themselves described it as a priority list: check the first, if not full filled, check the second, until AP and PP are expended.
I don't see the need to put Bernice in a glass cannon loadout, she can carry most squads because as far as I know she's the only one in the demo with an attack with 150 physical potency (Heavy Swing). She also gets an attack at level 10 called Killing Chain that gives +1 AP if she kills the unit. You might as well put the Pursuers Bracelet and the Lapis Pendent on her to turn her into a human blender.
You're almost right. The idea is that, once she hits 10 and gets Killing Chain, she'll synergize with the Knights who do the same thing. At that point, she presents another chance for the chain to start beyond just weakening enemies to set up for the Knights. Also, Pursuit is its own attack with its own damage; it doesn't use her Heavy Swing damage, so beyond her own natural strength it's no better on her than anyone else. In fact, it would take PP away from her more powerful Following Slash. Pursuit only has a power of 75, whereas Following Slash has 100.
You are misunderstanding the tactics system, some of your tactics wont ever go that far down
Already corrected, will be addressed in tomorrow's video.
Yeah it goes to the top one if met constantly.
5:30 pretty sure what you want is row with 2+ combatants. Also recommend prioritize cavalry in condition 2
Why? Row with most combatants will always target the most combatants, whether that be 2 or 3. Also, this isn't a unit that's meant to kill Cavs, so I'm not worried about that condition.
@@TitaniumLegmangryphon knight are the only anti cav units we seen in the game so far, also if both enemy row have only 1 unit in them the most enemy condition is still meet, so your second attack gambit is useless. Not at my switch though so can't confirm.
I don’t want to be impertinent but, well… Frankly, I kind of see Josef and Clive together as being a bit, I dunno, basic? I mean I get the overwhelming power thing, but… seems a little unvaried I guess? O.o
Keep in mind, I’m also one who thinks putting Chloe and/or Lex with Alain is interesting, so I’m no real expert with an unbiased eye. Certainly not as objectively-sighted as you, oh great Legman of Titanium. ;-)
More seriously, for all the odd limitations on certain stuff that we’re all a bit bummed out by (the gender-specific classes is giving me FE Fates->Houses flashbacks…) there’s an absurd degree of versatility to this game, which I can’t help feeling will give it longevity possibly beyond what VanillaWare OR Atlus might be anticipating. We can only hope so, as this is one surefire way to leave your mark successfully on the gaming community.
Berenice is the best character (v´s cyberpunk vibe)
They all have multiples of the same skill? Why abd how?
You can set as many of the same skill as you have slots for. As for why, so you can set different conditions for different combat scenarios.
@@TitaniumLegman ahhhh. I see it now. I never knew that. Now yoy can set priorities levels for a single skill. I should play the demo again for the 6th time to look into that. Lol
pp steal attack haha
This could have been an amazing game. For me, the auto battles kinda ruin it.
