    Unicorn Overlord opens up after Rescuing Scarlett in Chapter 1. While the game recommends you go to Drakengard/Drakenhold or Elheim, they leave it up to you on where you should go first.
    Should you go to Drakenhold or Elheim first? Let's discuss the pros and cons of each and my personal recommendation.

    I went into both areas to see what level the stages were at. With Elheim being around level 15 and Drakenhold being around level 11, the devs are pointing to Drakenhold first. After recruiting the elf from entering Elheim, I went to Drakenhold.

      There is a lvl 13 trial in northern cornia you could probably use to grind up to lvl 15 to do elheim first. I would almost prefer to do SOME of elheim first because there are elven characters i want in my party.

      Yes totally in my playthrough i started with the dragon place and then I did the elf. The game is just too fun
      I think its the path the game kinda wants you to take, as the elf map skyrocket really hard in levels compared to the drake map
      My units composition is kinda busted now tho compared to the elf map its kinda insane.
      One comp I have a tons of fun with is a full cav with tons of knight running knight pursuit and knight call (the skill that boost knight dmg by 20%) to ramp up the damage boost to absurd degree
      Its not my strongest combat wise, but with a griffin speed boost you can speedrun map objective like crazy

    @GaretStrife 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    On my first run, I did it completely blind. I went Drakenhold, which felt the more natural route. Virginia may also have swayed me for story reasons, and I wasn't disappointed. And when I got Berengaria? Yeah, she wrecked things. I also went there on my second True Zenoiran run, and what swung it for me was earlier access to the Coliseum. The Elven characters can slot into many different party configurations, but the Coliseum rewards and prizes are too good.

    I went to drakenhold and boy did that gameplay catch me off guard there’s a skill check (depending on difficulty and playstyle this might not matter to you) but the unit I lost was a sudden blow to my army strength. But it made me reconsider some of my lineups so it made me better.

      You can get her at around level 23 if you lvl your renown to a put 2 thieves in front with 1 Druid and 2 aoe dmgdealers. Lil rng in first 2 hits if they are not dodged. After that the enemy will have no way to attack or defend. And you do not need to kill them in pvp only do more smog than them.

      No the levels for the enemies are fixed and won’t scale. Drakenhold is easier to start with cause it has a lower base level to fight against compared to Elheim.
      That being said I went to Elheim first not knowing it was the harder area but found and grinded off the Sigils there so when I finally beat Elheim and went to Drakenhold I bulldozed through it with little effort since it was a lower level area.

    I'm halfway through Elfheim after clearing drakenhold first and kinda regret not dipping into both routes. Most of my units are close to hitting 20 and so far elfheim is far too easy. Wish i would have flip flopped between the two routes as there is a level scaling issue. Plus could have gotten the half elf archer and rosalinde faster

    Genuinely, I thought the elf area was the next area because when that mysterious voice recommends you go to the two areas. I am almost positive if they recommended I go to the elven area first but I could be wrong but that's why I went that way. I was already level 15 or 16 by the time I got there, but that's because I pretty much cleared everything in the first area outside of the past getting past the level 40 enemies. Ah, but hopefully I didn't make the wrong choice. I've been blitzing through the elephant area very easily. I have not struggled on any mission so I'm assuming my team comps are pretty good, but I just realized I kind of want to redo them. I want an entire unit representative of every area that I visit. I see that's going to be a little hard with the elves because they feel like they all do a little bit of everything so I might just have to build around one or two of them

    You get rosalinde right as you start the elven side of things making getting her incredibly simple and quick. Also you unlock the quest to promote after the first battle on the elven side. Mind you this fight is pretty tough if you aren't leveled up, as i was rushing through only about 65% of the first area. Virginia is a couple of fights into drakenhold and is very good. The colosseum is about halfway through.
    Also you need renown rank B to promote which is pretty much all of cornia and about 65-70% completion of drakenhold.
