Alain Best Team Formations

Lord and Priestess Unit

Alain's Unit
- Unicorn Overlord Scarlett Scarlett
(Priestess)
-
- Unicorn Overlord Alain Alain
(Lord)
-

This basic unit formation will be the one available during the Unicorn Ring mission, but works well due to how Alain and Scarlett synergize with each other.

Alain serves functions both as a Tank and Damage Dealer, while Scarlett provides support through Heals and Magick Damage.

Thief Frontline Unit

Alain's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Rolf Rolf
(Hunter)
- Unicorn Overlord Alain Alain
(Lord)
- Unicorn Overlord Travis Travis
(Thief)
-

A good early game formation, which does not rely on healing entirely due to Travis' Evasion.

Rolf provides additional damage in this unit, making it effective even against enemy formations with Flying Units, which both Travis and Alain normally struggle against.
