How to Promote to Advanced Classes
Alain's Unit | ||
---|---|---|
- |
Scarlett (Priestess) |
- |
- |
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.
Alain's Unit | ||
---|---|---|
Rolf (Hunter) |
- |
Alain (Lord) |
- |
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.
