Lex Best Team Formations

Gladiator, Fighter, and Cleric Unit

Lex's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Sharon Sharon
(Cleric)
- Unicorn Overlord Lex Lex
(Fighter)
- Unicorn Overlord Bruno Bruno
(Gladiator)
-

This unit focuses more on Defense, with both Lex and Bruno acting as damage sponges, while Sharon heals them through both her Active and Passive Skills.

While this unit may seem focused on Defense and Sustain, it also can provide good offense depending on the enemy formation, especially since Bruno can deal high amounts of damage at full health, which can easily be met through Lex's shielding and Sharon's healing.

Cleric, Feathersword, and Fighter Unit

Lex's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Lex Lex
(Fighter)
- Unicorn Overlord Sharon Sharon
(Cleric)
- Unicorn Overlord Ochlys Ochlys
(Feathersword)
-

Ochyls is a powerhouse in the early game, but will struggle to fight against enemy Hunters with True Strike. Pair Lex with Ochlys to help her survive with Arrow Cover.

Finally, Sharon will sustain Ochyls and Lex through her active and passive skills.
