How to Promote Classes

How to Promote Classes
Reach Renown Rank B. Spend Honors at a Fort.

Reach Renown Rank B

Unlike other tactical RPGs, you don't have to reach a certain level in order to promote your characters to advanced classes.

In Unicorn Overlord, all you need to do is to reach Renown Rank B in order for you to have access to class promotions.

Once you have reached this rank, Josef will tell you that you can now promote your characters to advanced classes by selecting “Promote” at any fort.

Spend Honors at Forts

Now that you have reached Renown Rank B, head to any fort you have liberated and select “Promote” from the menu.

From there, you can select which characters you want to promote and see how many honors you would need to promote them. Note that the number of honors you need to spend for each class promotion varies.

Honors can be obtained by completing battle stages, making deliveries, defeating wandering enemies, and more! Make sure to play more of the game to get more honors so you can promote your soldiers right away!

When to Promote Units to Advanced Classes?

As Soon As You Can

We recommend promoting your units to advanced classes as soon as you can to give them access to better skills and make them have better stats. They even get extra AP and PP once they've been promoted, so they'll do better in the battlefield.

There is no downside to promoting them early on, so try to promote your units as soon as you can.

Which Characters to Promote First

Alain

We recommend promoting Alain to High Lord first. Doing so will let Alain ride on a horseback, thus giving him better movement speed.

Hodrick

What's better than Hoplite Hodrick? A Legionnaire Hodrick with even tougher defenses. Promoting Hodrick lets you have a reliable frontliner that doesn't shy away from mere physical attacks.

Just don't pit him against enemies that use magic attacks and he'll survive for a long time in the battlefield!
