List of All Recruitable Characters

The General in Black Recommended Units

Recommended Unit Leaders
Unicorn Overlord - Fran Fran Unicorn Overlord - Clive Clive Unicorn Overlord - Miriam Miriam Unicorn Overlord - Josef Josef Unicorn Overlord - Monica Monica

Before doing this quest, it is recommended that you have all the recruitable characters from Cornia in your roster as this stage will be difficult without them. Also, make sure that you have expanded your units from 4 to 5 and 5 of your party's unit slots from 3 to 4. You can expand your units, and hire Mercenaries by spending Honor in Forts you own.

In The General in Black, you will have to prioritize mobility since the map is quite large and there is no boss in this stage. Each team is designed to have a Cavalry, a Healer, and a Defender. We recommend the Unit Leaders listed above. Click on the leader's name to see our recommended Unit Formation for that leader in this stage.

Fran's Unit

Fran's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Chloe Chloe
(Soldier)
Unicorn Overlord Fran Fran
(Gryphon Knight)
Unicorn Overlord Rolf Rolf
(Hunter)
- Unicorn Overlord Virginia Virginia
(Crusader)
-

Fran's Unit will be the one to defeat the Wyvern Knights since this team is composed of a Hunter and a Soldier who are both effective against flying enemies. Virginia can easily take the damage that is meant for anyone in the back row and receive minimal damage in their stead with her supreme Guard Rate. Virginia can also make use of her Vertical Edge which deals increased damage to flying enemies.

Having Fran as the leader will make use of her leader effect which ignores terrain when moving. She can travel in the woods without worry of slowing down.

Recruiting Fran

Fran is a recruitable character and will join the Liberation after successfully finishing the The Priestess, Abducted main quest.

Having Fran in this unit will make traversing easier, especially in terrains where normal Cavalry units will have low mobility.

The Priestess, Abducted Walkthrough

Clive's Unit

Clive's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Clive Clive
(Knight)
Unicorn Overlord Tatiana Tatiana
(Cleric)
Unicorn Overlord Mordon Mordon
(Warrior)
- Unicorn Overlord Hodrick Hodrick
(Hoplite)
-

Clive's Unit is built to cut through almost every class in this stage.

Mordon can easily cripple the Hoplites and destroy enemy Defense while Clive assures multiple damage using his Assaulting Lance. Tatiana will be the healer for this party, while Hodrick stays in the frontline making sure nobody gets hurt and takes the fall using his Heavy Guard.

Miriam's Unit

Miriam's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Ochlys Ochlys
(Feathersword)
Unicorn Overlord Melisandre Melisandre
(Swordfighter)
Unicorn Overlord Miriam Miriam
(Radiant Knight)
- Unicorn Overlord Bruno Bruno
(Gladiator)
-

Miriam's Unit is designed for pure offense and can deal with any enemy units in this stage.

Ochlys is a swift combatant that can deal great damage to the enemy and at the same time incur debuffs with her Spiral Sword and Shield Smite. Melisandre's attacks never fail to hit as all are truestrikes and critical. Miriam will be responsible for healing with her Row Heal and can also deal damage simultaneously. Bruno will be the team's protector with his extremely high HP and his healing ability, Bulk Up, not to mention clearing out entire enemy rows with his Wide Smash skill.

Monica's Unit

Monica's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Yahna Yahna
(Witch)
Unicorn Overlord Berenice Berenice
(Sellsword)
Unicorn Overlord Monica Monica
(Radiant Knight)
- Unicorn Overlord Travis Travis
(Thief)
-

Monica's Unit is an offensive force to deal with and a unit that can eliminate units with multiple members quite easily.

Berenice boasts continuous attacks thanks to her Killing Chain and Following Slash, while Yahna makes sure that Berenice's attacks deal more damage than usual with her Magick Conferral. Monica will be the healer for this team with her Row Heal and she can also inflict dangerous attacks on the enemies at the same time. Travis will ensure that nobody gets hurt as he takes on the frontline and Evade every single attack, except for hunters.

Recruiting Monica

Monica is a recruitable character and will join the Liberation if you choose the option for her to fight by your side after finishing the The Unyielding Shield side quest.

Having Monica in this stage will prove really useful, since she can provide healing, can get to garrisons easily with her mobility, and can deal high damage as well. Since the stage will prioritize mobility, it is recommended that you have enough Cavalries to lead each team, and recruiting Monica before this quest will be quite essential.

The Unyielding Shield Walkthrough

Josef's Unit

Josef's Unit
Unicorn Overlord Nina Nina
(Warrior)
Unicorn Overlord Sharon Sharon
(Cleric)
-
Unicorn Overlord Alain Alain
(Lord)
- Unicorn Overlord Josef Josef
(Paladin)

Josef's Unit has two defenders who are high damagers as well, making this team useful in battling any enemy unit.

Josef and Sharon are the healers for this party. Josef can attack multiple times with the use of his Pursuit passive skill, while Nina makes sure the enemies get defeated with her Heavy Smash skill, which ignores DEF and armor. Alain will be dealing damage as well with his Lean Edge. It is important that Alain is in a party since he will be having a conversation with Berengaria in which she will join the Liberation after successfully doing so.

The General in Black Walkthrough

# Step by Step Guide
1
Deal With the Wyvern Knights
Deploy Fran, Miriam, Clive, and Josef's Unit. At the beginning of the stage, you will be approached by two Gryphon Knight enemies. Be on standby while Fran's Unit deals with these enemies. After Fran successfully defeats the two Wyvern Knight units, have her collect the treasure nearby and get a Giant's Canopy.
2
Deploy Monica and Move
After filling up 1 Valor Point, deploy Monica's unit and have everyone on the move. Since the Wyvern Knights are ousted, have Fran go the path near the woods nearby, use her unit as Fran ignores terrain when moving. A treasure will be lying on the ground once you exit the woods, collect it, and receive a Silver Hourglass. Have Josef and Monica's Unit go toward Einsel Garrison, and Clive and Miriam's Unit toward the nearby enemy command post to the right.
3
Continue to the Next Garrison
After claiming their designated garrison, you will have to change your target to another nearby garrison. Have Josef and Monica head towards Einsel Church while Clive and Miriam go to the Watchtower near the enemy command post at the far right. Do not engage with the command post yet. After clearing out the watchtower, you can have them stand by.
4
Welcome Primm and Aramis
A cutscene will trigger once you are on the way to the enemy command post on the rightmost part of the map. Primm will be on the battlefield alongside you, once near her, she will be joining the Liberation and you will be able to control her unit. Have her collect the treasure near the mountains below her position and collect a Revival Orb (M). After this, her next destination will be to talk to Aramis, who is now at the command post. Have her talk to him so Aramis will also join the party. After Aramis joins you, the command post will automatically be taken over.
5
Welcome Berengaria
After the Aramis and Primm story event, Berengaria will appear from the enemy command post located on the bottom left area of the map. Since Josef's team has Alain as a member of the unit and is still in the church nearby, have his unit talk to Berengaria so she will join you in the battle. You do not have to change the party leader for Alain to talk to Berengaria, as long as Alain is in the party, the talk option is available.
6
Take Over the Last Garrison
Now that almost all garrisons have been taken over, the last garrison remains at the bottom left area of the map. Use Fran's unit to defeat these but make sure to destroy the Watchtower first to avoid Ranged Assist from the enemy. In the meantime, have both Berengaria and Josef's units on standby, defeating incoming enemies that will be deployed by the opposing command post while waiting for Fran's unit to finish the quest.
