This unit composition and guide is optimized for a low-level clear in Story Difficulty to level up this specific unit fast.

Higher level characters with better gear in higher difficulties may still use this strategy as a guide though results may vary.

How to Level Up Fast

Gryphon Knight

Character/Class Equipment Tactics
Unicorn Overlord Gryphon Knight Gryphon Knight
(Required)
Unicorn Overlord Axe Icon Black Iron Axe - High base Phys. ATK
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Warrior's Medallion - Increased damage output
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Crude Tasset - Grants a skill for more damage
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon High Swing - Row with 2+ Combatants
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon High Swing - Lowest HP
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon War Cry

A Gryphon Knight will be used to use the unit leader to swiftly reach the boss with the Hastened Call Valor Skill without fighting any other hostile units.

The Gryphon Knight will be our main AoE DPS in the unit with High Swing as its primary Active Skill.

Any Gryphon Knight can be used with this strategy; however, one with Phys. ATK, Crit. Rate, or Initiative Growths is recommended. Fort Mainteneaut, Fort Paradis, Fort Plaine, and the Walled City of Eucuit are all locations where you can hire Gryphon Knight Mercenaries.

Fran is a unique Gryphon Knight you recruit after completing The Priestess, Abducted Main Quest.

Sellsword

Character/Class Equipment Tactics
Unicorn Overlord Sellsword Sellsword
(Required)
Unicorn Overlord Sword Icon Kingsblade Cornix - Good overall weapon with Initiative boost
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Warrior's Medallion - Increased damage output
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Pursuant's Bracelet - Follow-damage to bypass naturally low Initiative
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon Killing Chain - Target HP is less than 50%
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon Heavy Slash - Lowest Phys. Def
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon Following Slash - Target HP is less than 50%
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon Pursuit

Sellswords are the best class to use versus against enemies that far out-level you. Their Valor Skill, Summon Warriors, summons an allied Sellsword unit that scales with the stage level, not the user. In Story difficulty, this unit usually hits the boss for 90% of their health, and that's when your unit comes in for the final hit.

Note that you will have to deal the final blow to the boss, or you won't gain the EXP for the kill. The Sellsword unit may occasionally kill the boss in one battle, and If they do and you need the EXP, you would have to restart the stage.

Our Sellsword will be the secondary DPS to kill off any remaining enemies with Pursuit or Killing Chain.

Any Sellsword can be used with this strategy; however, one with Phys. ATK, Crit. Rate, or Accuracy Growths is recommended. You can hire Sellsword Mercenaries in Fort Colmarre and the Walled City of Eucuit.

Berenice is a unique Sellsword you can recruit in The Mercenary's Trial Side Quest.

Cleric

Character/Class Equipment Tactics
Unicorn Overlord Cleric Cleric
(Recommended)
Unicorn Overlord Staff Icon Lyrical Wand - Active Heal for an additional AP
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Dove Plume - Initiative boost
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Angel Plume - Initiative boost for the back row
Unicorn Overlord - 2 AP Cost Icon Active Heal - Flying
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon Refresh - Backrow
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon Tailwind - Backrow

The Cleric is primarily used for the Lyrical Wand. It can provide another Active Point to our Gryphon Knight for another High Swing, effectively doubling its damage output. The Lyrical Wand can be purchased in the Walled City of Barbatimo, unlocked after completing The Battle for Barbatimo.

The Tailwind Passive Buff is also important as it almost guarantees the unit will outspeed the high-level enemies and will deal damage before the enemy can. The Cleric is also heavily recommended due to their Refresh Passive Skill, which can dispel any debuff the Back Row can suffer, such as Freeze and Initiative Down.

Another character and class may replace them if they can provide the Tailwind buff at the start of combat and deal a fair amount of damage to replace the additional AP lost from Lyrical Wand.

Any Cleric can be used with this strategy. However, one with Initiative Growths is recommended. Fort Chandelis, Fort Epine Morceaux, and the Walled Cities of Barbatimo and Eucuit are locations where you can hire Cleric Mercenaries.

Sharon and Tatiana are unique Clerics you can recruit early in The Winged Knight and The Tormented Helm Side Quests respectively.

Alain

Character/Class Equipment Tactics
Unicorn Overlord - Alain Alain
(Recommended)
Unicorn Overlord Sword Icon Viperfang - Good base damage with poison for armored foes
Unicorn Overlord Shield Icon Azure Crest Shield - +1 PP
Unicorn Overlord Accessory Rookie Egg - User gains +100% increased EXP
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon Poison Slash - Armored
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon Cavalry Slayer - Cavalry
Unicorn Overlord - 1 AP Cost Icon Poison Slash - Lowest HP
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon Luminous Cover - Caster
Unicorn Overlord - 1 PP Cost Icon Noble Guard - Own HP is less than 50%

Alain is arguably the most versatile character and can fit in most unit compositions. As this is a low-level cheese clear for leveling, it's recommended that he equip the Rookie Egg for bonus EXP.

Alain's primary role in the unit is to protect the Cleric from hits or debuffs so they can cast Refresh and Active Heal. Viperfang's Poison Slash damages armored classes, which our unit can struggle to damage to being Phys. Atk heavy.

If you plan on leveling other characters, you can still replace Alain with another character. You can replace him with an offensive/defensive hybrid character, an AP provider with White Cat-Ear Hood, or another offensive support while the Sellsword replaces the front-row role.

x1 Recommended
Decreases damage taken by the user's unit by 30%. Lasts for one battle.

This stage is pretty straightforward, and if done right, we would only need to use one Wind Faerie's Charm to prevent Magick Assists from killing our unit.

Note that a unit can only have three buffs at a time. It's best to have Royal Order, Wind Faerie Charm, and Defensive/Empowering Draught. Sometimes, you may use another Hallowed Corne Ash instead of Valorous Order for a damage boost, damage reduction, and First Strike, allowing our team to move first regardless of Initiative.

6 Unicorn Overlord - Deal the Final Blow to the Boss
Deal the Finishing Blow
Attack the boss with your unit after the Sellsword Unit damages the boss.

Use any necessary items to survive the battle, such as Wind Faerie Charms or Defensive Draughts. If you need more damage, use a Empowering Draught instead.

Note that a unit can only have three buffs at a time. It's best to have Royal Order, Wind Faerie Charm, and Defensive/Empowering Draught.

To clear The Battle for Soiree Calme, use the Gryphon Knight as the leader to have unobstructed movement, and with the Hastened Call Valor Skill, move east past the mountains and go straight to the boss.

Before completely flying through the mountain to the east, use a Beckoning Bell on the attacking Wyvern Knight unit to prevent it from capturing the Command Post. You will have enough time to set-up for the boss kill before the Beckoning Bell effect expires.

Once you get to the boss, use the remaining Valor Point to summon a Sellsword unit via the Sellsword's Valor Skill. This allied unit usually hits the boss for 90% of their HP in Story Difficulty.

Deal the final hit to the boss with items buffs to gain the EXP for the fight. But remember to use a Hallowed Corne Ash for more Valor Points to activate Royal Order for a 100% EXP bonus for the fight!
