Players can increase the efficacy of theirUnicorn Overlordcharactersin several ways. One of those ways is to turn characters into advanced classes through promotion, and doing so will improve the units to which those characters are assigned significantly. That said, some players may want more information aboutUnicorn Overlord’s promotion mechanic before they engage with it, and that is exactly what can be found in this guide.
Unicorn Overlord: How to Promote
Players can begin promoting their recruits as soon as they initiate theBetter Than Ever overworld questand reachRenown Rank B. For full clarity, that quest is given by a marked NPC that appears just after competing The Resistance Lives On, the first quest inUnicorn Overlord’s Elheim, and Renown Rank B is granted upon reach 1,750 points.
Players who are looking to expedite the process of reaching Renown Rank B should focus on quickly completing Auxiliary Stages, and setting the game’s difficulty to Story is recommended when farming those stages.
After fans have fulfilled those two prerequisites, they can simply select the “Promote” option atany fortand perform the transformation on their desired recruits. This process is not free, though, and players should expect to spend between 25 and 50 Honors every time that they promote a character.
Unicorn Overlord: When to Promote
Promotion provides many benefits, including stat increases, new skills, additional AP and PP, and more gear slots. Players are thus advised to start promoting some of theirUnicorn Overlordcharactersas soon as they gain access to the feature, as doing so will really improve the quality of their units.
That said, it is recommended that fansonly promote a few recruitsupon reaching Renown Rank B, as it is wise to have a stockpile ofHonors inUnicorn Overlordavailable when Renown Rank A is achieved. This is due to the fact that players will gain the ability to increase the maximum size of their units from four to five at Renown Rank A, at a cost of 200 Honors per expansion, and granting that additional slot to a few units is definitely more impactful than promoting every character.
While players should feel free to use their preliminary promotions to upgrade their favorite classes, it is strongly recommended that one go to Alain. Indeed,Unicorn Overlord’s Lord classgets a major benefit, a mount, when promoted to High Lord, and players are sure to appreciate the added mobility that it provides.
