Unicorn Overlord: Best Classes To Promote First

gameranx.com:

Promoting your troops in Unicorn Overlord is one of the most impactful things you can do in the mid-game. It’s so powerful that you should stop trying to make new units and focus on powering up your army the moment the feature is unlocked. This naturally leads to the question: “Who do I promote first?”. 

With over 60 different classes to choose from, it can be more than a little bit overwhelming. Thankfully, there are some key classes you should focus on first before sweeping through everyone else. In this guide, we will give you our top recommendations for promotion in Unicorn Overlord. 

Prince Alain is one of the most powerful characters in the game – easily dwarfing other ‘sword and board’ classes. His ability to heal, body block, buff, and land kills elevates him to the top of just about any tier list – especially in the early game. Heck, the lad even has access to anti-cavalry tech. He can do just about everything, and do it better than most. 

Naturally, promoting Alain is an excellent idea as he becomes even more powerful. The real draw here isn’t his raw power skyrocketing – it’s the fact that he changes from a foot-based unit to a horse-mounted one. This makes him significantly faster on the battlefield. It also makes exploring the overworld faster as he retains his horse when travelling. 

Shamans are in the running for our favourite class in Unicorn Overlord. The reason is simple – their debuffs are outstanding throughout the game. They can debuff entire units if they have to, and they do it using Active and Passive Points. Throw on some AP/PP Pendants, and they go to the moon.

But what if you promote your Shaman to a Druid? Well, you gain even more powerful debuffs that target different stats. Now your Shaman can sap the effectiveness of any unit in the game. Oh and remember, promotion grants +1 AA and PP, making them even better. 

Hoplites are a decent class in Unicorn Overlord. They have a staggering amount of physical resistance, they can jump in front
