Infantry

Explore Unicorn Overlord's Infantry classes: Berserker, Breaker, Landsknecht, and Sergeant. Learn their skills, strengths, and weaknesses.

Berserker

Characters: Bruno

Valor Skill: Toughness - Negate stamina loss at the end of battle and knock back enemy regardless of loss.

Opinion: Berserkers are a very tough front line unit. The Bulk Up skill and sky high HP make them very hard to take down, but if they’re hit too hard before they can heal back up they’re in trouble. They are also good damage dealers with Grand Smash and Wide Counter. If you can keep their health topped up, their attacks hit even harder, even if accuracy tends to be a problem.

Skills:

• Wide Smash (Level 1): 150 Phys, 1 Hit, 80% Acc, 1 AP, Row targeting. +50 Potency if user has 100% HP.
• Mounting Charge (Level 20): 1 AP, Self targeting. Restore 30% Health and grant +30% Physical Attack.
• Grand Smash (Level 30): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 80% Acc, 2 AP, All Enemies targeting. +50% Potency if user has 100% HP.
• Bulk Up (Level 1): 1 PP, Self targeting. Recover 40% HP after being hit.
• Wide Counter (Level 15): 100, 1 Hit, 75% Acc, 1 AP, Row targeting. Counterattacks a row of enemies when hit.
• Berserk (Level 25): 1 PP, Self targeting. Consume all PP to gain 1 AP and survive one fatal blow.

Breaker

Characters: Mordon, Nina, Kitra [Postgame - Mille]

Valor Skill: Heavy Swing - Damage all enemy units within range (also clears barricades and traps).

Opinion: As you can tell from the skills, this class is a dedicated anti-armor specialist. Breakers do insane physical damage and can crack open armored foes easily. Breakers also have some of the highest Physical Attack scores out there, so even basic infantry will be crushed by their mighty hammers. The main downsides of breakers is that their accuracy growths are only mediocre, so more nimble units tend to run circles around them. Breaker’s Valor skill also becomes increasingly important as the maps begin to feature more and more mines, traps and barricades.

Skills:

• Heavy Smash (Level 1): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 AP, Single targeting. Ignores 100% Defense of Armored targets.
• Assaulting Blow (Level 10): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 AP, Single targeting. Grants user 1 AP if target is defeated.
• Row Smash (Level 30): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 2 AP, Row targeting. Ignores 100% Defense vs. Armored targets.
• Binding Guard (Level 1): 1 PP, Single targeting. Users next attack inflicts Guard Seal.
• Enrage (Level 20): 1 PP, Self targeting. After an ally is hit by attack, it grants the user +20% Attack and +20 Accuracy.
• Heavy Counter (Level 25): 150 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 PP, Single targeting. Counterattacks a single enemy, Ignores 100% Defense of Armored targets.

Landsknecht

Characters: Bernice, Magellan, Jeremy

Valor Skill: Summon Warriors - Summons a unit of allied mercenaries (Limit 3). Summon Archers - Summons a unit of allied archers (Limit 3).

Opinion: Landsknects are a fantastic physical damage class. Killing chain knocks off weakened targets and lets you keep attacking. My favorite skill is Following Slash, letting you continuously attack foes who dare to threaten your allies. Landsknechts make fantastic partners for Legionnaires, since any attacks that the Legionnaire blocks will trigger Following Slash which can also weaken foes enough for Killing Chain to take them out. Also the Valor skills let you summon extra units appropriate to the map level (not your character level), allowing you to challenge higher level maps way before you would normally be able to.

Skills:

• Heavy Slash (Level 1): 150 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 AP, Single targeting.
• Killing Chain (Level 10): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 AP, Single targeting. Grants a user 1 AP if this attack defeats the target.
• Bastard’s Cross (Level 20): 70 Phys, 2 Hits, 100% Acc, 2 AP, Single targeting. Potency increases based on target’s HP (+50 maximum increase).
• Following Slash (Level 1): 75 Phys, 1 Hit, 90% Acc, 1 PP, Single targeting. Counterattacks after an attack hits an ally, grants 1 PP if attack hits.
• Vengeful Guard (Level 25): 1 PP, Self targeting. Block an attack with medium guard, Grants the user +20% Phys Attack.
• Bull Force (Level 30): 2 PP, Self targeting. Gain 1 AP, +20% Phys Attack, and +20 Initiative after using a skill.

Sergeant

Characters: Chloe [Postgame - Gailey]

Valor Skill: Life Aid - Revive all incapacitate combatants of all allied units in range (leaves with 1 HP).

Opinion: Admittedly this is a class that I have never been able to get to work quite right. On paper, the Sergeant is a fantastic generalist, doing a lot of things well but not fantastically. It is good against Cavalry and Flying units and grants you a heal at the end of combat. In the beginning it is a great partner to Berserkers, but its utility falls off as the game progresses.

Skills:

• Long Thrust (Level 1): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 AP, Column targeting. Cavalry targets cannot guard against this attack. +50 potency vs. Cavalry.
• Javelin (Level 10): 100 Phys, 1 Hit, 100% Acc, 1 AP, Single targeting. Ranged attack.
