Stat growth is different for every tactical RPG, like Final Fantasy Tactic’s class-based stat growth or Fire Emblem’s stat-chance growth. In this guide, I’ll discuss the best and most recommended Growth Types for each class in Unicorn Overlord, so you can maximize eachcharacter you recruitalong the way!

Best Growth Type for every Class in Unicorn Overlord

Unicorn Overlord implemented a very unique and clever way of this mechanic through Growth Type.

Stat Growth works differently in Unicorn Overlord. Once you check your character’s details, you’ll see a bunch ofletters beside your stats(refer to the image above). Each stat isranked from E to S, E having thelowest stat growthand S having themost stat growthwhile leveling up.

Above the Stats, you’ll also see theGrowth Type, which affects stats in a way where you’re able to effectivelynegate ranked E statsordouble-down on a character’s stat affinity(Rank S Stat Growth).
