Unicorn OverlordThe Mercenary’s Trial quest is notable for two primary reasons.
For starters, it is where you unlock the hard-hitting Sellsword class.
After defeating the first big boss of Unicorn Overlord, you’re presented with a tricky choice.
This guide will tell you everything you oughta know about this battle.
The key to beating the Sellswords is to be keenly aware of their low initiative stat.
Their initiative is the reason they will almost always go last.
Additionally, the Sellswords are all fairly vulnerable, and have a poor evasion stat.
They are all-in on power.
Which leads us to our teams… Set both your Gryphon knight and your Gladitor to attack the row with the most characters in it.
Boss Build
Berenice is just a beefed-up Sellsword.
She has also paired herself with anotherSellswordand aThief.So, the nature of the beast is getting past that thief.
These three units are all you will need to complete this stage in short order.
Naturally, you will want to equip them with the best gear you have available.
Though your main focus should be on Travis and Chloe.
Theymayneed a little backup from the Row Clearers.
Now, send the Column Clearers to theWatchtowerto slaughter the Clerics.
Finally, send them to the Bridgeand take care of the three Sellswords.
Depending on how you have equipped your squad, you this could take two turns.
After the bridge, send the Row Clearers north to claim the Roaster Nuts.
Once you get close to Berenice, she will summon an additional squadron of Sellswords.
Once you finish them off, confront Berenice.
Sheshouldgo down in a single round if you assembled the unit as we instructed.
Worst case scenario, you should have her in two.
You will be rewarded with aBrown Beret,Baroque Sword, and aFree Mining Passfor defeating Berenice.
Just head south and you will be able to cash in!
