Promotion Paths and When to Promote
Promotion timing matters. Promoting too early can lock in suboptimal growths; too late and you miss out on class skills and equipment. General rules:
Promote when your unit has reached a plateau in growth for their current class or when they need the class-exclusive skill to fulfill a role.
For fragile glass cannons, delay promotion until you have high Skill/Speed to ensure survivability.
For tanks, earlier promotion can grant access to heavier weapons and defensive skills that immediately improve battlefield presence.
Equipment and Relic Recommendations
Relics and class-exclusive weapons often define a Divine Class’s identity. Prioritize:
Weapons that scale with the unit’s highest stat.
Items that shore up weaknesses (e.g., Resistance-boosting relics for physical tanks).
Consumables that restore MP or HP for sustained operations.
Team Composition Tips
A balanced team maximizes Divine Classes:
Pair Divine Tanks with Divine Mages and Clerics to create a durable core.
Use Assassins and Myrmidons to eliminate high-value targets.
Keep Archers and Cavaliers for map control and objective play.
Include at least one Tactician or Cleric for buffs and sustain.
Advanced Tactics
Stat stacking: Use items and skills that convert one stat into another (e.g., Speed to Strength) to create hybrid powerhouses.
Bait and punish: Use high-defense units to bait attacks, then counter with high-damage follow-ups from Myrmidons or Assassins.
Terrain exploitation: Place Knights and Paladins on chokepoints; use Archers on high ground for accuracy bonuses.
Skill combos: Chain cooldown reduction skills with high-impact spells to create repeated nukes across turns.

When to Reroll or Respec
If a unit’s growths are misaligned with your intended role, consider respec options:
Use respec items to shift growths toward desired stats.
Reroll early in the campaign if a unit’s base stats are too far off the target.
For late-game, prefer respec only if the unit is crucial to your strategy.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
Units die too fast: Increase Defense/HP via equipment or move them behind a Knight. Use Cleric cooldown reduction to keep heals frequent.
Magic nukes are ineffective: Check enemy Resistance and equip Magic-penetration relics or switch to elemental spells that exploit weaknesses.
Movement blocked by terrain: Use Cavaliers and Paladins to bypass rough terrain or equip movement-boosting items.
FAQ
What makes a class “Divine” Divine Classes are the highest tier classes with exclusive skills, superior equipment access, and stat ceilings that outpace standard classes.
