Ultimate Jeremy Build Guide

Jeremy stands out as a dynamic infantry unit in Unicorn Overlord, excelling in high-damage output and tactical flexibility. His sellsword roots make him a prime candidate for aggressive playstyles, particularly when leveraging chain attacks and counter mechanics. This guide dives deep into transforming Jeremy into a battlefield powerhouse, covering everything from initial recruitment to advanced loadouts and team integrations. Whether you’re tackling tough quests or optimizing for endgame challenges, these strategies will maximize his contributions.

Bringing Jeremy into Your Ranks

Acquiring Jeremy is straightforward once you progress through key story elements. He becomes available following the completion of The Battle for Adopti quest, a pivotal mission that opens up new recruitment opportunities. Head to the designated area post-quest, and engage in the interaction to add him to your roster. This timing aligns well with mid-game expansion, allowing you to integrate him into squads needing frontline aggression.

Jeremy’s base profile reveals strong physical attack potential (rated S) alongside solid AP and PP pools. However, his accuracy (E) and magical defenses (D/F) highlight areas for gear and skill compensation. His leader effect, Greater Garrison, accelerates HP and stamina recovery for garrisoned allies, making him invaluable in prolonged engagements.

Class Evolution and Growth Path

Starting as a Sellsword, Jeremy thrives on physical prowess with access to counterattack skills. Promote him strategically to amplify his offensive capabilities. Key growth types—Offensive and Go-Getter—boost his damage scaling and initiative, ensuring he strikes first and hard.

Promotion paths should focus on classes that enhance multi-hit potential and AP refunds, turning him into a killing machine.

Skill Selection for Peak Performance

Jeremy’s skillset emphasizes chaining attacks, refunds, and counters. Prioritize actives that refund resources on kills to sustain pressure.

• Killing Chain (Level 10, Active): Core skill—targets low-HP foes, refunds 1 AP on defeat. Set condition to ‘Target HP < 50%’ for reliable procs in chaotic battles.
• Heavy Slash (Active): High-damage single-target strike. Pair with ‘Lowest Evasion’ condition to offset accuracy woes, landing devastating blows.
• Following Slash (Passive): Automatic counter on ally-targeted attacks, granting +1 PP per hit. No condition needed; always active for opportunistic damage.
• Summon Warriors (Valor): Calls mercenary allies (limit 3), bolstering squad numbers temporarily. Use for overwhelming outnumbered foes.

Full skill learn list:

Loadout tip: Slot Killing Chain first, Heavy Slash second, Following Slash third. This setup ensures AP cycling and consistent output.

Weapon and Accessory Recommendations

Gear choices counter Jeremy’s weaknesses while amplifying strengths. Focus on accuracy, crits, and evasion.

• Weapons:
  • Heavenswing Sword: +10 Evasion and Accuracy—essential for hitting reliably.
• Accessories:
  • Mercenary’s Eyepatch: +20% Critical Rate—boosts kill potential.
  • Warrior’s Medallion: +10% Crit Rate, +2/+10% Phys ATK—powers up slashes.

Alternatives like Precise Sword variants can further mitigate accuracy, but Heavenswing offers balanced utility. Stack crit accessories for chain finishes.

Squad Synergies and Formations

Jeremy shines in aggressive infantry-heavy squads. Position him mid/frontline to trigger counters and chains.

High-Mobility Damage Squad

Pair with fast units for rapid engagements:

• Front: Fran/Hilda (tanks).
• Mid: Jeremy (chainer).
• Support: Aubin (buffers), Colm (ranged), Primm (heals).

This counters cavalry effectively, with Jeremy cleaning low-HP stragglers.

AP Sustain Legion

Integrate with Legionnaires using Killing Chain:

• Jeremy + L-Snacks (AP refreshers).
• Accessories: Salamander Ring/Detox Amulet for DoT resistance.

Ensures endless Heavy Slashes on weakened targets.

Tank-Supported Burst

Alain tanks, Jeremy bursts:

• Yahna (speed/debuffs), healers for sustain.

Advanced Tactics and Playstyle

Exploit Jeremy’s Go-Getter growth for initiative. In battles, bait attacks to proc Following Slash, then chain with Killing/Heavy. Against bosses, Summon Warriors to divide aggro. Watch AP—refunds keep him active longer than most.

Common pitfalls: Over-relying on low-accuracy hits without gear; mitigate with conditions. In defensive scenarios, garrison for recovery bonuses.

Promotion and Long-Term Investment

Push for promotions unlocking multi-target skills. Invest PP in crit passives. By endgame, Jeremy rivals top DPS units.
