PlayingUnicorn Overlordinvolves a lot of journeying across the land to find new regions to claim in the name of the Liberation. Marching eastwards from Fort Maintenaut will lead you to an encounter with an angel, who introduces herself as Lady Ochlys of the Orthodoxy’s Heavenswing Knights.
Helping Lady Ochlys oust Mandrin and his bandits from Rondmort Church is the main goal of The Winged Knight, and is a key step in unlocking the Divine Shard shop, which allows you to trade the common goodies for some fantastic items and pieces of equipment.

You’ll have Ochlys and her allies in a temporary formation under your control for this fight. In addition to Ochlys herself, who is a speedy Feathersword, she’s backed up by aFighter and a Soldier.
This battle’s teachable moment concerns flying units and how best to use them. This is in the form oftowers manned by Archers, which are prime targets for Ochlys’s formation. We’ll use her to defeat those with ease, making it easier and safer for your army to get through to the church.
A key unit in this battle will beChloe with an Unwavering Spear. You can purchase this weapon fromOuvrir Harbor, which is to the north. The Unwavering Spear unlocks theTrue Thrustability, which always hits no matter the target’s evasion —this will help massively against theThieveson this map.
Clive
Chloe
Give Chloe the Unwavering Spearand make herprioritize Scouts and Full Columns. Give Clive theDancer’s Braceletand have him only target the Back Row with Powerful Call.
Make sure Alain or Chloe are the leaders—you want all six Stamina.

With this formation and Ochlys’s help, you should be able tocomplete the stage with no extra help. You can bring other units along, but there’s no need to be specific about their uses.
There is, however, a sneaky ambush that occurs halfway through the battle. We recommend the following formation to deal with it:
Back Row
Rolf
Lex is here for his Provoke skill, which will stop the Thieves from escaping after they steal your money. Rolf can one-shot Thieves with accuracy, and Josef has enough AP to waste the Thieves' Evade uses.

How To Complete The Winged Knight
This battle has a pretty easy-to-follow flow. The gist of it is as follows:
To begin,send Ochlys up to the first tower on the leftof the battlefield. Use the Relay Point mechanic to make her acquire the first item (aHealing Tonic (S)) along the way.
DeployChloe’s unit and bring her to the edge of the Archer tower’s range. Two sets of Thieves will come to attack Chloe’s unit and should be very easy to deal with.
Once the first tower is dealt with,send Ochlys over to the second, using a Relay Point to grab theEmpowering Draughtalong the way. As Ochlys makes her way to the second tower,send Chloe up the road.
Once Ochlys has dispatched the tower Archers, use Chloe to defeat the Spearbearer and Swordbearer units andclaim Fort Chandelis, recovering some Stamina.
You’ll suffer anambush to the south nowof two Thief units.Deploy your Thief Killer formationand send them to the east to meet them head-on. They’ll usePlunderon the unit to steal some of your hard-earned War Funds - useLex’s Provoketo stop them from getting away.
Once this unit has defeated both sets of Thieves, use them to snatch up the3,000G War Fundsnearby.
With the centre of the battlefield dealt with, it’s time to move into the endgame. There’s aunit of Archers and a Housecarl hidden in the forestnear the bridge - send Ochlys in there to kill them if you have the time (or just use Chloe’s unit), and then send her to defeat the final Archer tower in the east.
Once the forest ambushers are dealt with,command Chloe’s unit to take on the unit stationed on the bridge and then the boss at the church.
Use Relay Points to command Ochlys to target the tower so that she doesn’t inadvertently attack the unit on the bridge.
After defeating Mandrin, you’ll get his shinyFlame Bow, a very good weapon for high-initiative Archers.
Should You Execute Mandrin And Recruit Sharon?
The end of this battle provides you with two choices: whether or not toexecute Mandrinafter hearing his sob story, and whether or not yourecruit Sharon, a Cleric.
We’re not quite sure what letting Mandrin live does just yet, but we do know that executing him will reward you with15 Divine Shards, which is a nice haul.
Accepting Sharon into your ranks will net you aunique Cleric for free, which is already a nice boon, but also acharacter linked to a side quest- if you don’t recruit Sharon, you may’t do her side quest. Rejecting her offer, on the other hand, will net you aHallowed Mace, which is a decent piece of equipment.
