How to level up units in Last Train Home?
Your units level up when they accumulate a certain amount of EXP for their combat role. What this means is that when your unit has different combat roles, they can level up for each combat role up to a maximum of five times. Every level up gives you a role point, to unlock new roles, or a stat point, which you can invest in the following stats:
- FIT
- DEX
- INT
- WILL
- CHAR
You can upgrade each of these stats to a maximum of 10. So, if you're looking to quickly gather XP for combat roles, here are the three primary methods to do it.
Complete Missions
The most straightforward method to gather XP is by completing missions. As you make your way East, you'll have to send squads into dangerous enemy camps and outposts for combat and to secure certain objectives. This puts them at risk of death, but it's also the most effective way of ensuring that each unit gets a significant amount of XP by the end of the mission. Completing side objectives during missions will also net you a lot of extra XP.
Promote Units
Promoting units is also a great method of getting XP. You can promote units by awarding them medals at the end of missions, and each medal gives them a level up for their active role. You get a few medals at the end of missions depending on how many side objectives you clear. While you're not getting XP directly, you're essentially levelling them up.
Go to Point of Interests
Lastly, the quickest way to gather XP outside of combat is to send out your squads to points of interest. Points of interest that involve foraging, fishing or gathering are good sources of combat XP. They can be incredibly efficient for XP as they hold the least amount of risk, and you can pair units with positive traits for a point of interest for bonus XP. XP is generally only awarded to the most efficient unit in the squad, so keep that in mind.
