Laguz ranks

Playable Laguz within Exalted have a level progression that affects their maximum stats, weapon rank and avaliable skills.

Once a Laguz reaches level 15, they will obtain a rank, granting them additional HP and increasing their maximum stats.

Laguz will gain an additional rank at level 23 and level 30. They'll also obtain a powerful skill at either of these ranks as well.

Keep in mind that a Laguz unit will only gain a rank the first time you leave the base for the current map, or after they've been deployed.

This can allow you to utilize bonus experience to increase lower stats, or take advantage of bonus skill capacity after returning to the base.

Upon reaching higher ranks, Laguz units will earn considerably less EXP when defeating Beorc, especially during Hard or Maddening mode.

However, they do not have an EXP penalty when fighting other Laguz units at a similar level.

It is therefore recommend to fight enemy Laguz with your own, earning them kills to increase their level further and obtain a higher rank.

Upon reaching rank 1 (level 15), Volug will no longer have forced Halfshift. He'll also automatically rank up after part 1, even if his level is below 15.

Some units, such as Aran, Jill and Muarim, have personal skills that will improve each time they promote or gain a Laguz rank. Be sure to check personals in case this happens.
