Rance (ランス)


Fighter Lv 5/∞

Since the beginning.

Unique skills:

Red - ランスアタック (Rance Attack), 罵詈雑言 (Verbal Abuse)

Blue - 逃げる (Flee)

White -

Recommend skill : Rance attack, Damage limit increase, Sword mastery

M item : cannot be Molulune

Build memo : Your starting fighter with an incredibly strong Rance attack and infinity level cap! Just increase his attack like madness, and do not forget to up the damage limit increase for him, that will make the most wonderful physical damage dealer that you can use through the last world. Sword is suitable for him, since you need dexterity, you will not want your Rance attack to be missed, right?

Sachiko Centers　(サチコ・センターズ)


Guard Lv 1/49

Since the beginning.

Recommend skill : Initial guard, Damage decrease, Recovery

M item : def, hp

Build memo : only guard with 10% hp recover when gain turn (5% before finishing quest 29). Her defense and recovery will be showing off if you put her in action with initial guard, since her speed is not quite fast enough to gain turn before some monsters. And do not forget to max the yellow skill, damage decrease and activate it in her activate skill.

Suzume (鈴女)


Ranger Lv 12/49

Available initially at the home screen. Does not require clearing the first dungeon.

Recommend skill : ghost form(after first molulune event), assassinate

M item : evade, speed

Build memo : the best assassin in the game! Other rangers need a lot of skill point in order to master in assassination but not Suzume. So just make her your assassin by master the assassination mastery and make the assassinate skill 5 or more times will be good. Do not bother make her a damage dealer because for that job, you have Kanami stand by for it. Moreover, she can be your good tanker because she has great evasion and after the first molulune event she will get another skill, ghost form, which make her take only 1/3 physical damage.

Alkanese Rize (アルカネーゼ・ライズ)


Fighter Lv 1/60

Complete quest number 60　「ライオンマインド」.

Crook Morphus (クルックー・モフス)


Healer Lv 20/50

Complete quest number 45　「公園散歩」.

Aegis Kalar (イージス・カラー)


Gunner Lv 1/50

Complete quest number 70　「カラーの森再び」.

Uesugi Kenshin (上杉 謙信)


Fighter Lv 1/70

Complete quest number 40　「八甲田山」.

Recommend skill : Bishamonten, sword mastery, pattern1 - cartwheel sword + damage limit increase + attack1-3, pattern2 - Row slash (train slash) + Fullpower slash + attack3

M item : atk, critical

Build memo : Kenshin is definitely the best sword user in this game. You can use her in two patterns. The first one is to make best use of cartwheel sword by upgrade the cartwheel sword damage limit which is only 800 per hit, this will make her one of the best boss killer. On the other hand, if you want to use her with Katsuko and Torako to run along the dungeon fighting various monsters, I recommend the Row slash, to kill all the front row monsters, and use Katsuko with spear to get rid of the df line. And Torako will take care of the little hp remaining monster in one shot with her blizzard. These three will make a supreme combo! Do not forget to plug in Bishamonten when you fight an important battle, this skill will recover all of Kenshin hp and buff atk and def for her.

Her requirement for being H is lower then other characters (level 30 instead of 35), so you can do it more often to make her even stronger.

Kouhime / Oda Kou (香姫/織田 香)


Guard Lv 25/40

Complete quest number 41　「香姫参加」.

Recommend skill : tactician mastery, Initial guard

M item : cannot be moluluned

Build memo : She is the best guard for boss battle! Because of her Dango and tactician mastery, she can take place of the poison attached in stead of other rangers or knife users and it is a 100% poisoned! Her tactician mastery is also considerable, in this game, atk and def buff is better than you think. But her demerits are her SLOW speed because of the Oda armor, you can took it off or use the initial guard instead. And also she cannot be Moluluned, so her level cap cannot be increased except you start a new world, so she is one of the best contestant for 10 level cap increase item (her lv cap is 40, so +10 will make 50 and it's perfect!)

Klein (クレイン)


Ranger Lv 15/38

Complete quest number 54　「クレインの隠れ家」.

She's not combat oriented, so she has plenty of spare points--you can specialize her in many fields. First, max her Escape Technology, which is vital for completing the dreadfully long Quest #77--Klein and Rance (who regains actions after each boss) alone can escape nine times together on this quest. And then the remaining are matters of preference.

If you choose so, teach her Stealth Move with Chest Opening. And perhaps even any treasure-related skills. She'll become a good item hunter then.

But you may also use her for supporting roles in combat. Klein has excellent stun rate, so Shurikens are excellent if you desire a long-range stunning attack. Or better yet, use her as an assassin. Assassination rate increases by 50% after casting Stealth (making Assassination Mastery unnecessary), so she's a great alternative to an assassination oriented Suzume. She's guaranteed to kill humanoids in two turns whereas Suzume has a 70% chance to kill on the first turn; pick your preference.

Lia Para-Para Leazas (リア・Ｐ・リーザス)


Civilian Lv 20/20

Complete quest number 63　「リーザスの怪談」.

Recommend Skill : Increase Charisma pt., Leazus no Kaminari (Leazus's Thunderstorm)

M item : HP

Build memo : The main use of Lia for everyone is nothing other than put her in the party in the last event of each quest, for earning x2 charisma point. If the last event is green, it will have no problem, but if it red, you have to make her survive and make good use of her. Therefore the Leazue no Kaminari will make her become useful. You can spend all of her skill pt. for this Leazus no Kaminari or other skill such as the chest one.

Alternate build: Increase her level to 35, then train up to 5 charges of her Thunderstorm skill, with the rest in increased physical attack. Equip her with the short sword that gives +5 speed (I think this is fixed chest drop from quest #72) and a +10 speed robe. You will now be able to use her for lightning fast levelling in quest #97 as she will kill every group you can encounter there in 1 hit with her thunderstorm (You may need to equip her with a bear statue to do this). Since the attack is physical, you will have no problems with the Hanis either. With the increased speed from items she will always attack before the enemies can, so you can level 3 low level characters at once, or 2 with Merim for her experience buff.

Magic the Gandhi (マジック・ガンジー)


Sorcerer Lv 1/69

Complete quest number 64　「マジックの見舞い」.

Recommend skill : Thunder mastery, Magic Barrier

M item : Magic Attack

Build memo : One of the three best sorceress and the most suitable thunder users. Just spam her thunder skills and with her Magic Barrier, the high level skill which charge is necessary will be no problem for her. The same as other sorceress, just take one Thunder mastery, you do not need to mastered it to 3 stars.

Aten Gnu (アテン・ヌー)


Sorcerer Lv 1/48

Complete quest number 90　「引きこもり魔女」.

Uesugi Katsuko (上杉 勝子)


Fighter Lv 15/35

Complete quest number 42　「勝虎街道マラソン」.

Recommend skill : With Torako, With Kenshin, Spear Mastery

M item : Atk, Critical

Build memo : The easiest level up fighter in this game, with With Torako skill, the exp gain will be doubled. And With Kenshin skill, Katsuko will have buff since the battle start and will always regenerate hp to full in the beginning of the battle. Therefore this three will party up together often, since Kenshin already learned sword mastery and Katsuko have no Genius Swordman skill, so hammer and sword are not recommended, Spear will be the most suitable, and it will make her able to stand in both at or def line.

Uesugi Torako (上杉 虎子)


Sorcerer Lv 15/35

Complete quest number 42　「勝虎街道マラソン」.

Recommend skill : With Katsuko, With Kenshin, Ice mastery

M item : Magic Atk

Build memo : Same as Katsuko, leveling up her is very easy, so you can M her many times. The best magic element for her is Ice, but be noted that Ice mastery level 1 is enough, since the difference from level 1 to 2 is only 5%, you can use that point for other skills. Ice shot, snow storm 3-5 times usable are considerable.

Kibako (キバ子)


Sparta Lv 1/45

Complete quest number 91　「イフォの暴れん坊」.

Recommend skill : Weakening punch, armor breaking punch, Elemental punch

M item : Atk, Evade, Speed, Critical

Build memo : The Sparta who join with a lot of passive skills since beginning, that make her Elemental punch very strong through the entire play through. armor breaking punch also considerable to be a one hit kill for a lot of monsters. And the most important skill is nothing other than her Weakening punch, it will be the skill to clear your way in the last two bosses, Full Kalar and Masuzoe.

Childie Sharp (チルディ・シャープ)


Fighter Lv 1/44

Complete quest number 50　「若き親衛隊戦士」.

Recommend skill : Pepsi!, Learner mastery, Hammer mastery

M item : Dexterity, Atk, Stun

One of the best fighter in this game because of her wonderful unique skills. Pepsi is the skill which make her able to attack two times, just imagine you attack two time with a fearsome hammer damage. And she also has Genius Swordman skill so that make her Atk and dexterity growth are good, so she will have no problem in using hammer, just make her your best Hammer users in stead of Alkanese (sorry for Alkaese fan clubs). and also the third exp bonus gainer cos of her Learner mastery skill with two stars(only lose to KatsoxTora combi). Do not forget to put Pepsi and Learner Mastery skills In her activate skill box!

Zima Bakasko (ジーマ・バカスコ)


Gunner Lv 1/48

Complete quest number 92　「呪われたプリンセス」.

Recommend skill : Fullpower shot, All shot, Jeema's unique passive skill

M item : Atk, Speed

Build memo : Jeema can be one of the most damage dealer among gunners in this game. Since she has her unique skill which make her start battle with +20% Atk damage while -50% def and stun(which are not need for gunner lol). And she has great speed also if you build her up correctly. Her turns will come often, you just need attack3, Fullpowershot, and all shot in the last, that will make her the most fearsome gunner in all your entire party.

Athena 2.0 (あてな2号)


Gunner Lv 1/1

Complete quest number 81　「奇跡の人工生命体」. (accessible after quest number 71　「魔人カイト」)

Build memo: Atena 2.0 is unique character, she is limited to level one and her max level limit can't be raised because her item and accessory slots are locked with Rance's gifts that she refuses to part with. But she has a number of yellow skills that allow her to raise some of her stats - HP, Hit Rate, Crit Rate, Attack, Speed. If a skill is equiped and battle ends with a character before her (to her left) who has higher stat, her own stat will be raised. This way she can gather max stats from all characters and become much stronger while still being only first level. She attracts attacks of enemies that target lowest level characters (this will help in a quest with guarding Nobel, but is often making her killed when she is opposing Zashikiwarashi). She only have three attacks, but her HP and attack uses are restored after each battle, so she is good for short skirmishes but not so good for prolonged fights. Theoretically she can learn a skill "Become human", that costs 9 skill points, but there is no known way to gain them, except maybe cheating (did anyone try this?).

Kaloria Cricket (カロリア・クリケット)


Guard Lv 10/42

Clear quest number 20　「ランス城完成」 and then repeat it. She pops up at the very end of the event the second time.

Arms Arc (アームズ・アーク)

Complete quest number 93　「ドラゴンスレイヤー」. Then do quest 16.

Onoha Mespos (オノハ・メスポス)


Civilian Lv 20/45

Complete quest number 94　「魔物女王」. Then do quest 16.

Kentou Kanami (見当 かなみ)


Ranger Lv 20/40

Complete quest number 58　「鈴女が成仏しない理由?」. (quest line 63　「リーザスの怪談?」 -> 50　「若き親衛隊戦士」 -> 56　「サトラレ忍者」 -> 57　「かなみの決意」　 and 30　「忍法不能治療」 -> 31　「抜け忍吹夜」 -> 32　「くのいちの寿命」)

Recommend skill : Suzume take control, Knife mastery, Poison

M item : Evade

Build memo : At long last, Kanami can show off in this Rance 8 as one of the best fighter(ranger) if you leveling up her along with Suzume. Skill Suzume take control will make Kanami absorb 25% of Suzume's atk, evade and dexterity when Suzume is not in your party. That make her a fearsome poisoned knife fighter. By attacking 1-3 times, using poisoned and a paralyzed slash, and with a shuriken, she will be a fighter that make your enemy feel very painful!

Biscuitta Berns (ビスケッタ・ベルンズ)


Sparta Lv 20/38

Require Patch 1.1. After you gain accessed to Rance Palace, do whatever event you want once and attempt to re-enter the palace, Biscuit will warn Rance about cockroaches in the palace. Go out and complete some other quest and quest number 136 will unlock. Complete quest number 36 and repeat the step of re-enter the palace once again, then go out and complete some other quest and quest number 137 will unlock. Complete quest number 137 which in turn will unlock quest number 138. Complete quest number 138 and she'll join your party.

Actually, after you Rance knows about the cockroaches in the palace, you do quest 13 and quest 136 will unlock. Then repeat (visit palace under cleaning, quest 13) and quest 137 unlocks, finish this and quest 138 will unlock. Once all of these are complete (or maybe even right after quest 137, before you make Biscuitta join), Rance's palace will be open all the time. Therefore, you won't have to complete a quest in between each visit anymore.

Noir (ノワール)


Fighter Lv 25/50

Activate a green star that is behind Yudain monster(he's in a red crystal at the entrance) in quest number 63　「リーザスの怪談」. The green star appears randomly. Redo the map if you don't see it.

Tips : Yuzuhara usually don't miss - you can take half of his hp with shot2. Then we have Kenshin with multiple stike skill (costs 8 skills to learn ) and finally archer classes usualy have 100% accuracy skill (4 skills to learn ). Another method would be to use Magic, as magic always hits. However, most magic will not do much damage, so you are racing against time if you rely on Magic. Physical damage does more, but easy to miss. There will still be more Yudain monsters from time to time, so its best to find your best way against it.

Rocky Bank (ロッキー・パンク)


Guard Lv 8/19

Quest number 17　「土壌汚染をなんとか」. Need to find a green crystal to get him to join. Much easier on a replay as you can zoom the map out. Level cap may be increased to 59.

Rizna Lanfebit (リズナ・ランフビット)


Fighter Lv 1/42

Complete quest number 135　「ハニー秘密基地」 with the only green star event triggered.

Masou Shizuka (魔想 志津香)


Sorcerer Lv 20/61

In quest number 121　「マルグリッド迷宮1層」, trigger the green star on square just before the square with the finishing green star. For the needed green star to appear, Rance must NOT be in the party.

Recommend skill : Fire Mastery, Light Mastery

M item : Magic Attack

Build memo : Definitely strongest and most useful magic users in this entire game. Start with 2 elements, fire and light, which both are very formidable in the late game. Same as building other sorceress, spam both her fire and light skills, and that will make her have a lot of actions and be able to clear monsters very quickly. Shizuka is very good in leveling up your new characters, put her with other four low lv character and use her fearsome magic to bombard the field.

Maria Custard (マリア・カスタード)


Gunner Lv 20/40

In quest number 125 「マルグリッド迷宮5層」, bring Rance and Masou Shizuka in party and activate a green star event in MAP03 area.

Alcott Marius (アールコート・マリウス)


Civilian Lv 1/43

Buy the Reddish Wing (赤っぽい羽) in the shop, pass time (do some quests), then do number 16　「酒場でスカウト」 when it's available.

Recommend skill : Advantage battle, Girl monsters users(learn by item), tactician mastery

M item : hp

The highest level cap civilian character. That make her the best contestant for girl monsters users. But the most unique skill of her is the skill that make you encounter the battle with an advantage(40%), you will gain free round to attack opponents first. and she also has a tactician ability! What a all around useful civilian. This character can be your main force in your party if you have touched her only once!

Atago McCart (アタゴ・マカット）


Civilian Lv 1/10

Complete quest number 84　「舞姫ローションの噂」. After that, collect lotion A, B, C (randomly drop from マルグリット迷宮 (Need Confirmation) Need not be from the maze, I got my lotion C from the quest to get Magic's medicine). Complete quest number 85　「舞姫ローションを作る」.

Build memo: One of the best civilian characters suited for lategame leveling. Only three characters have Handy skill (ハンデ), that raises aquired experience after battle by 20%. One is Merimu, but she has ultimate identify skill that removes chances for getting item upgrades with completing additional requirements on each map, and her item slot is permanently locked with healing item, so you can't make her a monster handler. Second character with Handy skill is Megu, but her unique skill that allows you to leave the battle is rather bad for leveling. On the other hand Atago has skill that can restore uses of skills of other characters, also her speed is rather bad, that means that she will rarely have moves in the battle, and you can keep those three charges quite a long time. So give her items that raise her max level to 35 (will need a lot of them), then level her to max level (don't forget to leave at least 18 skill points), give her a monster handling book and max monster handling skill. After that equip +300HP accessory (she does not need any other stat) and H her with Rance. Equip Toko-chan or Captain Vanilla and learn a skill that raises chances of finding good items in a chest. All other skillpoints can be spent on studying HP enforcement skill. If you find Miko clothes (that restore 25% of HP after battle) this will make her perfect for her task. Just put her into back row and enjoy 20% experience bonus with occasional 1200 damage from Captain Vanilla or 600 damage on front row from Toko-chan.

Characters Obtained by Completing Scrolls
It's okay to equip more than 2 scrolls at the same time. You only need to do some other quest for the 2nd character to show up at the bar.

Sel Catchgolf (セル・カーチゴルフ)


Healer Lv 1/44

From black scroll which is from a random dungeon chest, or from the green chest in Fl.1 of マルグリット迷宮 (The chest is already set place and not random), requirements to get her or others from the scroll kill a certain number of gal monsters anyone can kill them as long as the scroll is on someone in the party. The number appears on the scroll counts down as gal monsters are defeated. After the dungeon is finished a 016 quest shows up on quest tab. Defeat 5 Girl Monsters.

If you can't found the black scroll in Fl.1 of マルグリット迷宮 try to search it in the green chest at starting block in quest 31.

The easiest way to defeat many girl monsters is to do quest number 116. Fight '97Chihas'. Each time you find the right red mark, there will be 4 of them plus a 'Meatball'. You can defeat up to 5 things from red marks so you can get 20 girl monsters easy. You'll just need to memorise which red marks are Chihas and not Yankees.

Mile Yorks (ミル・ヨークス)


Sorcerer Lv 15/34

Scroll from a random dungeon chest, or from the green chest in Fl.3 of マルグリット迷宮 (The chest is already set place and not random). Everything else is the same besides number of Girl Monsters that you need to defeat. For Miru you need to defeat 20 while holding the scroll.

Karma Atlanger (カーマ・アトランジャ)


Ranger Lv 1/29

Scroll, that drops randomly from red chests in any dungeon(that is confirmed, I got it from a red chest in quest number 61　「チーターマインド」, and there are reports of it being found in a red chest on quest 26 or so). Defeat 10 Girl Monsters while holding it and then activate quest number 16　「酒場でスカウト」.

Shitomone Chappie (シトモネ・チャッピー)


Sorcerer Lv 1/30

Scroll, that drops randomly from red chests in any dungeon. Defeat 10 Girl Monsters. Confirmed

Wichita Skate (ウィチタ・スケート)


Fighter Lv 10/35

This scroll might be found in fixed locations like in above scrolls OR randomly dropped, because I'm pretty sure I found it in either a red mine fight or a chest in the 1st yankee quest. Defeat 10 Girl Monsters.

Found in quest number 40 red chest. Close to the end. Not sure if different people will find scrolls in different quests. The best thing to do is to level up the skill that a Ranger has that allows you to open red chests indefinitely without it exploding. Then explore everywhere in every quest possible for red chests and open all of them.

Elenoa Ran (エレノア・ラン)


Fighter Lv 15/30

Scroll from a random dungeon chest, or from the green chest in Fl.2 of マルグリット迷宮 (The chest is already set place and not random). After getting the scroll, equip it on a character, then go defeat 6 Girl Monsters. After that activate quest number 16　「酒場でスカウト」, and she'll join.
