Sengoku Rance:Character clears

This article is designed to give guides for how to clear commanders.

For information on how to recruit a commander, see Walkthrough.

For information on what stats and Skills the commander has when encountered or recruited, see Commanders.

For tips on using the commander, see Commander Tips.


 * A cleared character gives 2 points to the score, and gains 1 Affection whenever deployed with Rance (only one character can get +1 Affection this way from each battle). Their points are negated if they're missing from the roster at the end of the game. Named characters' clears are recorded in the Clear Game Report even if they're removed from the roster afterwards.
 * Among generic commanders, young girls—by appearance, age 15 to 29—can be character cleared (by raising them to Love). Male generic commanders may only be character cleared after getting a sex-change in Morocco. However, male generic commanders on the Clear Game Report (except Matsuo Bashou) cannot be sex-changed.


 * Unless stated otherwise, talking to a character increases his/her Affection by 1. (H scenes give no Affection boost.)


 * Generally speaking, when instructed to talk to a character, you're meant to trigger a purple event; wait a turn if there isn't one available. Do not waste time with colorless events. Certain events (e.g., Rizna, Uruza, and Magic's) may only be taken on the first command fan of a turn.

Non-Clearable Characters
The following are characters who cannot be cleared:
 * Kouhime (織田 香) (she never rises above Trust).
 * Uesugi Kenshin (上杉 謙信)
 * Yamamoto Isoroku (山本 五十六) (despite her dialogue, she never rises above Trust).
 * Masou Shizuka (魔想 志津香) (she never rises above Hate).
 * Gracia (she never rises above Trust).
 * Takakura Kamei (alias) (高倉 仮名) (she never rises above Trust).
 * Ouka Toki (凰火 朱鷺) (due to a glitch, she cannot even have a conversation with Rance).

かなみ Kentou Kanami

 * Raping her will make her leave and gives no SAT.


 * 1) Talk to her at 7 Hate to get to Normal.
 * 2) Talk to her after receiving Sex Ticket from Maria (Satisfaction +5, this is a colorless event). You do not need to talk to her to get the H-Scene as it can occur as a beginning of turn event without having talked to her at all. This can also occur if she is still at 0 Hate but must be done before step 4 or else she will not go to Trust.
 * 3) Do the purple event 'Have Kanami Scout' in Edo or Kazusa 2000 to do this, you do not need to have conquered either of them, but in order to get the option to do the event, you will need at least once territory in the province where you want to do the event. This must be done before step 5 or else she will not go to Love.
 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 5) Talk to her at 7 Trust to get to Love.

マリア Maria Custard

 * Requires Tanegashima Shigehiko.
 * There is an optional event at any point after step 2 where If you have at least 3 spare National Power and a space in your roster and Maria has attended at least 6 battles (even 6 floors of a dungeon will do), Kasumi will join.
 * 1) Talk to her once, and obtain Sex Ticket.
 * 2) Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) Character clear Tanegashima Shigehiko (may be done earlier).
 * 4) Talk to her for a H scene. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 5) Talk to her at 7 Love.
 * Optional event: If Maria is in your commander list, triggering the Kaguya event in Mikawa may result in optional event for Maria. However, this event will not net any reward (Not even healing from Kaguya) and will waste an Action Fan.

レイラ Leila Grecni

 * Requires Uesugi Kenshin.
 * After the player has seen the event where Kurohime releases the seals on Xavier, finishing any battle against the Demon Army which ends with Leila alive and having strictly less than 25% of her maximum number of troops remaining (accounting for any increases in troop numbers which have happened as a result of the player winning the battle) will cause an event to play in which Leila's unit will be permanently lost (assuming that no other event takes priority over this).
 * 1) Talk to her once.
 * 2) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 3) Talk to her at 4 or more Trust. Requires Kenshin higher leveled than her.
 * 4) Talk to her again at 4 or more Trust. (Satisfaction +5)

リズナ Rizna Lanfebit

 * Power-up events have higher precedence than normal events.
 * 1) Talk to her thrice. (require several turns)
 * 2) Talk to her at 6 Love. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) H her in Rance's room (May take many turns as it is has lower precedence over some of the other girls).
 * 4) Find the dungeon item, Sex Medicine. It drops randomly as Ogre Bones do.
 * 5) Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)

ウルザ Uruza Planeis

 * 1) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 2) Talk to her in Izumo, (may conflict and cannot be done on the same turn as some of Rizna and Magic events).
 * 3) Talk to her once. (An event will appear where Rance and Uruza watch a firework show together at the travelling carnival)
 * 4) Deploy Rance with her in battle. (Satisfaction +5)

マジック Magic the Gandhi

 * 1) Talk to her twice.
 * 2) Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 3) Talk to her once. (Satisfaction +5)
 * 4) Talk to her at 7 Love, and obtain Rance's Love. (Satisfaction +5)

健太郎 Ogawa Kentarou

 * Once he is cleared, he can learn Kentarou-kun Slash as a satisfaction bonus.
 * 1) Talk to him while Miki is missing. Warning : It is possible to find Miki without talking to him, after which you can no longer clear him.

乱丸 Ranmaru

 * Requires Shibata Katsuie.
 * Conflicts with Shibata Katsuie's character clear. Specifically, picking the first option in step 2 of Shibata's character clear will make it impossible for you to trigger the first required purple event in step 5 of Ranmaru's character clear.


 * 1) Talk to her once.
 * 2) Talk to her after deploying her with Shibata Katsuie in battle.
 * 3) Talk to her at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 4) Talk to her after Turn 60.
 * 5) Talk to her twice. Deploying her with Shibata Katsuie will now give them +50% ATK and DEF buffs. Note that for her to get +1 Affection bonus from army battles, she must be deployed with both Katsuie AND Rance.

柴田勝家 Shibata Katsuie

 * Conflicts with Ranmaru's character clear. Specifically, the first talking to in step 5 of her clear will make it impossible for you to trigger step 2 in Shibata's character clear.
 * Requires Kouhime.
 * If you have not entered a route, have seen Shibata's default colourless event (i.e. the event that can only occur prior to Ranmaru's character clear, in which he tells Rance that he's going to go teach martial arts to an elementary school), and have seen Oda's gourd break, Shibata will have two optional purple events in which you are giving some choices. Note that the second event will not trigger unless the player has repeated Shibata's colourless event after having seen his first optional purple event.
 * Picking the first option in the first event will put an end to this chain of events.
 * Picking the second option in the first event will do nothing on its own, but is a prerequisite for the second event.
 * If Owari's NP is not at its maximum (30), picking the first option in the second event will increase Owari's NP by 1 and end this chain of events. If Owari's NP is at its maximum then picking the first option in the second event will do nothing other than end this chain of events.
 * Picking the second option in the second event will give a Game Over.
 * 1) Talk to him at 7 Normal to get to Trust.
 * 2) * Warning: If unlocked, the optional purple events with Shibata (described above) will take priority over this event and grant him +1 affection, meaning that a 7 Normal Shibata can be reset to a 0 Normal Shibata if said optional events have been unlocked but have not been completed when he is spoken to at 7 Normal.
 * 3) Enter Kenshin or Ran route and talk to him afterwards. When given a choice, pick the first option (the second option serves no purpose other than rendering Shibata unclearable and thus preventing his conflict with Ranmaru's character clear), this will give him 1000 troops and turn him into an important character (meaning he cannot be killed or fired).

 * In clearing Hara Shouji, you will never see a scene where Sill appears, however she is required due to her potential to appear in Shouji's scenes.

 * It will appear as if he has forgotten his passive skill (Initial Battle Rating) but in fact, he hasn't.
 * His troop count will no longer be hidden (but you won't be able to buy troops for him).
 * Despite having a HP bar, if he has 1,000 or more troops, he can equip a Battle Permit.
