Kaoru Quincy Kagura/Rance VI

About
Kaoru's... an okay character. The big problem with her is that at a certain point in the game, she leaves the party and when she returns, she is unable to be H'ed until post game. You also need to spend some presents on her since events aren't that common.

While she starts out as a melee character, with certain upgrades she eventually becomes a ranged attacker and you should then put her in the back row because her HP isn't that high. Her other stats are mostly average in general. Overall a character that will come in helpful once in a while but not as broken as some of the top tier characters in the game.

In the final arc, she'll become removable from your roster of 16 characters if you need space for other people.

Upgrade Priorities:
 * Get both special upgrades of "Iaido Cut" first, which will reduce charge time and give it a chance to paralyze.
 * Upgrade "Determination towards Victory" since it gets a huge bonus.
 * Either upgrade the damage of Iaido Cut or SP.

Weapons and Items

 * Raise her FR to 30 and see her special event where king Gandhi will give her the "Iai no katana", not sure if this special event can happen before postgame.

Recommended Items

 * Quick Odd Bug - Increases her evasion rate.
 * Usa Usa Mask - Cuts damage by 1/4, as you can see the point is to not have her die when the enemy looks at her funny.
