Rance Quest:Playable Characters

Each skill has limited usage count, which is restored after each quest. For example, Rance Attack is initially restricted to one-time use per quest. Furthermore, there are three skill types:  offensive skills , used to attack the enemy directly and inflict damage,  supportive skills , used for everything else other than directly attacking the enemy, and  passive skills  that are always active when equipped. Skills mentioned in bold are very important/rare skills, sometimes unique to that character.

Also, each character, like in previous Rance games, has level cap (except Rance himself), which may later be raised (very likely by H-ing in case of girls and specific events in case of men, just like in Rance 6).

Rance Quest divides various playable characters in 8 distinct classes. In this article, characters are sorted according to these classes.

NOTE: Each character's level stats are mentioned in the following format: Starting Level/Initial Level Cap (Max Level Cap).

NOTE: The Damage Multiplier/Bonus column represents two values: the multiplier applied to the characters attack stat for damage calculation and the absolute damage added to the calculated magnitude. So if multiplier is A and bonus is B, total damage output of the skill is ((ATK*A) + B) HP.

Fighter (ファイター) [[File:Rance8Fighter.png]]
The backbone of your offensive force, fighters use melee weapons to assault the enemy and have weapon-based skills. A small no. of fighters might have limited magical skills but for the most part melee attack with weaponry is their forte. Furthermore, fighters in Rance Quest are quite versatile and can gain ranged attacks so that they can then be placed in both front and rear positions as needed.

Of course, the Almighty Serial Rapist of a protagonist in this game, Rance, is of the fighter class. Other examples include Uesugi Kenshin and Sesuna Benville.

Rance / ランス
Level: ??/∞

Learnable Skills:

Cessna Benville / セスナ・ベンビール
Level: ??/18(??)

Skills:

Uesugi Kenshin / 上杉 謙信
Skills:

Alkanese Rize / アルカネーゼ・ライズ
Skills:

Childie Sharp / チルディ・シャープ
Skills:

Guard (ガード) [[File:Rance8Guard.png]]
They, just like footsoldiers in Sengoku Rance, specialize at guarding other allies by taking damage in their place using the "ally guard" skill (and improvisations of it). They can use weapons to attack the enemy too but for the most part their speciality is tanking. Sachiko and Kouhime are examples of guard characters, so is Rocky Banks. Perhaps Katsuko too.

Sachiko Centers / サチコ・センターズ
Skills:

Rocky Bank / ロッキー・バンク
Level: ?/19(??)

Skills:

Oda Kou / 織田 香
Skills:

Gunner (ガンナー) [[File:Rance8Gunner.png]]
Despite the name of this class, this doesn't just refer to those who use firearms but includes most characters specializing in ranged physical attacks such as archers (and, well, gunners). They can hit the back row of the enemy (but their single attacks often can't bypass ally guard).

Megadeath is a known example of this class. Perhaps so are Maria and Karoria, if they're playable.

Megadeth Moromy / メガデス・モロミー
Level: ??/18(??)

Skills:

Aegis Kalar / イージス・カラー
Skills:

Athena 2.0 / あてな２号
Skills:

Sorcerer (ソーサラー) [[File:Rance8Sorcerer.png]]
Mages specializing in high-damage offensive magic are of this class. They have strong magical attack but often low HP and defenses, so they need to be put in the rear and must be guarded properly. Furthermore, as fans of AliceSoft games will know, their magical attacks will not work on the haniwa at all, no matter how strong the attack is and how weak the hanny is.

Mahoko P. Masai / マホコ・P・マサイ
Skills:

Kapalla Łódź / カパーラ・ウーチ
Skills:

Magic The Gandhi / マジック・ザ・ガンジー
Skills:

Uesugi Torako / 上杉 虎子
Skills:

Healer (ヒーラー) [[File:Rance8Healer.png]]
Those who specialize in healing magic and are the staple healers of the party. Aside from healing magic, they also have weaker attacks but are not good against most monsters in combat. However, healers tend to excel at fighting evil spirits (undead).

It may be noted that while Prima can heal allies (as seen in the Rance Quest test version), she doesn't use magic but uses medical treatment, and is not good at fighting undead either. Hence she does not belong to the healer class.

Crook Mofus and Cell Catchgolf belong to the healer class.

Crook Mofus / クルックー・モフス
Skills:

Sel Catchgolf / セル・カーチゴルフ
Skills:

Ranger (レンジャー) [[File:Rance8Ranger.png]]
Guess they were named like that due to their scouting abilities... ? Anyway, rangers are extremely useful for disarming traps and safely opening treasure chests. They're physically not as tough as fighters but can hold their own in melee combat and usually have superfast agility and dodge rate. In fact this class will mostly consist of ninja/thief characters. Characters like Suzume and Kentou Kanami belong to this class.

Suzume / 鈴女
Level: ??/49(??)

Skills:

Kentou Kanami / 見当 かなみ
Skills:

Sparter? (スパルタ) [[File:Rance8FistFighter.png]]
This class is for unarmed combatants (not sure about the naming, possibly spar+fighter?) or grapplers. They excel at close combat and specialize at very high damage offensive physical skills as well as physical attacks that also inflict status effects.

Alexander and Kibako are known characters belonging to this class. Looking at the descriptions, if Majin Kaito is playable, he'll be one of this class too. Other possibilities include Kaoru Quincy Kagura and Patton but it is not officially confirmed if they at all appear in this game.

Kibako / キバ子
Skills:

Civilian (シビリアン) [[File:Rance8Civilian.png]]
Basically, all characters that don't particularly fit into any one of the 7 classes mentioned above are in this class. They're proficient in various diverse (and sometimes unique) fields while usually not greatly excelling at any particular kind and have a mixed bag of skills at their disposal. Queen Lia and Prima belong to this class.

Lia Para-Para Leazas / リア・パラパラ・リーザス
Skills:

Prima Hunneman / プリマ・ホノノマン
Level: ??/22(??)

Skills:

Kopandon Dotto / コパンドン・ドット
