Rance VI:Playable Characters

Rance / ランス
It's our all-time favourite "hero", Rance! Rance starts with you from the beginning of the game and will generally not leave your party. He has high physical stats (both attack and defence) and has a level cap of level 99, making him one of the best fighter in the game.

Attacks:
 * 攻撃
 * Comments: His normal attack. Physical and melee range.


 * ランスアタック (1 Turn)
 * Comments: Rance attack! Hits one target for more damage than using his normal attack twice, and has good upgrades. Useful against bosses or powerful enemies. Physical and melee range.


 * 鬼畜アタック (2 Turn)
 * Comments: Hits all enemies for major damage. On the other hand, it takes two turns to charge up and everyone should really be dead by then or you'll get interrupted, so it's not very useful.


 * 捕獲 (1 Turn)
 * Comments: Use this attack to capture GalMonsters you fight throughout the game, to get H-scenes and a Friendship upgrade with Onion. Success seems to be dependant on Level and the HP of the GalMonsters. Seems to only be learnable after you get Onion to join. Technically, Rance's version is weaker because he takes 1 turn, but because his level is usually higher and Rance is much tougher in battle, in practice you'll end up using him a lot more.


 * 主人公
 * Comments: Passive skill. Apparently it grants more EXP if you finish off the last enemy with Rance. A good skill, but nothing game-breaking, he'll probably end up dealing the finishing blow even if you aren't trying for it.


 * 戦術的撤退
 * Comments: Run away from the battle. This is always successful when you can use it, but it doesn't work on boss battles. If you find yourself in dire straits or a bad match-up (such as having no magic-users against a physical resistant enemy), use this instead of trying to slug it out.

Upgrade Priorities: 
 * Note that to upgrade Rance, you'll have to use the Kimchi FR events instead.
 * I recommend getting all of the Rance Attack (ランスアタック) upgrades first
 * The 主人公 upgrade is okay
 * Anything else doesn't really matter. I usually go for SP.

Resistances: Weak to Light.

Recommended Items 
 * ドラ猫の鈴 Increases Rance's already high attack. Can be changed for anything that will help him deal more damage, but this is the general one.
 * 素質のオカリナ Since Rance has such a high level cap, this item will help him gain more levels, making him more powerful.

Sill Prain / シィル・プライン
Rance's faithful slave. Will leave you early on, but after she rejoins you will stay with you throughout the game. She's a flexible spellcaster, having a variety of attack spells and also healing magic, which due to the rarity of, she'll probably be healing most of the time. Doesn't have much raw power, but is one of the most useful character in the game.

Attacks:
 * 炎の矢
 * Comments: Basic ranged spell attack, fire element.


 * ヒーリング
 * Comments: Basic healing spell. Heals a decent amount. With the lack of characters who can heal, Sill will probably be doing this a whole lot.


 * 氷の矢
 * Comments: It's Fire Arrow... except replace the word "Fire" with "Ice"


 * 氷雪吹雪 (1 Turn)
 * Comments: A magic attack that hits all enemy for ice element damage. Good spell, but usually outshadowed by other multi-target spells later in the game, plus you need Sill as a healer for the most part.


 * 回復の雨 (1 Turn)
 * Comments: Heals all allies for a decent amount. A very important skill, this is your only counter against enemies who can hit all of your characters. Sill is one of the only two characters in the game that has this.


 * Sレーザー (2/1 Turn)
 * Comments: A powerful magic attack on one target. Don't bother using this if you haven't upgraded it, because 2 Turns is just too long for the the damage you get. After you do, it's a good boss killer move.

Upgrade Priorities: 
 * Sill is very well-rounded, so upgrading individual spells might not be the way to go here. I would go for SP to be able to use her more often.
 * Sレーザー is an exception. If you plan to use it at all, upgrade it so that it takes only 1 Turn.
 * Although 回復の雨 only increases 5% per upgrade, it's such a useful spell that it may be worth spending upgrades on it.

Resistances: Weak to Dark.

Recommended Items 
 * 雷ボール Increases her magic, fairly obvious
 * 闇のペンダント Reduces damage from Dark attacks.
 * 無視メガネ Getting cancelled when you're trying to use 回復の雨 is painful. This helps a bit with that.
