Kaeru nyo Panyo~n:Classes

Overview
In Kaeru nyo Panyo~n, characters initially have the non-combatant class. Your characters can become much more powerful by being given a class. To choose a class, you must go to your level god and select the class you want to give to any given heroine. However, you cannot give your characters classes for free, a toll is needed for each time you want to give someone a class. You need to give specific Gal Monsters to your Level God. If you give him an invalid combination of gal monsters, you get nothing and you still lose them. Furthermore, you aren't told the valid combinations of gal monsters from the start and you're limited by the number of gal monsters that appear in combat, as well as the number of capture ropes you have in stock. Luckily, you retain one use of the Amazon and Witch class change from one of your level god's retired clients. You may choose your starting class starting at level 5 and all subsequent at the next multiple of 5.

Each character can only access one of the seven final classes. A character cannot switch class paths once she begins a path, so make sure you start each character on the correct path if you wish to reach her final class.

You can choose to power up a character through the Alchemist. You can only upgrade the primary stats of the class the character is in. Warriors can upgrade their attack, guardians their defense, and magicians their magic. Monks do not have any equipment, so they cannot upgrade their parameters through the alchemist. Likewise, "Drug" items in the Equipment menu can only be used on characters belonging to the above classes.

After beating the game (during Completion Mode), the player may give up the party's current classes at the Inn by selecting "Return to non-combatant" (the option that runs off the edge of the menu box). This allows the player to experiment with classes and retains all previous stat boosts, including those from the Alchemist or from Drug items. By changing classes to gain Alchemist stat boosts, the player could attempt to max out their party, but this would take an incredibly long time.

There are four categories of classes:

Warrior
The warrior is an offensive class, they get the highest attack and nothing else.

Guardian
The guardian is a defensive class. After an enemy attacks there is a 50% chance a guardian will counterattack if you are standing next to the attacker. Changing to a guardian class will reduce the characters movement speed by 1, but every class up will increase their movement by 1, in the end having more movement then they started with.

Magician
The magician is a magic class. It uses that magic stat for damage and can attack at range. They gain one more range per class up.

Fighter
The Fighter is a hand-to-hand class. Attacking an enemy will give a 50% chance to ignoring enemy defense. This special attack also cannot miss, making it useful for enemies with high evasion. Have the highest move of the classes, as well as accuracy.

How to Learn Class Combinations
Yamane will only offer job changes if you give him specific combinations of Gal Monsters, but how is the player supposed to learn these combinations? The answer is surprisingly complicated, as it is meant to be a sort of puzzle or mystery. This section will explain how the player is supposed to solve the mystery, but if you would like to skip straight to the answers, head to the bottom of the page with this link.

There are 19 total classes, 20 if you count Non-Combatant. Yamane will give you hints for 12 of these classes if you give him a single Gal Monster (this also unlocks a CG, if you leave the menu and then revisit it). Unfortunately, the remaining 7 classes, the ones exclusive to certain characters, have to be are meant to be learned via trial-and-error.

Unfortunately, Yamane's hints do not give you the type of Gal Monster you need. Rather, they give you the personal names of 12 Gal Monsters ("Miku-chan," "Eve-chan"), one of each species. To work out which names belong to which species, you will have to find Monster Letters.

Yamane's hints are listed below, along with the Gal Monster you have to sacrifice to get those hints.
 * KyanKyan: Combine an "Ai-chan" with a "Sue-chan."
 * Magisco: Combine Miku and Ai
 * Goldfish Tamer: Combine Eve and Miku
 * Geckon: Combine Sue and Eve
 * Frog Magician: Combine Mari, Sue and Eve
 * Bee Girl: Combine Kana, Yumi, Mari
 * ZashikiWarashi: Combine Miku, Ai, Kana
 * Hebi-San: Combine Eve, Mari, Miku
 * Magician: Combine Eri, Saki, Mari, Eve
 * Handy: Combine Nami, Mei, Kana, Sue.
 * Mighty Witch: Combine Tomo, Saki, Nami, Yumi.
 * Valkyrie: Combine Ai, Eri, Miku, Mei.

Monster Letters
Monster Letters are a common drop from Guy Monsters, which describe various Gal Monsters by their personal names. There are three to five letters per name. To work out which personal names belong to which Gal Monsters, you will have to write down the clues from each letter and work out which Gal Monster belongs to which name. You do not need all of the letters to work out the names, however some clues will only become helpful if you see that Gal Monster's H-scene with Yamane. The earlier you work out the clues, the earlier you can use Yamane's combinations.

What follows is a list of Monster Letters, along with some deductions showing you how the clues could point to a certain Gal Monster.

Ai-chan
There are several ways to work this out. Only Geckons, Magisco and KyanKyans have tails, but only Geckons have short hair or use their tails in combat. The fourth clue is a giveaway: only Geckon wear red shorts, so Ai-chan must be a Geckon.
 * "Ai-chan's always so energetic. She always attacks so straightforwardly in combat."
 * "Ai-chan's short hair looks super good on her, doesn't it?"
 * "Ai-chan's tail is useful, huh~? I'm jealous that she can use it even for combat."
 * "I'd like to get a hold of Ai-chan's red shorts...."

Eri-chan
Eri-chan is very good at dodging, which suggests she is either a KyanKyan, Bee Girl, or Valkyrie. The Bee Girl does not have long hair. The KyanKyan definitely isn't strong in hand-to-hand combat, and the Bee Girl isn't that strong either. Ultimately, only the Valkyrie is both evasive and strong.
 * "The best thing about Eri-chan is has gotta be her long hair."
 * "I had a match with Eri-chan once, but I didn't land a single blow on her."
 * "I wonder if there's anyone stronger than Eri-chan in hand-to-hand combat?"
 * "I wonder why Eri-chan's so strong. Maybe I should train to be like her."

Eve-chan
With blue hair and a tail, Eve must either be a Magisco or a Geckon. Of these, only the Magisco uses magic. The fourth clue is obscure: it is trying to imply that Eve's Zodiac sign is Scorpio.
 * "Be careful, Eve-chan gets angry pretty easily. And she uses her magic right away when she's angry."
 * "Eve-chan's blue hair... It's so pretty..."
 * "Eve-chan looks kind of scary. Especially that tail...."
 * "I hear Eve-chan was born in November. It's just a rumor though."

Kana-chan
Kana is a spellcaster with a weird outfit and a weird prop or companion. These clues are not very helpful on their own, so the player may be forced to use process of elimination, or know who Tomo-chan is (below) so that they can use clue #1. If you know that Tomo-chan is a Hebi-san (a snake), Kana's identity as a Frog Girl is much easier to work out. The "thing" Kana always has is her staff, which is apparently alive, as (barely) hinted in her H-scene with Yamane.
 * "Tomo-chan's the only one Kana-chan never wants to play with."
 * "The other day I touched Kana-chan's butt and she blew me away with her magic."
 * "What's that thing that Kana-chan's always got?  It's a strange creature, isn't it?"
 * "That thing Kana-chan wears isn't really that cute, huh? But it's kinda her thing...."

Mari-chan
Fairly obvious. Only the KyanKyan and Bee Girl are barefoot. The Bee Girl is the smallest Gal Monster by far. The clue about flowers is a little cheeky, but it makes most sense for the Bee Girl. Bee Girl is also the only Gal Monster in this game who can fly.
 * "Mari-chan's always barefoot. I wonder if she doesn't have any shoes...."
 * "I heard Mari-chan likes flowers. I'll give her some as a present next time."
 * "Mari-chan's so small and cute."
 * "It must be nice to fly in the sky like Mari-chan...."

Mei-chan
One of the easier ones, and not just because there are five clues. Mei is the Magician. The Magician is the only Gal Monster who wears blue, though several have blue hair. The Magician is the only brunette Gal Monster in the game. The Magician is the only Gal Monster to hide her hair's length, though her short hair is visible in her H-scene with Yamane. Her species name, Magician, is almost written out in the fifth clue!
 * "I heard Saki-chan's even better at magic than Mei-chan. It kind of surprised me."
 * "Mei-chan's got short hair, you know. She's always hiding it though, so you wouldn't know it."
 * "Mei-chan always makes me think of blue. It's kind of her image color, you know?"
 * "I love Mei-chan's hair color. Brunettes are the best!"
 * "Mei-chan wears some pretty mage-like clothing, huh?"

Miku-chan
The KyanKyan, Bee Girl and especially the Hebi-san are all short on clothes. The third clue is only obvious if you're familiar with other AliceSoft games that feature this Gal Monster, but if you are it will be obvious. The long ears and not attacking give Miku away as a KyanKyan.
 * "Miku-chan doesn't seem to have any clothes. The next time I steal some from a human I'll give them to her as a present."
 * "I promised Miku-chan I'd play with her. She was so happy."
 * "When you think of Miku-chan, you've gotta think of those long ears, right? I'm happy just looking at those ears."
 * "Miku-chan's too kind. She's doesn't even attack humans."

Nami-chan
You'll probably need more than one clue here. The Bee Girl, ZashikiWarashi, and Handy are all short. The Bee Girl and Handy have pink hair. The Handy is the only one that wears a hat, but the Frog Princess, Magician, Valkyrie and even Goldfish Tamer wear other kinds of headgear. The slap could refer to anyone, but with the other clues, it seems to suggest a Handy. Nami-chan is a Handy.
 * "Nami-chan's pretty short. But that's why she's cute."
 * "Nami-chan's pink hair is so pretty.  I've loved it since I first saw it."
 * "Nami-chan dresses so well. The hat is an especially nice touch."
 * "Nami-chan's scary when she gets mad. I got hit by her once and she's got a nasty slap."

Saki-chan
Several characters wear red (or at least orange) shoes: the Magisco, Goldfish Tamer, Frog Girl, Hebi-san, Handy, and Mighty Witch. The Frog Girl and Mighty Witch both have grey hair. The third clue is tricky: only the Mighty Witch can transform, but you would only know that from her H-scene with Yamane. Thankfully, you don't need to know who Mei-chan is (above) to use the fourth clue. After all, the Mighty Witch is the mightiest witch in the game!
 * "Saki-chan always wears those red shoes. They look really nice on her."
 * "Saki-chan has kind of a rare hair color, huh? Elderly humans have that hair color too."
 * "Why does Saki-chan transform? I think she's cuter when she's not transformed."
 * "I heard Saki-chan's even better at magic than Mei-chan. It kind of surprised me."

Sue-chan
The Goldfish Tamer, Frog Girl and Handy all have gloves, and the ZashikiWarashi and Valkyrie also have hand coverings. The second clue might refer to the Goldfish Tamer, the Frog Girl and her living staff, or maybe even the ZashikiWarashi or Hebi-san if you count dangerous toys. The third clue, thankfully, outright names Sue as the Tamer.
 * "I wonder if Sue-chan's cold? She's always wearing those gloves."
 * "Your only chance to assault Sue-chan would be when she's alone. She's pretty weak when it's just her after all..."
 * "Oh my lovely Sue-chan... I wanna be tamed by her too..."

Tomo-chan
Very difficult, and not very helpful, since Tomo-chan only shows up in one of Yamane's recipes! The first clue is only helpful if you know who Kana-chan is (above). The second clue is subjective and very nearly useless (it was probably trying to hint at the Hebi-san being called "-san"). The third clue is outright misleading and seems to suggest grey hair, and maybe even the "bewitching" Mighty Witch, neither of which is correct! Only the fourth clue is truly helpful: you can see the KyanKyan and Hebi-san's ears from a distance, and can them both during their H-scene with Yamane. Process of elimination helps prove this is the Hebi-san.
 * "Tomo-chan's the only one Kana-chan never wants to play with."
 * "Tomo-chan's sexy, isn't she? She has an adult charm to her."
 * "Even Tomo-chan's hair color is mature. I can't get enough... of that bewitching colour."
 * "Tomo-chan's ears are really special. They're kinda big after all...."

Yumi-chan
The first clue is tricky, and seems to refer to the Goldfish Tamer, but the ZashikiWarashi could count if you include puppets. The lolicon clue isn't very helpful either, since it doesn't actually come across in the art style, but the Bee Girl, ZashikiWarashi and Handy are all shorter than the other Gal Monsters, and the ZashikiWarashi does play with puppets (but then again, so does the "mature" Hebi-san!). Thankfully, only the ZashikiWarashi is dressed in a JAPANese style, and she is the only one with black hair. In real-world myth, Zashiki Warashi are the ghosts of children, so the lolicon clue is more obvious with outside knowledge.
 * "Yumi-chan takes her pets with her everywhere, huh?"
 * "I'm a lolicon so I love Yumi-chan."
 * "I wonder if Yumi-chan was born in JAPAN?"
 * "Yumi-chan's black hair is so nice..."
