Rance Quest:Playable Characters/Civilians

Civilian (シビリアン) Rance8Civilian.png
Basically, all characters that don't particularly fit into any one of the 7 classes mentioned above are in this class. The base Civilian skillset is rather useless and extremely limited in terms of equipment (though Civilians are the only class that can equip captured Gal Monsters), but they usually have unique equipment and/or skills of their own to make up for it, so a Civilian's actual role will vary greatly from one to the next.

Arlcoate Marius (アールコート・マリウス)
How to get: Buy Reddish Feather (赤っぽい羽) at the shop for 1500 gold. Usually doing 1 quest (ADV quests are fine too) after this enables you to recruit her at the bar (#16).

Recommended skills : Surprise Attack, Familiar Knowledge (learn by giving her a Gal Monster Tamer Handbook), Tactician Knowledge

The second highest level cap civilian character. That makes her the best contestant for gal monster users. Her most unique skill is Surprise Attack. This will sometimes make you start the battle with an advantage (40% when equipped), meaning you will gain a free round to attack opponents first. She also has Tactician Knowledge, granting buffs at the start of battle. Equip her with Offense Buff All, Defense Buff All and Encourage to round out her support skills.

Watch out for Easy Target, however. This skill makes her the preferred target by enemies and thus be defeated quicker. Pair her up with a Guard to protect her.


 * WARNING! In v1.000 there exists a bug in the game: Reddish Wing isn't repurchase-able but is required to be in your inventory in order to trigger her availability after you finish a quest. So if you buy it and then immediately sell it back/donate before Alcot joins, you lose the chance to recruit her for good. This is however fixed in v.1.100 update of the game, so the player is encouraged to apply the same. Otherwise, don't donate/sell the item until she joins.

Useful as a strategist that also gives you a high chance for a preemtive strike, but guard her well and keep her in back row, or else she might be toast pretty quickly. Nice level cap for a Civilian, though.

Initial non-unique skills:

Atago Macatt (アタゴ・マカット）
How to get: Clear quest# 85. Need to find Lotion 1-3 first to do it:

Complete quest number #84「舞姫ローションの噂」. [ After that, collect lotion A, B, C / Need not be from the maze, I got my lotion C from the quest to get Magic's medicine / I got my lotion C from maze 124 / Recent: Also possible to get Lotion C (at least, cannot verify for the others on this save) as a Magnum full-bar reward in the 2.050 version of the expansion/add-on. / on Magnum version 2.050 was confirmed all lotions can drops on quest #37, 3 zone right side near upper cave in red treasure chest (i was grinding lvls about 1 hour and get all there. p.s. also in first zone droped lotion A from red treasure chest)]

Build memo: One of the best Civilian characters suited for lategame leveling. Only three characters have the skill Handicap (ハンデ), that raises acquired experience after battle by 20%. On the other hand Atago has Dancer, a skill that can restore uses of skills of other characters, also her speed is rather bad, that means that she will rarely have moves in the battle, and you can keep those three charges quite a long time. This can be increased to 4 uses by completing quest #153. So give her items that raise her max level to 35 (will need a lot of them), then level her to max level (don't forget to leave at least 18 skill points), give her a Gal Monster Tamer Handbook and max Familiar Knowledge. After that equip her with Special Items that raise HP (she does not need any other stat) and H her with Rance. Equip a Tokko or Captain Vanilla and teach her Improve Fortune. All other skillpoints can be spent on Stamina Boost. If you find a Miko Outfit (that restore 25% of HP after battle) this will make her perfect for the task. Just put her into the back row and enjoy 20% experience bonus with occasional 1200 damage from Captain Vanilla or 600 damage on front row from Tokko.

NOTE: In previous versions Dancer worked differently and restored up to 3 uses to random skill slots and was able to restore itself.

Initial non-unique skills:

Copandon Dot (コパンドン・ドット)
How to get: Complete quest number 36　「コパンドンCITY」, 37　「コパンドン護衛」 and 38　「コパンドン護衛」.

Fortune (お神籤) is unaffected by stun rate, critical rate, or accuracy. It will always hit, however it'll either do 0 damage to the target, or 1x of your ATK or a higher random modifier up to 5x the damage. There is no damage cap on this skill either. The skill can be extremely powerful and can easily give you a instant battle win, killing every monster in your screen if the skill decides to work. ATK does affect the damage though--so raise that. Otherwise, like other Civilians, she's a utility character with Economic Luck (金運), which doubles Gold after battle when she's in your active party. If you wish, make her a gal monster user, or teach her skills such as Treasure Appraisal.

Grinding her level way up becomes necessary if you wish to recruit 2 characters in Magnum. Keep that in mind...

Initial non-unique skills:

Lia Parapara Leazas (リア・Ｐ・リーザス)
How to get: Complete quest number #63　「リーザスの怪談」.

Recommend Skill : Leazas Lightning Dragon, Attack Boost

Build memo : Lia's main use is none other than putting her in the party for the last event in each quest, earning double reputation. If the last event is a red star, switch her in just before delivering the final killing blow. For certain quests like #221-223, even though she does not participate, place her in the starting line up to still get double reputation.

Her Leazas Lightning Dragon has an exceedingly high damage multiplier and bonus damage, the highest of any attack that can hit all enemies. Raising her attack and finding a powerful weapon usable by civilian should be a priority.

In the latest patch, her thunder skills won't be limited to 6 uses anymore. (Limit still applies for latest TADA patch.) Both her unique equipments are good so donate and find them again for a better rank (preferably with Talent rare). Raise her attack and learn Improve Fortune for a good offensive Civilian.

She starts out at her level cap though, so you'll need three of the weak Forbidden Talent items to get her up to Morurun range. As an additional downside her pet dragon Harumaki takes up her bottom equipment slot so she's not capable of using gal monsters.

Locked items:

Harumaki - gives no stats so it's a handicap of some sort (but it justifies usage of her Leazas Lightning Dragon skill)

Level, Stats growth/boost:

Initial non-unique skills:

Meg Makibano (牧場野 メグ)
In quest number 71　「魔人カイト」. Enter the green star at the beginning area and choose クッキーを食べて (Eat cookie), the quest will fail. Complete another quest and quest 79 will unlock. Afterward, Complete quest number 79.

Meg has the Handicap skill for double exp gain, and her specialty is Relax, which is guaranteed to let you escape--even against Stone Guardians. However, her speed is low, so Relax isn't as great as it seems; at least, until you put efforts into raising her speed. As a Civilian, she has no other merits. She can use gal monsters like other Civilians, but you surely don't want to due to her low level cap.

She can randomly cause a quest to fail when you change zones with her in the party because Rance will fall asleep after eating her snacks.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

Initial non-unique skills:

Merim Zahl (メリム・ツェール)
How to get: When in a dungeon, have 3 locked (red) chests explode on you consecutively. Immediately there will be an event where Rance will find Merim. After you beat the quest on that occassion, Merim will autojoin.

A utility character, that has Treasure Appraisal+. Will always identify items upon acquisition. Can help you save a lot of money on identifying at the end of a mission/quest. However, this does mean you won't be able to strengthen the enhancements of the items, if they're already revealed.

Recommend learning Improve Fortune (開運) as well, so items obtained from chest have a chance for better quality. Just spend the left over skill points on Stamina Boost. Her item slot if fixed so you can't let her tame monster girls.

She also has Handicap, which boost exp gain by 20%. She can open 1 treasure chest and disarm 1 trap at 100% successful rate, after that it becomes 30%. Easy Target makes enemies attack her a lot, so have someone with maxed out initial guard in the active party to protect her.

If you have the Miko Outfit (巫女服) which +25% HP recovered after a battle, equip it on her to help keep her alive.

Take note that Miko Outfit have extremely low defense and magic defense, it may be better to get her a good growth leather armour, hard leather armour etc. However, to make her last through mid-game, some forbidden talents have to be used, but the income she generates overshadows that, so use it to make her last longer.

Her accessory gives a whole team heal for 300 health, this healing is fixed and can be used 5 times per dungeon.

While low on level cap, she's an excellent explorer that has mostly passive skills that a ninja would typically have AND lets you identify items for free! The catch: she also comes with a passive skill that'll cause enemies to almost always target her specifically whenever possible, and Civilians ain't exactly good at being physically sturdy. So avoid putting her in the front, and guard her well against ranged targets.

Locked items:

Angel's Mirror (天使の鏡) - item that lets her use a heal-all 300 HP skill, 5 uses per quest and cannot be removed. The latest update for Magnum enhances it further.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

Initial non-unique skills:

Onoha Mespos (オノハ・メスポス)
Complete quest number 94　「魔物女王」. Then do quest 16.

She can't exactly do much besides use gal monsters, so you're better off using other Civilians who have specialties to use in conjunction with monster handling. For instance, while Onoha can only use gal monsters, Arlcoate can cast buffs too. Just learn Guy Monster Weakness (男Ｍの弱み), and then raise her survivability. Monster Info (モンスター情報) is hardly different from a Sorcerer's Weakness Search, so you might not want it. Or you might as well learn it since she'll have plenty of spare points.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

1 Stats decreased due to Immature

Initial non-unique skills:

Prima Hononoman (プリマ・ホノノマン)
How to get: First character to get recruited using quest #16. Comes equipped with an Ibeprofun Box.

Has pretty limited use since her healing skill doesn't heal anywhere near the actual healers. But she's a great partner for Nozomi who starts battles poisoned. Dump her for Crook or even Frostbyne later on. Don't bother using her for item healing either. Ibeprofun EX Box (世色癌ＥＸ箱) is costly, and Arms will join with one anyway.

In Rance Quest Magnum, she now has a funny white skill, With Megadeth (メガデスと一緒), that starts her poisoned in every battle when she is with Megadeth. Poor girl :3

A possible candidate for Coach or Cheerleader that will raise exp gained or damage dealt, together with other rarely used characters.

Your first character that can heal. Important very early in the game when you have no better options, but mostly useless past that point as actual Healers are both stronger and more versatile in terms of healing abilities available.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

Initial non-unique skills:

Rebecca Copley (レベッカ・コプリ)
Civilian Lv 1/38

Can be bought from Pluepet for several million gold together with her sister Kisara. Price can be lowered a lot by having lvl 62-63 Copandon in your active party. This is quest #155. Min price is 50,000 gold.

Not very good as she is very slow, but has Weakness Search, otherwise a Sorcerer only skill. Let her learn Familiar Knowledge if you want.
