Rance/Rance VI

About
The brutish protagonist of the game, Rance. He starts with you from the very beginning of the game, obviously, and will usually not leave your party. He has high physical attack and defense and the highest Level Cap in the game, making him one of the best fighters.

With his high attack and health pool, he will the party's ace most of the time. His special moves are very strong as well, so he will generally be part of your main party.

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" upgrades first.
 * The "Protagonist" upgrade is okay.
 * Anything else doesn't really matter. I usually go for SP, even though he gains lots of it via events already. Stock up on SP recharging items and abuse him in high difficulty dungeons!

Weapons and Items
Rance's S Rank Weapon will automatically earn his S Rank weapon Chaos as a natural process of the storyline.

''NOTE! During a certain mission, for a short period of time, Rance will temporarily lose his S-rank weapon. During this period his weapon will revert to an un-egged A-rank Long Sword (even if the A-rank weapon was previously buffed with eggs, they'll be removed now). Chaos' eggs are not adjusted by this event. Just quickly make it to the star event that returns Chaos to Rance.''

Recommended Items
Dora Cat's Bell - Increases Rance's already high attack. Can be changed for anything that will help him deal more damage, but this is the general one.

Talent Ocarina - Since Rance has such a high level cap, this item will help him gain more levels, making him more powerful.

Ignorance Glass - If you want to utilize the Brutal Attack, you need this or you'll mostly likely be canceled.

Personal Nurse - Personal favorite way to grind. This heals your HP by 50% of max after battle. With "Protagonist", which increases EXP gain, and " Talent Ocarina ", you can get around 7~8k exp for battles that give you only 3k exp. Since the requirement for leveling is capped at 99999, its quite a good method. I send him in solo, since he is THAT powerful. (Watch out for light attack enemies though)

Trivia

 * Rance can reach a Level Cap of 9999 through cheating, but it's pointless as just editing the level doesn't increase stats automatically.
 * Aside from Rance, Rocky and Copandon are the only two characters who also have the Tactical Withdrawal skill.
 * Rance's Capture skill requires a charge, but Tamenegi's does not. On the flip side, Rance's level will usually be higher than Tamenegi's, making Capture more successful.
