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).

Recommend skill : Advantage battle, Girl monsters users(learn by item), tactician mastery

The second highest level cap civilian character. That make her the best contestant for girl monsters users. But the most unique skill of her is the skill that make you encounter the battle with an advantage(40%), you will gain free round to attack opponents first. and she also has a tactician ability! What a all around useful civilian. This character can be your main force in your party if you have touched her only once!
 * 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 toasted pretty quickly. Nice level cap for a civilian, though.

Initial non-unique skills:

Atago McCart (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 Handy skill (ハンデ), that raises acquired experience after battle by 20%. On the other hand Atago has 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 monster handling book and max monster handling skill. After that equip +300HP accessory (she does not need any other stat) and H her with Rance. Equip Toko-chan or Captain Vanilla and learn a skill that raises chances of finding good items in a chest. All other skillpoints can be spent on studying HP enforcement skill. If you find Miko clothes (that restore 25% of HP after battle) this will make her perfect for her task. Just put her into back row and enjoy 20% experience bonus with occasional 1200 damage from Captain Vanilla or 600 damage on front row from Toko-chan.

Initial non-unique skills:

Copandon Dott (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」.

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 P.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 decide to work. You can only use it once per battle. Attack does affect the damage though--so raise her attack. Otherwise, like other Civilians, she's a utility character with 金運, which increases your income when she's in your party. If you wish, make her a monster girl user, or teach her skills such as Item Identification.

Recent patch has allowed the use of her お神籤 skill multiple times in a battle.

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

Copandon's Written Fortune is a unique physical attack that targets all enemies, always hits, and will randomly either do decent damage, massive damage, or zero damage. Not particularly useful as she has difficulty raising her attack power, though she also comes with a passive that doubles money after combat.

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 : Increase Charisma pt, Leazas no Kaminari (Leazas's Thunderstorm)

Build memo : Lia's main use is none other than putting her in the party for the last event in each quest, earning x2 charisma point. 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 for x2 CP.

Her pet dragon's lightning attack 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 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 better rank (preferably with growth rare). Raise her attack and learn open luck for a good offensive civilian.

Her Thunder Dragon attack is quite powerful and as an additional bonus she has a passive that doubles Charisma earned from quests (albeit combat quests only) if you finish with her in the party. 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 dragon thunder skill)

Initial non-unique skills:

Megu Makibano (牧場野 メグ)
In quest number 71　「魔人カイト」. Enter green star at the beginning area and choose クッキーを食べて (Eat cookie), the quest will fail. Later, play and complete another quest will unlock quest 79　「おっぱいさんイン」. Afterward, Complete quest number 79.

Meg has the Handy skill, 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 seem; at least, until you put efforts into raising her speed. As a Civilian, she has no other merits. She can use monster girls 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 zone with her in the party because Rance will fall asleep after eating her snacks.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

Initial non-unique skills:

Merim Tser (メリム・ツェール)
How to get: When in a dungeon, have 3 rigged (red) chests explode on you (consecutively, not sure about this, but i had to fail 3 times consecutively to get her event < true for Magnum 2.082 at least). 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 the ultimate item identify skill. Will ll 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 開運 as well, so items open from chest has a chance for better quality. Just spend the left over skill points on Strengthen HP. Her last slot if fixed so you can't let her tame monster girls.

She also have Party Exp bonus skill, 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%. Monsters love her, so she's always target locked on for abuse. Having someone with maxed out initial guard and putting her in the back row solves this problem mostly.

If you have the Miko Dress (巫女服) which +25% HP recovered after a battle, will help keep her alive and in the game.

Take note that miko dress 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 most 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 monster girls, so you're better off using other Civilians who have specialties to use in junction with monster handling. For instance, while Onoha can only use monster girls, Alcott can cast buffs while using monster girls. Just learn 男Ｍの弱み, and then raise her survivability. 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:

** Stats decreased due to being 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 Seirogan 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 Frostvine later on. Don't bother using her for item healing either. 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 Megadeath (メガデスと一緒), that starts her poisoned in every battle when she is with Megadeath. Poor girl :3

A possible candidate for one of those 30 SP white skills 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.

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

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