Rance Quest:Playable Characters/Spartans

Brawler (スパルタ) Rance8FistFighter.png
This class is for unarmed combatants or grapplers. They're melee-range and have a grab bag of abilties available, including debuffing, counterattacks, heavy damage to humanoids, and elemental damage. Their main issue is their equipment choices; their only weapon type is Gloves, which are much weaker than most other weapons, and they're limited to special light armor that doesn't provide much defense, though they do tend to have good HP.

Alexander (アレキサンダー)
How to get: Up to 1.15: Clear any 2 quests with map after getting Cessna.

In 1.6/Magnum: Complete quest number 16「酒場でスカウト」 after clearing #121 「マルグリッド迷宮1層」.

Since he doesn't start with any Element Strike related skills like Kibako, it might be good to forsake those skills to save points. Instead, raise his Shoulder Throw, which is deadly on humanoids such as Matilda, Full Kalar, and Yudain. Otherwise, raise him as you do Kibako. Make sure to get Brawling Knowledge, Armor Strike, and/or Soft Spot Strike. Being able to use Soft Spot Strike about two or three times should suffice. Has monumental level cap, even exceeding that of the likes of Kenshin and Urza!

Initial non-unique skills:

Biscuitta Berns (ビスケッタ・ベルンズ)
Cannot be H by Rance in earlier version. In Magnum she can be H'ed normally.

Requires Patch 1.1. After you gain access to Rance Palace, and progressed far enough in the game, do whatever event you want once and attempt to re-enter the palace, Biscuitta will warn Rance about cockroaches in the palace. Go out and complete any other quest and Quest #136 will unlock. Complete Quest #136 and repeat the step of re-entering the palace once again, then go out and complete any other quest and Quest #137 will unlock. Complete Quest #137 which in turn will unlock Quest #138. Complete Quest #138 and she'll join your party.

Note: You also need to have viewed Quest #23 to unlock #138. Also, #23 requires you to have completed Quest #49.

You may use her like any other Brawler. But if deployed alongside Crane and Tomato, you'll have the best item hunting team due to her Dungeon Cleaning. If you're going to raise her for the item hunting party, then it's not bad to learn Shortened Fight too.

She gains a skill called Stone Splitter in her A Day in Cidade event which has one use and hits ine enemy for 2x damage

Kaoru Quincy Kagura (カオル・クインシー・神楽)
How to get: Has a chance of joining when changing areas in a quest that you've completed at least 4 times, and if Magic is in the party.

Kaoru is initially able to use Shoulder Throw 6 times. (Like Alexander, she's pretty plain in terms of skills.) So pick between either Element Strike or the combination of Soft Spot Strike and Armor Strike. Generally, the latter is better since Kibako is superior for Element Strike.

She has 2 unique skills. Yellow skill known as Persevere (踏ん張り) that Guards get. This skill give her a 50% chance to stay alive on a death blow, that would otherwise defeat her. Her unique white skill Kaku-san (カクさん) gives defense buff to the middle front row character. Try placing your guard there, that's a free boost as long as she's in your party.

Starts with 6 uses of Shoulder Throw and two unique abilities; a white one that provides a defense buff to whoever is front and center at the start of battle, and a yellow one that gives her a 50% chance of surviving an otherwise-fatal blow.

Initial non-unique skills:

Kibako (キバ子)
How to get: Complete Quest #91 "Wild Child of Ifo" (「イフォの暴れん坊」).

Recommended Skills: Soft Spot Strike, Armor Strike, Element Strike

Build Memo : The Brawler who join with a lot of passive skills since beginning, that make her Element Strike very strong throughout the entire play through. Armor Strike also considerable to be a one hit kill for a lot of monsters. And the most important skill is nothing other than her Soft Spot Strike, it will be the skill to clear your way in the last two bosses, Full Kalar and Masuzoe.

She's extremely important in any boss fights, such as Full Kalar, Am, Masuzoe, Black Dragon...(in World 3, Gunagun can one shot 15,000 damage your party, thus she's the only one aside from Guards can survive.) Is this true?

Kibako's unique selling point is that she comes with all 5 of the Elemental Brawling Knowledge passives and 4 uses of Element Strike pre-learned, so she can hit enemies with weaknesses hard if you've used Weakness Search on them at least once (and if not, Element Strike is no weaker than a normal attack). Otherwise she's a solid melee fighter, though hampered somewhat by the low attack power of Gloves.

Note: Kibako has a unique rare event when moving maps in a dungeon. If she has a "Manga Meat" equipped as a special item, she will consume it for a permanent +2 max HP, and transform the item into a "Manga Meat Bone". There is no need to keep it equipped for Mororun. This possibly makes her the tankiest character in the game. (Does this have a cap on the amount of times it can happen? It is not a one-time event)

Initial non-unique skills:

Kisara Copley (キサラ・コプリ)
Can be bought from Pluepet for several million gold together with her sister Rebecca. Price can be lowered a lot by having level 62-63 Copandon in your active party. This is Quest #155. Minimum price is 50,000 gold.

Even with slightly weaker HP and ATK growth, her debuff all ATK/DEF skill Flame Card (炎のカード．連) is useful in the higher worlds.

Initial non-unique skills:

Bear (クマ)
Go to Quest #121, #122, #123, or #124, change areas with only two characters in the party. (As Of Build 2.050: There appears to be a requirement that Crane's Eavesdrop is required in Malgrid 1-4 before Bear becomes available. Eavesdrop showed up in Malgrid 5 for me.)

(As Of Build 2.082: Crane's Eavesdrop is not required. Just keep switching areas in Malgreed 1 with 2 party members until his event shows up.)

Go to Quest #121, #122, #123, or #124, change areas with only two characters in the party.

Bear's passive skill Bear Traits gives him +40% attack & accuracy, but -50% HP. He is also very easily stunned (regardless of enemy stun rate/Bear's RSL) when taking physical attacks. Due to the negative effects of this skill, it's not advised to use him in boss battles without Stamina Boost, which will take away points you'd would normally allocate to offensive skills. If your choice is to use Bear only for random battles, then aim for learning Element Strike and its supportive skills. Also, due to Element Strike and high critical rate (as normal for Brawlers), Damage Maximum is not important on him.

After his A Day in Cidade event, he gains the passive skill My Waifu (俺の嫁), which grants +50 DEF and RSN. He receives My Waifu (#2) after Quest #108 and My Waifu (#3) after Quest #109, both of which also granting 50 DEF and RSN, for a total of 150 to his DEF and RSN.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

1 Stats due to Bear Traits

2 Stats bonus after getting all My Waifu skills

Initial non-unique skills:  

Matilda Mateuri (マチルダ・マテウリ)
Need to defeat Matilda in Magnum story quest then do Quest #191. As per the story, she has Morurun Damage 3.

Starts with Counter 2-star. Slightly higher ACC, STN & CRT compared to most other Brawlers.

Level, Stats growth/boost:

Initial non-unique skills:  

Tama (タマ)
How to get: Buy Tama's Underwear タマの下着. Then go back to shop, there will be a conversation. Then buy Tama's Dress タマの服 as well and trigger Quest #82. After that, buy "Mercenary Tama" 傭兵タマ. As soon as it's in your inventory, you should find Tama in your party screen. Each of the 3 items above cost 1000 gold.

Because of her low starting cap, she takes a lot of effort to make strong. Her ATK is slightly lower compared to most other Brawlers, but her RSN is very high. She has no unique abilities to make her stand out among others, so you probably won't use her much. If you wish to use her, get Brawling Knowledge, Armor Strike and Soft Spot Strike so she can soften up tough enemies at the start of battles.
