Sengoku Rance:Walkthrough

Quick FAQ

 * I can't attack anyone!
 * You need to declare war on somebody before attacking (see Game mechanics). Sometimes story events make the others declar war on you first.


 * An army that looks like mine but with different color suddenly appeared and attacked me multiple times per turn. They are too strong!
 * They will slow done to one attack per turn after a while (Not sure the exact trigger. Perhaps only first 1~2 turns uses multi-attack, perhaps slow down after taking over one territory).


 * Kentaro keep losing in a duel!
 * Ironically, the intuitive solution of leveling him up doesn't work. The enemy is fixed at 3 levels lower than Kentaro, and the higher the enemy level is, the harder it is to kill it (even though Kentaro is also stronger).  Instead, give Kentaro an "attack luck" skill from relitionship bonus to buff his attacks.

Hara House

 * Basics
 * You can declare war on Hara as early as around turn 2. They will declare war on you if you start fighting the Ashikaga House.  After winning some terriories from them, some events will trigger which further weakens their troops.


 * Noteworthy captains
 * Hara Souji - will be automatically captured when you completely take over the Hara House (and you can't capture him earlier).

Ashikaga House

 * Basics
 * You can declare war on Ashikaga approximately around turn 3~4. They will randomly demand money from you in increasing amounts.  If at any time you refuse to pay them (bottom choice), they will declare war on you (and Hara also if you aren't fighting them yet).


 * Noteworthy captains
 * Yamamoto 56 - After winning one battle against the Ashikaga, 56 will appear. The first time you fight a battle using Rance and run into her, it'll be an automatic defeat.  Afterwards, you need to defeat her once, she'll get scolded by Ashikaga Supergod, and then she becomes capturable.
 * Ikkyu san - Can be captured directly. Note he only has 80 troops, which can make capturing rather tricky and luck-based.
 * Ashikaga Supergod - Automatic capture after completely taking over all Ashikaga land.

Ika House

 * Basics
 * Will not proactively declare war on the player. Will be wiped out by the resurrected Demon Zabieru if you aren't at war with the Ika late in the game.

Tokugawa House

 * Basics
 * They are allied with the Takeda House, and will declare war on you if you declare war on the Takeda, but will otherwise not declare war on the player. Initially uses human troops, but once the player take over two "stops" of Migawa, the Youkais will enter battle.  Note: if none of the Youkai were captured, they will all defend the last stop together, making the last battle very difficult.  The battle becomes significantly easier of most of the Youkai are captured before the last battle.  After the last battle, there is a one-on-one duel between Rance and Tokugawa Ieyasu.


 * Noteworthy captains
 * All 5 underling youkais can be captured directly. Tokugawa Ieyasu cannot be recruited.
 * Princess Sen will be released from the Migawa dungeon after an automatic H-scene. Afterwards she can be recruited via a purple event in Migawa (she has an initial cost of 5 and will not show up if your national power is not enough to accomodate her).
