Hey /jp/, Rance thread. This is my second playthrough, but I'm still relatively new to this game. I can't seem to defeat Houjo when I try, and I'm too underlevelled to defeat and recruit Inukai. Where do I go from here? Troops on next post.

Go for Houjou and defend against Iga at the same time.
Build up troops from defending both and focus attacks on Houjou.
If you're getting fustrated with doing both, just take out Iga completely(make sure you have Suzume), or just beat them(without Suzume), and you'll get another chance to recruit Inukai.

Yeah. Raising your troop count scales the enemies, so often it's not worth recruiting troops (which would elevate commanders' NP consumption). If you have 30 commanders, but lots of unused NP, there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe build Ninja/Musketeer/Footsoldier/Diviner schools with it.

If you're going for points, don't bother with One-Eyed at all.You won't defeat Masamune without having captured his wives unless Rance is at an ungodly level + really high stats (Eyedrop = full health and he has really high speed). Plus, each of the wives has Auto Heal, which means you won't get end-game points from them. So the likely 6 actions mnimum to beat each wife, then recruit them, then talk to them, THEN beat dokuganryu twice (once in troop combat, once in one-on-one), will be annoying.

On the other hand, you've already gone through the larger territory, so if you already have Akashi cleared, go for it, and at least get 10 points from beating and then clearing Masamune for it (plus he'll help in the last fight)

>> No.3733076

>>3733052
I guess for now I'll defend territory while trying to get his wife.

I would use my diviners, which I generally have a minimum of 2-3 (Elina, Ran/Souun, Omachi) and protection paper, then have a foot soldier with All Guard, and use the guard shikigami, while natori and/or one of the diviners uses an attack that hits everyone.

In your case you'd need a little luck. Let's see...

Natori, Kouhime, Uesugi Kenshin, Suzume (or Yamamoto Isoroku if she has Whirlwind Shot), Naoe Ai, and throw the monk in too. You need to assassinate Iehisa (where the luck comes in- you may not be able to kill him but you might succeed in annihilating the unit), then have natori use miko storm after your foot soldier switches to all-guard mode. Then have your monk guard cancel, and use Uesugi to weaken (but not kill) the ninja. Use Ai to attack the monk in back or debuff if Shimazu and/or the ninja get buffs that are too strong. Don't have Kenshin attack if Shimazu has any Guard % at all, because he -will- destroy her.

1) Play on higher difficulties (60 points = normal, 120 points = 1-star, 150 points 2 -start, 200 points 5-star)

2) Beat the route quickly since you lose 1 point/turn

3) Character clear easy to clear commanders (2 points for each commander cleared, only uniques and female generics can be cleared)

4) get end-game points (+2 points per commander that has it, can only be obtained if their passive slot is empty)

5) Do the objectives (+10 points for each objective not counting character clears. Starting withf easiest to get, 30k troops, Defeat Youkai King, 6 Great Treasures, Fuck 300 women, Defeat Orochi. The last two may not yield positive point gains, though the 300 women is pure luck to get.)

It happens randomly, around 10-20 turns after the war with them started, suzume will tell you that they will start going after your female commanders. only commanders who are in love with rance are immune against this, the info on the wiki is wrong.

>> No.3733401

>>3733162
That's why I said you'd need luck. Although I've noticed a few things that seem to make a difference. These are just my observations and opinions. Your mileage may vary.
First, obviously, if an opponent has assassin guard you shouldn't even bother. If they're special and named, like the shimazu brothers, you're unable to kill them directly. However, it lowers the chance to succeed, but you can still annihilate them. Whirlwind Shot and Aim and Shoot are more likely here. You also have a high chance of capturing a "unique" commander if this succeeds, assuming they can be captured at all.
If a foot soldier intercepts an assassination attempt, it seems more likely to work than not against the foot soldier.
If the enemy has no action fans less, it seems more likely to work (There's one unit that also has 100% against an enemy with no action fans left).
It seems much less likely to work against ninjas, and slightly less likely to work against guarding foot soldiers unless they're intercepting an attempt.
... It's also possible that it works worse in general against enemies with high intelligence, but I haven't really been able to confirm this by assassinating because it's difficult to check a foe's intelligence before or after assassination.

Vassaling is a way to conquer a country really quickly with a 100% chance of success at no cost, without using combat resources. You can keep conquering in the same turn you've vassaled, too.

I just cleared him once and will never bother again with that piece of shit.

7s in all stats dont help when you have shitty base modifiers.

Wondering if I could get a little help on figuring out what the last couple of empty cg spots are and how to get them.

I'm missing 24, 37, 68, 74, 86, 97. Thanks in advance for anyone kind enough to help out.

24-Capture South Africa in true route to get Kurohime's bondage H-scene.
37-Vassal Uesugi and capture Ai in a fight with another family.
68-Leave Komatsu in jail for a long time until her fans start asking you to release her.
74-In Ran's route or Kill the Monkey capture all of the Shimazu brothers and then conquer all of the Shimazu territories.
86-Get 3000 cavalry troops and talk to Mokko.
97- Let Leila get captured by the demon army in the true route or Isoroku's route.

I've beaten this game already but only in true route and I suck only 5 points. Does anyone have any good saves? I found a good one that gives all items but it turns a lot of the text back into japanese and since I don't understand it its kinda hard to use the items. Compared to half of the posters on here I really suck or just lack a lot in luck.

You played through it once. Everyone's first game is like that, plus there's only one route in the first playthrough. Play a second game and try to beat it as fast as you can now.

Nearly everyone is like that. Take Elina and do a quick ran route. It's enough to end up with somewhere around 30-50 points. After that you can do whatever the fuck you want, like completing all routes and then doing another Ran run for maximum points.

>maximum points.

5-star monkey route here, Ran route is a bitch for total points.

Just wondering if this is normal but I can never beat Xavier I usually have to restart like 3-4 times so he's down to lvl 68. Is this normal for everyone else?
