C H A R A C T E R G U I D E ----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TENCHI HP 176 Strength 44 Defense 71 Movement 3 Location -------- Obtained at the start of the game. Attacks ------- Jyuuji Giri Kaiten Giri Bokutou Nage San Ren en Mangeki Character Summary ----------------- Tenchi is a pretty good character overall. He's very powerful in both attack and defense, and he has a decent movement rate. His main flaws is that he's relatively slow and his attacks tend to be close range. TENCHI (Jurian Battle Armor) HP 176 Strength 49 Defense 81 Movement 3 Location -------- Tenchi is able to morph once he reaches Level 3. Attacks ------- Shougeki Ken Kenshou Zan Tenchiken Kououyoku Ken Character Summary ----------------- Tenchi gets a pretty useful upgrade in his morphed form, as some of his attacks are longer range, and his attack and defense is upgraded quite a bit. His Light Hawk Wings move should come in handy against fights against Kusumi's Amashiro. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AYEKA HP 140 Strength 44 Defense 71 Movement 3 Location -------- Obtained at the start of the game. Attacks ------- Oshioki Tairyoku Zoukyou Oshidashi Oshitsubushi Character Summary ----------------- Similar to Tenchi, except she has a healing move that can be useful early in the game. Also her attacks tend to be longer range than Tenchi, even though they're not as damaging as Tenchi's. She has less hit points though, so watch out for that. She more useful in her un-morphed form than Tenchi in un-morphed. AYEKA (Jurian Battle Gear) HP 140 Strength 47 Defense 81 Movement 3 Location -------- Ayeka gains the ability to morph at Level 3. Attacks ------- Jyuubakugeki Ken Raigekihouden Kaitenkoudan Chouryuuoku Dan Character Summary ----------------- You lose your healing move when you morph Ayeka, so consider that before morphing. Overall though, she's pretty good, and she gets decent range with her attacks. If Ayeka is your only healer than don't hesitate to "Revert" whenever you really need her healing powers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RYOKO HP 152 Strength 46 Defense 69 Movement 3 Teleport Float Location -------- Obtained at the start of the game. Attacks ------- Light Sword Plasma Beam Light Slay Beam Squall Character Summary ----------------- Ryoko is very handy in any situation. She has the ability to float over open holes and water, and she can teleport past characters that might be blocking her off. That plus the fact that she has decent movement shows her great maneuverability. Not only that, but her attack is good with long range attacks, and her defense is OK. Her only major flaw is that there's a big portion of the game where you don't have her in your team. RYOKO (Space Pirate) HP 152 Strength 49 Defense 81 Movement 4 Teleport Float Location -------- Ryoko gains the ability to morph at Level 3. Attacks ------- Plasma Sword Monster Rush Double Slash Giga Hand Character Summary ----------------- Ryoko receives a MAJOR upgrade in her morphed form. Her defense improves drastically and she gains even more maneuverability since she can now move 4 spaces. She still retains all the advantages she had before as well. It'll be hard for your enemy to stop her at this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MIHOSHI HP 128 Strength 40 Defense 63 Movement 2 Location -------- Obtained at the start of the game. Attacks ------- Blaster Teddy Bomb Bomb Blaster Hell Fire Character Summary ----------------- So, what's the big deal about Mihoshi anyway? She may seem worthless from the start, but in reality, she's far from it. One of Mihoshi's main problems is that alot of her attacks have a chance of not hitting their target. Not only that, but her stats seem very mediocre. However, her good points are worth checking out. Due to Mihoshi's luck, if you hit an enemy, the chances of a critical hit are very high. Not only that, but her attacks are very long range, so you can be sure she stays away from the action. MIHOSHI (GP Officer) HP 128 Strength 42 Defense 73 Movement 2 Location -------- Mihoshi gains the ability to morph at Level 3. Attacks ------- Freeze Beam Rail Gun Bingo Launcher Brave Pal Character Summary ----------------- If you've spent your hard time leveling up Mihoshi, you'll definitely be rewarded now. Her upgrade to officer uniform may not seem to give you much, but her new attacks are killer. Not only that but Bingo Launcher and Brave Pal don't miss at all, and these attacks deal major damage to the enemy without even having to get very close to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RYO-OHKI HP 144 Strength 42 Defense 64 Movement 4 Jump Location -------- Win the battle at the Carrot Field to get Ryo-ohki Attacks ------- Cat Food Playtime Carrot Field Super Carrot Harvest Character Summary ----------------- Yep, you can play as this cute little Cabbit in this game! Not only is she cute, but she's quite powerful as well. Her strength and defense is pretty good, but her main point is movement. She can move four spaces and has the Jump ability that's very similar to teleport (allows you to bypass enemies). Not only this but she long-range AND wide-effect attacks in her arsenal. She may be a bit behind in HP from the other powerhouses, but she makes up for it with her other abilities. RYO-OHKI (Spaceship) HP 144 Strength 46 Defense 78 Movement 5 Jump Location -------- Ryo-ohki gains the ability to morph at Level 3. Attacks ------- Lot of Kitties Cat Crystal Bouncing Kitty Ryo-Oh-Ki Character Summary ----------------- This is a tremendous improvement for Ryo-ohki! She gets an even more improved movement rate (Ryo-ohki in this form is the most maneuverable character in the game!) and improved attack and defense that can also be helpful. Her moves are very effective when attacking many enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SASAMI HP 100 Strength 40 Defense 65 Movement 2 Location -------- Get her by taking the lower path to the spaceship (not recommended if you want Azaka & Kamidake) or by going to the Prison when you are on the spaceship. Attacks ------- Sasami Fly Sasami Shield Blessing Tsunami's Blessing Character Summary ----------------- Sasami is a great support character with very helpful healing moves. Her attack, defense, and movement is far behind everyone else though, and her attacks aren't very helpful. It's best to keep her away from the enemies and just use her to heal. PRETTY SAMMY HP 100 Strength 45 Defense 69 Movement 3 Location -------- Sasami starts out with the ability to morph. Attacks ------- Milky Sammy Sammy Blast Burst Heart Pretty Sammy Character Summary ----------------- It's Magical Girl Pretty Sammy! She gets a major boost when transforming into her magical girl form. She gets a very useful attacks, as well as some special healing/effect moves later on. She can hold her on against enemies now, and she has an improved movement rate. A very useful character to have, indeed. When you have her early on (before you get the Pretty Sammy) you're going to have to take the same caution as Ayeka, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KATSUHITO HP 188 Strength 45 Defense 81 Movement 2 Location -------- Win the battle at Hot Spring to get Katsuhito. Attacks ------- Nirengeki Gorengeki Kiaijin Hishounotenkyaku Character Summary ----------------- This is Tenchi's grandpa, but he's definitely not weak at all. He's the strongest character in the game, with a very high attack and very high defense. Not only that, but he also has the highest HP in the game. He can go right into the action without getting hurt too much and deal some serious damage. His main problem come from his slowness (he can only move 2 spaces and his turn takes awhile to come), and his attacks are very short-range. YOSHO HP 188 Strength 49 Defense 82 Movement 2 Location -------- Katsuhito gains the ability to morph at Level 3. Attacks ------- Zanzougeri Gekiryokujin Tengekigenkyaku Tenchihametsukyaku Character Summary ----------------- Katsuhito can morph into his younger form, Yosho, but has little to gain. It can be easily accomplished however, because Katsuhito can easily fill up all his energy using the Kiaijin attack. Same as before, except a little tougher (the 2nd strongest in the game, really ^_^) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WASHU HP 148 Strength 45 Defense 71 Movement 2 Teleport Location -------- Get her by going directly to the Storage Room as soon as you get on the spaceship or (if you don't go there), by defeating Amashiro the first time. Attacks ------- Mecha Punch Medicine Cheer Washu-chan Doll Character Summary ----------------- She's another useful support character like Sasami, except she's a little better at combating enemies in this form. Her moves are pretty cheap, but very efficient. She also can use an effective healing move and her strength-increasing Cheer. A very useful character to have with you. NURSE WASHU HP 148 Strength 47 Defense 79 Movement 3 Teleport Location -------- Washu starts out with the ability to morph. Attacks ------- Needle Attack Super Medicine Super Prayer Washu Party Character Summary ----------------- Yes, this is a big improvement for Washu. Her initial move in this form is one of the most useful moves in the game until the very end. It sucks a major portion of the enemy's HP and gives it to Washu. Not only this, but she has a super healing move to help as well. Her final move is sure to damage large groups of enemies as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AZAKA HP 148 Strength 50 Defense 82 Movement 1 Location -------- Take the upper route to the spaceship and have Ayeka in your party for the battle at the Spaceship (I'm not sure if the second is a requirement, yet). You will receive both Guardians after the battle. Attacks ------- Super Squash Exploding Light Power Drop Character Summary ----------------- In terms of attack and defense, Azaka is the strongest in the game. His moves have excellent range, and he's very fast as well. Azaka's flaws are in his average HP, and very low movement. Movement shouldn't be too big of a problem since Azaka's attacks have long range. Another major benefit is that he starts with this power, he doesn't have to go through morphing to reach max power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KAMIDAKE HP 122 Strength 41 Defense 70 Movement 1 Location -------- Take the upper route to the spaceship and have Ayeka in your party for the battle at the Spaceship (I'm not sure if the second is a requirement, yet). You will receive both Guardians after the battle. Attacks ------- Oshidashi Random Heal Healing Plus Character Summary ----------------- Kamidake is a great healer and serves as a counter-balance to Azaka. He has good attack and speed, but not as much as Azaka. His speed is pretty fast like his partner. His attacks are not as long-range as Azaka's, and it's hard to hit the enemy because he moves slowly and can attack only one space. His attack is quite powerful, though, and his healing moves are good and efficient. Like Azaka, his HP is low, and he gets the benefit of not having to morph to reach full potential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ YUKINOJOU HP 72 Strength 45 Def 59 Movement 1 Location -------- Yukinojou joins after you have won the second battle at Mihoshi's Spaceship. Attacks ------- Hot Temperature Boom Boom The End? Character Summary ----------------- Overall, Yukinojou has glaring flaws that prevent him from being utilized that much in battles, but he does have his uses. First, the bad stuff. He has mediocre attack power, and his defense just plain pathetic (expect him to be killed easily, especially when I mention the next problem...) His HP is among the lowest and his attacks are expensive and very inefficient. Also add to this the same Azaka/Kamidake problem of only being able to move 1 space. What in the world could be good about this character? Well... there's a few points. The range for his attacks are really good and he can fire from very far away (without having to worry about missing like Mihoshi does), so he can stay away from the action (and he really needs to stay away from it). He, like Azaka and Kamidake before him, also does not have to morph to reach his full potential. His speed is VERY HIGH! Sometimes I've gotten two turns in a row with him, allowing him to charge up his expensive attacks easily as well as moving to a spot where you can launch them from. This is a point that is often overlooked, and it may be a point that makes him worth for a spot on your team. You decide... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MIZUKI (aka SHITSUKI) HP 160 Strength 42 Def 79 Movement 4 Teleport Location -------- She joins after you defeat the first Amashiro. Attacks ------- Enmai Kyokuenmai Kenmaikyaku Renenmaimizuki Character Summary ----------------- Mizuki is a great character to have in your team, but it's a while before she actually joins, and you'll have to level her up from 1 when you get her. Other than that though, she's great! Her defense is top-notch and although her attack strength is quite low, she makes up for it with her attacks. Her attacks are very energy-efficient and powerful. The range is very good, and combined with her excellent movement-abilities, she can hit enemies that are very far away while staying out of danger (though it's not really necessary anyway, sinc her HP and defense is high). Not only this, but she enjoys her full power without having to morph. An excellent addition to you team, especially for important battles.
