Sengoku Rance

Hey.. have you guys tried what the battle prep is for?
Honestly never use it because it feels like a waste of fans

Long answer:
It sets up the battlefield bonus. Assume 0% base, then a 7% prep (it goes up by like 7 I think, though it does suffer from diminishing returns) gets you a 7% advantage. Problem with it is that if you try to use it to set for a next turn attack (ie: set up 21% to knock down the 50% miko fortress) they can reset it to 0 just by attacking you (in other words, save and load so they don't attack if you try this).

You don't need this in later games with the bonuses you get (there might be SOME occasions where this helps in the first run), though a 14% shift (2 actions worth) might help out on occasion if you can spare the fans.

Short answer:
Waste of fans.

I've used this option before. I actually found it quite useful. The thing is you have to upgrade it via the satisfaction bonuses. If you have it raised high enough you can get battle preparation up in the 90th percentile and win battles based mostly on morale. One situation that I can think of is if you're trying to win that final hard-ass battle to take over the Dokuganryu house.

However I have to admit it only works well if you have 3 or 4 action fans to use along with it.

Haha so basically i was right .....waste of fans XD

Um,sorry for interruption.Just Who is this pink haired character? I never seen her before(In my playing route). Can anyone tell me please?

Battle Preparation is a damage multiplier as far as I can tell. It's tremendously useful in later difficulties. Upgrade it twice and use three fans on it, and you go from receiving 20% extra damage to dealing 19% extra damage. It's pretty much the only way you can win those fights where you're outnumbered 2-3 to 1.

Or you can use one of the broken characters like Omachi and save fans and 2 SAT bonuses.

i can't see it.....ohh its keikoku a new char in the second game....

she's wierd. . . . . .

Ah keikoku

She look sexy though,Without the arrow stuck between her boobs XD

Oh quick question to the "pros", which route is best to kill omachi?

Keikoku's a badass.

Omachi or Orochi?

I think he's saying orochi. That son of a bitch too me forever to kill.

Haha typo. I mean orochi.
Why the hell would you kill omachi?She's my youkai of huge jugs T_T

Just making sure.

Anyways with Orochi, you've got two real choices:

True route or Ran route. Kenshin route is obviously not a choice, and Yamamoto route can force an end at some point so...

Personally, I prefer the Ran route. Just grind relationships and get everyone to cap level and all 9 stats without being distracted by war (remember, the Ran route doesn't end until you storm the tower, so kill everyone and sit back for awhile). Granted, you won't have lvl 99 Kentarou to back up Rance up in the Ran route. Actually, the really bad thing in the Ran route is that it may require a bit of patience and reloading if Shimazu abducts the wrong girls (if they abduct Natori for example, you're pretty much screwed).

edit: Oh yeah, I forgot. The monkey route is also a popular choice.

Hmmm might as well go for the monkey route with no obstacles.

if your'e gonna do it in the monkey route, be sure to occupy the shimazu province..


those guys can do more worst than their blitz attack in true route,

took 10 of my famale officer

and a reminder, don't join them until some female officer are clear
