Drawfag Weekend - Shizuka Weekend starting July 28th

First for Sill is best girl

>Sillfags are /skg/ tier waifufag shitposters.

It all makes sense.

How long has it been since our first thread? 5 years? I want to get off this ride

This is a Bird-free general. Please leave.

>tfw your girl isn't on the cover of ANY rance game so you have to resort to bullying to take out your frustrations

2012

So Elizabeth is the mother?

No, Rance has two daddies

>98 points after completing Ran route on normal

Have I ascended?

I'm off. Stay alive.

I wonder if the enchantments you can make with demon and angel crystals are stronger than those from regular kalars.

If they are not blue, probably not.

>EVERY ONE

Sugoi.

Hello, fellow Sill fan

Is the bee the only reliable way to increase action points?

Fuck, just misclicked and post a 2k post right when I was about to back it up.

Ghah! Jealous haters are spreading false rumors again!

What the hell is this OP

It's for historical accuracy.

I bet you only found about being able to do that from reading the Wiki (which incidentally isn't correct on the subject, I've got the code somewhere).

As an EOP who hasn't played any games past III I've always interoperated that as meaning that Rance believes that he's not done anything wrong. He's a hero of justice

>generic mikos do not have miko storm
I don't have a screenshot to back this up but as far as I'm aware they can spawn with it. Aside from this they can also learn it via affection.

>no idea how much money you could save doing miko heals
As I've said it's only good under certain conditions, but it does work.

>not sure why you wrote "i disagree"
Because we do, you even started your post by claiming that I was wrong about Miko Storm. I will however stress that I'm not claiming that generic Mikos are good, I'm merely attacking your claim that they're useless.

>anyone who needs the +1 action and can spare a locked item slot
I'll need more examples, I disagree with all of yours.

>Ranmaru
On high difficulty I'll say no on the basis that she's a warrior. On a low difficulty I'll say no on the basis that I'd rather give it to a better warrior.

>Kenshin
On a high difficulty her only purpose is to enter the battle and use Commander Charge. On a low difficulty I can agree.

>ninja
Why? On a low difficulty I'd rather give it to a Warrior/Tactician and on a high difficulty Ninjas are just there for Assassinate.

>anything that uses up its actions on the regular
I'm not sure what you mean, particularly given that you're already against choosing Natori.

>Anyone with good 2-action moves that you don't use as often as you'd like.
Such as?

>I would use it on a musket [...] but i don't really use those
Muskets are among the fastest units in the game and regularly hit the damage cap. The ring would basically be the difference between a regular musket and TOSH (not very much).

Nope, do it again on 5 Star with even more bonuses just so you can get even more points.

Emperor Items
In Rance's case, SAT bonuses.
Action Textbooks

Long story short the most reliable way is getting the Emperor Ring, although I want to double-check if you can get that in the KTM.

>>Anyone with good 2-action moves that you don't use as often as you'd like.
>Such as?
I'll take this one:
light attack, full power warrior attack, battlefield construction, rear guard smash, whirlwind shot (if you also have an action book), battle status up, i'm sure there are more.

>light attack
After route entry? Why? And even so, why would I waste my affection items giving Light Attack to a unit who clearly isn't built for it?

>full power warrior attack
Any worthy warrior will already have a second skills.

>battlefield construction
Goemon? I've already covered Ninjas.

>rear guard smash
>battle status up
This I can actually see.

>whirlwind shot (if you also have an action book)
That's mad and you know it. You might as well have said "Commander Snipe generic".

Hey, I've never seen this event before.

For the curious.

>although I want to double-check if you can get that in the KTM.
Just confirmed.

...

>"I felt a fishy stare on me"
Is this a case of excellent translation or did Alicesoft accidentally make a joke that works better in English than it does in Japanese?

Are you seriously badmouthing whirlwind shot? It's literally the only thing that makes Isoroku useful.

What do you guys think of Charge on Rance?

Situational?

I never use charge

It's not worth the Emperor Ring and an Action Book. I even doubt that she'll be fast enough to use it 3 times in one battle.

So situational that it'll be unusable. Improve his Spd instead.

Nice guys finish la-

Charge is a great skill

if you don't have audacity you don't have shit

>1 EARLY turn from my main damage dealer to get a 70% buff
>when I have my tactician giving out 45% buffs for virtually free
Sounds great senpai.

Try it, I didn't believe it either when some other user mentioned it here.

I've seen some youtube video where the guy uses Charge.

The thing is, it has a very short cooldown, a bit like swapping someone out in a dungeon: you get to go again right away.

I might get it for this ** run.

>As an EOP who hasn't played any games past III I've always interoperated that as meaning that Rance believes that he's not done anything wrong. He's a hero of justice
It's more of Rance is just so content and carefree that he doesn't get Soul Pollution. If I remember correctly, in Quest, it's said that he has quite a high Soul Pollution after Sill's is frozen because he became a lot more grumpy and irritable.

oh man kenshin is so cute

What does kenshin sound like to you, hannies?

>Try it
Would if I could, I don't play on any difficulties where warriors are relevant.

>it has a very short cooldown
Excellent point.

>Warrior Attack 2 on Rance
>level 49 despite clearing doing dungeons
>301 troop Rizna
>Takeda before Uesugi
>Not even averaging 1.2 SAT per turn.
Fucking triggered. Are you farming the blitz or something?

I'm lazy, so I just imagined she had Saber's voice.

>seven cavalry in roster
Mamushi Oil field into Takeda, then I farmed cav until about mid 30s in turns. It was tough.

Then I stopped a blitz, took Tokugawa, Miko, and then assassinated Shingen.

Just took a province from Uesegi.

Not sure why the rush for SAT, I honestly find myself with tons of it later in the game.

And what's so bad about WA2? According to the tooltip it's a nice flat 10% increase.

Saber.

>5 front war
>on 2 star
You've got some balls user, even with your bonuses.

>Then I stopped a blitz
What the fuck did you stop the blitz with? Cav?

Holy shit, that discovery about not conquering countries really changed everything. That is what inspired you, right? I'm presuming that you're not totally insane.

>Not sure why the rush for SAT
>He's not sure why he'd want to rush the third action fan, Dousan, Rance Attack, and Uruza.
In all seriousness, above all else you're striking me as hilariously inefficient. Even with your lack of conquest considered it's hard to see how you've got so little SAT, particularly given your clear usage of dungeons. Although I've not bothered to run the numbers.

>And what's so bad about WA2? According to the tooltip it's a nice flat 10% increase.
It's more the fact that you've got it on Rance. For various reasons the priority for Rance should be his stats, these reasons include boss fights, his 1 vs 1s, and the potential for making him an awesome unit by exploiting the elite troops SAT Bonus.

>t by exploiting the elite troops SAT Bonus.
did you look at his stats in the roster?

lol

Fucking... how?

Rance's default is 5/4/5/4, boostable to 6/6/6/6 via perfect luck with books. Natori makes that a 6/6/6/7 and I can only presume that his Cost won't go up if you make that 7/7/7/7 (I've got no clue what the mechanics of that actually are) by dumping a bunch of affection items on him. Elite Troops then makes this 8/8/8/8 and the 2nd Game Bonus textbooks make that 9/9/9/9, although that doesn't explain his Cost being 4.

Fuck, I've got no clue. Pic related is what a points runner once posted and that's not even helping.

6->7 costs no NP. I messed up once and got hit with a +3 NP going 7->8 ATK.

No reloads on this playthrough. luckily i did not get fucked on the RNG like that other user who had uruza and kenshin and literally everyone die

And speaking of, what the fuck did he spend his first 40 SAT on? Rizna, Uruza, Elite Troop, and?

KANAMI

Fair enough, that all makes sense.

> luckily i did not get fucked on the RNG like that other user who had uruza and kenshin and literally everyone die
I'm still heart-broken, but I've made sure it'll never happen again. Pic related.

Explain.

>explain

Top lad.

advice lads?

I need to win this one.

Rance, Uza, restored Isoroku with some lucky sniping...
Nah but really you're fucked.

Yamamoto does not have WWS
Uruza has AS,

Two points bonus guys have
Kurosaki (the one with 2 Def): Battle Rating Down 2
Makutsudou: Convert Action 2

Does Ran have her homo firebird?

Yes.

Hard mode hannies.

I might have to let them have this one desu senpai

Baba can solo any party you make from that roster. You're fucked.

Baba could first turn commander charge, therefore only taking out 1 opponent.
Ran however is likely to just nuke the whole party.

>400 troop footsoldier
>Enemy Diviner, you have no ninja
>Baba shouen with 3000 troops, basically removing your back row
>And is also protected by a footsoldier

Even with your best units you wouldnt be able to win

it gets worse, that footsoldier has 3 DEF

Solution! Whirlwind Shot Isoroku, pray for extreme luck (Baba IS vulnerable). Bring Uruza for Spd buff and Accurate Shots, coupled with Convert Action from the Monk and whatever buffs/meter the bonus Tactican gives.

>Yamamoto does not have WWS
You're fucked.

Well, I'd go back and review it but I need a piss.

wtf I hate fags now

Thank AL nobody died

You stretched yourself way too thin.

KANAMI

>Rance kills Masamune at the end of Sen's route in IX
Wow, didn't see that coming.

How's 2 Star treating you? I treated it like a stepping stone to 5 Star so I don't think I've done more than one playthrough on it. What's it like? Close to 1 Star or close to 5 Star?

>No reloads on this playthrough
Just thought I'd say user. If you manage to fail 2 Star with the amount of bonuses that you've taken then your honour will never recover. You'll have to commit sengoku.

>Dousan has 1042 troops total
Did she join with that? That looks massive given your average troop size.

>Enemy Diviner, you have no ninja
That doesn't matter as much as you might think. The Homo phoenix's rape kit does not require preparation. He'd probably be fucked either way.

>one province Uesugi
I'm betting the contents of my left nut on Kenshin rape.

>Kenshin rape.
wait if you take too long does she get raped?

No cheating boy. You're the great hero Rance-sama, are you not?

fuck

i was going to delay this a bit

but now i'm scared

iiiiim cooooming kenshiiin

Game face on, bitch.

Guess who decided to come and get bullied?

>Oda flag visable over Shit's solder
Kenshin-chan get!

Right? Right?!?

Sill was the first girl in Rance's harem, so if you rearrange your sentence, it is factually accurate.

I've only ever heard Lia's voice saying Darling in Rance 03, so I imagine that all female characters have her voice actress.

First girl in a harem just means she was the easiest one to get into the harem

A girl that's better than Saber

Where is the sprite list and list of sprite-less characters for DHR?

Tsumamigui 3 OVA2 subs are out

sprite-less cameos?

valuable life tips

yeah the ones that are portrait only
like katsuko and torako

Our first (unique) casualty, Ranmaru used Light Attack on Baba.

She would still be alive if I had used all-guard on Elina....

>Ithere's body is restored in 03
>Sees that Shizuka is a kid
>Tells her that he still finds her beautiful no matter what she looks like
>Gets called a lolicon by Rance for the rest of the game
Calling it.

This seems like it could end badly.

thanks

While I don't doubt that Ithere did find her physically appealing it was her character that he found compelling.

fatty fat fat

Rance suffers from crippling low self esteem?

Are post game routes of Sengoku worth it?

What do you mean by post game routes?

The Isoroku, Kenshin and Ran routes are worth doing.

>The Isoroku and Kenshin routes are worth doing.
ftfy

Haters gonna hate, Ran route hast the best bullying

I don't hate it, but it's undeniably rushed and underdeveloped.

I don't remember all of the ones he added, but I remember toufu saying he was adding both Satsu and Akuji.
