ABOUT THIS FAQ...
I will cover the characters evolution, with all their moves
and at which level they are learnt and some little things about
this game that may be useful.

THE CHARACTERS :
STATS RATING:
I will note each character on these critters:
attack power
HP value
MP value
Speed
Special's usefullnes
here is the correspondance of the notes:
A:strong
B:medium
C:weak
D:it's a shame!
I've tested all characters in Mizuki's scenario, because Amakusa's
is too short to exploit a character potential, and to gain all
it's special moves.At the end of Amakusa's scenario, your characters
should be around level 28, and some characters become very powerful only
after that point (I think rimururu is useless in Amakusa's scenario).
NOTE:The skills's name I used are for most character a translation of
the japanese name (it's easier to remember "top secret heaven crusher"
than "Hiougi TenhaDankuRetsuZan", don't you think?).

HAOMARU
begin at level 5 with secret cyclone slash level 1
and secret crescent moon slash level 1
MY OPINION ON HAOMARU:
Attack power:B
HP value:A
MP value:C
Speed:C-
Special's usefullnes:C
Well, Haomaru is kinda...disapointing.The damage he deals to ennemies are
very random, and until he begins to learn his final moves, you will be
disapointed by him.His problem is that he begin with his powerfulest move,
and all the moves he gain later are weaker than his kogetsuzan (crescent
moon flash) and the damage this move deals to ennemies are VERY random
(it is because multiple hit moves tend to do so).
He learn his all-enemy hitting attack at the end of the game, but when he
has learned them, he will be devastating.
One of the advantage of playing with him is his VERY HIGH HP, if you put
him in front of your party, he will contains all ennemies attacks without
need for healing (exept for long battle of course).But there is a
counterpart for his high HP, he is one of the slower character of
this game (not as slow Kyoshiro or Charlotte, but most ennemy will act
before he does).
So if you want to use him, just bring another strong warrior in your
team, just in case (you cannot rely on him too much).

UKYO
Begin at level 5 with concealed sabre heat flash level 1 and concealed
sabre haze hack level 1.
MY OPINION ON UKYO:
Attack power:A
HP value:C
MP value:A
Speed:B-
Special's usefullnes:A
Ukyo is the strongest character of the game, simply because of his
concealed sabre haze hack (it deals more damage than is super move!).
he can kill any normal monster in one blow, and because of his high MP,
you can use it as much as you want! (his tsubame six flash is even more
powerful, but cost too much). His concealed sabre swallow swipe is
very effective against multiple ennemies but cost too much MP.
Don't use his status changing moves, because strangely, Ukyo's rarely
work.
But his speed and power have a drawback, he has VERY low HP! he
has the worse HP value of the game (after Rimururu). So try to add a
strong warrior in the front rank (like Haomaru or Kyoshiro) if you
want to use him.

NAKORURU
begin at level 5 with kamui rimuse lvl 1, maiden's prayer lvl 1, shichikapu
etu, and epunkine shikite.
MY OPINION ON NAKORURU:
Attack power:B-
HP value:D
MP value:A+
Speed:B+
Special's usefullnes:A
Nakoruru is faaaaaaaaar more powerful than I expected. She learns her
moves very quickly and she has lots! If you don't know which pet you should
use, know this: they have EXACTLY the same attacks and the damage are very
similar, it is just a matter of style (shikuruu is cool don't you think ?).
She has high MP (the highest value of the game) and her moves don't cost
a lot of MP to use, so she will last very long during boss fights.
She'll become really powerful when she learns her kamui rimuse lvl 2,
and her super moves are really powerful. She is fast but like most fast
characters, she has a ridiculous HP value, so put her in the back.
NOTE: Ukyo, Rimururu and Nakoruru has praticaly the same speed, so they
team up very well.

CHAM CHAM
begin at level 3 with boomerang gust buster lvl 3
MY OPINION ON CHAM CHAM:
Attack power:A
HP value:A
MP value:D-
Speed:A
Special's usefullnes:C
Cham cham is one of the powerfulest character in the game because she
is the only very fast character with high HP and attack power. But
this has a drawback, most of her moves miss the ennemies praticaly
all the times! Her boomerang attacks are very powerful, but most ennemies
avoid it everytime you use it, the same for pakupaku's first two moves and
her sonic meow. So the moves you will use everytime are the icon 4's moves,
but there is another problem...Cham cham has the worst HP value of the game!
So you must be careful and not use these moves against each ennemy because
they cost too much for her.
One strategy to use with Cham cham is to confuse or paralyze an ennemy with
another character (paralyzed and confused ennemies can't avoid attacks) and
use her boomerang attacks.
NOTE: Galford is the best partner for cham cham, because he is the only one who
can act before her and his plasma break paralyze an ennemy with 100 % chance.
So paralyze an ennemy and attack him with her boomerang gut buster to economize
your MP.

KYOSHIRO
Begin at level 5 with Kyoshiro demon boogie
MY OPINION ON KYOSHIRO:
Attack power:B
HP value:A+
MP value:C
Speed:D-
Special's usefullnes:C
Kyoshiro works like Haomaru: VERY high HP and most of his move deals
random damage (mutliple hit moves tend to do so).
He deals less damage than Haomaru (until he learns his
ultra powerful "ketsuniku no honoh"), but he has insanely high HP
(the highest HP value of the game!). Put him in front of your team during
battle and let him take all the damage until his POW bar is filled
to the max (his super move is one of the stronger of the game, and hit
all ennemies).
His principal weakness is his speed (he is the slower character, by far!).
He is one of the only character that possess an all-ennemy hitting status
changing move (and Kyoshiro's really cool).
But even if he isn't one of the usefuler character of this game, Kyoshiro
is a strong member to add to your team and will be really useful against
strong bosses (like HAON).

RIMURURU
Begin at level 3 with konru memu level 1
MY OPINION ON RIMURURU:
Attack power:D
HP value:D to B
MP value:A
Speed:B
Special's usefullnes:B-
Rimururu is a nightmare to play with.During the first half of the game,
she will be USELESS, never dealing more 10 HP damage to the weak ennemies.
She'll begin to be usefull when she gains her rupushi nishi and later her
upun opu lvl 2, but you will need to wait until the second half of the
game in order to have these moves.
You will need a LOT of patience if you want her in your team but she's
really worth it because when she learns these powerful moves, she become
one of the best character of this game! Basically, she works like a faster
Charlotte (she can clean the screen in one move).
As you can see, she has a lot of spells, but she learns them very slowly.
Don't forget this: if you want to add Rimururu to your party, make sure
you have a strong warrior to compensate her lack of offensive power during
the begining of the game.

**************************************************************************
GALFORD
begin at level 5 with plasma blade level 1 and rush dog
MY OPINION ON GALFORD:
Attack power:B
HP value:B
MP value:B
Speed:A+
Special's usefullnes:B
Galford is one of the fastest character, but he is weak physically
at the begining of the game.His HP and MP values are both high so he
can be used as a warrior or as a backup character.
He become very powerul when he learn his shadow copy which double all
the damage inflicted on ennemies.His skills are not usefull because
of their powers, but because most of his specials can paralyze ennemies
and he learn them early in the game.When you combine shadow copy with
poppy's skills, he can do as much damage as Genjuro, but at a lower cost!
The only problem with Galford is his lack of powerful specials that hit
all ennemies(he has only two: plasma blade lvl 3 that can easily be
dodged by most ennemies and his mega rush dog cannot be aquired
until late in the game).
ICON 1
- plasma blade lvl 1 10 MP (paralyze ennemy)(begin with it)

**************************************************************************
CHARLOTTE
begin at level 5 with splash fount
MY OPINION ON CHARLOTTE:
Attack power:B
HP value:A-
MP value:C-
Speed:D
Special's usefullnes:B
Charlotte seems pretty weak during the begining of the game,
mostly because of her low MP and because her first special
cost 25 MP and can be weak on some ennemy (you will see her MP
melt like snow under sun). But when she gain her mega splash fount
through training, she'll become a bulldozer (this move do pratically
has much damage as her super move!).After she gains some levels,
she will be unbeatable.
Most of her special moves can hit all ennemies and will clean the
screen of all ennemies after the quick characters weaken them.
But Charlotte's principal problem is her speed...she is incredibly
slow! fast character can act two times before she does! So the principal
stategy when using her is to weaken all ennemies with the other two
characters (only Kyoshiro is slower than her) and finish them
with one special.
Another method is to simply wait for her turn and use mega splash fount
(it can kill most ennemies in one blow).

**************************************************************************
REON
begin at level 14 with whirlwind disc level 1/2/3 and sword uppercut
level 1.
MY OPINION ON REON:
Attack power:C
HP value:B-
MP value:C
Speed:C
Special's usefullnes:A
Reon is one of the most usefull character in the game,even if most
people think the contrary. She has a lot of special moves, and they are
very diversified. She join you with an all-ennemy hitting spell and
her powerfulest move against a single ennemy (sword uppercut).But
the reason why she is so usefull is not her attack power, it is
because she can heal the entire party, boost speed, confuse or
paralyze all ennemies and all that kind of stuff.
I think you've understand: Reon can do almost anything, she is the
perfect backup character.
Reon is not a warrior so avoid to use her to attack ennemies, because
her moves cost very much MP and she don't have many so don't waste
them! Because of her speed, she will act before most ennemies so you
can use this advantage to confuse or paralyze all ennemies at the
beginning of the battle!
NOTE: if you combine Reon's speed boosting spell and Rimururu's speed
lowering spell (it work even against bosses, but to see the effects you
must use it 3-4 times), you will act 5-6 time before most ennemies does!

GENJURO
begin at level 5 with cherry blossom slice level 1 and triple death hack
level 1
MY OPINION ON GENJURO:
Attack power:A+
HP value:A
MP value:A
Speed:C+
Special's usefullnes:A
Ok, Genjuro travels alone, but he really don't need any help because he
is the second strongest character in the game (after with Ukyo).
He is strong, resistant and fast enough to strike before most ennemies.
He has high HP and MP values, so you can use his specials as much as you want.
His triple death hack and his lightning wings can kill most ennemies in one
blow and his reverse five flash can kill the Ambrosia in two blow.
if you don't want to travel alone, just play mizuki's scenario (reon is
the only one who can join him).There is nothing more to say, as he is
one of the strongest character of the game.

During Mizuki's scenario, two special characters joins you:
BIZUKI
Join you at level 50 with all her moves
MY OPINION ON BIZUKI:
Attack power:B
HP value:C
MP value:A
Speed:D
Special's usefullnes:B
Bizuki is really powerful, too bad she don't really join you. She has the
same stats as Ukyo, but she is as slow as Kyoshiro. She don't has many HP
so but her in the back. Her moves are powerfuls and impressives, but they
cost lots of MP to use (she don't have any super moves, that suck).
Her "pet" is really cool don't you think?
There is nothing more to say, because you will control her only through
one dungeon.

Special's usefullnes:A
Reon's ancestor has exactly the same stats and moves than Reon, exept
she don't have the moves learned by trainning (the three super and mega
whirlwind disc).A good point for her is that she has her lvl 3 sword
uppercut when she joins you (Reon may not have learned it at this point
of the game), so you can exterminate ennemies in mass with her.

STATS BOOSTING ITEMS:
During your quest, you will surely find stat boosting items (you can
recognize them because the item's description will be ???????????).
Use them immediatly after you get them! If you play with character
with a big handicap like Rimururu (HP) or Kyoshiro (MP), it will
helps a lot!
***********
THE MAGIC BUTTON:
When you've completed a scenario many times, there is nothing more
frustrating than listening to japanese bla-bla you alredy heard
100 times (and you don't understand anyway).
so you can press the X button to skip these dialogue.
***********
THE BLACKSMITHS:
You'll find blacksmiths in most town.They can strenghten and add element
to your weapons.The first icon use is to add element to your weapon, the
elements are shown in this order:
FIRE ICE THUNDER WIND HOLY EVIL NONE
The second icon use is to forge and improve your weapon. Each level up
require 10 more gold than the last time you did it (if you need 60 buck
to forge your weapon to level 5 to 6, you will need 70 to forge it to
level 6 to 7).
Don't forget to upgrade your weapons each time you enter a new town.
***********
TRAINING PLACES:
Sometimes certain person will train your party to improve your stats or
to teach you a special tech.You will not gain any experience point by
winning the fight and you will not lose the HP/MP you used during battle
(if you entered the fight with 220/550 HP and 130/213 MP, you will keep
the same amount of HP/MP after the battle, no matter how many you used
during the fight).
I've listed all the training point I know, but if you know some more, E-mail
me and I will update the list (but I don't think there's any more).

*IN MIZUKI'S SCENARIO:*
***********************
1-NORTH OF BEPPU
Where?: simply talk to the old man.
The fight: 2 monks who can poison a single character or mute your entire
party.they are very powerful for that point of the game so you
will mostly want to level up your characters before that.
The strategy I used was to make my fastest character use the
item that fill your power bar to the max on the next character
and use his super move.
Result: your stats will be raised
***********
2-BEIJING
Where?: Wanfu's dojo after you beat the boss in the castle.
The fight: You will fight Wanfu(he is very simple to beat).simply use
your most powerful specials.
Result: you will learn your second super move.
***********
3-FRANCE
Where?: talk to the man dressed in black on the inn's second floor.
The fight: Sieger will be your opponent and as Wanfu, he is rather weak.
Result: your character will learn a special move (generally it's a
very powerful move)
***********
4-GREEN HELL
Where?: Talk to the guy at top left corner of the town.
The fight: This time, you will fight two bears who can paralyze your
entire party.But at this point of the game, your party
should be strong enough to defeat them without problems.
Result: your stats will be raised
***********
5-KYO
Where?: Enter the three level tower in SOUTH KYO.
The fight: On the first floor, you will fight 5 trees. Just confuse or
paralyze them all with Reon and the fight will end quickly.
On the second floor you will fight three blue priest (be
careful they can confuse your characters).
When you reach the third floor, the priest will talk to you
and you will fight Gaira (he is weak, don't worry).
Result: you will learn your third super move.
