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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
