Onimusha Tactics

Character Guide

Version: 1.0 released on the 13th of January 2008

This guide is EXCLUSIVELY available at GameFAQs.

Picking characters in Onimusha Tactics is also about preference. The majority
of players prefer to have a group of strong units that can do without a lot of
healing, then some of the more versatile units as backup. You may still want to
use fast-moving Ninjas if you like it better, so do not take the small comments
as written in stone.

Some of these stats may have mistakes. If you find any and know the correct
data to replace it with, please let me know.

Take note that both attack and defense are given WITHOUT anything equipped. As
you may have noticed, you can not remove a weapon altogether. Thus the weakest
weapon for the character minus its strength results in the following
statistics.

| Comment: |
| Best skills in the game and required to use, which isn't a bad thing at all.|
| Lack INT which is ok because you hardly use his skills, and the Onimusha |
| Attack is powerful enough without it. |

| Comment: |
| Earliest healer and still good later on when you receive the heal-all |
| ability. I would stick with her for the most part. Her biggest downside is |
| the HP, you really have to take care of her or she is dead within a few |
| knocks, even just one later on in the game. She doesn't gain much extra for |
| defense nor attack. |

| Skills: Lv 2: Defender Mode (8 SP) |
| Lv 7: Weakling Mode (8 SP) |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Comment: |
| Defender Mode is great if you prefer to get a little extra out of your other|
| character's defense, and still good in attacking himself. Without this vital|
| skill, plenty of my characters would have tried taking on multiple enemies |
| or a tough boss. He also boasts Weakling Mode which reduces attack, thus his|
| two skills alone can take on an army in short-term prospects. |

| Comment: |
| Not very good in my opinion, but some have found him to be a useful fighter |
| who later gets healing. I would personally say by then you have better |
| characters to replace him but he might still be a good asset for the start. |

| Comment: |
| I wouldn't use her, there are better Ninjas and they are overall not that |
| great. Moving faster than the rest of your troops is not very useful if they|
| are weak. |

| Comment: |
| Highly recommended. Without his Strongman Mode skill, most enemies would |
| take a lot longer to defeat and some bosses even close to impossible at |
| lower levels. Paralyze isn't as great but he is still a great melee |
| attacker. |

| Comment: |
| One of the better characters to pick. I still use him at the end of the game|
| even though his skills aren't too helpful. When you have an upgraded gun he |
| is dealing a lot of damage and has the added range. Several episodes have |
| foes that explode when they die, and he is the guy to take them all out. |

| Comment: |
| Great attack and HP. The weak defense is easily compensated by these two |
| factors. Highly recommended and a great tank unit you need. The main |
| downside has to be that he is slow for the larger levels and I ditched him |
| later on. He was already lagging behind and even getting in the way at |
| narrow places. If you prefer playing it safe then he is probably a good |
| character to soak up all the damage and dish out a lot of pain. |

| Comment: |
| Better than Hanpeita but not great later in the game either. Ranged units |
| are quite useful in certain situations, but I don't think you need more than|
| one and I went with the gunner almost all the time. Unless you get a really |
| good weapon for him early you will see his attack is getting weaker by each |
| episode. |

| Comment: |
| Not as good as Oboro so I do not recommend. Even though they are both |
| pretty. If you want to use a second healer early on then make it her, but |
| there is another one later that has better healing abilities so leave Oboro |
| in there for now and level up the better characters. |

| Comment: |
| He's the best Spear user, but that does not mean too much. His stats grow |
| slowly at the beginning and his defense can take a lot of damage. Later his |
| HP starts growing massively as well, but with a relatively weak attack and |
| hardly any agility you don't want to rely on him too much. INT and AGL will |
| peak at level 30 already and that peak is low. I never had too much use for |
| his skills, because getting surrounded really isn't preferred in the first |
| place. |

| Comment: |
| Most of her stats are good but the HP and lack of defense, so you need to |
| improve that before she can be of great use. I still tend to use her once |
| beefed up a bit, with some good armor for sure, even though the Straight to |
| Hell skill rarely works and the rest are close-range attacks only. Don't let|
| run too far with that great movements speed, because she will surely die |
| quickly if left alone at the front. I had her die more than a few times in |
| the game, simply because I was careless to leave her near the front. |

| Poor Defense and HP make this character unpopular. He might have a high |
| attack and intelligence, but his skills lack real usefulness to actually |
| recommend this guy. |

| Comment: |
| Slow movement but very strong up until the middle of the game. This means |
| only a handful of chapters. Soon enough the other units are usually better |
| in both and moving around more really pays off. Be aware that this is an |
| important unit for the story so you need to level him up a bit eventually. |

| Weak like most ninjas. The fast movement make them easy to get around, but |
| you tend to prefer a strong army that is compact to attack the opponents |
| together. And adding to that, if you really want to use a ninja then do not |
| make this your first choice. The stat growths are terrible. |

| Not worth having. Basically too slow for anything and the other swordsman |

| have to be one space away for this to work. Avoid. |

| Comment: |
| Tortoise Defense skill is superb to have. Unfortunately Mitsuhide joins you |
| quite late in the game. If you are willing to sacrifice another unit you |
| have been using up till now, then level Mitsuhide up a bit and half him join|
| the team. Even if you can use his attack skills twice per level, they can do|
| so major damage. I highly recommend you kick out another character in favor |
| for him, such as the slow axe user(s) you may be so fond of. Mitsuhide can |
| replace a tank character easily, and once you boost up his HP he is not as |
| vulnerable as when he joins. One of the best characters in the game. |

| To get Onniko you have to beat the Phantom Realm, all 16 levels. Worth it? |
| Well I suppose beating all 16 levels is not an easy task but still nice to |
| have unlocked. This can only be achieved late in the game. The best axe user|
| for sure, but he can also be very strong fighter for your team if you take |
| the time to level up a fair bit, because at low levels it's not too great. |
