Class: Amazon Prefered Alignment: Any Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Shoot Middle Row: 1 X Shoot Back Row: 2 X Shoot Stats: Must be evolved from a solider. In my opinion, these are a little better than a Fighter. Not much, but a bit. The unit leader must be female when a soldier is promoted in order to get an Amazon, which can turn into a number of human female classes. Class: Valkyrie Prefered Alignment: Neutral - High Attacks: Front Row: 2 X Cleave Middle Row: 1 X Cleave Back Row: 2 X Lightning Stats: Requires a good STR, VIT, and INT. The basic fighter of the girls, the Valkyrie is somewhat like a Knight - good all around character. She tends to have somewhat low HP and a not-very-great defense, but all in all, she's pretty good. Nice in the front and back rows, so being attacked from behind or from the side might not hurt too much. Class: Archer Prefered Alignment: Neutral Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Shoot Middle Row: 2 X Shoot Back Row: 2 X Shoot Stats: Requires a good STR and DEX. I love these women!! They fill the middle row nicely if you have too many Sorceresses or Wizards in the back row, and they have a *lot* of power. Terrific dexterity - they dodge attacks like crazy. Just beware of a slightly less-than- normal HP level. Class: Witch Prefered Alignment: Neutral Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Effect Magic Middle Row: 1 X Effect Magic Back Row: 2 X Effect Magic Stats: Requires a good INT, MEN, and DEX. Hmm. Witches usually don't attack - they use different spells to cause different effects. Fire and Wind spells will Paralyze one foe, Water and Bane spells will put him or her to sleep, and Earth will poison the foe. Stay away from Earth unless you're in training, as poison is not that special - deals no damage, just lowers some stats. However, notice this: A Witch tends to be stronger than a Sorceress or Wizard. Since she can't deal damage, this is useless, right? Wrong. Give her a magic book, like the Tempest or Meteor Strike, and watch the chaos insue. Mwa. Ha. Ha. Plus, she can easily be raised to lawful as well. Class: Dragon Tamer Prefered Alignment: Neutral - High Attacks: Front Row: 2 X Thrust Middle Row: 1 X Thrust Back Row: 1 X Thrust Stats: Requires a good STR, VIT, and DEX. Not bad at *all*. Reasonably good HP, nice attacking strength, and a consider- able ability to dodge attacks rather well, she's special enough on her own. However, consider this: She *also* increases the power of dragons in the party. Tell me that's not cool! Class: Sorceress Prefered Alignment: Neutral - Low Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Magic Middle Row: 1 X Magic Back Row: 2 X Magic Stats: Requires a good INT and MEN. Eeeeeeee! I love them! I love them! Notice how enthusiastic I am about most female human characters - they tend to kick more butt. A Sorceress is only a tiny, microscopic bit stronger than the wizard - it won't make a difference. However, while a Wizard has better Defense and HP, a Sorceress's resistance to magic is much better. Besides, when do you leave your Wizards and Sorceresses undefended? Very rarely. Love Sorceresses. Love them well. Class: Cleric Prefered Alignment: High Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Healing Middle Row: 1 X Healing Back Row: 2 X Healing Stats: Requires a good INT and MEN. Eh, not that good. ... ... Kidding, kidding. :P These girls are absolutely phenominal, and will probably be *the* most useful human female characters. They heal. And usually quite a bit, too. How else can you heal in the game? Sure, you can stay at a town, but often you won't have enough time before enemies strike. Answer to this problem? Clerics. They also have a pretty good magical defense, as well. Class: Freya Leveled up from: Valkyrie Prefered Alignment: High Attacks: Front Row: 2 X Cleave Middle Row: 2 X Cleave Back Row: 2 X Magic *or* 2 X Cleave Stats: Requires a good STR, VIT, and INT. Yeah, baby! 2 Attacks no matter where she is. That can be very useful. The elemental magic affects either a 2 X 2 square, or one character and then all adjacent by less, like a Siren or Archmage. Personally, I prefer them in the middle row, but the front or back both can be nice. Class: Diana Leveled up from: Archer Prefered Alignment: Neutral Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Shoot Middle Row: 2 X Shoot Back Row: 3 X Shoot Stats: Requires a good STR and DEX. Absolutely incredible. The Diana is very, very strong, has reasonable magic defense, and dodges attacks like crazy. Stick her in the back row - you can't go wrong. I love putting three Dianas in the back row. Mwa. Ha. Ha. Class: Dragon Master Leveled up from: Dragon Tamer (duh!) Prefered Alignment: Neutral Attacks: Front Row: 2 X Thrust Middle Row: 2 X Thrust Back Row: 2 X Thrust Stats: Requires a good STR, VIT, and DEX. Not bad at all! These give dragons much more strength and all around statistic benefits, but they can also hold their own alone. They have an average evade rate, pretty good power, and 2 attacks from anywhere. Stick a dragon on one side and a Freya in the front row, Dragon Master in the middle, and a Priest in the back (the three girls in a column), and you can have a very powerful group. Especially if the Priest is Aisha! Class: Siren Leveled up from: Sorceress Prefered Alignment: Low Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Magic Middle Row: 2 X Magic Back Row: 2 X Magic Plus Stats: Requires a good MEN and INT. I am in *love* with these girls! Sure, they're not as cute as the Sorceress, but not only do they get 2 attacks in the middle row (just in case you get attacked from the side or something), but in the back row, they hit a 2X2 square, or one character and all adjacent (for half damage). They have considerable magic skill, better than the Archmage's. You should see it when two Sirens or Archmages combine their magic to make a combo! *Bam*! Try three for undeniable fun! Class: Priest Leveled up from: Cleric Prefered Alignment: High Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Healing Plus Middle Row: 1 X Healing Plus Back Row: 2 X Healing Plus Stats: Requires a good INT and MEN. Drool. Drool, drool, drool. These are absolutely fantastic characters, and will probably be your most common of all the female humans. Here's her deal - you know how an Archmage or Siren, in the back row, can damage a 2 X 2 Square, or one character for normal damage then all adjacent for a little less? The Priest is like that, except, of course, she *heals* that way. And it's a *lot* of HP, too. If you have a Priest in your unit, bunch them together, if possible, to maximize effectiveness of the healing. (If you don't have a Priest, it's a good idea to spread them out more - it makes them less vulnerable to a Siren or Archmage's attack!) Of course, beware - the enemy can be very, very annoying if one of their units has a Priest. Class: Princess Leveled up from: Amazon Prefered Alignment: High Attacks: Front Row: 1 X Magic Middle Row: 2 X Magic Back Row: 2 X Magic Plus Stats: None needed! Yay! Well, she's okay. She's hard to get because it's difficult to get her items, and though she's powerful, she hardly seems worth the hassle. Just like a slightly weak Siren or Archmage, one that can be high aligned. Nothing special. Well, nothing, unless you include the fact that, if she is leading the unit, all of the characters except for her get an extra attack. Yes, you heard right. Try bunching her with two Dianas in the back row, and two Paladins in the front row, and you can seriously have 15 attacks. Plus, think of how much a Priest could heal! Or what about a Third-stage dragon, Princess, Dragon Master, and a character good in the middle or back row? That could be simply phenominal. In Bordeaux, Tenne Plains, a woman will tell you about her beautiful silk dress. On the 15th of any month (daytime only) in Melphy, in the Dardenelles Region, a man will sell you a Bolt of Silk for about 2000 goth. Head over to Billney, Tenne Plains, with a unit led by a girl, and a man will make the Pure-White Dress for you. The Battle Fan can only be found in a level's overworld, but I usually finish my game with at least three. Gules Hills has one, but you'll find others. For the Dream Tiara, go to Blue Basillica. In Clemona, you'll receive the Package for Gelda. In Boolem, Crenal Canyon, you'll be told to take it to Elle, at the Zenobian Border. You *then* go to Tristle, Soathon. Pant! Finally, you get the Letter from Gelda. Head back to Clemona, Blue Basillica, and he'll finally pass up the Dream Tiara. Thank goodness. Class: Centurion Leveled up from: Amazon Prefered Alignment: Any Attacks: Front Row: 2 X Slash Middle Row: 2 X Slash Back Row: 1 X Slash Stats: Requires a good VIT, INT, MEN, and DEX. You must have promoted about eight soldiers to Fighters or Amazons. Not bad, but not many leaders promote so many soldiers. Like I said for the guys, I can never tell the difference between female and male centurions. Blah. Although, I must admit, Europea is pretty cool...
Stuff about Liches (yes, females can turn into Liches, too!) will be conquered in the Undead section.
Cool! Send me back to the Ogre Battle 64 page!
Nah, I'm headed for the main page.
