*** [[{{Sadist}} Fiend Medusa]], one of Kaybliss' top lieutenants, is a cruel PsychoLesbian who enjoys raping women to death. In ''Rance X'', she was put in charge of invading the Magic Kingdom of Zeth and freeing Camilla (who was captured in ''Rance VI''). [[OrcusOnHisThrone Leaving]] most of the legwork to the Great Monster General Zedong, Medusa hijacks Zeth's Magic Vision network to broadcast her brutal rapes and murders of kidnapped Zethan women in order to demoralize the populace and its defenders. Should Rance take too long to defeat her, [[spoiler:King Gandhi and his assistants Kaoru and Wichita try to assassinate her but fail due to her invincibility field, and she livestreams their grisly demise to the nation, [[DespairEventHorizon pushing]] his daughter Magic into making a DealWithTheDevil. Rance also finds out that she had kidnapped and raped [[TheWoobie Rizna]] to the point of catatonia, such that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he immediately executes her]] upon defeating her, even after she tried bargaining for her life with sex.]]
*** [[MookCommander Great Monster General]] [[GeneralRipper LeMay]] in ''Rance X'' [[AbsoluteXenophobe absolutely hates humans]] and would love nothing more than [[KillEmAll to exterminate them entirely]], even against his masters' [[LoopholeAbuse schemes]] to avoid giving the Hero System too much power. He employs inefficient [[KillItWithFire scorched earth]] tactics in his invasion of Helman in order to maximize human casualties, and relies on flying monsters to [[DeathFromAbove drop bombs over enemy territory]], regardless of strategic importance. Should he be driven to a corner, he always goes down DefiantToTheEnd, trying to [[TakingYouWithMe take as many humans with him]], unlike his fellows who can suffer humiliating defeats. If Rance does not personally defeat him, [=LeMay=] leads a final charge to drop the [[FantasticNuke m Bomb]] on Helman's capital, but is foiled by [[WarriorPrince Prince Patton]] and [[TimeAbyss Hunty Kalar]].

** Aburako/Oily Girl Dousan from ''Sengoku Rance'' is a [[MauveShirt minor recruitable character]] that can be recruited rather early. Like most generic units, she doesn't have any unique interactions, but is popular for her cute appearance, silly battle quotes about oil and having the useful Action Transfer/Convert Action ability for troop battles, which lets her spend an action to grant an ally an additional action even if they have already used all of theirs, [[GameBreaker allowing certain units to use powerful abilities that cost all remaining actions multiple times per battle]].[[note]]Most monks can use Action Transfer in solo battles, but not troop battles where Dousan can. Also, the NewGamePlus bonus character Makotsudono Takehiko has Action Transfer 2, but it's considered inferior as it costs 2 of his actions to replenish 2 actions of an ally, as they would usually waste the extra action.[[/note]] In 2005, Alicesoft even made an AprilFoolsDay (fake) announcement for a [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/alicesoft/images/1/11/Doussan-Full-Body.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20201117234604 spin-off]] about her.
** In ''Sengoku Rance'', Tacticians tend to be this especially with the Battle Rating Down 2 skill (spend 1 action to push the battle rating by a flat amount), although they're rather [[MagikarpPower weak early on with low stats or weak skills]]. This allows you to win extremely difficult fights on harder difficulties by stacking the Initial Battle Rating passive on other units, stalling out enemies via tanking or action removal, while using Battle Rating Down to force your battle rating over the halfway mark for a rather painless victory. Otherwise, enemy troop counts on higher difficulties will vastly outnumber yours such that you gain barely any or even ''lose'' battle rating by attacking them.
*** On a lesser extent, units with OneHitKill abilities like Ninjas' Assassinate 2[[note]]the NewGamePlus-only Ninja Gekkou has the strongest variant, Assassinate+, which guarantees a kill on any unit that has expended all actions[[/note]] are also priority units, having a chance to instantly remove obnoxiously large Foot Soldier/Ashigaru walls or priority targets. But, with the [[LuckBasedMission random nature]] of such skills, players will expect a lot of SaveScumming as the success rate scales to the difference in unit sizes between the attacker and target, and harder difficulties massively inflate enemy troop count. Apart from Ninjas, there's Musketeers like [[ColdSniper Yuzuhara Yuzumi]] or generics with the rare Commander Snipe skill, and [[ImpoverishedPatrician Yamamoto Isoroku]] after learning the Whirlwind shot ability.
*** Cavalry are also considered the best offensive melee class, as they can strike vulnerable backliners unlike Samurai, Monks or Musketeers, while possibly having strong skills such as Battle Rating Up (less efficient version of Battle Rating Down), or Onrush (2 action attack that removes an action from the target). The unique Cavalry characters, [[BaldOfAwesome Yamagata Masakage]] and [[BloodKnight Baba Shouen]] are also very strong units, but their availability is limited if you don't take their house bonus.
** Individually in ''Sengoku Rance'', [[BadassNormal Urza]], [[WorldsStrongestMan Kenshin]] and [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Natori]] are often priority units in most playthroughs, who you can also get early on but remain relevant throughout the game, especially with their high level caps that make them strong in dungeons/bossfights.
*** Urza can be gotten fairly early through the initial satisfaction bonuses that you'll easily get conquering the weak territories surrounding you at the start of the game. As a member of the aforementioned Tactician class, she also boasts high starting stats and her Accurate Shots ability she can unlock trivializes many battles, doing ScratchDamage to all enemies, interrupting preparations while ''also removing one of their actions'' at the cost of all her remaining actions. Couple that with a Monk who has the Convert Action skill and Urza will ensure the enemy never gets a chance to act.
*** Kenshin can be gotten rather early if you push through the northeast, and despite being a dangerous adversary, players can [[InstantWinCondition instantly win]] any battle against her by deploying her [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim crush]] [[NominalHero Rance]] against her, causing her to retreat out of lovesickness. What makes her dangerous is not just her high combat ability, but her unique passive ability removes an action from all enemies ''at the start of battle'', making her as dangerous an ally as she was an enemy. Coupled with Urza, it's possible to nullify all the enemy's actions at the start of battle.
*** Natori, leader of the Miko Institute, can also be gotten fairly close to Kenshin, possessing just a single territory but rather strong forces. She possess the [[HerdHittingAttack Miko Storm 2]] ability, which is a significant upgrade from [[MysteriousWaif Fuuka]]'s Miko Storm 1, and is the only Miko unit that possesses this ability. After a very short preparation time, compared to an Onmyouji/Diviner's Shikigami attack, Natori removes 30% of every enemy's troop count, inflicting a massive amount of damage against the enemy at the cost of all her actions. [[note]]The monk Seigan has a similar ability, but usually gets recruited very late into the game, and his preparation time is longer than Natori's. Kobayakawa Chinu also has the Poison ability which removes 50% of every enemy's current troop count, but she [[PlotlineDeath dies]] early in majority of routes.[[/note]]
*** [[{{Kitsune}} Omachi]], the strongest of Dokuganryuu Masamune's [[BattleHarem wives]], is widely considered the strongest Onmyouji/Diviner. Instead of default Shikigami attack, Omachi can instantly strike all enemies with [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]], or use the Large Lightning ability that functions like a faster and stronger Shikigami attack, but requiring 2 Shuriken attacks to interrupt. The only issue is that she's only available after annihilating her unit (no easy task, even by savescumming assassinations), defeating the One-Eyed House, recruiting Masamune and character clearing him, if you didn't take the One-Eyed House NewGamePlus bonus.
*** While most Foot Soldiers/Ashigaru are BoringButPractical [[StoneWall defenders]], [[BloodKnight Mouri Teru]] is usually considered the best if not one of the best, being available mid-game when fighting the Mouri house. She starts with the [[TheSpiny Counterattack 2]] ability, which can inflict painful losses on any unit attacking her in melee. If you give her the item that increases counterattack damage, watch as enemies quickly [[HoistByHisOwnPetard push the battle rating in your favor]] just by attacking her. [[note]][[TheAce Shimazu Yoshihisa]] has slightly better starting stats, but is only available in very few routes and much later than Teru.[[/note]]
*** [[NinjaMaid Kikkawa Kiku]] equipped with the Guts Armor can solo defensive battles with her Ninja Art: Leaves Hiding, which makes her NighInvulnerable such that the enemy is unlikely to do enough damage to push your battle rating below the halfway mark.
*** On a lesser extent, units with OneHitKill abilities like Ninjas' Assassinate 2[[note]]the NewGamePlus-only Ninja Gekkou has the strongest variant, Assassinate+, which guarantees a kill on any unit that has expended all actions[[/note]] are also priority units, having a chance to instantly remove obnoxiously large Foot Soldier/Ashigaru walls or priority targets.

** Kunagi and Kuga in ''Daibanchou'' are both insanely broken units. Kunagi, while having low health and stamina, has a special ability that guarantees that she'll dodge the attacks of all but the strongest enemies, and will generally avoid them as well, making her functionally invincible. Kuga, on the other hand, is essentially a slightly weaker version of Rouga with a mid-range attack instead of a short one and many more type advantages, which combined with his cheap special move that deals twice as much his regular damage and large stamina pool make him capable of one-shotting practically every enemy in the game.

** In ''Sengoku Rance'', generic characters have a varying amount of utility as filler until you get stronger unique units, but you'd be hardpressed to recruit generics that aren't [[StoneWall Ashigaru]] or [[SupportPartyMember Tacticians]], because unique characters are often stronger, and these two classes don't have many strong unique characters until later in the game. Occasionally, you might find a Diviner with [[SingleUseShield All Guard Shikigami]] or a Musketeer with [[OneHitKill Commander Snipe]], but you can't always count on finding them.
*** For more experienced players, the age and [[GameFavoredGender gender]] of your recruited generics becomes another deciding factor, as Rance can progress the affection of young, female generics to "Love", character clearing them and scoring you endgame points. Young male generics aren't too terrible as you can eventually unlock the Sex Change Temple in the Morocco province, allowing you to [[GenderBender change their gender]] so they can be cleared, otherwise males generics will always be stuck at "Trust" and cannot be cleared. Old generics, male or female, would just be be passed over.
*** However, the worst unit type in ''Sengoku Rance'' would be the Animal class, which despite having very high troop counts (also meaning they have high national cost), are pathetic in battle ''and'' they don't recover their troops between turns, forcing you to waste lots of gold reinforcing their inevitable casualties.

** For the biggest series-wide example, Rizna Lanfbitt was just an average citizen of Zeth and the childhood friend of its future king, until she was trapped in a PocketDimension for [[AndIMustScream over 30 years]], which caused her [[SoBeautifulItsACurse beautiful]] appearance to [[OlderThanTheyLook stop aging]]. A [[NiceGirl gentle]] but naive person, she was constantly taken advantage of and sexually abused by other people who also got themselves trapped in the same dimension, which requires at least one person remaining inside, that her body even became hypersensitive to arousal. Barely remaining sane with the [[InterspeciesFriendship companionship]] of the friendly [[ActionBomb Puchi Hanny]] Kagekatsu, she learnt how to defend herself and eventually encountered Rance, whom she resolved to PayEvilUntoEvil and finally escape. Yet, her kind nature got the better of her again as she was reluctant to sacrifice Sill, but Rance managed to escape with her and Sill regardless. Things started to look up for her when she returned to Zeth, being placed in her now grown-up childhood friend King Gandhi's care and acquiring medication to control her arousal, also helping Rance on several occasions to repay him for his help, who predictably takes advantage of her each time to have sex with her. Unfortunately, in ''Rance X'', [[spoiler:she was canonically kidnapped by the [[PsychoLesbian Fiend Medusa]] who violently raped and brutalized her, with Rance finding her too late in a badly wounded and catatonic state. She would remain in intensive care for the remainder of the campaign, with little hope of recovery. In Part 2, Rance, [[HeroicSacrifice having offered to become the next Archfiend]] to free Miki and let her and Kentarou return home, kidnaps Rizna and [[PetTheDog attempts to heal her]] by [[EmergencyTransformation making her a Fiend]].

While this isn't that bad, the arena size of 400 means that the unit attacking him needs to have 400 troops or less in order to damage him while Nobunaga himself has over 2000 troops and is incredibly damaging. At the same time, Nobunaga sends out his two ninja assassins Gekkou and Shinobu to attack Leazas, causing them to occasionally permanently kill off one of your units between turns. One of these units can be Rance, which results in an automatic game over, making it an indirect TimedMission.

** '''Xavier''', the BigBad of ''Sengoku Rance'', is a Fiend who was sealed for millenia in the country of Nippon, with no one else even bothering to help him at the time due to his bad reputation. Thanks to the work of one of his Apostles, he is unsealed from his prison and quickly takes control of the ill Oda Nobunaga. As the Lord of the Oda House, he proceeds to burn down multiple Tenshi temples for their role in sealing him, and manipulates Rance in order to get back his powers. Eventually, after being caught by Nobunaga's sister Kouhime, he orders her to be raped for days until Rance quickly intervenes, triggering an attack on the temple where Xavier was hiding, ending with the death of Nobunaga. After several days of recovering, he forces the Shimazu House to do his bidding and acting as his commanders due to having his daughter, Shimazu princess Kurohime as his hostage (while also torturing her whenever he gets angry). His utter hatred of Nipponese people escalated to the point he unleashed Forbidden Youkai in order to get rid of them, and even threatening to end the entire country by detroying the bridge who keeps it afloat. Despite being rendered DeaderThanDead at the end of ''Sengoku Rance'', the scars he left on the country were still remembered by his many victims.
