Obsessed with ranger shows, it lets everyone know it's better than Rudinn.

**Rudinn Ranger** is a Darkner enemy in the Card Kingdom, that is encountered in Card Castle. They are the Card Castle variant of Rudinn and represent the Diamond playing card suit.

## Profile

### Appearance

Rudinn Ranger is identical to a regular Rudinn, except with a crimson color scheme and a bigger knife. Their helmet, unlike Rudinn's, has a small visor, obstructing their face.

### Personality

In contrast with regular Rudinns, Rudinn Rangers are loyal and serious, obeying to King's order to attack the party. They seem to share similar interests with Susie, such as "*ham sandwiches*," and favor compliments.

## Main Story

### Chapter 1

After a brief conversation, the party pursues Lancer, and numerous Rudinn Rangers appear to intercept. They chase after and target Kris with scattered diamond bullets, then with rows as Kris gets closer to the castle. As the party successfully reaches the entrance, Lancer shuts the gate. Rudinn Rangers surround and knock out the party before Ralsei can reason with them.

As Susie finds Lancer, a Rudinn Ranger is listening to Lancer's orders. When she calls Lancer out, the Rudinn Ranger flees.

Rudinn Rangers later appear as regular enemies on Floor 1F.

### Chapter 2

Rudinn Rangers are recruited to Castle Town by default. One can be found near Party Dojo with a Rudinn. They are thankful to Kris, and declares the day "*National Ham Sandwich Day of Independence!*"

Rudinn Rangers can be placed at tables in the Café for unique interactions. They always smile at Kris and refer to them as "Boss." If paired with a Rudinn, the Rudinn Ranger requests for a triple "*Starfait*."

## In Battle

### Attacks

Rudinn Rangers slices toward the SOUL, sending out a pinkish colored, knife shaped laser projectile. Rudinn Ranger moves up and down during the attack, changing the direction of where the projectiles are coming from.

### Strategy

* Ordering Susie to compliment the Rudinn Ranger allows it to be spared.
* If the Rudinn Ranger is spared 4 times, it becomes spareable.
* If Kris tries to convince the Rudinn Ranger that fighting is bad, it becomes Tired, allowing Ralsei to Pacify it.
* If Kris tries to convince the Rudinn Ranger that fighting is bad twice, it becomes spareable.
* If the Rudinn Ranger is reduced to 85 HP or lower, it becomes Tired.
