Once you get your head around this beast of a game, you'll find an irresponsibly large selection of systems and strategies and stuff to do. Have fun with it, experiment with different classes, and don't worry about the downsides-there are none.Īnd really, that's the correct approach for Disgaea 5 as a whole. With a little time and planning, you can make any character you can imagine. And by the time you start worrying about that, you'll have access to insane grinding spots that will make leveling new characters a cinch. If you aren't happy with the way a character turns out, you can always reincarnate them or just make another one. You're going to reincarnate (or respec) all your characters at some point anyway, so don't obsess over min-maxing in the early game. While we're talking about building a party, I should mention that it is impossible to irreparably screw up your party or any one character in Disgaea 5. Use them in combination with your favorite generic classes to build a balanced party with access to melee and ranged attacks, a mix of attack magic, some support magic, and at least one good healer. These are your go-to go-getters who will carry you through the story and into the post-game.Īnd don't be afraid to use the main characters-they're really good. You can only use 10 characters in battle, so instead of spreading your resources across dozens of characters, I recommend building a souped-up A-Team of around 10 characters. It's fine to have a bunch of different characters in your party, but don't try to keep them all geared and leveled-at least, not at first. You'll end up using most of them at some point, if only to unlock new classes, but that doesn't mean you need to use all of them regularly, nor should you. Get these classesĪpart from the core cast of main characters, there are dozens of unlockable "generic" classes in Disgaea 5, most of which have male and female variants. It's easy math: level 50 enemy + level 50 enemy = level 100 enemy. Enemies can be picked up and thrown as well, and if you throw an enemy into another enemy, they'll combine and form a single, stronger enemy worth more experience. You can also throw allies to cover more ground in one turn, clear holes in some maps, or reach elevated platforms. Throwing: to build a tower, you can simply command your allies to walk onto the same square, or you can pick them up and throw them onto that square. Attacking as a tower has the added advantage of distributing experience evenly among every unit in the tower, which can help with leveling. Towered allies have access to devastating tower attacks, and the more you use them, the more tower attacks you'll unlock. Towering: you can deploy up to 10 characters at once in Disgaea 5, and you can also stack those 10 characters on top of each other to form a tower. Whether you plan on using them as fodder or as teammates, be sure to capture enemies when you can. If you want, you can also gear them up and use them in combat. You can interrogate captured enemies to earn special items, or you can put them to work in other squads or your Netherworld Research teams. Here are three maneuvers you can and should weave into your strategies:Ĭapturing: once you unlock the Capture Squad in the Netherworld, you'll have the option to capture enemies instead of killing them. But to get the most out of Disgaea 5's combat system, and to stand a chance in end-game battles, you're going to need to switch things up. Easy, right? And yeah, those basics will get you pretty far. You choose your dudes, you move your dudes, you attack some dudes.
At first blush, Disgaea 5 plays like a pretty typical turn-based, grid-based JRPG.
