What's a good way to level up new characters?

I'm not very far into Disgaea yet. I've only made it to Map 1-4: Hall of Caresses, and the mid-boss keeps beating me there. I figured it's because I just bought my first new characters (3 of them, a healer, a red skull, and a brawler) and they're…

Is Intelligence useless for Clerics in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness?

I have heard that Intelligence increases spell power and that Resistance increases the power of healing spells. However when I first read this I was confused if that meant the resistence of the castor or castee. I also believed that both…

When does it make sense to transmigrate/reincarnate story characters?

I'm still fairly early on in Disgaea. I've just started Map 4, and Laharl is only level 18 or so. I see that I have the option to Transmigrate him. As I understand it, transmigration makes a lot of sense for my newly-created characters, as I…

Is an ally character killed by a Geo Chain count as an Ally Murder

What's influence about and... why does it change randomly?

I have been save-scumming myself greater counterattack in order to experiment with the effectiveness of bribes in the Assembly. However, at some point, I didn't have enough Influence to even start the vote. I thought I had loaded the wrong file,…

I lost to Mid-Boss. Do I want to proceed with NG+?

Losing to Vyers counts as a bad "end" in Disgaea, and lets you start the game over in NG+ as soon as 1-4. Is this something that you actually want? This comment mentions something about a new character, but I'm back to 1-4 and I haven't really…

What is the most efficient way to get new characters up to speed?

You play through the tutorial and chapter 1, and it's easy. Then you play through chapter 2 and you start really having to have fire magic, so you create fire mages, but they're level 1, and you're level 6, so you go back and play the tutorial a few…

What does it mean when people are shown in green in the hospital?

I overcame Eternal Winter... though only barely. Hell Pepper spam is bullshit. Anyway, this is my hospital bill, and Laharl is in... green? What's up with that?

Is it possible to predict whether using a temporarily moved ally as a proxy target for an enemy that isn't there yet will work?

In Disgaea, there are several uses for a temporarily moved ally. The one of interest for this question is using them as a proxy target for an attack on an enemy that isn't there yet because an earlier attack in the combo is a fist special that will…

Do Team Attacks and Counter Attacks count toward weapon skill?

As per the title, when your character counterattacks, or is part of a Team Attack, do they gain skill in their weapon? If it makes a difference, I am playing the PC version currently.

At the end of Primordial Soup, Flonne angers the seraphs. Can this be prevented?

The Seraphs go after Flonne for "killing" a human, except the human is in my party, alive, well, at full HP, with new equipment and a couple pupils too to boot. (Okay, the pupils are a work in progress.) I tried replaying the level without having…

How long to beat Disgaea?

I'm wondering if I've got the right strategy at all. There seems to be an awful lot of (admittedly fun) grinding and no visible end in sight to get to complete the story. How long, rough average, in hours, does it take to beat Disgaea? Are the…
