But before we continue any further, here's a good example: I'll talk ♥♥♥♥ about how monster classes get the shaft in this version and although it makes more sense to mention this in the 'Monster Class' section of this guide, this also effects the main characters sadly. Now that we got that out of the way, let's address the morbidity obese prinny in the room:Īnd no, it's not that prinny next to Usalia (mostly because she's not even in this game :L)ĪNYWAYS, I'm of course referring to the special skills for the main characters and monster classes. Guns solely rely on the hit stat when calculating damage. Now in terms of weapon specific skills there's no trouble there, though outside swords, spears, axes, and staffs, bows and guns rely on something different:īows rely on both attack and hit stats in order to do damage, essentially the way it calculates both normal and bow specific spells uses this formula:

For instance, you know for a fact that magic spells such as Fire, Wind, and Star rely on the int stat in order to deal damage. In Disgaea PC it is easy to assume what stat orientated the special skill is. This applies for every single class/character in the game so I'm saving you the trouble of scratching your head wondering, 'Why didn't that attack do damage?' Don't get me wrong, the tutorials are fine, but throughout the entire game you don't know whether or not a special skill is attack, int or hit orientated. Now this is the biggest pet peeve I have for this game in terms of 'not doing a good job at explaining things'. You don't have to worry about healing relying on the res stat until Disgaea 2 and onward. IMPORTANT: Just gonna quickly address healing ALL HEALING SPELLS RELY ON INT, NOT RESISTANCE/RES. And for those who are worried about spoilers in terms of story, I'll try my best to keep this guide spoiler free but it's not a 100% guarantee. Keep in mind, the information that I'm going over is what I believe every player, regardless of new or old veterans, has the right to know.

so if there's something you're still confused about I strongly recommend looking at this guide since it does an excellent job going over basic mechanics and other nifty information. This guide is for people who at least finished the in-game tutorial maps and have 'some' knowledge to this game.Īlso, I'll most likely won't go over everything in terms of gameplay mechanics etc.

Now before you continue reading this guide let me get these things out of the way, I use an Xbox 360 controller to play this game since I'm more used to console controls, though keyboard and mouse SHOULD be able to do these tips and tricks I'll discuss later on. WARNING: THIS GUIDE MOSTLY COMPOSES OF WORDS AND MATH.
