Disgaea 6 Cheats and Tips
Super Reincarnation
Super Reincarnation is one of Disgaea 6’s new features. It allows a character to restart at level 1 while gaining Karma, a new currency that allows you to boost that character’s stats or unlock more significant boosts such as damage bonuses or movement increases. It even lets your generic units change class, allowing you to experiment with different proficiencies.
While using Super Reincarnation will make your units stronger over time, they will be left at a much lower level than before. In a series where the max level can be in the billions this can be quite serious, so definitely refrain from Super Reincarnating your whole squad at once to prevent Game Overs. Take it slowly and utilize the options in the Dark Assembly to help those units level up quicker.
Shop Upgrades
As it has always been in Disgaea, the shop upgrades when you pass a relevant motion in the Dark Assembly. It cannot be overstated how important this can be at the early stages of the game where any upgrade is appreciated. Money is really easy to come by in Disgaea 6, especially with the presence of an easily completed quest that grants you a nice 6,666,666 HL.
Veterans should also be aware that the shop items will now upgrade along with your Item World progress. If you bring a Phoenix Staff to level 22, for example, every Phoenix Staff that you buy in the shop will start at level 22. This is a great way to save time in kitting all of your units out.
Ranged Prinnies
Gone are the monster weapons of yesteryear. Monster units like Prinnies and Zombies can now equip any weapon that your human units can, and they will take on the properties of those weapons in their physical attacks even though it doesn’t make much sense.
It can be a good idea to start your Prinnies off with bows or guns as they can be quite fragile, and ranged weaponry will keep them out of the fray for the most part. This will let them contribute a bit more to a battle than simply being a meat shield — or worse, a living grenade.
Utilize Squads
The Squad Shop is unlocked quite early on in the game and you will unlock new squads occasionally as you progress. These Squads provide passive effects to each unit attached to them that can help their development along or give them more obvious bonuses. The Channeling Squad, for example, will boost the Mana of each member by a portion of the Mana that the Squad leader earns.
Don’t miss that you can upgrade these squads to be more effective — it can cost a lot of money, but it’s well worth it for a few of the squads. The squad that shares EXP among its members is great for getting newly Reincarnated units up to speed, so consider upgrading that as a point of priority.
Check Resistances
Damage types can really affect the flow of battle in Disgaea 6. If you’re ever struggling with a battle, be sure to check out the resistances of the foes you’re going up against and know the resistances of your units — even a 25% weakness will add the damage up quickly.
To add to this point, it would be a great boon to make sure your fighting team can exploit as many weaknesses as possible. You only have 10 available units per battle, so making sure they have a range of weapons equipped between them and as many elemental skills as possible is a great recipe for success.
