Combat – Basic Actions
The basics of combat of Disgaea 7 are “Move +1 Action”. Move close to the enemy to “attack” or run far away to “heal”, control your characters according to the situation!
Attack
The main character, Fuji, is the most reliable at the beginning. Deploy your ally characters to support Fuji’s attack!
Special Attacks
Magic is useful in many ways, such as striking an opponent’s weak point or attacking from a distance.
Lifting & Throwing
In Disgaea 7, you can lift adjacent characters and objects. Moreover, by “throwing” them from a lifted state, you can move long distances or climb to high places! Use the useful techniques “Lifting” and “Throwing” unique to Disgaea 7 to take advantage in battle!
Use a wide variety of techniques to face your enemies!
In addition to normal attacks, Disgaea 7 is full of powerful attacks! Use these attacks to inflict massive damage!
Coordinated Attacks
When two allies are close to each other and attack, there is a certain probability that a “Coordinated Attack” will be activated and the damage you deal to your opponent will be increased!
Weapon Techniques
As you continue to use your weapon, you will learn more and more powerful techniques called “Weapon Techniques”! The stronger the technique, the more SP (skill points) you need to use it.
Deka-MAX
A new element was also introduced in Disgaea 7. The size of the character becomes so big that it extends off the screen and can attack anywhere in the field and over a wide area.
Will you be able to earn a lot of experience…!?“
Base
Let’s prepare for the next battle at the base!
Fuji and his team’s base of operations are the Demon World Ship. From here, they will set out for various destinations in Disgaea 7.
There are various facilities in the Demon Ship, which will be released as the story progresses. Prepare for battle by purchasing equipment, scouting and strengthening your allies, and more.
Facilities
– General Store: Purchase various items in Disgaea 7 by spending the in-game currency HL.
– Demon World Hospital: Recover characters’ HP and SP. When your Hospital use counter reaches a certain number, you can turn the Gachapon to win wonderful prizes.
– Dark Assembly: Do various things by spending mana to pass proposals.
– Item Shop: Explore Item Worlds, upgrade items, and perform Item Reincarnation.
– Quests: Receive quest requests, reports, and rewards.
– Data: Check various gameplay-related records.
– Ranked Battles: Challenge ranked battles.
– Dimension Guide: Choose which Demon world you want to visit and challenge stages.
– Scout Shop: Recruit or dismiss generic characters.
– Skill Shop: Upgrade special skills and learn Evilities.
– Item World Survey Team: If you deposit an item, you can automatically advance through its Item World.
– Squad Shop: Assign characters to a Squad. Belonging to a Squad has various benefits.
– Juice Bar: Distribute accumulated EXP.
– Special Content: Apply downloadable content.
Don’t worry, they will teach you how to use the facilities when they open! Later on, we may have new facilities that you don’t see here…!”
Preparation at the base
Create and strengthen your army to your liking!
Once the scout shop becomes available, you can “scout for characters”! You can recruit general-purpose characters such as fighters and wizards by scouting at the scout shop!
You need HL, the currency of the demon world, to collect friends at the “Scout Shop”. Save up enough HL to scout for your favorite characters and build a strong army!
At first, only a few characters can be scouted, but as the story progresses, a variety of characters will be available.
Your trained character can be “reincarnated” to become even stronger! When you “reincarnate”, your level will return to 1, but you will inherit the strength of your original occupation.
However, the strength of the original occupation can be inherited. For example, if you reincarnate a Warrior into a Wizard, you can create a Wizard who is good at physical attacks. Repeatedly reincarnating and re-training makes a big difference!
Make the most of reincarnation to create your own unique character in Disgaea 7!
Strengthen your items at the Item Shop!
If characters can be reincarnated, why can’t items be reincarnated too? After strengthening items in the randomly generated dungeon “Item World”, try “Item Reincarnation”! Items with amazing abilities may be born!
The item world is a slightly mysterious dungeon inside the item. You can challenge it from the Item Shop.”
▍Disgaea 7 DLCs
Additional DLCs will be distributed for Disgaea 7 in two parts. The DLC will feature original scenarios with well-known characters from the Disgaea series and Fuji’s group.
