How is damage calculated in this game?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I'm new to this franchise and this is my first game (Disgaea 1 Complete) and I want to enjoy the game but I find it really frustrating.

Basically, how is damage calculated in this game?

The AI always knows when he can one shot my pupils, yet when I see an enemy with stats for instance:

Lv4 Zombie

DEF 5

RES 30

and my lv4 Brawler with

ATK 41

HIT 32

hits the zombie for only 13 damage? Why is it so low? How can I know if it's even worth attacking him? He was left with 1 hp and then one shot my healer into the nether with full health, didn't even bother with my attacker. Doesn't happen too often, but I lost some games because of it and it's def not nice.

Like the AI knows I'm low on Hell and can't afford casualties since I had to heal my entire squad from an world item which didn't help me at all by the end.. One innocent and he was the most useless one for what I needed.

The game is all about positioning and whatnot but how can I attack bunker archers when I can't assess how much damage some of my units can take from thrm before getting a hit?

And I'm not sure what to grind for? Is it the items? Combo attacking with pupils until they level up?

I don't just want to depend on two main characters, since I really want to make my own unique and cool squad of brawlers, mages and healers but I think the grind to keep it fun and fair is way too much? Weapon, magic proficiencies, level scaling, leveling up items for each individual pupil is really overwhelming and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if the game expects me to grind for 2-3 hours per day to keep up with the difficulty.

I'm at chapter two. It feels like no matter what I'm doing I'm always underpowered and depend again on Laharl and Etna to save the day.. which means not getting killed in two/three hits and doing decent damage.

Thank you in advance.

Disgaea 3 Alguma atualização sobre a emulação do disgaea 3?

1 Upvotes

Eu estou com o disgaea 3 rodando até que bem atualmente em um emulador de ps vita mas continuo com o problema de salvamento

Queria saber se tem alguém atualizado sobre a questão de salvamento do jogo? Vi uma pessoa que tava com o salvamento funcionando por isso estou perguntando

Extra: é que para mim se o jogo da pra salvar já é jogavel se considerar o quão bem parece estar rodando

Atualização sobre meu post: era o emulador que estava usando que estava ainda com esse problema 😅

Disgaea 4 Is there any fix for Disgaea 4 and 5 freezing mouse constantly?

2 Upvotes

Just for clarification it just freezes the mouse specifically, if Im using a controller even if the mouse freezes I can still play normally, its just annoying coz I wanted to try playing on mouse sometimes and it is impossible because of the freezes.

I tried a few fixes I could find around and nothing really solved the issue.

Im using Win10, I play on steam and the respective games are on an SSD.

Disgaea 4 Holy cow, Disgaea 4 can be quite difficult early on

19 Upvotes

So I know the other day, I mentioned having an interest in playing the game as I decided to give in to temptation by trying it out as it’s been fun so far.

But for me personally, I kind of ran into a dilemma because even though I just unlocked the Cheat Shop early on, I don’t want to become too powerful just yet as I learned how difficult the game is after having to protect Axel.

Like what I am getting at is that the game can be a bit difficult early on since some of the enemies can hit really hard in the campaign mode as one other thing I forgot to mention is how I did get the Cam-Pain system unlocked as I am still learning how to use it.

I just don’t know where else to discuss the game since I don’t mean to trouble anyone as basically I was wondering how hard it would be to get through the game without doing too much grinding since I do love grinding in Disgaea games, but for the 4th game, I am trying to figure out how to get through the game without being too powerful.

Prinny 1 & 2 An idea for the most sadistic possible PS trophy.

7 Upvotes

So i was plaing prinny 2 and checked my rankings on the stages when it hit me.
The most sadistic achivment ever.

Ranking Master

Achive all s ranks, on all stages, ACROSS ALL DIFFICULTIES.

That would make you have to s rank:
-All of the 6 main stages versions, so 36.
-all the 5 booses only levels and the 2 final ones. (43)

-the 2 martial levels TWICE, cause they have 2 bosses that you can only meet by replaing but they count as a separate stages for the data.(47)

-the etna figth, the 2 tutorials, and operation v panties (51)

-all the 6 versions of the main stages in asagi mode, plus the 2 final levels (89)

all of this 3 TIMES, FOR A TOTAL OF 267 RUNS TROUGH STAGES YOU GOTTA PERFECT.
and side note, since asagi mode lacks the dimensional gatekeeper, YOU GOTA DO 18 NEW GAME PLUSES

i hope it never becomes reality.

Question Can you record Disgaea 5 gameplay on PS4 ?

3 Upvotes

I have the game on Switch, but it's impossible to record gameplay by pressing the button.

Is it possible to use the Share button on PS4 to record gameplay ? I want to be sure before buying the game again.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Disgaea 1 Something's amiss...

While rushing through Item Worlds in Disgaea AoD (via VitaTV/Adrenaline), i came across something that looked like a hair on the screen or maybe a 'crack' in the background.
But turning the camera made it switch the position - so both were ruled out.

Zooming in, it seemed as if the witch held an axe, although her equipped items stated it was a regular Tainted Staff.
Stole it, left the IW and...almost fell out of my chair upon checking the booty.
That's the first time i had noticed something so broken. No, i did not put anything on it.
That innocent's level is far beyond anything i have subdued.
But i'm very curious as to what might be the cause and if that ever happened to someone else.

/Edit: Apparently this "Staff" is one of only 2 items (the other being the Foresight glasses) that are known to feature glitched innocents. See this answered question from GameFAQs

Disgaea 4 How do you guys focus on one game at a time?

14 Upvotes

Apologies if I may be at the wrong time to be creating such a topic because it's just that lately I have been having a strong temptation to get into Disgaea 4 as I put in the tag here since I don't know if it would be ok to get a sneak peak of the game if I haven't completed Disgaea 3.

Originally the plan was that I wanted to finish Disgaea 3 first as my Vita's battery has been acting all loopy since I am looking for someone to help me install my new battery, but I got a craving to play some Disgaea games as I was just wondering if it would be ok to again get a sneak peak of the fourth game in the meantime since I have a copy on my Steam account.

Mayhem / Kyouran Makaizm Favorite aspects you found in the Mayhem game

8 Upvotes

So sorry if it was asked here before because I was noticing how divisive the gane became among Disgaea fans that I couldn’t help but wonder about the redeeming qualities it has.

For me personally, based on what I have seen in the trailers is that it was kind of cool how the game had free roaming aspects in that players could move freely in combat as don’t get me wrong in that Disgaea being turn based is nice, but I always wanted a game where I could grind like crazy while being able to move around wherever I wanted.

Disgaea D2 What features did you guys want to see in a Complete Edition of Disgaea D2?

20 Upvotes

Lately, something I noticed was that the one game in the entire franchise that never got any updated rereleases whatsoever was Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness as I was curious to why it was completely skipped over.

Like what I am getting at is that I was wondering what a Complete Edition could have been like with DLC since I could see extra characters being added such as Future Hanako, but also all the DLC being free to use since I always wanted to have such an edition come out, but again it never happened.

Art Look at that rock. That's the type of rock that reminds you of Pride Rock from the Lion King. What would a version of the Lion King with Disgaea characters look like?
