as for the weapons in the game there are about 8 weapons possible for your troops; Fists, swords, spears, bows, guns, axes, staffs and monster weapons. each of these weapons have weapon masteries where by if a character uses a certain type of weapon for long enough, they gain stat increases for that weapon, and even increased efficiency in stats for that weapon.
another certain trait about Disgaea is the Item world, like your troops in the game your items can level up to, however you have to enter the item world, a randomly generated dungeon with various monsters in there you either have to beat, or reach the end to clear. the further you go, the stronger the enemies, however, if you reach certain checkpoints in the item world,the item you chose will level up as their stats in crease as well, from increasing the damage a weapon can dish out to even increasing the amount of HP an item can heal.
another aspect of the game is that you can potentially lift up troops or enemies. lifting up your troops can let you throw them a certain number of spaces to help move them along, get to tricky places where normal methods would be problematic. another aspect about lifting your allies is that you can stack them on top of each other and actually attack a nearby enemy with the stacked characters taking a turn to whack that enemy senseless, this is a really helpful technique to level weaker characters. lifting up enemies has the specific purpose of throwing them at other enemies and in a sense fusing them together to make stronger enemies for less troops to deal with. one thing to note, the Prinny, a penguin like demon is a special case where if you lift one and throw them, they explode, making them like bomb troops, the higher level the prinny, the more damage the explosion. also the prinnies that get caught in the explosion can also die as well.
I would like to hear your thoughts about the Disgaea series as a whole, and I encourage you to share your experiences with the games themselves, the good, the bad, and the ugly times as well. and I do apologize for such a long post, there's so much to talk about in this game that I didn't want to leave anything out if I could.
