I know this is the mobile game thread, but of the Disgaeas on PC, which would you recommend for a newbie to the world? I'm playing the mobile game pretty blind but enjoy it so far.

I didn't play 4 and I've just started 5 but my favorite story is still Disgaea 1 so far. I haven't played the Disgaea 1 rerelease I don't know what was changed.

Holy crap. You can farm prism rangers from each of the boss stages in story mode. Once this event is over I'm going to grind them out and max evilities.
Made my first 4* awakening with prism red. Super sentai is go!

For non mobile disgaea, I've played 5, 1, and 4 in that order. Wish I started with 1 since it is a much simpler game with great story/characters. D5 is a much more complex game with a lot more content but the story is lame. I would just use the D1 dlc characters and geneeics over most of the d5 story guys.

Yeah this is me a bit, I've played all of the games, the mechanics of 5 are pretty great, but the story is a yawner. It's all about goofing off in the item world/chara world to chill out and relax, not worry about the dumb plot.

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
A solid 50% of the time I can't get past the title screen. It won't automatically log in half the time and I have to force-close the app and hope it works the next time. If I get to the title screen and it doesn't log in IMMEDIATELY it basically isn't going to happen. I've left it for several minutes and it isn't even trying. This happening to anyone else?

At least early on you get enough to probably fill out a team of 4*s and enhance one of them (not counting Edna who you get for free)

I don’t know if it stays that way but there’s no pvp or big guild/world bosses so there’s a lot less pressure to chase the meta

I've found the gacha pretty bad but could just be my luck. Up to 9 draws and only got a 4* twice (1st and 4th draw).

So far it doesn't matter because of free starter, Etna, Flonne, and Noel. Might be an issue later when NE level matters and need duplicates. A bigger part of the game now is leveling and awakening which is all through farming.

I've yet to get any 4* pulls on the 40 or 50 pulls I made so far with freebie gems which is annoying, but I'm just running Etna and Flonne with Laharl and a Nemophila (plant girl) for the aoe regen until I unlock the item world, then I'll probably farm the event for a Noel.

The game's neat and it's Disgaea so I decided to grab the rookie pack for $4 but I ended up with a 2nd Flonne which is less than thrilling.

A reminder that there are missions for beating 80 dark gates for each section and the rewards are tons of high grade reincarnation items, during the two week period. It kind of gets hidden away with all the stuff the game throws at you. I would use some keys if it gets you close enough to reincarnating.

Mind elaborating on this? Where's the mission?

The general consensus is to NE the Etnas. I'll go doing that too once I get my 2nd dupe.

If you were like me and just mashing the subdue button when it came up in item world, it may be worth using the bribe items. If you get a ! the innocent ran away and is permanently gone from the item.

Innocents seem real weird and less good in this game. Unless I’m missing something it takes an obscene amount of money to move them out of your item even when subdued and there’s no way I can see to improve/combine them in the innocent farm

For now I just threw the +xp ones on my best accessories and do free subdues on the ones I find in item world. If they run away then oh well

Is there a specific thing we're supposed to do to get a 4* prinny?

Also I'd give a toe to get Disgaea 1-3 on PC with complete edition features. Playing 1 without fast forward movement is such a slog.

God one thing they nailed is that trying to understand why items have the stats that they do is loving inscrutable as a real disgaea game

It seems like "rank" "level" "Rarity" don't matter as much as what name or version of an item type you got

Like I have a legendary bamboo spear, level 3, Rarity 65 rank 4 and it only adds a lovely 12 ATK

i have an "uncommon" halberd, lower other stats all over but it adds 115 ATK...?

On the 6th or 7th 10-pull I finally got another 4*: Mao :geno:

At least it's a 4* though. I've been running Laharl, Noel, Etna, and Flonne with random fillers so far, so he'll technically be an improvement. I don't get how/why Laharl levels so much faster than Etna and Flonne, just the extra xp from kills doesn't seem like enough since he's almost level 90 again after 1 reincarnation while those two are 96-97 without reincarnating yet.

Got up to the last stage of the event on easy but that level jump is rough so I'm going to go back to the story for awhile, and just casually farm deaths in IW on a prinny team while doing other things so that I can get the final muscle item for Noel to have mega regen.

I said come in!

I was in the middle of a item world run, and when the servers came back up it gave me the option to continue my run. I really appreciate that, I assumed I was going to lose all of my progress.

nm, found these:
https://disgaea-rpg.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Lists

looks like the "rank" number is the hierarchical number and i'm misremembering something, so a rank 1 spear will be worse than a rank 4, and so on and so forth, phew, glad i found this, I just wanted a quick/easy way to know which items were worth grabbing

for anyone else maybe confused

Yeah that's always how its been for the whole series, you want the highest rank items you can get. In some of the RPGs rarity can trump rank, but not for long.

did you equip him with the growth sword that starts with a bunch of exp up innocents attached?

the exp boost from reincarnating is pretty big too so it's not surprising he's almost caught up again

To add a bit to this, rank and rarity (if it hits rare/legendary breakpoints) are the important bits in this game, according to my play so far.

Rank is important not just because of higher stats, but it allows you to loot even higher rank items in the item world of that item. Since raising shop rank is time gated by dark assembly points, this allows you to reach beyond your shop rank. My shop rank is like 7, but I have most of my guys wearing rank 9 and beyond from item world looting

Rarity is important because rare and then legendary have a much deeper item world level and can be made much stronger. Also the higher level item generals/kings/gods seem to have a higher chance of dropping good loot. So in general a common item will have 30 item world levels and cap out at +50 if you kill the boss, but a legendary item has 100 item world levels and can reach +180 if you reach the end, with all the added stats and chances for loot that implies.

So now that I have decent gear for my dudes, I’m hunting the shop refreshes for rank 7 items that have rare or legendary rarity whether or not they’re something my main 5 use just so I can farm in them
