Disgaea Hour of Darkness - 200+ million total damage

I still remember the time when I first got 10 million in total damage - this is just nuts! With a new staff on my wizard with matching rarity on 2 other items, my wizard really tears everything up. With a somewhat lucky pyramid (geo symbol) setup, good geo panel layout, and plenty of good enemies to work with, I knew I could smash my previous record of 118 million total damage. With 8 objects on invincibility (5 enemies and 3 pyramids), I can endlessly deal damage to them without defeating them. With "attacks+1", the damage done doubles. With "atk+50%", damage with magic increases by 25% (50% for physical attacks). Freeze (my wizard), alone, does a good 170 million total from all this. Then, there's my second "powerhouse", Laharl. If it wasn't for the limited use of winged slayer, I could've easily done much more damage, though, oddly, special weapon skills are not affected by "attacks+1" effects, though magic and regular attacks are (a bug?). There's my "sun master", the shinobi, that adds further to it, but I can't get braveheart to work on him since he evades it every time. The others barely put a dent into the total damage - 700K is essentially nothing on 200 million. Now, if I had either "attacks+3" and "atk+100%" or "attacks+4" and "atk+50%", along with a layout like this, I could very easily do much more damage, potentially a half a billion. With more maxed teachers, this will only get more extreme. Aside from the total damage, this is also a handy way to develop magic and get weapon mastery as well (though it's faster on a single pyramid with "attacks+" effects. I can now see how total damage into the billions is possible.

My only question about your mage, where are the Tera level spells? or are you not using them due to animation speed reasons?

[ulillillia]

Tera spells are not used for 3 reasons: effect duration is too long (I can't disable effects), SP usage too high, and bonus on damage is minuscule for the SP needs. Even omega spells are like this. Only tera wind and omega wind are worthy enough.  Giga ice, mega star, and fire are best for the other series. My wizard has tera spells, but only present to make mega star quick to reach as there doesn't seem to be a way to customize the order of spells.

@ulillillia then how much damage could you have done if u used tera star?

[ulillillia]

If tera star was at the same level as my mega star, it would do about 30% more total damage. Tera star is only 80% as powerful as star and mega star is about 20% as powerful. This makes tera star about 33 1/3% more powerful than mega star. My wizard, Freeze, does the bulk of the damage - the others don't change. Today, if I had the same conditions for pyramids and enemies, I could do over 300 million total damage. With 9 enemies and pyramids, I could pass a half billion total.

I'm baffled why the Divine Majin does not have the Yoshitsuna equipped...

[ulillillia]

I have 2 Yoshitsunas at the moment. Laharl has one and is level 100. The other is level 0. The cosmic blade, of which is what the divine majin has, is level 100 which clearly makes it more powerful than my second yoshitsuna. Just before I got bored of Disgaea, I started leveling up the second Yoshitsuna for, not the majin, but a shinobi.

@Galaxynewsradio2055 It is a great video though

[ulillillia]

I do have interest in the sequel, but you are right about the story - I don't find it interesting. I could breeze through it with ease without having to save, if I wanted. After all, what enemies can handle the 6 million damage my wizard can now do with consistency? There aren't many - item gods (the item god 2 needs 3 hits of this amount) and likely Baal (this one I don't know).

[fize4ever]

wow uli, you must be sitting on the crown of the guy who played disgaea the most, and the most funny thing about it is you "don't care" for sequel or nis or even the story XD

[ulillillia]

I generally lack preference toward monsters, due solely to the lack of weapon mastery. It took long enough to get my argus up to max level, but I only got it for one thing - clone wars. Compared to cave of ordeals 3, "supering" the talos to the max (7040) after getting a clone pyramid with either another clone or exp+, having my own level 9999 argus has made clone wars 70% more efficient. Even at level 9990, without exp+, I can still gain 2 levels in one (usually 1 though).
