Disgaea 6is not like other strategy RPGs out there on theSwitch. It may look like something familiar on the scale ofFire EmblemorFinal Fantasy Tactics. For example, characters move on a set of tiles andit is turn-based.It shares many aspects like that with these two series but it is important to know before jumping in that there are many differences.

TheDisgaeaseries fromNISis well-known for piling mechanics on top of mechanics so learning the ropes can be tricky. Leveling up quickly can help players take down difficult challenges much faster so anyone picking upDefiance of Destinywill want to know-how.
Updated July 05, 2025 by Rhenn Taguiam:With players having access to the completeDisgaea 6experience via theDisgaea 6 Completecollection, fans of the recent installment of the acclaimed comedy-RPG franchise would likely want to get overpowered pretty quickly to maximize the enjoyable chaos the Disgaea games are known for.
As Disgaea 6 Complete has just released on June 01, 2025, there’s still ample time for fans to get a headstart and ensure maximum mayhem through level-up tips such as exploring certain areas, capitalizing on quick attacks, and maximizing game mechanics.
Changes To Disgaea 6
The leveling-up system intheDisgaeaserieshas remained mostly unchanged. Characters who used abilities on themselves or enemies on the battlefield would get experience. They could even level up in the middle of a battle.
That has changed withDisgaea 6. Characters instead share experience rewarded after a map is completed. This allows players to more evenly level up characters without having to use them in certain ways. A healer killing enemies was tricky in the past games for example.
Adjust The Cheat Levels
There is a cheat shop in the hub world that allows players to adjust certain allocation points distributed in the game. This shop has existed for a couple of entries in theDisgaeaseries now and it remains unchanged forDisgaea 6. It was a great addition to the series ascheats used to be more prevalentin video games so it was nice to see it return in some way.
Every meter starts at a hundred by default for things such as experience and skill points. At the start of the game, one can lower a meter down to ninety and distribute those ten points to another meter. For example, one could earn 110% for experience. The more chapters one completes in the game then the more one can take away from these meters. This allows them to stack more percentages on experience. This is a must for quick leveling up.
Early Levels To Grind
The very best stage to grind on is Rich Man’s Plaza which is found a couple of stages into the second chapter ofDisgaea 6. This has players facing off against the hero Yarmada by himself. He does have the power to resurrect a few times but even with that ability, he isn’t that challenging.

The nice thing about Yarmada is that he is a self-proclaimed experience booster in the story. That is absolutely true in the gameplay as well. Pay attention to how much experience is earned after each stage and weigh that on top of how challenging and how long it takes to complete. Once it makes sense to switch over from Rich Man’s Plaza, do it. Just be aware this is the best stage for at least a third ofDisgaea 6if not more.
The Setup For Success
One of the best ways to approachpower-leveling inDisgaea 6would be maximizing its available level-up mechanics. While the Cheat Shop is always an obvious choice, here are additional preparations to ensure players maximize the EXP they receive:
Explore Quick Match Enders
Unlike other RPGs,Disgaea 6offers various damage features unique to the franchise. Instead of simply being able to damage enemies with mere melee attacks, spell attacks, or monster attacks,theDisgaeatitleoffers various mechanisms to dish out mean damage to others. In the context of leveling up quickly, players need to maximize these opportunities and find ways to deal maximum damage to quickly end matches and farm more efficiently. These combat options include:
Stay In Quick-Grinding Areas
As with other RPGs, one of the best ways togrind inDisgaea 6is to stay within some of its rather grindiest areas. Players who already have a winning combo in mind should take note of rather “easy” locations that they can spam for hours on end in order to earn levels, skill points, and more efficient ways of maximizing their stats.

Fans may already know that they can tinker with the Cheat Shop to make things more advantageous for them. However, certain locations in various areas also work extremely well as farming locations. These include:
Remember To Super-Reincarnate
One of the most uniqueDisgaeagame features to be introducedforDisgaea 6characterswould be the Super-Reincarnation system. Thanks to this gameplay mechanic, players don’t necessarily just need to be in Level 99,999,999 to maximize the endgame. Rather, “resetting” character progress over and over again allows players to gather Karma and boost their base stats.
This is extremely important by the time players face ridonkulous opponents with millions’ worth of HP, as players need equally-ridiculous stats to take them on. Thanks to Super-Reincarnation, high-enough base stats allows players to gather as much as millions of these numbers by the time they hit max level. Spamming this system often enough can create a character extremely potent at Level 1 that they’re ready to break the game sooner than players think.
Putting The Game On Autopilot
One of the new mechanics introduced in the series forDisgaea 6makes leveling up in this game a breeze. Players can now utilizean auto-battle systemthat has characters complete maps by themselves. The AI isn’t capable of handling complex maps that involve having to use warping tiles or throwing but the mechanic is still good for the most part.
There is also a way to have them repeat a stage. So if one puts their characters on auto-battle and sets a stage like Rich Man’s Plaza on repeat, characters won’t stop until they die or the player intervenes. However, the Switch is not capable of staying on without going to sleep 24/7.
The best thing to do instead is to have it next to wherever one is resting. If one plans to watch a movie then just tap the Switch every once and a while to keep it awake. Going to work at a desk job? Have that propped up in the background? There are so many ways to utilize this new featurewhich kind of breaks the game. Whether that’s true or not doesn’t matter — it’s the best way to level up.
Use The Item Research Squad
Besides leveling up the squad, it is also important to level up items too. TheDisgaeaseries has always had a mechaniccalled the Item World. This allows players to literally jump into an item. Stages then are randomized and the more floors one completes then the more that item will level up.
Don’t focus on gear that can be bought from the store. Instead, focus on accessories won from the hospital. There are pretty rare accessories in it, especially the bottom tier that starts with the Imperial Seal. That item, and the variations of it after, boost most stats. Leveling up these items will surely beef up the party.
Like the auto-battle system inDisgaea 6, there is a way to automate the item leveling process via the research squad. Choose three strong characters to go into an item and watch it go up. Time passes after players complete a stage themselves. Sometimes this will boost the item one level and other times it can shoot up multiple levels. It all depends on the item’s strength and the strength of the chosen party.
Disgaea 6is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch.
