Unlock and master Adell in Disgaea 5! Learn his best skills, evilities, and strategies to become a boss-killing powerhouse. Get the most out of this DLC character.
Alright, let's talk about Adell, one of the cool DLC characters you can snag for Disgaea 5. To even get him on your team, you've gotta clear all the maps in the 'C. Tournament' DLC episode. Once he's unlocked, you'll find he's a real powerhouse, especially when it comes to taking down bosses.
Adell really shines when you equip him with a fist. He's got fantastic aptitudes and stats for Attack and Speed, which is exactly what you want. His unique Evility, 'Indomitable Fist,' is the star of the show here. It lets him use a fist or unique skill twice in a row. While you might not be able to use *every* single skill this way, it's incredibly potent. When you combine this with his Overload, Adell becomes a true boss killer. He can get behind an enemy and unleash a powerful attack like 'Vulcan Blaze' twice, dealing massive damage. The only minor downside? He doesn't actually talk, so his combat noises can get a little… repetitive.

Overload: Ameretat’s Bravery
When Adell's Overload activates, called 'Ameretat’s Bravery,' his attacking power gets a massive 200% boost, and his Move stat jumps to 32 for a whole turn. This is HUGE. It means he can deal an insane amount of damage and reach pretty much anywhere on the map. Combined with his 'Indomitable Fist' Evility, he's an absolute beast for taking down tough enemies.
Evilities
Adell's abilities are key to his effectiveness:
- Indomitable Fist (Unique): This is his signature Evility. When he uses a fist or a unique skill, he automatically uses it again. It's like getting two attacks for the price of one! Just be mindful if a skill causes him or the enemy to move, as that might mess with the double-cast. This is amazing for stacking damage.
- Bend Then Break (1 Slot): If you've got a fist equipped, Adell can parry attacks. It's not a massive damage reduction, but it helps him survive a bit better.
- Hard Boiled Man (3 Slots): This boosts his fire damage output by 20% and reduces the fire damage he takes by 20%. Since all his unique skills are fire-based, this is a solid choice for increasing his offensive power and survivability.
- Bonds of Love (4 Slots): If Rozalin is within 50 panels of Adell, his ATK gets a 3% boost. It's a nice little bonus for extra damage, but it costs a lot of slots and requires you to keep Rozalin nearby.
| Evility | Slots | Effect | Req |
| Indomitable Fist | Unique | When attacking with a fist/unique skill, attack with it again | Default |
| Bend Then Break | 1 | Unit will be able to parry when fist is equipped | 500 Mana |
| Hard Boiled Man | 3 | Increases fire damage dealt by 20%, and decreases fire damage taken by 20% | 5000 Mana |
| Bonds of Love | 4 | Increases ATK by 3% when Rozalin is within 50 panels | 30000 Mana |
