Enemies: (5)

Learn the best strategies for defeating the Brawler, Warrior, Hobbits, and Ghosts in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. This easy battle is perfect for leveling up new characters!

Alright, so you've hit the fifth battle in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, and honestly? It's a total breeze compared to what's coming next. This is your golden ticket to level up those new characters you just cooked up at the Dark Assembly. Seriously, don't sleep on this opportunity!

Right off the bat, you'll see four Ghosts chilling near you. They're practically begging to be taken down by your weaker party members, especially since Laharl and Etna are likely around Level 5 by now and have their sweet special moves like Blazing Knuckle and Prinny Raid ready to go.

Keep an eye out for those yellow panels in the middle of the stage. They've got Geo Effects that give a massive +50% Defense and +1 Attack to whoever's standing on them. You absolutely do NOT want the enemies getting these buffs, so make sure your crew claims them first. If the enemies do manage to get on them, your best bet is to break the Geo Symbols nearby or just toss them away. The only real threats here are the Brawler and the Warrior, but they're weak enough that Laharl and Etna can soften them up, leaving the finishing blows and sweet, sweet EXP for your other characters.

Once this stage is cleared, I highly recommend heading back to the Dark Assembly to create a Cleric. Female or male, it's up to you! Give her a bow or a staff, whatever you prefer. After that, we'll be heading to the Corridor of Love.
