Disgaea 6 – Damage Reward HL Rate/Minute Guide (Demo version)

As you reincarnate your characters you will unlock at some point Damage Reward. This is a RNG heavy odds of luck and its possible it can be obtained very early or much later. This is a very important evility – once it is obtained read this very carefully.

Prep work

This is an setup that will take a LOT of prep work. In the demo, you will eventually notice that counter attacks deal far more damage than normal attacks – and there are evilities that enhance counter attacks that take few slots. This is key as you can get at most 12 slots without classes master and 18 with the available classes mastered – and this is not a easy task as you will need to spend 270M HL to unlock a class from level 5 to 6. Some of those evilities also come via reincarnation, which makes it impossible to set up at the beginning.

This guide only requires ONE character – Zed. The reason we are picking Zed is that he gets a damage boost unique evility that for every reincarnation he has, Zed gets a 1% damage boost. This caps at 200 reincarnations. The second reason is that Zed uses fists as the primary weapon, but a sword is just as preferable due to the fact swords only rely on one base stat of ATK where fists rely on two. The third reason is that Zed has the highest number of counter attacks available at the start of the game and need just 5 reincarnations at level 9999 (genius) to get the first two boosts.

All these evilities are unlocked in the shop (via D-Merits) or reincarnation. The evility on the very top is the most important one of them all – it comes via reincarnation and without it, you cannot farm HL with damage reward. That evility is Handicap and as long Zed is of equal or higher level than the enemy, the enemy will always be left with 1 HP.

Tenacity and Head to Head are used to enhance counter attack damage, Warrior Killer is used on the Map 2-3 to give a 50% damage boost as the enemy is considered a Warrior, and Muscle Increase and Tenacity gives slight ATK boosts.

If you noticed in the screenshot, all the evilities that focus on damage actually focus on counter attack damage. With HL spent on shards (as high as could afford), it is possible to hit counter attacks for over 100+ million on just 12 reincarnations and 1B on just 50 reincarnations. Damage Reward gives a bonus of 0.001% HL for total damage done, so 100M damage results in approximately 100K HL gained. Since both the Warrior and Zed have high number of counter attacks, it is possible to do 100M+ damage twice in a single turn.

The final step is to unlock 4x speed – which will take a lot of mana and likely will result in a persuade by force – so make sure the character gaining xp has hog all xp active before this step is taken. This intent is to speed up the process of killing.

When you get additional evility slots available (right now can get up to 18 slots), they need to be prioritized to Crack Shot (ATK+5% for 1 slot), Longhorn (2 slots), and Double Up (3 slots, obtained from Thief class mastery), or Taste of Victory (4 slots, obtained via reincarnation).

First store about 20,000 mana in the drink bar and use drink bar for 101 mana every time until Zed hits reincarnation count to 199, spending karma earned from d-merits as they are earned. Once the count hits 199, stop, then use drink bar for 1 mana at a time until the final drink bar d-merit is unlocked for 10M Karma, then reincarnate Zed for the final time maxing out the categories (there will be karma left over).

HL gained after 1 enemy turn – averaging over 1B in counter attack damage on 12 evility slots. Gun is equipped for this run as weapon mastery is being worked on at the same time.

Zed was dealing approximately 200M per normal attack but 1 to 4 BILLION damage on a counter attack depending on critical attacks. The rate was approximately 1M to 1.5M HL per minute, which translates to about 115M to 120M HL per hour – when 12 slots are used and even higher when Zed maxes out on shards and has 18 slots used.

After one hour of 4x auto battle with 12 slot counter attack strategy. Over 1/3 of the required HL for a class mastery is complete.
