Talk:Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/Reincarnation

Rapid Reincarnation Strategy
I wasn't really sure how to edit this into the article, from the way it's written... But I've seen this strategy on forums before under a different name, and the debunking (or what I can remember of it) is as follows:

The boost you get after Reincarnation only has to do with total levels, the rank of reincarnation (Genius and whatnot), and a slight random factor. The only thing directly affected by total number of reincarnations is mana cost for reincarnation. After the first two reincarnates, the cost skyrockets (by at least 30-ish%, I don't really remember. It's been a long time since I've been at that stage of the game).

So although it's theoretically more efficient to reincarnate as often as possible (unless you're power-leveling from Lv1 to 9999), it becomes increasingly harder to do so... especially in the first cycle. It truly depends on how powerful/weak your equipment is, but it's generally more efficient (in the long run, time-wise) to wait until you can reincarnate at Genius rank, and only reincarnate at Genius rank thereafter.

Rapid Reincarnation is still a plausible strategy, especially if the player is only interested in clearing one cycle, but it's far from the undisputed best strategy... --DekuGuy 23:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
