Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/Geo symbols

Geo Symbol Effects
You can get a brief in-game description of any Geo Symbol by moving the action cursor to the symbol and the Status menu. While most of the Geo Symbols are pretty self-explanatory, the description for some symbols' actions is a bit vague.


 * EXP +50% and Mana +50% symbols will often come together in the Item World. If you see one or the other, chances are most of the symbols on the map are also Exp and Mana symbols. Find other symbols on the map and toss them all onto the same color for exponentially better gains.


 * EXP +50% and Mana +50% only give their bonuses when enemies are destroyed on these squares, not when your characters attack from them.


 * Element +50% / -50% symbols affect both offensive spells and defensive resistance of the unit standing on them.

Dealing with Invincibility Symbols
Unfortunately, Disgaea 2 does not allow you to destroy geo symbols by throwing them onto enemy units (as was possible in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness). The only way to deal with Invincibility symbols is to destroy them as part of a multi-color chain or lift them and toss them somewhere else. Occasionally you'll run into stages where you have Invincibility and No Lifting symbols working together, and often times building geo chains on those stages will be impossible. If you find yourself on such a stage and really want to max out the Bonus Gauge for some reason, you can either use the Geomancer's Geo Change special to make yourself a new Geo Symbol layout, or utilize the Invincibility zones to reel off huge combos or stack attacks over and over on the same unkillable enemy until the Bonus Gauge is filled.
