Character Classes generally refer to generic humanoid characters such as "Thief" or "Samurai". These are the types of allies and enemies you'll see most often. Story characters such as Adell and Yukimaru are not included, as they are thought to be separate, unique classes.
While assembly bills are needed to unlock new classes, there is no need to pass bills to unlock advanced tiers of classes, just advance characters to the appropriate level. Unlike in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, the first tier character cannot be used to unlock all six tiers. The previous tier must always be used to unlock the next-highest tier.

As it's name implies, the Fighter is standard warrior-type unit, not too bad with either ATK or DEF, but lacking much flavor. Aside from Majins, these guys can use Axes better than anyone.
In the post-game, give these guys an item with a Lv100 Professional and Lv25 Male Fighter Lover. Always critical you can get with anyone, but double critical hit damage makes these guys the strongest physical damage dealers. Unfortunately you'll have to use a weight to keep this ability active, which takes away one of their greatest strengths: high HP.

Give or take a couple stat points, these ladies seem the same as Male Fighters, except they're good with Bows. Their innate ability can come in handy early on, but by the time you get Professional Specialists, it will be useless.

Learn spells with these guys, then reincarnate as Rune Knights. Rune Knights' boost to elemental attacks makes Tera Fire/Ice/Wind the most powerful attack in the game, but they can only learn up to Giga level spells on their own. The star spells are mostly worthless, since elemental weaknesses are the only reason spells are worth using, so there's little point in getting tier 4 or higher.

Their SP reduction comes in handy early on when SP costs are high, and can come handy in the Item World. However, Skulls are usually better in the long run: leveling high-end spells goes a lot faster, and spell level makes a surprisingly large difference in damage dealt. Later in the game SP becomes an overly abundant resource such that SP conservation isn't very advantageous anyway.

Their SPD isn't quite as godly as in the original game, but Fists weren't fueled by SPD in the original either. If you're going to have a Ninja, you're going to have a Fist-user. Make use of Lovers and a weight to make them virtually untouchable, and boost that dodge rate even further by equipping Accelerators/Shoes with maxed Coach and Sprinter specialists.

Kunoichi try to be a tie between Fist-fighters and mages, and their stats are "meh" as a result. Their SPD's good, but don't have increased dodge when critical and have lower HP than Ninja, so equipping them with a weight to unleash their ability is particularly risky. They're pretty good with Fists, but Ninja are better.
There's one real reason to have these chicks: Innate Ability, but unfortunately, a huge amount of luck is involved with it, and it could end up killing you more than it helps. If you're a gambler, good for you. If you're not, these guys can still make great support units:
- Staff mastery is decent, even if their RES is mildly low (not that much is usually needed), so they could work as healers.
- Kunoichi possess their own status-inflicting specials.
- Double-attack makes Braveheart have a decent chance of increasing stats by 40% instead of 20%, but if you don't get both hits, there isn't much of a drawback.
- High MV and JM lets them get to ally units, and reach far-off/high-up panels where enemies can't touch them.
- Good evasion makes them more durable than Healers.
- Since they're supporting from the rear and never approach the enemy, the risk of weight-equipping is immensely diminished.
They're arguably the best non-Special Character support for human characters. Unfortunately, their EXP Rate is a couple notches higher than most support units.

Hands-down, Majin have the best stats, aptitude, and Weapon Proficiency. That's why they exist. However, their EXP is leaps and bounds above everyone else, making them take twice as long to level as most characters. Unless they're fighting alone, their MV, JM, and Throw can be crippling as well.
To unleash the hell of his ability, toss an enemy human into your base panel, or chain-grenade a group of nine allied Prinnies.

Highest HP and DEF of all, and the innate guarantees they'll practically never die. Their ATK is pretty decent too, but it still comes in last place compared to the other warrior-types. Spears are their best weapon, not only because of weapon mastery, but it makes use of the high DEF aptitude. Lift Mages or weaker units out of the way to force enemies on your Knight instead.
Heavy Knights have the greatest Throw range in the game. This is pretty handy, especially in the Item World when you're trying to toss allies to the next gate. You could just make nine Lv1 Heavy Knights to make full use of their throws.

Umm... Just don't make these. High counters is really only a good idea if you have high DEF and HP, stats which these lack. Their SPD is pretty low for guys that only want to use fists. Their innate makes is mostly useless: it only activates when you're critical, and taking damage at HP that low means you might just die before you can unleash that boosted counter anyway.
If you want someone who only exists for Counterattacks, make Nekomatas instead.

They're only useful in the Item World, but greatly so, and for obvious reasons. You don't need to keep their level high to truly make use of their Geo abilities though.

ATK is the highest of all, and their Sword Mastery is the best too. Unfortunately, many characters (Male Fighters, mainly) have Innate Abilities which smack down that otherwise boastful ATK. And for warrior-types, these guys have delicate defenses.
The ability is more of a reason to keep a few Samurai around, but since it's such a gamble, you'll probably be planning to kill a foe normally whenever it triggers. Against an impossible boss (ie, Lv9999 when you're Lv200), make ten of these with as many Lovers as possible, then equip weights and charge in, hoping you get one-hit kills on everyone. If you don't survive, quit, then re-load your saved game and try again.

Guns are awesome, and Gunners are the only characters (aside from Majins) who can use them properly. Combo damage is all that matters against single, invincible, boss-like characters, so you'll definitely want to have at least one of these guys around.

Stats are horrid, but stealing is the only way to get some of the game's rarest and most powerful items, and these are the only guys who can steal successfully when it matters. Aside from getting the best hand items, the only thing you can do to increase her steal chance is increase level and gain Lovers. She can't fight half-decently on her own, so just include her in Team and Tower Attacks whenever possible.
If you want to actually try fighting:
- SPD is her highest stat, so Fists are a good choice, and the SPD boost can help her dodge lethal attacks.
- Guns and Bows offer range, which can be used to keep Thieves alive. HIT is her second-best stat, and she has the highest natural mastery with those two weapons. Unlike in the first Disgaea though, the character's HIT doesn't affect stealing success.
- Level is all that matters with stealing, and Swords' large area attacks tend to aid levelling.
- Since stats don't matter as much for support characters, some players give her a Staff and a Cleric pupil, then have her cast buffs on allies while using her natural debuffs on foes. Get a Scroll: Staff ASAP.
Thief doesn't excel at anything in particular, so it mostly depends on how you want to use her.

- Lover: Extra 1% less damage from elemtnal attacks.

They have the most powerful healing spells, and are the only class who can naturally learn the full range of buffs. You'll use the one given to you in the first cycle, but it'll be best to just pupil-teach their spells to more dynamic characters in the post-game.
Boost an ally instead. Don't attack. RES is a Healer's only decent stat, so attacking with her is... just a bad idea. If you insist, at least use a spell so staff mastery goes up.

Bows aren't the strongest of weapons, and Archers don't have much ATK to match their high HIT. Even so, these girls are more about distance than power. With 20 Lovers, it's easy to strike most "Patient" enemies from a distance without baiting them. Decently-trained mages can do the same with spells, but what if that enemy has godly RES?
Archers aren't necessary units, but it definitely doesn't hurt to have one.

Their stats aren't the best, but you'll need at least two of these if you use a lot of monsters. Their Staff proficiency is horrid, but Staffs boosts their monster-buffs, so you'll want to get a Scroll: Staff ASAP.
When you're in dire need of a certain bonus gauge item, rip out as many of these guys as possible and unleash a horde of team attacks and combos.

Their stat distribution and slower exp rate make them a difficult class to use early in the game. The best use for them during the first cycle is as a support unit: reincarnate one from a Cleric for a multi-purpose Healer/Mage able to power up the spells and elemental defense of several other spell-casting party members first thing in battle. Their INT may be lower than a Skull's or Mage's, but their innate abilities and elemental-boosting spells make them the best magic users in the long run. Reincarnate them from a Skull who's learned Tera spells for magical devastation on epic levels.
