Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/Secret characters

Of the following characters, two can be obtained by defeating optional stages which must be opened through the Dark Assembly; both are returning characters from the original Disgaea, and retain many of the same stats and attributes. The latter three show up in the Land of Carnage; two are your former enemies, while the last is an ally formerly controlled by the game.

Flonne's main use in the party is her very strong Healing spells, which increases your survivability by a high percentage. She can also take the role of both Mage and Ranged attacker. She is the best with Staves, but her stats make her effective with Bows or Guns as well. Regardless of how she fights, she must be Pupil-taught Healing spells in order for her to have any use within the Party.

Laharl: Overlord

• Ability: Inflicts 25% more damage to monsters.
• Lover: Damage to monsters increases another 1% per lover.

Laharl arguably has the best stats of the special characters, so if there's anyone you're going to keep based on pure strength, it'll be him. His innate ability (especially combined with lovers) is even more reason to keep him in your party. Laharl has the best Weapon Mastery of any secret character in the game as well, having multiple uses and potential in many areas, Swords and Axes in particular, since they both take advantage of his high ATK. His specials are also great, especially Meteor Impact and Overlord's Wrath, since they both attack multiple enemies. Laharl is a must-use for the Post-Game; his extra damage to Monsters as well as his overwhelming stats are great for your party.

Land of Carnage Characters

The characters listed below can only be used while in the Land of Carnage optional area, and only during certain periods of episodes of the Carnage cycle (marked by "Available"). You can only simultaneously have all three after clearing the Carnage Stage 13-4.

Axel: Dark Hero

• Ability: Receives 20%(?) less damage from human characters.
• Lover: Decreases damage from humans by an additional 1% per Lover.
• Available: Episodes 3, 9, 10, 11, and after 13-4

Axel is just like Adell in terms of stats, being great with Fist weapons. Unlike Adell, Axel has a lower SPD, but better defense as a trade-off. This means that if you want Axel to use any other weapons, Swords and Spears will work well, since he's much better with them than Adell is. However, if you aren't that interested in Axel, then his innate ability is probably the only reason you'll want to keep him. By the time you can actually use him, you'll probably have a few tier 6 characters, which limits his usefulness unless he's power leveled with all variables seen to. When leveling his Fist abilities and/or weapons, be sure to use Fists with a very high SPD, since Axel's suffers a bit.

If you are playing the PSP port of the game, he will be the main character in Axel Mode, allowing early use of him. All levels gained during Axel Mode will carry over to recruiting him in the Land of Carnage when playing as Adell, so early leveling may make the post-game a little more bearable if you intend on using Axel in the Land of Carnage.

Also not that if starting Axel Mode via the cheat code, Axel will be at level 3. However, if playing a New Game +, Axel will be at least level 100 regardless of Adell's stats.

Fubuki: Ninja Master

• Ability: Regular attacks (including team attacks) reduce SP by 20% of the damage done to HP.

Fubuki is an improved version of Yukimaru, but with much worse Weapon Mastery. He is the only secret character in the game that is the best with Axe weapons, although he can also use Fists rather well. Fubuki's specials are nothing new, basically differently named versions of Yukimaru's that also use the Ice element. If you do choose to keep him in the party, bear in mind his low attack range and elemental usage. He has very little use as a major attacker, but his SP-Damaging ability makes him great as a support character, especially when paired with Yukimaru's ability to cause Amnesia.

Kurtis: Defender

• Ability: Receives 50% less damage from enemies with higher levels. Explodes like a Prinny when thrown.
• Lover: Decreases damage from stronger foes by an additional 1% per Lover.
• Available: Anytime
• Type: Monster

• Move: 5
• Jump: 35

Kurtis is an improved version of the Prinny class, utilizing ranged attacks and high DEF to contend with enemies. When Lovers are utilized, his defense can be devastating against enemies of a higher level, making him a very effective meat shield. His stats are mediocre, though, and his Monster-type fighting style making him weaker. If you wish to use him in the Post-Game, power up both ATK and DEF, sending him in first against enemies of a higher level than him. He is especially devastating when paired up with Adell, since their ATK and DEF are both affected by higher level enemies, respectively.
