Using Innocents to increase ATK and HIT.
Specialists, later renamed to Innocents, are a unique item improvement feature in the Disgaea series. Any item in the game -- Weapons, Accessories, consumable Items, and others -- can be inhabited by 'residents' that increase its statistics or grant bonus effects. Because of this, items have a stat called Population (POP), which limits the amount of Specialists they can hold.
Specialists have their own level, which determines the strength of their effect. Those of the same type can be combined together, adding their levels and freeing up population slots.
Additionally, killing an Item Boss grants the item a permanent bonus based on the single-stat Specialists it has. Visit the Item Bosses page for details.
Types[]
- By default, Specialists come in the
Unsubdued state, and cannot be moved between items. Unsubdued Specialists can be randomly found as neutral units inside the Item World.
- From Disgaea 5 onwards, unsubdued Specialists can be moved but can't be fused.
- Defeating an unsubdued Specialist inside the Item World makes it
Subdued, which doubles its level and makes it possible to move it between items.
- Before Disgaea 5, combining a subdued Specialist with an unsubdued one will undo the subduing, removing the level doubling.
- Disgaea 3 introduced
Unique Specialists, that grant passive effects(similar to Evilities) instead of simple stat bonuses. These Specialists are already subdued, and can't be fused or moved.
Innocent Farm[]
A feature introduced in Disgaea 5, accessed through the NPC in charge of managing Innocents. Innocents can be left in care of the farm, and as the player clears stages the level of those Innocents will grow or new ones will be born. See the corresponding List of Innocents for further details on how it works in each game.
