Hints & Tips

Easier experience
When you are in stage 5, level 3 (Terrible Cold), there is only one Geopanel that does not have the invincibility attribute. Combine all the enemies by throwing them into each other, making one high level enemy. Throw the enemy onto the Geopanel that is green. Trap him/her on the Geopanel without invincibility by surrounding him with your characters. Since all of your characters are on invincible panels you cannot be beaten, yet you can wear down the high-level enemy who is trapped on the non-invincible panel. This is a excellent way to jump 10 levels at once early in the game.

Reach the Jotunheim episode and go to Terrible Cold area. The whole map will be invincible except for one spot. Throw all of the Sexy Demons together. This should get you roughly a level 114 Demon. After that, throw her to the corner at the top of the map that has the "None" status and surround her, one on each side. It helps if your attack is at 300 on each of the characters that are attacking. It also speeds the method if you bring one or two Mages with Brave Heart. Keep casting that on your characters every turn, as it is stackable. This trick is worth the time, and gains roughly four to six levels for each character in the team attack.

When you are in episode 9, level 1, there are only nine enemies in this level. They are in a 3x3 block. Then use Mage's 9 square attack or Laharl's Winged Slayer attack to hit all of them at the same time. For any that stay, use your lower characters to finish them off. You should be able to kill all the enemies on your first turn, so you are never hurt. This normally works when you are between level 20 and 45 to 50.

Ask the assembly to "Triple EXP" then make your way to the Jutenheim area "Terrible Cold". Give the character you wish to level up your best items because they will need them, depending on what point in the game you are at. Throw all the enemies into each other, which will create a level 112 enemy. Then throw the enemy onto the non-invincible square and kill it. You will receive the experience of killing a level 336 character. By doing this three times, a level 1 character will be at level 50.

Proceed to Field of Virtue in Celestia. Throw all of them in one square, fusing them into one, and kill him. Together with the Exp +100% Geo Effect, the experience you receive will be enough for a low-level character (-50) to attain decent levels. This works better with triple experience in Dark Congress. Statisticians also help, but will not change much unless you have 300 of it.

Getting Testaments
Go to Prinny Land 3 periodically, as you can steal Testament from Prinny God as many times as you like.

Overlord Priere
Finish the "Alternate Netherworld" Side Area to acquire Priere. To beat Priere, after killing the other two monsters, throw her to one of the floating square around the stage, and pummel using Dimension Slash (or any other desired skill/magics). If you are using physical attacks, having more than 45000 ATK is strongly suggested. Note: Her accessory Arcadia cannot be stolen.

Etna's diary
There are two hidden switches in the castle. One is behind the throne, and another is near the skull on the counter of the Rosenqueen shops. Flip both of them to allow you to access Etna's diary, which is in the center corner of the intermediate hallway between the throne room and the shops. If you visit this area time and again for each chapter, you will be rewarded with a Testament item in the final chapter.

Better hospital items
When you do earn prizes at the Netherworld hospital, you can receiverare versions of the prizes. When a prize is available, just keep selecting "Get Treated" and go back and look at the prize in "Claim Prize". The stats will have been altered. Keep repeating this until it has the stats or rarity you want. Note: You do not have to heal anyone when you are selecting to be treated.

Capturing monsters
In order to catch any monster type character in the game, just pick up a enemy and toss them in your base panel. When the enemy is in your base panel, all of your characters in the base panel will attempt to make the enemy submit. If you catch it, that character will be in your party after you finish your current stage. Note: You will not be able to catch Bosses or humanoids.

Ronin with 777 HP
Create a Ronin and make her skilled. Then get her to level 27 (she will have Counter 2). Equip her with these items : Broad Sword (Rarity 83, SP+ 6, Atk+ 65), Power Jacket (Rarity 217, HP+ 4, ATK+ 15, DEF+ 51), (Rare) Belt of Will (Rarity 17, HP+ 9, ATK+ 47, DEF+ 3), Muscle Victory (Rarity 88, HP+ 311, RES+ 25). If this does not work, attempt to put these items on her when you create her. Rarity will matter.

Get the most out of your turn
If you are attempting to level all of your characters by using team attacks, etc., move all your characters into a position for a team attack. As long as none of them besides the initial attacker have not done anything, after the team attack you can move them back to their original spots and move them once again. Repeat this as you like. This also works if your characters are just out of a healers range; you can move them, heal them, then move them back into battle.

Training high-level characters
As you get ready to level-up the characters, you will need a a lot of amount of money; 3 billion HL is good, but you could gain money quickly by entering the World of some powerful item, and then by selling it. Guessing that you have the highest Customer Rank, shop around and look for items on sale with at least one 40 Statistician on it. Then go into its world and subdue the specialist. Note: By having the "exit" will save a lot of time. For one unsubdued 40 specialist, you will have 80 when its subdued. Attempt to subdue and fuse them until they are exactly or more than 300; which will mean you will need 150 Unsubdued Statistician. Equip the item with the 300 Statistician you have just made to the character you wish to train. Then, go to Cave of Ordeal 3 and keep killing the monsters there. Having the 300 Statistician that will actually multiple your experience. You will be leveling up four times quicker than normal. However, tripling the experience using Dark Congress will not help much; it only applies to one monster. If you locate Cave of Ordeal 3 too hard, go to Field Of Virtue in Celestia instead. Then, fuse all the vampires into one and kill it. Also use this way when your character has just transmigrated and is not powerful enough to finish Cave of Ordeal 3 by himself or herself. After one hundred levels (or several hundred after 1500+), transmigrate. This means that if the level before transmigration was 300, then transmigrate when you attain 400. Do not transmigrate when the level is lower than it was previous, as this will weaken your character. Always make sure to transmigrate your character as a genius. If you do not do this, it beats the purpose of transmigrating. Make sure to raise the monsters' levels after they become too slow. If you raise the monsters' levels to max, clearing the Cave of Ordeal 3 (level 750 and 810) will give you 20 level boosts after going past level 2000. If you want to level-up multiple characters, then it is suggested to obtain another 300 Statistician, considering that you cannot transfer specialists within battles. Level up your weapons as much as you. Get the legendary weapon by stealing from monsters or by bonus, and try to max it out to level 100. It is critical to transfer as many specialists as possible; they boost the weapon power. Specialists' power does not count just try to fill the item with the same specialists. For example, if you were using a sword, then fill the sword with Dieticians (legendary items have 9-13 Pop in default) and boost its level. For the bow, fill it with half Dieticians and Marksmen. It is critical to beat all the Bosses in the Item world, as they raise item power or Pop. After finishing the 30th, 60th, and 90th floor, add another Dietician to it. To deal more damage, train your weapon mastery skills. Using the method for Statician, collect 1900 subdued Armsmaster, equip it, and proceed to a stage with invincibility. Fervent Melody in Sea of Gehenna is suggested. Once there, get an ally to pummel each other, rather than just killing monsters as normal. This strategy can gain mastery skills much quicker, and you can do this as much as you like. After you are done, finish the stage. Raising the levels of each skills, however, is a big challenge. Since there is no way to boost the speed of gaining skills' levels (Armsmasters do not help them), all you can do is keep using it. This is, however, not suggested for monster characters; their skill levels will be reset to zero every time they transmigrate. The same is true for character-specific skills.

Higher Dark Assembly influence
When you are at the screen where you can select which character will address the Dark Assembly, choose any character. Once someone is selected, return to the screen that you were just at. Then, select the same character once again. Your Assembly Influence has now changed to a higher or lower number. Do this as many times as you like. The number should almost always change.

Witch Marjoly
Complete the "Beauty Castle" Side Area to gain Marjoly. To beat Marjoly, deal with the two mages first so they will not heal anybody. Then pummel her with your best attacks before she uses any of her powerful spells. Note: None of her items cannot be stolen.

Tyrant
When the "Baal Castle" Side Area is finished, Laharl will be promoted to the "Tyrant". Whenever Laharl enters the Dark Congress, his "reputation" will be boosted, meaning that almost any proposal will be approved without bribing at all.

Senator Gift List rankings
This a list in order from best to last when you "Give Gifts" to the Senators in order to have them vote in your favor when you are submitting a proposal:

2. Strongly For
3. In Favor Of
4. Leaning Yes
5. Either Way
6. Leaning No
7. Against
8. Strongly Against
9. Loathe
10. Total Opposition

Of course, giving them an item that has "Must Have!" will certainly jump at least one space. If you give them an item that they are just "Interested" in, it may take two or more depending on their level. Giving them any lesser items is a waste of items unless you are in need of votes.
