Etna: Best weapon?

[BustedHipGaming]

She seems to have the highest affinity for spear or axe; what do you guys arm her with?

[Tomberry Blue]

I like to go with axes because spears tend to lack damage and the skills anren't very good either.

Sometimes I still go with spears though because I like spears.

And sometimes I go with some other weapon because I'm feeling cheeky that day...

Yeah I was thinking Axe for the damage. Spears are kinda near for the "attack on the corner" ability, though, and she would be my only spear character. Hm.

I let etna use sword for the 3x3 panel attack. Much easier for her to reach 1000+ levels.

Between Spear and Axe... one has some AoE stuff but poor ATK and skill power, the other has great ATK and power but is only ever single target. I'd prefer Axe on Etna, and instead have your Spear user be someone you wouldn'y mind being your main unit for a time, especially if you grind out Armsmasters.

Dat 30 mastery spear is beautiful <3

But, like Blueberry said, Sword is ultimately the best option for any unit with decent capability for it. The weapons have good ATK, the skills have good power, and it

Armsmaster is an innocent found on various items. When you equip something with it, you gain weapon mastery faster. 100 Armsmaster doubles the amount gained per weapon action... it caps out at 1900, for a total of 20 times the normal mastery gain, with every weapon action.

Still called specialists in this game. They didn't change it for some reason.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the various Disgaea games set in parallel dimensions? Thus it's possible that in Disgaea 1's dimension they are known as specialists, while in the dimensions for disgaea 2 and 3 they're known as innocents?

exactly this.

Disgaea games (and some other NIS franchise games) are set up in parallel dimensions. Each one even having their own tag (which seems to be known to some overlords, calling their dimensions by some number/code/etc.)

There are even issues with language between dimensions, so ofc. they will have different words for specialists/innocents, etc...

The series universe has several Netherworlds, which can be moved around and travelled between, so unless proven otherwise, most games are just in a different physical location within the same dimension. Disgaea 1, 2, 4, and D2 are directly connected in story and characters, but only D2 has implication of being an alternate dimension.

I just kind of assumed that they changed the name to "innocents" because of the felony mechanic in 2 and just kept it that way.

Give her a gun. Trust me.

[Zuloph]

I personally give her an Axe. My reasoning for this is axe users don't get any ranged attacks until way later (if at all, can't remember if they even do in this game) if you're playing through normally, but Etna learns Prinny Raid pretty early on which has 3 range. Plus she gets some other uniques with range on them.
