What to do with Sorcerer?

[Same]

What are Sorcerers used for, I don't have any experience with them. I've only played Disgaea 1 and 2. How would I go about fighitng and leveling one? Their weapon mastery is garbage other than staves, and they don't have offensive magic.

They're purely a debuffing class. You can more or less skip them, tbh. Most of the debuffs you can get through scrolls from either bottlemails or quests, so the only real reason to rank one up is for the evilities, which aren't really that great either.

The only DLC class that's really "good" by any measure is the Kunoichi, if only because her unique evility is broken as hell.

you could teach them some offensive spells through the master/apprentice system(i forget what it is called in this game)

have a character stand next to a character he has created, and he will be able to use the other ones skills at level 0. If the skill reaches level 1, he will gain it permanently.

Is the master apprentice system still a thing in this game? Because you don't use mana to recruit now.

My sorc learned star at some point naturally, lvl 20-25ish i think.

There is a skill learning squad, (unlocks at chapter nine) that can allow a character to learn other skills, the the char you want to learn from as a leader, then the pupil /s in the other slots

the second is if you use the chara world, but I think the first option would be better.

And there are secret scrolls thich allows you to learn new skills, so there is that option as well.

How did you level yours until then?

I've only played Disgaea 5 a couple of hours but if it's the same as the previous titles you could level up low level chars by :
1) perform adjacent attacks, have two chars stand next to each other and use a strong char to kill a high level enemy, if they perform a combo attack both chars get exp
2) build a tower with low lvl chars and one high level and kill high level enemies
3) have your char out in the open at the end of the stage and grab that bonus gauge xp

I'm sure there are many more ways to do it.

Bonus gauge hasn't seemed to have very much xp up, but i did forget tower attacks, i'll have to remember that.

You muscle through the BS and get them tera spells thats what you do! Magical*Prinny or Metallia can help with the magichange to get them the extra boost needed!

You have to unlock everything in the game through story mode so you unlock a litlle something to help with dillema. Dont forget to have them memorize an evility that self heals them from the zombie sub class.

When you create new chars, you can start them at higher levels for addition fees. So if you already have a char in the 30-40s you should be able to start your sage over 20-25 and it will begin with star. Otherwise I would suggest leveling her via tower attacks in 2-1 map or just grinding a different char to 40 then making her.

I start the game off with an ice witch (witch > skull in early game because mana is an issue), and once I hit my first round of reincarnations (usually when Item world unlocks because they give you a super low lvl item to go through) I change her into a wind witch. Once I'm caught up in levels there I change her into a healer, and then finally into a skull. By that point you should have a few good pieces of gear that have SP so it shouldn't be an issue anymore, and even if it is you can supplement with items (or the Tri-Color Mochi sword as a sub-weapon). Healing magic isn't really that useful compared to items in the early game, especially if you've got a maid on your team.

You could apply the same logic to a sorcerer, even if you're only giving her 1 element.
