■ Base Facilities

■ Base Prep: Create and Strengthen Your Army
You can scout characters when the Scout Shop becomes available.
You can add generic characters such as Fighters and Mages to your party by scouting them at the Scout Shop.
In order to scout new party members at the Scout Shop, you must have the in-game currency HL to spend.
Accumulate a lot of HL, scout your favorite characters, and build the ultimate army!
—You will only be able to scout a few characters at first, but as you progress through the story, you will be able to scout all sorts of characters.
Characters you have developed can become stronger through “Reincarnation.” By reincarnating a character, their level will return to 1, but the strength of their original class will carry over.
For example, if you reincarnate a developed Warrior into a Mage, you can create a Mage that excels in physical attacks.
Reincarnate and re-training numerous times over will make a big difference. Utilize Reincarnation to develop characters all your own.
—Reincarnation can be performed at The Dark Assembly.
■ Base Prep: Upgrade Items at the Item Worlder
Characters can be reincarnated, so why not items? After upgrading items at the Item Worlds in randomly generated dungeons, peform “Item Reincarnation.” You may even create an item with crazy abilities!
—In Disgaea 7, you can even reincarnate items!
—Clear an Item World to increase the items level, and then reincarnate!
To perform Item Reincarnation, you must clear the Item World of that item. The Item World is a mysterious dungeon within that item. You can challenge them from the Item Worlder.
