It was another day of duping in Disgaea 3, as I spent a few hours duping mastery residents and statisticians. Despite some slow stretches, I’ve got enough now to fill up one person with statisticians and cover the weapon masteries of my main characters, so I think I’ll stop there for now. Along the way I also remembered to enter the hidden 10th floor portal (opened by clearing all the geos on the 10th floor) and use it to increase the sizes of clubs and get the legendary skills. I only saw the legendary skill trainer once though, so all I have is one of the sword skills so far. I also swapped roles and used Laharl to work on my character’s class world for a bit, getting him the movement and throw range increases.

I tested some of the new mastery specialists out on my personal character, and, the results were rather, um, dramatic:

Just the addition of the Fist Fighter and Guardian specialists were enough to quintuple my ATK rating.

I then filled Laharl up with Statisticians after one round in HoO4, he shot straight from level 1 to 1849. Soon afterwards I used them to level myself, Laharl, and my female ninja all the way up to level 9999 fairly quickly, though still slower than how I’ll be doing it in Land of Carnage…

Speaking of which, it’s almost time to start delving into LoC. I just need to dupe up some more of the dual-specialists to fill out more accessories (I only have enough for one right now) and beat enough of the X-Dimension maps. I started on some of them tonight, beating enough of them to get the Naive Glasses reward (makes you guaranteed to hit), and although they reuse the same chapters and names from the story missions, they’re definitely a lot trickier and tougher. I gave up on them for the night when a stray shot from an enemy archer destroyed the geo block I absolutely needed to complete the map.
