Character Selection
Each battle consists of up to 10 characters and/or monsters.
Lifting and Throwing
In Disgaea you can lift and throw other characters and enemies. Lifting and throwing characters, as well as making a huge tower of characters to throw, is a great idea for getting slow characters in the midst of battle quickly. All you need to do is stand next to a character and hit "Lift". You can then throw them 3-6 spaces, depending on the thrower.
Geo Panels / Geo Symbols
Although it sounds complicated at first, you will quickly understand and get the hang of this feature. Geo Panels are designated by areas of colored panels on the floor. These tiles are controlled by a Geo Symbol, which is on one of the panels within the effected area.
Geo Symbols impose certain effects on all panels in the area of effect, some good, most of them bad. In order to get rid of the effect, you will need to destroy the Geo Symbol creating the effect, but there is an additional issues with this. If the color of the Geo Symbol is the same color as the floor, the effect will simply disappear. If you destroy a Geo Symbol on a floor that's a different color, the colored tiles will disappear and damage everything that's in the effected range. This can be great for damaging enemies, but can also damage your party. Note that you can pick up Geo Symbols and throw them to another area if desired.
