-- Make sure Laharl learns to heal himself (and pals). Do this by making a Cleric pupil for him and have them stand right next to each other, this allows Laharl to access all the cleric's spells. if he uses the spell enough times while standing next to the pupil, it will level up and he will be able to use it on his own.

-- Anyone can steal, provided they use a stealing hand item, However almost everyone is absolutely DREADFUL at it. except Rogues! keep one good and leveled up to steal things; as the chance to steal an item is reliant on the level of the person using a steal hand, and the steal hand's accuracy.

-- You can, and probably should, just focus on Laharl for the main game. When equipped with your best gear and levelled properly, he can molest anything the game throws your way.

-- To get Mr. Gency's Exit items for the item world, buy the cheapest item you can, like fairy dusts. The enemies will be a joke, and you can stock up on Exits just by reaching levels 10,20 etc. It's a good idea to have several exits in your inventory.

+* Transmigration lets you start a character over at level one. If they belong to a generic class, you can change their class as part of this process.
 (A good time to do this is when your character is pretty high in level, and you can afford to do it at "Genius" level. This will give you the highest possible stats to start out with. The higher a stat is at level one, the faster it will grow, which lets your character get stupidly powerful fast.)
-- Against MidBoss for the first time, Lose to him purposefully. You will be allowed to make a second cycle, and from there you will be able to get Pleinare (the NPC with the blue hair and white dress). She is an extra character, a really damn good one. Her Speed allows her to dodge almost everything if she's the same level as the target. You can give her fist weapons and she'll pretty much solo the game.

-- Try to avoid creating characters at good for nothing, and aim for at least average. It's also not worth it to create at distinguished or genius, because of the mana cost and requirement to pass bills at the Dark Assembly.

-- Disgaea is very different from other SRPGs, but if you want to have an easy time of it, use less than a handful of characters. You can bring out ten, but you'll never have that many at a decent level anyway. It's easiest if you just focus on Laharl, teach him Heal and have him pretty much solo everything, although that may not be much fun.

-- To teach Laharl Heal, have him create a Cleric, then in battle position the Cleric next to him and have him cast it several times until he gets to level 1 in it. Note that you can bring out Laharl and your cleric, have Laharl cast Heal and Execute it, then cancel the Cleric's move to put it back in the base before you End Turn, keeping it out of danger.

-- Never do Item World runs early on. If you can kill/move Gatekeepers in two hits on the same turn and clear all 10 floors (10 is all you need for story missions) in around 15 minutes, then you are not wasting your time.
