Evilities

Rank Ability Effect
1 Dodge Master Equipment Aptitude for SPD stat is increased by 10%
1 Resistance Mastery Equipment Aptitude for RES stat is increased by 10%
1 Poison Prevention The chance of Brute Warrior being inflicted with Poison is decreased by 50%.
2 Ultra-Adrenaline Every time Brute Warrior kills an enemy unit, his stats increase 5%.
4 Forgotten Arts When Brute Warrior is inflicted with Forget, his ATK increases 50%.
6 Fury Strike When equipped with an Axe, Brute Warrior’s critical hit damage is increased 100%, but his accuracy decreases 30%.

I translated all of this info from a Japanese Disgaea wiki, which is very informative. The Brute Warrior is made for the front ranks of a team. Their job is to blow through enemies with no regard for their own status or HP. For this reason it may be advantageous to also have a Cleric in the back ranks to keep his HP up.

Brute Warriors are always weak to magic, and in Disgaea 3 specifically, his weaknesses are Fire (-50%), and Wind (-25%). This of course means to avoid the Magic users of the corresponding colors. Since the Brute Warrior has one of the highest HP scores in the game, it shouldn’t be a huge concern.

Fury Strike is possibly the Brute Warrior’s most interesting skill. By equipping him with an Axe, critical hits will deal twice as much damage. But how can we guarantee a critical hit? Why our friend Male Gunner of course. The Gunner’s Evility means that the people who attack after him in a combo attack always hit critically. This means a team of two male Gunners, a Brute Warrior, and an Ifrit would gain incredible momentum on the battlefield.

The only problem is of course making sure the Brute Warrior actually lands the hit. He suffers a low HIT score and Fury Strike lowers it another 30%. My suggestion would be to equip him with a fine pair of spectacles and hope for the best.

Check back for more info as I am always on the lookout for news on Disgaea 3.

      I would like to make a quick correction. In the NA release the prerequisite for this class is Amror knight and Beast Master lvl 40. Just unlocked the class last night. My favorite class thus far.

      Great post Roy. The gunner/barbarian combo is extremely effective.

      Gotcha corrections made. Thanks man, I haven’t gotten the Berserker yet, but I have been enjoying my Cheerleader/Shaman combo. It helps a bit for boss battles.
      In terms of offense right now I really like my Saber Cat and Fight Mistress.
      I made the mistake of transmigrating my Female Gunner, which set me back on my goal of making a Masked Hero. Oh well…
