I translated all of this info from a Japanese Disgaea wiki, which is very informative. The Warrior class is one of the initial classes of Disgaea 3, but that doesn’t take anything away from its value. A solidly equipped Valkyrie or Warrior created early in the game will serve you well right up into the post-game.

When deciding whether to go with the Valkyrie or Warrior, the main question to consider is what weapon you are more interested in incorporating into your party. Judging by their rank 6 Evilities, it’s clear that the male Warrior is best equipped with an Axe, and the Valkyrie is best equipped with a Spear. Axes can be tricky, since they miss often, and have few special attacks which hit multiple targets. Spears are more accurate, offer a range increase, and have more area-affecting skills. Axes can do more damage than Spears to a single target (assuming the Axe doesn’t miss), making them great for cutting down bosses, but hard for fast leveling.

It is interesting to note that in my Disgaea 3 guide, performing the maximum damage is not possible without a Valkyrie and an Orc. The Orc (which has max stats) performs a Magichange allowing the Valkyrie to wield it. The Valkyrie has max stats, including maximum possible movement. She takes 10 steps increasing her attack by 100%.
