Unlock Mao in disgaea 5 alliance of vengeance by completing The Field Trip DLC. Learn about his skills, Evilities like Live Experiment, and Overload Astaroth Reform.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To unlock Mao as a playable unit in disgaea 5 alliance of vengeance, you must complete all of the maps in the DLC episode 'The Field Trip'.
  2. 2
    Mao can be a decent character to use due to his unique Evility, 'Live Experiment', which is considered one of the better DLC Evilities because it directly increases damage.
  3. 3
    He possesses high aptitudes for both ATK and INT, making him effective with swords (S rank) and capable of learning magic up to Omega Ice and Mega Star naturally.
Tips
  • Mao's unique Evility, 'Live Experiment', increases damage dealt by allies within three panels by 20% and damage received by enemies within three panels by 20%. This means an enemy and ally within range take 40% extra damage.
  • 'Star Gazing' increases star damage dealt by 20% and decreases star damage taken by 20%. This can be useful as star magic is often less resisted.
  • 'Weak Searcher' increases critical rate by 20% when glasses items are equipped, which is good for early to mid-game but less useful in the endgame when higher-tier items are used.
  • 'Improved Alchemy', when equipped and Mao is the leader of the Alchemy Squad, allows for the synthesis of Chara World items, simplifying Chara World traversal.

Skills:

  • Blast Finger (Lv 8)
  • Shine Beam (Lv 42, Star element)
  • Vasa Aergun (Lv 80, Star element)
  • Ultimate Bookmark (Combo with Raspberyl)

Overload:

Mao’s Overload is called 'Astaroth Reform'. It boosts the stats of all allies' equipment by 50% for three turns. This is beneficial early to mid-game but becomes less useful in the endgame, especially in Carnage Dimension maps, as equipment stats are typically maxed out by then.

Base Stats: Move 5, Jump 25, Range 1, Throw 5, Counter 2, Critical 10%.

Resistances: Fire -25%, Ice 50%, Wind 0%, Star 25%, Fist -10%, Sword 10%, Spear 0%, Bow -10%, Gun 0%, Axe 0%, Staff 10%, Monster 10%.

Weapon Masteries: Fist C, Sword S, Spear B, Bow C, Gun B, Axe C, Staff B, Armor C.
