The board game-esque Chara World of Disgaea 5
The Chara World is a feature in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance that allows characters to become stronger.
It is opened at the beginning of Episode 6. Entry cost starts at 100 Mana, and each successful visit multiplies the cost by 10, capping at 100,000 Mana. Unlike previous games there's no limit to the amount of visits, with Reincarnation simply resetting the Mana cost back to 100.
It has undergone a major revamp from its previous incarnation, turning the entire feature into a board game rather than just being nearly identical to Item World, while most of its rewards remained the same. On each turn the character will spin a roulette to move, with the objective of reaching the Goal that sends them to the rewards room. The panels of the board grant various bonuses or penalties, depending on the symbol on it. Various enemies can be encountered and fought through the board, and a roulette is also spinned to modify the strength of your attack.
Difficulty[]
Only Demon is available by default, with other difficulties being unlocked by a quest that requires beating the previous difficulty. Super Overlord can only be unlocked once Carnage Dimension is available.

Special Enemies[]
Shadow Characters[]
From Demon Lord Difficulty onwards, a dark-colored variant of the character inside the Chara World will spawn as an enemy. Their stats are usually higher than the chosen character's and unlike normal enemies they can move through the board, but fighting them is important for character growth, as each one defeated increases all Aptitudes by 1%.
Miss Evil[]
Only on Super Overlord difficulty, a powerful enemy known as Miss Evil can be randomly encountered. Miss Evil is stronger than the normal Chara World residents, though she does not scale to the player character's stats like their Shadows do. She can move a long distance, nullifying the effects of every panel she passes through, but disappears after a few turns. Defeating Miss Evil rewards a Common Evility Slot(max 3 times per character), as well as a Dowsing Rod item. After she's been defeated once, a Bill can be passed that ensures she appears on the next Chara World visit.
