The board game-esque Chara World of Disgaea 5
The Chara World is a character improvement feature in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. 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.
Chara World becomes available 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.
Once inside the Chara World, on each turn the player has to spin a roulette to determine how much their character will move(akin to rolling a dice), with the objective of reaching the Goal that sends them to the rewards room. The panels of the board grant various bonuses or penalties as you land on them, and if you bump into an enemy you'll spend 1 panel of movement by fighting them.
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.
| Name | Board Size | Enemy Level | Starting Turns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Demon | Small | 24~36 | 20 |
| Demon Lord | Medium | 120~180 | 30 |
| Overlord | Large | 800~1200 | 40 |
| Super Overlord | Extra Large | 7999~9999 | 50 |
Panels[]
Most panels on the board have a special effect(positive or negative) that activates if the player lands on it. Once an effect is played out the panel becomes blank and will play no effect if landed on again.

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. They are exact copies of the character but with a 12.5% base stats boost, and unlike normal enemies they will move through the board. 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.
