In the Disgaea series, every individual unit has a class they're a part of. Their class determines their weapon proficiencies, statistics, movement range, jump height, throw range and throw height. In addition, each class is also classified as either a "humanoid" class or a "monster" class. Humanoid classes can equip any of the seven (eight in Disgaea D2) primary types of weapons, but monster classes can only equip monster weapons and are also incapable of lifting other units. In addition, prior to Disgaea 5, monster classes could not gain weapon mastery.
Generic classes also have multiple tiers, each with higher stats than the previous one.
In Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, characters can gain experience in classes, which ultimately results in an automatic upgrade to the next tier after enough experience is earned to master a class.
Generic characters can change classes by reincarnating, which allows them to learn the abilities of another class, and keep their old spells, if their experience of each ability is high enough to stay learning.
List of classes
Below are charts of each generic class and each game they have appeared in, organized by which game the classes first appeared in, and separated by humanoid and monster classes. For special classes held by unique characters, see the individual class list pages for each game.
