Netherworld Effects are a gameplay feature available in Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. Certain stages will have special effects applied to them, affecting every unit on the stage or sometimes just one team.
Once the player unlocks the Netherworld Editor they gain the ability to spend 1 level of the Bonus Gauge in order to summon their custom Netherworld, replacing the stage's current effect with the one assigned to the Netherworld(if any).
