Paralysis is one of the Status Ailments that can be inflicted on characters.
Description[]
It's represented by white lightning bolts with black outlines above the character's head. Units affected by it are unable to move and (from Disgaea 2 onwards) their SPD is reduced to 1. They can, however, still attack.
Specialists[]
Two Specialists deal with the Paralysis ailment:
- Having a Medicine Man on any equipment increases a character's resistance to the Paralysis status by 1% per level. (Note: Due to a possible reference error in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, the Social Worker increases Paralysis resistance in that game instead)
- Having a Witch Doctor on any equipment gives a character's normal attacks a chance to inflict Paralysis by 1% per level.
