Poison is one of the Status Ailments that can be inflicted on characters.
Description[]
It's represented by small purple bubbles(before Disgaea 5) or a purple skull(since Disgaea 5) above a character's head. Units affected by it take damage equal to 20% of their max HP(10% in Disgaea 1) at the start of their turn. Units that were defending before the start of their turn will only lose half the normal amount of HP(so 5% max HP in Disgaea 1, and 10% in subsequent games).
Units that die from Poison damage do not count as being killed by someone, meaning they won't give EXP/Mana and won't increase kill counts.
Specialists[]
Two Specialists deal with the Poison ailment:
- Having a Pharmacist on any equipment increases a character's resistance to the Poison status by 1% per level.
- Having an Alchemist on any equipment gives a character's normal attacks a chance to inflict Poison by 1% per level.
