How to steal in Disgaea 6, and how to increase your success rate at stealing

In this game it is extremely important to steal, such as whenever you see enemies with great items such as legendary rarity items or even items found on Item Gods 1 and 2. For instance, one guaranteed way to get a rank 40 item is to go into the item world of a rank 39 item, go to floor 100, and steal the rank 40 item from the Item God 2 boss.

Stealing is very different compared to the old Disgaea games, where you could’ve just used a “stealing hand” item with your thief to steal items from your enemies.

To steal in Disgaea 6, you need to unlock the thief class. See our guide on how to unlock all character classes in the game, but in general you can unlock the thief class as soon as you unlock the Quest Shop which is very early in the game.

Next, go to the Skill Shop and ensure you have the skills equipped to steal. Unlike other Disgaea games, you use the thief’s skills to steal, NOT “stealing hand” items.

The skills Cat Snatch and Grand Theft will steal items from enemies (the former being one item from one enemy, and the latter stealing items from all enemies), and Chest Sweep will let your thief steal items from treasure chests.

To increase the rate of success at stealing, you’ll need to level the aforementioned skills. You can also increase these skills’ proficiencies to reduce their SP cost, but otherwise strengthening the skills will keep making them cost more and more SP.

To offset this, you’ll need to level up your thief and increase her SP, most likely by using the Juice Bar, which itself requires farming for HL currency and SP extracts. You don’t need to increase the strength of Chest Sweep, though, you’ll steal from chests at a 99% success rate.

We grinded our thief so that she had quintillions of SP, and then maxed out the skills to 9999 each. Grand Theft (a chance of stealing from all enemies) maxes at a 25% success rate of stealing, Cat Snatch (steals one item from one enemy) maxes at a 50% success rate, and Chest Sweep always has a 99% success rate.

In our experience though, it’s best to use Cat Snatch to try to steal the item you want, even though Grand Theft looks like fun, it actually has a very bad chance of stealing from all enemies and is very imprecise.
