Facilities are one of the most important aspects of Makai Kingdom: Reclaimed and Rebound. We’d go so far as to say they’re as important as your units, and your units are Lord Zetta’s lifeblood. And Lord Zetta is the main character.
But facilities are more than just a way to house your units. We’ll cover everything they offer, so you can decide which ones work best for your particular strategy. But first, we’ll help you make sense of the convoluted mechanics involved in actually crafting facilities because you’ll be stuck with your starter pack if you don’t make some sterling wishes with Zetta.
How to Build New Facilities
Right, then. Unless you’re positively enamored with that doghouse, you’ll be wanting some more facilities ASAP. Somewhat surprisingly, level is not an issue. You can start pumping these out at level 1, but that’s probably not something that will happen often. Mana, after all, is the key ingredient. And mana doesn’t exactly grow on trees.
But collect it, you must, and the costs for new facilities predictably rise as their overall usefulness increases. Grind away to your heart’s content, and if your heart’s evil enough that you don’t care about receiving Makai Kingdom’s good ending, create new units only to slice and dice them up nice and deadly to boost your army’s mana levels exponentially.
Here’s the tricky part. There are five conditions that must be fulfilled in order to build a new facility. For whatever reason, Lord Zetta isn’t especially forthcoming with this information; you’ll receive an error message telling you that you lack the requirements to meet a certain condition, but not all five at once. Many players have been left scratching their heads five times in a row, then, until at last they’ve sorted the whole shebang. Let’s make things easier and list them all ahead of time, shall we?
- The character you have chosen must not be equipped with anything. No weapon, no armor, no accessories. This is the game’s way of ensuring you don’t inadvertently lose some spiffy piece in the process.
- Nor can the character presently be held within another facility. In cheeky Nippon Ichi fashion, this one’s likely to say, “if you pluck them out of here, they’ll just hit their head on the roof.” Or maybe we’re reading too much into it.
- They can’t be your leader. Since the game wouldn’t know who you want to swap leadership with, you’re avoiding a right mess. Instead, chat with Zetta and make the wish that lets you change your leader beforehand if necessary.
- Each time a new facility is made, it tries to take the place of one of the quartet of facilities visible at your main hub. If you’ve already hit the maximum of four, your attempt will result in failure. Stash one of the preexisting buildings. Or just toss it out of bounds, if you’re feeling frisky about it.
- Lastly, the character can’t be waltzing around in the hub carrying anything on their person. This is for the best since you can carry other characters and all. We wouldn’t want to sacrifice two of them, now, would we?
This leads us to the next point. Make no mistake, you’re killing the character. They’ll be available for resurrection instantly with everything they’ve already learned. You can go ahead and re-equip them then, try out a new class, whatever floats your boat. But there’s a rather gruesome little scene beforehand that might make you feel like a jerk.
Worth it.
Every Facility in Makai Kingdom
Welcome to the meat of our guide. Now that you know how to make these things, it’s time to bask in the glory of what they can do for you. Just a quick note beforehand: you can throw facilities. This is kind of a game-changer. It means you can extend the range of a building’s stat boosts indefinitely; all it takes is enough turns to get them wherever you’d like them to be. In normal fights, this won’t be necessary. During tougher fare like Event Dungeons? Fantastic stuff.

It is what it is. Nothing to write home about, and there's another facility — that can actually be created! — that does the same job without looking so depressing. |

Well, it houses one extra unit than the doghouse, so that's nice. A ten percent boost to every stat is situationally acceptable, but there are generally more specialized selections that are just plain better. |

Might seem utterly useless at first glance, but there are occasions in which the warehouse is a fine pick. If you want to lug around a variety of character types, tossing this building over and over again until you're within striking range of a boss unit, you could do far worse. |

As the upgraded version of the Tribal Hut, the Command Center is its replacement. No sense using the older one once you have the mana prerequisites to meet the job here. |

Absolutely fantastic. A must-have on replay maps and generally anyplace you aren't remotely afraid of getting into a scrap. Leveling to absurdly high numbers is part of the Disgaea universe's charm, including Makai Kingdom. |

Arguably more straight-to-the-point than Attack-boosting facilities. The real kicker here, however, is that if you manage to drop a graveyard on your enemies, they're inflicted with a whopper's worth of status effects: Paralyze, Poison, and Dazed. |

The library stands alongside the school and is invaluable on easier maps and during stage replays. This is a huge gain in weapon mastery and will forge a stronger army for you. |
