Ordeals 4 is the standard power leveling map in Disgaea games, but in Disgaea 2 (Dark Hero Days, the PSP version) the enemy formation is 2×4 instead of 3×3, meaning I can't kill them all in one turn. They're too spaced out and no attack (that I know of) has an AoE that hits all of them in one strike.
Is there a better map or some ability that will let me hit everyone on the map in one move? Using two characters to kill them in two attacks is painfully slow, and I don't know of any attack AoE that will kill the 2×4 formation.
Powerleveling on this map takes too long so I gave up, but I wonder if there is a better way. Magichange is an option but I don't know of any magichange weapon attacks that have this range either.

There is no skill that has an area of effect large enough to cover all 8 squares of the 2x4 configuration of enemies in the Cave of Ordeals 4. It will take you a minimum of two characters to clear CoO4.
Here are some skills with very large area of effect:
CoO4 is still the best level to gain levels fast. The official Disgaea 2 Strategy guide by Doublejump books has a very long procedure for power leveling. Here are the high points:
(Seriously, that's the short version.)
At the final step, and every other step where non-monsters need to level up, CoO4 is the place to go.
