SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V Vengeance true masakado [HARD] beaten

So this fight is actually a joke. This save file is only on ng+ and I did not use any balms on NG+ and stopped using demon haunts like around shinagawa. Arioch only got pumped with battle sutra and asura also only got pumped with battle sutra.
I used a testament table and dumped all my points into vit so I can live from a crit freikugel.
I used arioch cuz hes just broken ngl, asura because his passive means he always lands the figment slash, I went tankbino because it makes this fight a joke and I picked sukuya because MP otherwise I wouldve brought like idun or something.

Zeus also really op. has a stock ability to increase his accuracy, crit rate and damage based on allies alive in stock during battle.

[@wubbawubba3396]

It doesn't increase his damage, just crit rate and accuracy.

[@HispachioZ]

Felt like this lmaooo

“Mouth” yeah sure 😏

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

This is like the first gimmickless, straightforward engage with the fight clear of this boss i have seen lol

[@aishalee4572]

Using the Nahobino as bait is pretty ballsy. I can respect that.

[@lewisspring35]

Masakado's AI will replace elemental attacks he uses with Freikugel if that element was nulled, repelled or drained in the precious turn. Since Naho always ends his turn by draining his attack, Masakado will usually only ever get to use Freikugel once, which can be dodged with LumiMirage. This is why using Block passives instead of Repel or Drain passives for Masakado is a bad idea.

@@lewisspring35 yeah, otherwise your tank will need to guard to block freikugels

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

Arioch is so OP with Avenger. I would use him if he weren't so ugly to look at lol.

[@punkapunk9917]

Some demons are cool because they're ugly..
like Pisaca, Arioch, Eisheth, & a few others in my opinion

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

@@punkapunk9917 I mean, they're ugly by design, which is cool. Honestly I'm mostly joking for Arioch. I will probably use him if I have my entire stock die to some superboss. It's actually hard to kill off your demons than it is to heal them, at some point.

[@aokyoutsuki7744]

Still wonder besides him, what demonic authority would be his equal, belial is taken, and i guess the others are stuck in JPEG jail like lucifuge and such

[@tomatopawah6877]

He was really obnoxious in DeSu, I don't see myself ever using him again

[@thekirbycrafter7229]

​@@punkapunk9917speak for yourself, id def do some things with eisheth

Don’t care how op Arioch is i am not using him 😂

[@deGoomyan5538]

I hate the design so much. Im sticking with Yoshitsune

[@mochie9360]

I would use nahobeeho for my figment user

[@samza9233]

same, I used Gogmagog instead

[@nezumixp6744]

Same lol

[@KishinAubrey]

@@samza9233instead of asura in this strat you can use preta who has the same focused assault trait but more weaknesses for gog damage, and level 99 figment slash preta is funny of course

[@biyanshandy8425]

It is hillarious to see Arioch dealing a crap ton of damage with that dinky sword 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@_GLXC]

awesome. sakuya dying at the end means even more damage to vaginoch

[@kingkobra4910]

I’m not looking forward to a true masakado fight I barely beat him with omnipotent succession and savage murakumo

[@jaffinator2166]

Question because I’m curious. Why do Bino and Sakuya not have Boon Boost or Boon Boost EX? Since Masakado is like, the only Atlus superboss ever to not have some sort of buff/debuff move or Dekaja/Dekunda it’s completely safe

[@sonicsucks2961]

I didn’t think about using those. Could kill him in less turns since sakuya is spending more time using donum than buffing.

[@ogre589]

How much you wanna bet Dekaja and Dekunda would be in his moveset if the buff system worked like Nocturne/4/Apocalypse instead of Persona.

[@yasahana4447]

he doesn't have Dekunda cause he gets innate crit% and damage when he's debuffed.​@@ogre589

wait what essence did u use for nahobino

Masakado is weak to physical?

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Weak to everything

[@fullfrontal4345]

I see. I thought there is demon that can change enemy weakness.

[@ReversedJrpgs]

Kinda lame that we don't get anything for beating true masakado, so many deaths and for what? For fucking what? 😂

[@Poyomini]

Basically, bragging rights.

[@dantemustdie00]

How is Figment Slash hitting 100% accurate?

[@thegoodvillain777]

Beast eye and dragon eye.

[@dantemustdie00]

@@thegoodvillain777 I guess Figment Slash is more accurate than Heavy Slash then cause that move almost never hits even with both eye skills
