  • Demifiend sure is a fun fight! 30 minutes is still fast. Only used 6 demons and didn't abuse funny repel physical strat because I'm not lame. Also didn't get the phase skip on mediarahan because I'm not that lucky. Could prob do this in like 15 if I really wanted to grind it out. Anyway please enjoy!

    When Demi-fiend is nearing half health, you can consider using Omagatoki skill Accursed Poison from a Demon with Avian race to Seal Demi-fiend 100%. With this he won't be able to use Mediarahan, saving time.

      @@jackfavvv0280 I'm sure your here cuz of vengeance bring it to a ton of new people despite this being an original release video (there have been lots of balancing changes so while this video still helps with mechanics specific moves or strats might not be as optimal anymore)... if you are new WELCOME!! I am here myself since its been 2-3 years and god i need to refresh before diving in fully again xd
      But to explain one of the many specific mechanics on this fight, regarding his heal, he has 60k health, using it at half health (if you want to keep a calculator on hand just count your damage up to 30k to know when hes gunna use it), and if you are able to seal him when he tried to do it.... HE WILL NOT TRY AGAIN. He gets one attempt and thats it. There are conflicting reports that charm and sleep / confusion may or may not work. Some say it still takes his use of it, some say he uses it when waking up. So seal is the only TRUE way to skip the full heal. Cuts the fight down by 1/3rd and depending on your team is completely necessary to win without the fight lasting 30 mins.

    As far as straightforward tactics this is a very good run, and the commentary does add a nice bit of context. I don't necessarily agree on you're aversion to "cheese" tactics as they are what really pushes the envelope for these sorts of things. One example being the 6 minute or so run done by i think a chinese player using the beast magatsushi skill with endure to do safety difficulty levels of damage to demi on hard. Compared to that using phys repel switches just seems fair lol. Then again I'm using a luck build ailment MC so I suppose I just really like it when people break out of the mold and try things wierdly, it can be refreshing as heck to see things you never thought would even function turn into sheer ridiculous tactics!

    Damn I am late to the party but finally beat Demi-Fiend on Hard Mode.
    Had to Switch from a Figment Slash build to Murakumo of course with Revival Chant.
    MVP was Zhuque and his Accursed Poison Magatsuhi(tip from bainz’s channel, guaranteed to Seal Demi-Fiend and stops his Full Heal to party.) Was able to cut his health down by 30k and then it was just about playing smart/staying alive and consistently putting damage.
    I pulled off no Abysmal Mask on Casual/Normal but they’re indeed a must on Hard. Even if you get him close to death that Chaotic Will always prematurely ends the attempt. That and those Figment Slash misses, just too much RNG on hard mode.

  • @sg79453

    Don't know if you know this yet, but BuffMaister just released a vid showing that you can skip Demi-Fiend using Mediarahan by using Accursed Poison (Magatsuhi skill), which more or less has a 100% of inflicting Seal. Pretty neat exploit to know

    • @EnelXC
      @EnelXC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I got the phase skip a few times with charm but a consistent way to do it seems cool, though not sure if I like exploits that much, which is why I didn't abuse the phys repel stuff here. I think it's more interesting this way, If I abused every broken mechanic i could prob do this fight in under 10 minutes if I tried hard enough. Atleast under 15.

  • @Relisoc
    @Relisoc 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    imo you can't even really cheese the fight with drain/repel phys. First issue, he doesn't always attack into the resistance. But the real problem with that strategy is that you still have to meet the dps checks constantly or you get gaea raged. and you arent going to meet the dps checks if youre just swapping in random drain phys demons. Say you are on decent tempo to kill a demon before gaea rage, then you swap in a drain phys user. Sometimes, demi fiend will ignore them, use chaotic will, and you are suddenly in a situation where you might have to scramble to avoid a gaea rage. And also, if you get stuck with 4 phys immunities on the field that demifiend knows about, he and his demons will spam almighty attacks. So while it helps a LOT to have 15+ drain/repel phys users, it really doesnt break the fight or anything, it just gives you a bunch of insane potential tempo swings that you have in your back pocket. He doesn't always attack into the resistance. You have to have the ability to keep up offensive pressure constantly, even through chaotic will, so you can't afford to be swapping in mediocre demons even if they drain phys, unless you have demons with their stats in the 150+ stat range so you can afford to have a dud demon out cause the rest of your party does so much damage. Imo it's actually more crucial to have strong demons that RESIST instead of null phys that can stick on the field and be useful like shiva. Spamming drain phys only works if you have a core with boosted stats from consumables, or if you literally have a full squad of powerful demons, with multiple attackers that can nuke down each of his demons. multiple strong dedicated fire, force, elec, and force attackers. you can't just roll up with a squad of 24 mediocre demons with drain phys and expect to win unless your nahobino has eaten like 100 balms

    Just beat Demi-fiend, no cheese, on Casual, first paythrough! So excited. Thanks for the help. For Casual Mode that felt more like IMPOSSIBLE.
    My setup:
    1. Shiva(Tadava + Piercing Magatsuhi for Figment Slash to Crit Demi-fiend, SOMA + TADAVA SPAM WHEN DEMI-FIEND IN RED)
    2. Idun(Gold Apple(obviously) / Mediarahn(To prevent demi-fiend's debilitate/candy spam when party already buffed) / Killer Wind(Piercing Wind to help Figment Slashers)
    3. Yoshitsune(Figment Slash build)
    4. MC(Figment Slash build)
    When shit hits the fan:
    1. Artemis(Figment Slash Build but mainly to use her for extra magatsuhi that fully heals everyone and revives stock)
    2. Cleopatra(She wasn't apart of the plan, didn't have any physical resistance but Frolic debuffs and Random charms saved the day towards the end.)
    3. Mandrake(jk)
    It came down to the most epic moment I've ever had in a videogame. Demi-Fiend was Full Buffed and Idun/Shiva just died after using one last heal buff and pierce magatsuhi
    Had to win, last turn or Demi-Fiend used Ghea Rage instakill
    I used Pass with Artemis, Frolic with with Cleo(but demifiend still had Full Accuracry/Evade)
    Said a fucking prayer and attacked with no buff, accuracy DeBuff, got lucky with a +/- 3500 and finally beat him after literally trying for what seams like 3/4 days.
    What an absolute freaking blast of a game. Never has a gave game me so many epic moments, on the Casual difficulty lol.
    Should be labled Very Hard, Extremely Hard, and So You Like it In the Ass Rough mode.)
    I'm still high from beating him finally. What blast! Wish I video'd it but I'm not good at recording on the switch.

    This is amazing, you are so good at this game man! Question, i have a super buffed Tao with lots of stat boosters and that, and IMO her personal skill is better than Idun's (Same as Idun but she adds a Dekunda effect, meaning when she uses it the party would always go +1 or +2 if already buffed) I was wondering if she can do the same role as your Idun. The main differences would be that she has +9 on Light skills and not on Wind. Im not sure if it is better to have good affinities on other elemental skills. I can do a good Idun like yours no problem, but sometimes in the fight i did wonder if Tao's unique would be better, specially when you are debuffed.

    • @EnelXC
      @EnelXC  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes it would work, the problem with Tao is that you can't give her fusion stat bonuses and she also resets each cycle so you lose all your investment. But if you have a servicable tao for the fight it can work, just not sure light hits any weaknesses in this fight which could be big.

    Did I miss something? Is there any endgame in smt5? There is shiva as the one and only basegame "super" boss and demi behind dlc paywall. But what do you do with your powered up demons after beating the game? What is the point of collecting and fusing if there is no use for them? I guess there will be a royal/definitive/super ultra arcade edition coming, since they did cut some content. DLC was also in game and they did cut/locked it behind season pass. I guess we will get the one demon joining and leaving, permanently and propably in an playable second form, as well as the monk guy. All of this for full price, again.

    How would you set up a magic nahobino to do this? Murakumo just seems so OP, that you can't really do much else

    • @EnelXC
      @EnelXC  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gonna be honest I have no idea since I went phys route, magic naho I'd imagine would focus more on the adds and you can use something like fionn or odin to carry damage against the fiend but it may be slower.

    • @Justicetom21
      @Justicetom21 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As somebody currently trying to deal with demi-fiend as a magic user: It is noticeably more difficult. Murakumo is fucking incredible because it's consistent good damage on demi-fiend and every single demon in this team does something the Nahobino can't replicate. I'm doing a similar strat to this but much less good where I replicate the Murakumo with a Freikugel Asura and use Nahobino as a general support in place of Idun - rework him to be as close to Idun as you can (luster candy + mediarama/mediarahan, switch out the null elec for either just by having better affinities) and I think you'll have the most success.
      Unfortunately trying to just do Murakumo build but with Megidolaon is the literal worst because you get less damage and less press turns for like 3x the MP cost, so replacing somebody else is your best bet.

    • @Justicetom21
      @Justicetom21 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Addendum to this:
      Enel's first attack with Murakumo did 2800
      My first attack with Freikugel did 3000..... WHILE CHARGED. similar boosts - tandava from shiva, a golden apple, oma critical, but i used a critical gem before i attacked. While there is a noticeable difference in the strength stat (for obvious reasons), Freikugel also just doesn't get Murakumo's special lil buff.
      Yeah, phys build is the way to go.

    Finally got around to beating SMTIII HD, made me want to try SMTV Demi-Fiend on Normal and after 20 tries and almost giving up I finally barely beat him lol.
    Such a hard but fun fight.
    This time I actually made him do his Lux/Deb/Almighty Spam because I was tired of dealing with his pain in the ass Ailments.
    Was able to down him with my same Figment Slash + Shiva Dub Piece Magatsuhi Strat, only this time I made a Siegfried Figment slash build.
    Siegfried is so cool/badass. Straight up absorbs Physical and you only really need Resist Force & Dark.
    Never thought I’d beat Demi-Fiend on Normal. Tried him on Hard before switching to Normal and got annihilated. Definitely not ready.
    Will take at least 1, if not 3+ more playthroughs of boosting stats to beat him for me on Hard.
    Almost didn’t beat him on Normal, hit me with the Friekugal Crit, luckily my MC had 999 health to tank it.
