SMT IV: Apocalypse - Satan, Peace Route, The Hard Way (Low Level*, Apocalypse Difficulty)

Rules broken: None.
The Hard Way: No healing (except from partner), no Doping, no Smile Charge abuse, minimizing the amount of Cheer from Asahi as much as possible (which is made possible with no healing), no Imposing Stance.
Like I said; I will deliver, but this turns out to be a much more dumb problem than it should be.
This problem starts from Satan's ability from being able to use Dekaja/Dekunda with zero countermeasure in which is why you will never see me redoing the Vishnu-Flynn battle with this restriction ever (Antichthon, no Enduring Soul). Most of the time you will have to pray for Asahi's demon to not do something stupid, and then Satan not following up two attacks consecutively on a demon after Dekaja/Dekunda and pops its Enduring Soul. But, for what's worth; every boss has their own innate weakness. Satan has one, you just can't possibly see it clearly.
His weakness is that his own dialogues also interfere with his AI pattern and by dealing damage really fucking quickly, we can abuse this with Floral Gust+9 with High Force Pleroma to turn this battle from a stalling, time consuming, odd stacking fight into a relatively quick fight and still be enjoyable as hell with those restriction. This will override turns where he's supposed to use Dekaja/Dekunda, and instead just use Dekunda which is just good enough for us to survive. Reapplying buff/debuff is always a problem, so those Great Chakra saved early on is a good turn saver for this. Buff/debuff should be timed so that you are sure about dealing just enough damage for his dialogue to trigger so his attack pattern will be messed up and he won't use Dekaja afterwards. Ziodyne+9 with High Elec Pleroma turns out to be super unreliable, as its damage output just won't be enough and you're just going to be stucked with bullshit Dekaja/Dekunda every 3 turns as the fight goes on, even worse that Satan will frequently target Asahi, either killling her off or dealing just enough damage for her to waste two turns using Dia to heal herself. Even at +3/-3 Satan still dodges like no tomorrow, so overall this fight still requires lots of luck for your Floral Gust and Satan's targetting. At the end of this fight, he uses Concentrate, which I fear because last time it ended up on Luster Candy to Megiddo Ark on Nanashi. Lady Luck sides with me this time, and for the bonus he misses two attacks at once, allowing us to finish him right after.

Gotta love how even in the English version this part is still untranslated like Vishnu Flynn.
