Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance - True Masakado Hard (No DLC)

I lost my mind for an entire day doing a different strat before changing to this. GG tho.
This guy is a HP sponge who can heal upto multiple times in each turn. Wtf were you thinking Atlus? And the cherry on top is he has 7 press turns in his true fight. My Nahobino is above level 100 because I got the Moral Transcendence miracle from Satan in my last cycle (my previous video lol), I was bit iffy on it, but I didn't mind too much since this fight can be done on New Game Plus cycle anyway. I tried to not overlevel too much and just the mandatory exp you get from the main story in new cycle put me there to keep it challenging (and oh boy, it really was challenging). I kept my demons under level 99 (except Beelzebub since he leveled up a bit before and didn't wanna remake him, plus he was only used for debuffing anyway).
Anyway coming to the strat, his most dangerous move by far is Freikugel. If it crits even once then you are done. I used Samael as a dedicated taunter with all repels (drain force is just there because one of the ingredients had it so didn't wanna bother with repel force) and his job is to kill his press turns if he used any elemental dracostrikes. And he needs to guard EVERY turn to make sure he doesn't get crit cheesed from freikugels. I dumped all my vitality and health incenses on him just for this. Having a taunter isn't guaranteed way to redirect the opponent as they can still attack you, because of this you need to be fully buffed always. I was using Murakumo build before this but that is definitely not the play here as you don't get any extra press turns for hitting Masakado but literally everything else will do so because he is weak to everything which is why move of choice this time is Figment Slash (an absurdly broken move which somehow didn't get nerfed in Vengeance). With -2 debuffs, +2 buffs, Beast Eye and Dragon Eye, you can reach 99% accuracy. Nahobino has demi-fiend essence to prep for godborn which is actually an hinderance in this fight, best would be to get beelzebub's/shiva's affinities with appropriate repels or drains. And you need a lot of luck to not miss unluckily or he snipes someone else from a crit Freikugel.

Great vid can't wait to see who's next

Since the game has been out for a while now, people have already discovered cheese strategies like one turn kills with Omagatoki Strategize. So there's that. I was proud of my runs because I didn't use any such cheese strats haha. Regardless I'm not sure what to make next, since I was just doing solo persona challenges before my Satan video which unexpectedly blew up.

@@DebeshMishra03 Maybe demi-fiend or boss rush mode???

[@DebeshMishra03]

@@HeroesNoMore. I have finished boss rushes in godborn hard. They were nothing special. Challenge modes however require capped stats and require a lot of grinding. And at that point, fight just becomes a regular fight. So not sure if that'll be something people would watch haha.
