OP Masakado - Full Fusion Guide | Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

[@Edward-hq8ct]

“In order to get masakado, you must play CoC” Me who just got through the tutorial of a ng+ reborn Canon of Vengeance hoping I could get him that way

[@bloomingdaemon]

Oof ^^;

[@Floridamangaming729]

man his boss fight is hella hard. probably because im on godborn lol. guess i gotta grind and max out all my stats.

[@RozalinGaming]

Yeah on Godborn the stat scaling is really whack for the superbosses. I was doing a lot of testing for Godborn and I'm pretty sure you need to buy incenses and balms or use 1-turn strategize strats.

[@ultmewtwo]

​@RozalinGaming do you have to beat the true fight to fuse him

[@RozalinGaming]

@@ultmewtwo nah, regular version is fine.

[@mugs-]

so underrated bro love the vids!

[@Crossnaces]

I’ve been kinda looking around on KZbin and the web for a build for nahobeeho. love this little guy!! Any ideas??

[@RozalinGaming]

I built him as a pure ice user, keeping his unique skill and supplementing it with Ice Dracostrike; the Dracostrike was for when there are multiple enemies and one or more null ice, or for if you really need to burst down one specific enemy since Jack Tempest is random targets.

[@bloomingdaemon]

Mine is --Jack Tempest --Impaler's Animus (for mfs who null ice) --Repel Force --Abyssal Mask --Enduring Soul --Critical Zealot --Ice Pleroma --High Ice Pleroma Edit: Trading Abyssal Mask for Murderous Glee is also a good idea. But keep Magic low so he isn't super expensive for no reason

[@bewater7465]

Him beign exclusive to canon of creation is frustrating, dont want to do the adventure all over again

[@OmegAura3582]

U can get him if u register him to the compendium

[@gabrielwarren6054]

Assuming you'll be doing more content for Vengeance, i would absolutely love to see a video on how to optimize all of your fusions with the prayers and warriors conception miracles, as i think there's a lot with those mechanics that are buried underneath the surface that would really help newcomers Love your content :)

[@davidenren6496]

Great video Leader 🫡

[@CrowsSerenade]

I love these guides because it saves just so much time rather than using what resources i can find and or starting from the bottom up myself. Is there a particular Nahobino you would use this with? Paraselene over the Murakomo or magic build for example? I want to get started on my godborn/Hard run but have to reload a save back a while because even after samael, mastema wouldn't give me the quest to unlock it. I have Cleo/Sakuya/Artemis chillin for a normal mode setup but I'm using your str/agi murakomo build. (did have a little bit of trouble vs final bosses somehow but had backup demons ready.) Did cheese demi fiend and have the option for essence and partner available + Dagda but if I'm doing it 'legit' (at least until i fail too much and get fed up) what would your opinions be there.

[@RozalinGaming]

MC build really depends on what you are doing, but Masakado can fit in pretty much any team. For Godborn though, the dodge build -- particularly Luminescent Mirage and Intercalation -- are extremely useful.

[@kazutogamer1870]

Nice build, Its really weirdly rare to see demon fusion videos in youtube as most do tips, but your’s is always informative. Note: Great video man and do you have recommendations on a great endgame fire demon?

[@rudysmith1552]

Can you update your guide for the Demi fiend for vengeance?

[@RozalinGaming]

I haven't made a guide for the Demi-fiend fight.

[@ajajaj75]

look at a bunch of demifiend runs, alot of it is dodge tanks, impaler glory + omagatoki charge with mc and removing party members for a setup for one turn kill or demon with figment slash build where you start off with omagatoki strategise where arahabaki impaler, then keep swapping in tzitmitl,azazel and belial to get debuffs on everyone, and then get amanozako for buff switch, then get your figment demon in and out till demi dies

[@auramoonlight6978]

Well at least now we know about this one which is good to know but the last one that I'm having a hard time trying to get is Michael the archangel I've already got the other three but he's the last one is it because I have to do with the chaos ending or something? If so do I also need the cows I need to get the demon that goes with Alice's ultimate attack called Belial?

[@RozalinGaming]

Michael is from the the quest "The Seraph's Return" on Law route and Belial is from "The Red Dragon's Invitation" on Chaos route.

[@Oscar-yp5jr]

What did you do to get that much mp?? My masakado barely has 556 with great mana pool... It was by incenses??

[@lightningace2557]

Is it ok for me to put Great Mana Spring as an alternative to MP maintenance for my Masakado? (Btw, the abilities I have for my Masakado are Freikugel, Recalcitrant Execution, Almighty Pleroma, High Almighty Pleroma, Critical Zealot, Murderous Glee, and Enduring Soul)

[@MuntoRickDiaz]

what demon can I use instead of Masakado if I am on canon of vengeance? I doubt I will play canon of creation just to unlock a few demons.

[@RozalinGaming]

Arioch can be a good substitute if built as a physical demon; just make sure you fully utilize his innate skill.

[@coenzard7305]

Agrat, look up there’s s build with a red thumbnail with “nah ide win” in the background. Sorry for not giving you the build I don’t remember of the top of my head.

[@NotADoctor]

im so damn confused, I beat him already and somehow not able to fuse him.

[@RozalinGaming]

You need to ask him to join you after beating him before you can then fuse him.

[@coenzard7305]

Yea this is a good build although it did start lacking a bit when I started playing Godborn. Do you think you could make a fusion guid like this for Satan or lucifer? I’ve been using Satan and I have high almighty pleroma and all that with Megido ark and megidoloan as my main attacking moves but he’s not really pulling his weight and I’m not good at building good demons. Sorry for the late comment and keep up the good work!

[@excell_1786]

Does it matter if I fight true Masakado, or can i fight regular masakado?

[@RozalinGaming]

True Masakado is just for the challenge.

[@foxduncam7671]

Guys i just beat him but cant fuse him can someone help theres no good walkthroughs out 😭

[@foxduncam7671]

Nvm he joins you my party was full 👍

[@stevenkennedy6870]

Anyone know how to get this demon asking because i’m on COC third ng plus play through trying to 100% the compendium

[@Oblivion-sj6hk]

How would you build Naamah?

[@ajajaj75]

capitulate to pleasure slumber vortex (sleep useful for demifiend) repel/drain phys abyssal mask (optional) great curse siphon (optional since ailment mp costs are already low) 3 free skill slots you can add: luster candy/debilitate, + boon boost (EX if you have) maybe keep mudobarion, drain/repel light great mana/life spring enduring soul definitely put lot of luck into her if you have the incenses so she can land ailments

[@RozalinGaming]

I built her as a pure dark user and kept Capitulate for it's Dekaja effect.

[@ajajaj75]

@@RozalinGaming i used her as a dark user/ailment on normal playthrough but rebuilt her completely for demifiend for ailments since she has great affinities

[@Oblivion-sj6hk]

​@@ajajaj75right have you built the saints aswell or no?

[@ajajaj75]

@Oblivion-sj6hk tao I don't use coz of konohana sakuya, but you can use like all the same skills on konohana for tao basically for yoko I went with: primordial chaos energy drain phys block null light Boon Boost EX High almighty pleroma (above and this you can get from shiva essence) Enduring Soul Almighty pleroma I used her as a debuffer/damage dealer for satan boss fight, along with masakado, paraselene dodge tank mc, and konohana sakuya

[@kagexice7679]

how do you farm items like cgarge gems or soma in this game? im struggling out here without a consistent way to get them

[@swiney2279]

I got a lot of them from the demon haunt.

[@jonathanlj16]

can u pleas shiw us how to beat him because he is op?

[@Findyification]

i beat him in 1st cycle with stupid strat shield of god + chomp lol its lenghty but doable

[@barryjamesmusicPH]

sadly Zeus has more damage potential when also maxed out. the severe+pierce kinda overtakes freikugel's damage and crit potential. i plan to use masakado against lucifer but Zeus did it more for me damage wise.

[@RozalinGaming]

Zeus definitely doesn't out damage Masakado. The base damage of Keraunos is higher by 70 power, but the extra crit damage scaling pushes Masakado ahead.

[@barryjamesmusicPH]

@@RozalinGaming oh ok. i tried to use masakado against lucifer level 999 normal. the crit rate is low. with murderous glee on. w/o crit in my runs keraunos is better. this is with both pleromas for both masakado and zeus. or is there a way to maximize crit rates? any tricks?

[@RozalinGaming]

@@barryjamesmusicPH crit rate is influenced by the demon's level vs. the target's level, luck, crit rate from passives, and crit rate built into skills. When looking specifically at Keraunos vs. Feikugel for Zeus and Masakado, Keraunos should do more damage when neither skill critically hit. When critically hitting though, Masakado's Freikugel will see a 60-90% increase in critical strike damage due to his passive, and assuming he is within 5 levels of his target, he will almost always be at the crit rate cap with it.

[@barryjamesmusicPH]

@@RozalinGaming oh that's why. thanks. 999 lucifer is so damn hard to crit. I beat him finally feels so good! I stuck with Zeus as main damager.
