OP Idun Healer Build - Full Fusion Guide | Shin Megami Tensei V

[@conorb.1901]

For people who want higher stats on Idunn, after getting the miracle that grants stat bonuses to newly fused demons you can fuse her with Aeros to get Parvati while still keeping most of the skills Idunn had. Then you can re-fuse Idunn once the stat bonuses are to your liking.

[@SantosOverlord]

in other words, at first just fuse her to help you and worry about making her strong later

[@conorb.1901]

@@SantosOverlord that's basically it. Honestly, it's pretty lucky that she can directly fuse into one of her own components.

[@GaBl2y]

And then i have to leveling up a bit Parvati to maximizing stats of the second Idun? I'm new to this game and i don't understand this part

[@GrandChaseHotStuven]

@@GaBl2y If you want optimal maxed stats (before applying incenses), you need your MC to be lv95~99, learn the fusion and prayer miracles, then level up each component demon 20 times from their base level before fusing to the final demon (Idun for example) If you already have an Idun from progressing the game, she can re-fuse herself for free EXP towards those 20 levels onto Pavarti and keep some of the skills. For 20 levels, each demon is getting +8 stats and most of that will transfer over to the final Idun, per demon used to fuse. If you transfer all 60 bonus-stat levels, Idun's total stat amount will be as high as end-game demons. This goes for every other demon in the game, basically, best done with those with good Unique skills like Yoshimitsu or Fionn

[@GaBl2y]

@@GrandChaseHotStuven thanks a lot now i understood! So i can imagine that after the 20 levels gained the stats increase no more. Thanks again!

Amazing vid! Are you gonna show off more build tutorials? These are incredibly useful. At the very least, a pdf with what you made and the steps wouls be incredible!

[@renhardhalim]

Later you can change boon boost with boon boost ex, change spirit drain with deblitiate/enduring soul, and for the free slot you can add abyssal mask/enduring soul. Also don't forget to increase the healing and support affinities

[@RozalinGaming]

Boon Boost to Boon Boost EX is good, I don't like dropping Spirit Drain. Spirit Drain is a core component of the build (I even tested with Energy Drain and it's less MP over time). The changes I made for Shiva and Demi-fiend were to drop Diamrita for Null Phys and add in Enduring Soul in the last slot.

[@Shiouro]

Thank you for this I'm just now playing and seeing her in story I got her essence super quick randomly saw the golden apples and knew it was op I have all the pieces built I just need more slots and she will be finished instantly I'm 43 so I'm gonna wait a bit

[@iloveemiliaandrem9443]

I got rid of Bowl of hygieia cause with both heal pleromas Golden apple heals like 90-97 percent of your health and I'm gonna be spamming it for demi fiend and shiva anyways so I don't have to waste a turn or a slot.

[@RozalinGaming]

The Heal Pleromas are actually borderline worthless because unlike damaging abilities, healing has a very easy to reach hard cap, that being the HP of those being healed. With decent stats, Golden Apple can fully heal without any Pleroma. Getting rid of Bowl for Shiva and Demi-fiend is a good option; I did the same for those fights, but in all other situations I would keep it as it allows you to temporarily increase your party's max HP by 30%. I would recommend literally any other ability over the healing Pleromas.

[@fefyfona4318]

I kept Idun from the moment she joined the party to the end. She was one of my best healers and buffer(?). She also has the best idle animation

just started playing shin megami tensei Veangeance and i am playing the original story saw this vid and i set up my parvati for Idun when im level 42...and oh boy parvati has been saving my booty so far

[@TitoMcFadden]

Smart. The only thing is that I worry about her ability to survive some of the harder bosses so I'd want to get those stats up before then but for the main story content, that's perfect all the way to the end.

[@RozalinGaming]

I used her for both the non-DLC super boss and DLC super boss without needing to refuse her. On the non -DLC super boss specifically, my entire party was 10 levels lower than the boss; Idun combined with the incredibly broken Kannabi Veil was more than enough to survive.

[@TitoMcFadden]

@@RozalinGaming Hey, thanks for the reply. If you say it's good enough for those super boss fights as well then I'll take your word for it. That's great news

[@ninemugetsu]

This build is godlike, beat Surt first try with it, thank you!

[@shadeknight6537]

I think I'm gonna do a slight modification to end game Idun build and it's replacing Great Mana Spring with Almighty Pleroma to power up Spirit/Energy Drain, similar to the Cleopatra build. At that stage of the game, I think Idun has enough natural MP that Great Mana Spring isn't necessary anymore, especially with Boon Boost EX giving her an extra turn to get MP back, and I'd rather that she be able to do some damage like Cleo. If that doesn't work, I can just use an Essence to teach her Spirit Drain again.

You can also pair it with High Restore which causes it to get you roughly 70 MP back on critical magatsuhi turns.

[@evilanimegenious]

Energy drain, boon boost ex and a phys blocking skill are the cherry on top to make her better

[@RozalinGaming]

Please pay attention to the video. Of course those abilities are upgrades, but the build isn't an end-game build.

[@chrono_s9699]

Please make a video on Nahobino build

[@unknownbyself]

I have a magic build on my Nahobino, I wanted to know if Kannabi Veil is still worth it?

[@RozalinGaming]

Yes. Kannabi Veil is extremely good. It's a ~30% damage reduction that can't be removed by enemies and stats with all other forms of damage reduction; it's also incredibly cheap!

[@RustTillDusk]

You could use spirit drain gems and replace the spirit drain spell with something else maybe with heal pleroma for increase healing magic.

[@RozalinGaming]

Heal Pleroma and High Heal Pleroma are worthless since stats out pace them due to their increases being 20% and 40% respectively; I chose to not use gems because I would rather not run into a situation in which I run out in a tough battle, especially since I run similar Spirit Drain/Energy Drain setups on multiple demons due to how insanely powerful it is. Avoiding relying on items also prevents possible back tracking if you run out, etc.

[@joeirl]

Rozalin can you explain why heal pleroma is useless? Currently on my first playthrough (hard) and I’m torn between replacing it with mana spring or keeping it. Currently have: Golden apple Mahabarion Diamrita Boon boost Resist elec Bowl Heal pleroma (I just got Demon proficiency III, so I’m limited to 7 slots) Any other tips for this first time build would be greatly appreciated.

[@RozalinGaming]

@@joeirl Heal Pleroma is useless because unlike with damage, healing has a very easy to reach hard cap; namely, the healed character's max HP. Even with the additional 30% overhealing that Bowl allows for, this is easily reached normally with stat improvements.

[@joeirl]

Rozalin that makes complete sense. I didn’t realize Bowl had a 30% overhealing cap, so I thought heal pleroma and Bowl would get me insane amounts of HP during boss fights. I’ll replace with mana spring, and hopefully I have a spirit drain essence I can throw on her to replace mahabarion. Thanks man!

[@Rajin90]

@@RozalinGaming Regarding the healing amount: Do healing spells scale with your magic stat (like damage spells)? Or something else?

[@mollerbt]

I'm just concerned about Idun's low vitality. It won't take much to kill her if against a strong enemy. :(

[@Fermin-hw5pd]

I basically gave her Bowl of Hygieia and Media, and did just fine, Golden Apple is really good, but it consumes half of her MP, it's useless on a mid game demon

[@RozalinGaming]

Golden Apple is far from useless mid-game and with this setup makes Media a completely wasted skill slot. I never once ran out of MP and only had to use items to restore her MP once, and that was during Shiva.

[@shinyanakagawa8241]

Is the bowl really needed tho? I have Idunn with 110 magic and she can heal more even without the bowl buff (save my MP costs and replaced it with Bufurion for a specific fight whenever she's not healing/buffing). I drop the bowl for null elec/fire, everything else is pretty much the same.

[@RozalinGaming]

Bowl is there not to make sure she can fully heal, but specifically to overheal and give you what amounts to a "shield", allowing you more time to cast other actions. In my case, restoring her SP. I tried her without Bowl and found that I vastly prefer having it over not having it in almost every situation.

[@shinyanakagawa8241]

@@RozalinGaming Yeah, you can still overheal without the bowl effect, just make sure you have grimoires to dump on her and have her magic to max stats (or above 100). What do you mean by "amounts to a shield"? I didn't quite understand. My intention is not to shit on your build, just curious about some of the new mechanics and skills.

[@RozalinGaming]

@@shinyanakagawa8241 Bowl lets you over heal by 30% of the character's max HP; basically it lets you temporarily increase the HP of those healed by 30%. It's that extra 30% HP, or shield-like effect, that makes Bowl so powerful. I removed Bowl for the Shiva fight specifically, but kept it for everything else including Demi-fiend.

[@shinyanakagawa8241]

@@RozalinGaming So what you mean by that is, the overheal property literally broke the max hp barrier of your party? If that's so, then that is OP as hell. Thanks for telling me that. I sometimes got confused by the info details, they can get so vague to me at times.

[@RozalinGaming]

@@shinyanakagawa8241 Yeah. Bowl has 2 effects, the first being increasing healing done by the next heal used (not very useful), and the second allowing it to heal above the healed character's max HP by up to 30% (very useful). Also, since Bowl functions similarly to things like Charge and Concentrate, you don't have to use it the turn before you heal. You can cast it, and then consume it 3 turns later if you want.

[@ZefoniusLinestraf]

You could update this one now that the we got a new powerful support in the dlc of vengence realy exited to build her

[@RozalinGaming]

Idun herself doesn't really change outside of it being a bit easier to make this build now. If you have the DLC though, Konohana Sakuya is just a strict upgrade to her and can be built the exact same way.

[@coolintheshade]

I would love to see other videos explaining how to master skill inheritance. I’m running into an issue where I fuse a new demon all the skills they inherit are just useless. Example: a healing/buff demon that inherits only physical and curse skills. Or something to that effect. This keeps me from fusing my demons because I feel like it’s a waste. I eventually run out of stock and am forced to fuse random demons that are useless and end up sitting in my stock and will never see battle or be used in anyway. Also - I never use essences, but I really really want to. I have some really good ones for physical nahobino build. Example: Surt. But I’m afraid of using these powerful essences or any essence for that matter, because once I use them I’ll never get them again, or have a very slim chance of getting them again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Btw I’m around lvl 60 and just entering into the final area (90%sure) Anyways, great video & Thanks in advance for any help.

[@RozalinGaming]

Uh, I guess I'm confused since in SMT V you choose what gets passed down so it's easy to weed out skills you don't want. As for getting essences, it's really easy. Every time a demon levels up they have a chance to give you their essence. Simply get a demon close to level, save your game, do a fight so they level up, and if they don't give you their essence, reset and try again.

[@gilded_lady]

Are you checking your demons before fusing? There's no reason to fuse if you realize all you see are phys skills but the demon has 13 strength or putting Mudoon on a demon that is -4 dark. Better to keep your demons for an extra level until something more fitting can be fused.

[@RozalinGaming]

@@gilded_lady Of course I check what my skills the demons I'm fusing have. Who wouldn't? Though more often than not, I know exactly what skills the demons I'm using in fusion have so I know what can be passed along. Again though, I honestly have no idea what your issue is. There is no skill inheritance in SMT V the same way it's been in previous entries; unless a skill is unique, any demon can learn any skill. As for there being no reason to fuse skills onto demons with low stats or low affinity, there can absolutely be a reason to do so. The primary reason being to pass skills on to further demons. Not every demon has to be useful for your party. It's perfectly acceptable, and very common, for many to just be skill bots for fusing. Fusing them away also doesn't matter since the compendium exists so you can always pull them out again later.

What do you mean super boss XD. That ain't gona fly with demi fiend hard.

I used this Idun to beat both Shiva and Demi-fiend on hard with the only addition being Enduring Soul. So yes, it actually will fly against Demi-fiend.
