Shin Megami Tensei 5 - Shiva Boss Fight in 2 Turns w/ Magic Build Nahobino (Hard Mode) [真・女神転生V]

[@DragonKing830]

Repelled attacks that hit a demons weakness give you a turn? Absolutely nuts. This strat is wild as hell, well done.

[@RinaShinomiyaVal]

If you have Safeguard. If not RIP ally and those Press Turns

[@dirtkiller23]

+ free magatsuhi upon ally death/hitting a weakness

[@MrRipper557]

Yeah it recharges the mag gadget. You can pull something similar by just changing them all back to stock to give MC 4 turns, than do a mag charge with critical and use the extra crit damage skills... but this method allows for the extra damage boost with adversary since MC had 1 health (percentage based on full health) and critical

[@ennpii8147]

Unrelated but the Angel's low health animation unnerves me so much, specifically how its arm bends like it's broken or something.

[@soul-r6585]

Angel: "Let there be light!" Throws dark gem, gets reflected and hits his weakness.

[@Minarreal]

"Nothing personal!" *Dies*

[@Condor2481]

The Angel was talking about the light of his sacrifice

[@iantaakalla8180]

Angels are messengers after all and the message he was delivering was that the Nahobino was about to hit Shiva 4 times with extreme power.

[@brendanbeta487]

Did not know that reflecting and hitting your own weakness counts for press turns

[@omegaevolution]

ONLY if you have Safeguard on, otherwise you will lose all your press turns (thats why I highlighted it when I went through the builds at the end)

[@olehkhikhlya705]

If you only need turns, you can bench demons, he reflected to get 100% crit from deaths

[@doctorjames7273]

​@@omegaevolution question, do you have to fully max out nahobino magic stats? I think I can maybe reach 110 or 120.

[@ampkenryu7145]

Before, I used to view Safeguard as the "failsafe skill to waste a slot" passive, but then I see you do this shit lmao

[@OniMalco]

Someone in the back screams out "how the hell did you do that so quickly?!?!?!?!?!?". The retort of which "Skill. Lots and lots of skill"

[@tylerbarnick8750]

Shiva after the sacrifices: You foolish mortal, what are you going to do now? Shiva After the Critical Hits: I've made a huge mistake.

[@Rikuo86]

I haven't seen a high risk, high reward strategy this wild since the Dark Knight builds in Bravely Default. Well done!

[@yubarta1]

Shiva feels the shivers

[@likeicareusewe]

Damn, that was genius. Are you also gonna be the first on youtube to beat Demifiend with a magic build

[@omegaevolution]

Yup, look forward to it, already recorded it the same night I did this :p

[@RinaShinomiyaVal]

Yep. Adversity is defintely getting nerfed when they re-release this game. Bonkers Magatsuhi skill. Also cool to see Safeguard have another use other than one of the endgame bosses.

[@Despamifier]

I hate that I can see this coming.

[@just_buka]

so about that

[@eternalmemoire4137]

It's known that Shiva is the Destroyer. This time, he's the one who got destroyed. Lol

[@TheCoolerHKR]

Rip pixie She dies for giving more turns to blue Nahobino

[@stormsand9]

This is absolutely genius. How did you even think of this? amazing showcase omega!

[@omegaevolution]

Thanks! Its actually kinda funny cause it was a total accident, while I was doing my first playthrough I inputted the wrong move with Valkyrie and ended up reflecting back an attack she was weak to, but since she learned Safeguard I got a half press turn instead of losing all of them and then it occurred to me it could come in handy at one point... sure enough it did eventually lol (I also use Safeguard shenanigans on the Magic Build fight aganst Demi-Fiend)

[@justrandom3965]

It's things like these that remind me Omega is a mad genius

[@LeopardSamurai]

That was amazing! I've got to try that cheese strat with Shiva! Also, I really like the new intro screen.

[@ToadtheGreat1]

this is the most omegaevolution video i’ve ever seen

[@itsukaredsama320]

Pixie: it's killing time! It sure is

[@mastercnn1222]

You can have double magitsuhi activation?!

[@danielmayonaka8818]

Yep

[@chrisbarg4732]

This is dark and wild. Kamikaze style to gain extra turns. On my first run normal mode, it took me 10x tries to defeat Shiva. 🤣🤣

[@homerlol9058]

Wait... You can stack magatushi's skills!!??

[@omegaevolution]

yup, funny enough if I checked the status screen it doesn't show Adversity once I pop Critical, but you can tell by the huge spike in damage that its still active there lol

[@homerlol9058]

@@omegaevolution thats really cool Learned something new today

[@jamesmallard1480]

Fitting that you posted this on a snow day. Btw Omega, who's the top right character in your intro image?

[@ericsoler4676]

the magic of cheese, also that a TON of damage!!!

[@elias5304]

You're a absolute beast how did you even do that

[@pickthestickup]

I hope someday that there's an RPG where a boss character starts grinding and levelling up and comes at you with a solid strategy as if they were a player character.

[@Yammatti]

Wow Killing your own demons so you can get another magatsuhi

[@cetrinea]

I... honestly don't know what to say.

[@OneandIndependent5450]

Time for our super boss revenge!

[@vicente8107]

How did you use two Omagatoki in the same turn?

[@RinaShinomiyaVal]

Theres a Miracle that fills up the Magatsuhi gauge quite a lot when an ally dies. Im assuming after popping Adversity, the Dark Gems from the Safeguard reflect setup help with that

[@PhoenixMasta]

@@RinaShinomiyaVal I believe it's the Revenge miracle, quite good to make a comeback if a fight gets messy (flashback to my Arioch boss fight...)

[@mohammadzola567]

At 1:55 after using adversity he get a lil amount of magutsuhi, what miracle can do that?

[@yossirihandle]

I tried this trick to kill Shiva. But why once I use Dark Gem to kill my own demons for Magatsuhi (2:13 in the video), It recovered to about only 50% as shown in the below photo, not 100% for using double-magatsuhi skill as shown in the video. Why? The only different things was that I used three different demons. But they were weak to dark as well. I don't think that is the point.

[@omegaevolution]

This was done on the original version of SMT5 (see date), they nerfed the Magatsuhi you get back from the vengeance miracle in SMT5V (the version I assume you tried this on), so the double magatsuhi set up needs extra steps now to make up for the less magatsuhi you get back.

[@TsuNaru]

Magic Builds are the best.

[@matthewlee6261]

Damn I'm impressed.

[@bikethemike6710]

Took me 30 minutes to beat him last night man, feels good to see him beat like that

[@buf4549]

The 2000 IQ strat right here

[@3redstreeter256]

I didn’t know you could double up Magatsuhi skills like that, and I’m just learning it now too lol

[@Bluzlbee]

2:43 " IT'S KILLING TIME" ah, yes but no

[@fatgaydisabledleftist9902]

See my dumbass over here kept all of the unique Nahobino magic skills. 😩

[@tikkizay]

that was clean

[@AzureGhidorah]

Does getting a Magic stat that high require you to put literally every level up point into it? (and same for Strength for Phys builds ofc)

[@highwizard6764]

Pixie: "It's killing time" *gets killed anyway*

[@ravioli4601]

5 billion IQ strat

[@bryceevangelista721]

Shiva having nearly as much HP as Stephen scares me.

[@mohammadzola567]

Best guide for defeating shiva, but can anyone help me, how at 1:55 after you use adversity you automatically get a lil' amount of magatsuhi? Is there becaise some miracle? Or what?

[@alecneal602]

a miracle late in the game causes magatsuhi skills to no longer consume the entire bar.

[@EthVortexShield]

Ah, got to love Adversity.

[@Tekno560]

WHATTTTTT

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

Wait is that a bug where you get turns for reflecting that dark gem and hitting your own weakness? Or has it always worked that way?

[@jorgeelias385]

I have to believe it's safeguard to prevent the turn loss, and since it strikes a weakness, lo and behold a press turn

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

@@jorgeelias385 yeah got it. Saw omega explain it to someone else

[@EthVortexShield]

Its similar to how confused demons get press turns for critting themselves

[@OneBeastSOUL]

This is disgusting.

[@Absane8]

This strat seems great……. What if you miss?
