SMT V ~ Vengeance - Naamah ~ No Damage (Low Level, Hard, Path of Vengeance)

"You won't last 10 seconds playing this game"
Rules:
1) Hard difficulty, New Game.
2) This run aims for FULL completion of Talismans and Abscesses and aims for the Law ending of Tao Isonokami, and if possible showcase Chaos route, as well as the most important part of my motivation for this run: Satan.
Since Talismans/Abscesses quests are very minor, they will be refrained from showing with some exceptions to showcase a few fights without taking their EXP.
3) Allowing Macca (and certain items that can be farmed via navigator, though this will be limited to a certain area until they're available) cheats to minimize grinding as much as possible as well as allowing Grimoires to be used, but banning the usage of EXP/Macca/Glory DLC, and Gospels. This will also ban the usage of the DLC items you received at the beginning of the game. Statues are naturally banned.
5) All essences are allowed on Nahobino. Incenses/balm or miracle that alters demons/Nahobino stats are not allowed. Also, no Sutra allowed.
6) Restricting the use of Accursed Poison in recorded runs. Omnipotent: Succession/Omagatoki: Strategize will be avoided when possible.
7) Banning the usage of Fiend demons and all DLC demons.
8) For the sake of "no bullshit", RNG-related Miracles such as Skill Manifestation is disallowed. This will also ban Fusion Accident demons.
At first, Naamah seems like a threatening boss with her Backshot™ skill, but because this is something that's relatively countered by Apsaras' essence. The rest of her kit is a joke: Tarunda only drags the fight out longer, she only has Mudo and Mamudo for her attacks, so spamming Dampeners (or having a team full of Dark resistance works) counters that directly. The WORST part is: She's weak to Physical. Normally one would consider this a bane to Magic build, but at this point there's a lots of demons that have good Physical skills to deal with her that Yoko is not needed for support and Nahobino acts as a pseudo support and dps mainly because Aramasa is really powerful by itself. I had misses here and there, but the final turn that she gathers Magatsuhi sealed her fate. If I didn't do the sidequests and fight her at level 12 it's just gonna drag out anyways, so I decided to fight her at 14 to access to Bicorn, which is ultimately not needed...

When they first revealed this skill I could immediately see the increase in pre orders lol.

Also Starlight: Uses Dark Dampener Namaah: Attacks the unit naturally immune to dark Peak AI moment

[@YurificationTrademark]

remember Uriel in IV? yeah it's that

[@YurificationTrademark]

Just discovered she also has Life Drain, which makes this even funnier she COULD'VE use that.

[@ToastieMcMuffin]

[@YurificationTrademark]

naamah ass

[@nathan7031]

Physical builds in the CoV are real funny because Atlus decided they were lagging behind so decided to give them access to the Heavy Pierce move an entire 20ish levels early because of Mara lmaoooooo

[@YurificationTrademark]

@@nathan7031 that's pretty fucking dumb, since it also has Murakumo already, which Heavenly Ikuyumi falls off compare to Murakumo because it requires full debuff to reach its potential.

[@crpalstuck2966]

Wait doesnt she have life drain? Why doesnt she use it, is it a matter of the ai always trying to go for larger damage numbers?
