YOUNG MAN'S SECRET TO GET STACKED FAST (Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Guide To Maximize Stats)

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

A fellow player suggested a setup for Mitama-hunting on Hard, making the need of Safety difficulty gone. I tested it and it works like a charm. What you need to do: - get Abaddon, Matador or both (their innate skill, Crippling Blow, is the crux of the build: it can instakill every enemy who gets crit'd, except bosses of course, but it includes Mitama.) - give them Yabusame Shot (Weak power but high chance to crit + Pierce.) Also very useful for clearing other enemies. - give them Safeguard too, because Mitama have high Agility too and can evade attacks easily. - up their Physical potential and Luck as much as you can for more critical chance. - using both, you get 4 shots per turn, which is more than enough if you have 600+ Luck on both, unless you're really unlucky. The rest is the same: use "Omagatoki: Luck" when needed, then pray for consecutive encounters while not losing the effect to an enemy turn. With this method, I got 30 million macca in 10 minutes by going to Asakusa in Da'at: Taito.

[@renhardhalim]

Correct me if i'am wrong but, I think for luck you got it wrong because from what i tested, luck only affects ailments chance and recovery meanwhile to increase critical chance you will need agility.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

@@renhardhalim Agility only affects evasion, as far as I'm aware of. Plus, you still need Luck in this case to trigger the instakill. > megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_Stats#Shin_Megami_Tensei_V (add the http, I can't send links or the comment will get lost in the Shadow Realm)

[@renhardhalim]

@@kaiserkreuz2110 i know it does in base SMTV, but i think they kinda change the formula. I remember i tested about 300 luck on odin and weirdly my gungnir only goes for crit around 2 times from 10 attacks, but once i bump agility it literally went up from 2 to 7. I think Luck will also need high agility to consistly crit but, maybe i'am wrong. I'am gonna test it tomorrow tho for my godborn playthrough

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

@@renhardhalim Please do, i'm actually curious. I have no idea how formulae work since there seems to be no reliable source for numbered damage.

[@Syluxproductions]

You can also use Loa in the party alongside Matador and/or Abaddon for double instakill chances from his Taboo innate skill. Oddly enough, the innate skill Trickery doesn’t affect the instakill chance from Crippling Blow.

@@dcWoo You need to beat the Canon of Vengeance to unlock Godborn anyway, so their concern is justified.

[@nipi912]

Behind Zeus' boss fight place in Taito, you can find a Magatsu Rail that sends you to a place with a lot of Fenrirs (9 or so I believe) in a quite small space. Now, if you use the Mitama DLC, most of these Fenrirs would most likely be replaced with Mitama of your choosing (at least two of them should be a Mitama). After you finished with all the demons, just save and load again to respawn all the demons. Rinse and repeat. I haven't tried them with Godborn mode, so I have no idea what's the payout on that one.

[@DMSwordsmaster]

Considering in the first area a chain of two groups of four Mitama when combined with the Luck Magatsuhi skill gets you 4 million macca, the answer is "a lot". In the first area. On Godborn, mind.

[@randiannahdi]

Yeah it's a nice spot too, and you can just go back and forth to reset the spots to get more Mitama groups. I just chose that other zone because I got more consistent encounters, although I didn't really play around with Taito as a whole.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

Yeah but if you play on Safety, you don't even need that much. I think with regular Godborn stats (and STR/MAG spec) you can kill them normally, then you get all maxed out and it becomes a non-issue overall. Regardless, I'd still prioritize killing Mitamas, which is doable without DLC but can take longer as the Saki Mitama spots have yet to be fully determined.

[@sephyrias883]

@@kaiserkreuz2110 I play on Hard though and as far as I know you can't increase the difficulty back to Hard once down, for the rest of the playthrough. Mitama farming is what I did so far, but it is very time inefficient early on (without the DLC), since godborn Mitama have 318+ agility and will often get the first turn.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

@@sephyrias883 Yeah, sadly the methods I have aren't beginner friendly, or you need Safety on. I bought the Deluxe edition, so I had all DLCs available from the start (but rarely used them because the game gives you pretty much what you need regardless.) I don't know what else to suggest aside from starting with the Army of Chaos on Safety, then do another playthrough. I know it's not the best feeling in the world (I've done about 20 of them by now and I really dislike the parts where you have to be stopped every few meters, Shinagawa mainly...) but I don't see anything else for newcomers without the DLCs. If anything, try to max out Abaddon/Matador's luck first and give it Yabusame Shot, so you have a high rate of killing Mitama afterwards. Then take a demon navigator with high odds of battles (like Ippon-Datara) and when you find a spot with Saki Mitama, make sure to save i front of it, crack an Attract Pipe and hope for consecutive encounters. It's gonna be time consuming, but you can do this on Hard, at least.

[@davidenren6496]

You the GOAT for this

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

Thank you!

[@DMSwordsmaster]

I also use the Luck Magatsuhi skill myself. In the first area alone, something as simple as a chain of two sets of four Mitama net you 4 million macca. I personally have a Cu Chulainn who pops Luck and then debilitates to lower the Mitamas' stats before using stuff like Megido Flame and Heliopolis Dawn to do massive amounts of damage to the Mitama to kill them.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

The first area works too, but the drops are less significant. They're also part of the plan to help you get money faster. Any strat to one-turn them is viable, I'm just using the easy way out, since the game gives you these tools anyway.

[@DMSwordsmaster]

​@@kaiserkreuz2110 I'm aware, I'm just pointing out how effective it is to chain Mitama together. For Taito I'd personally grind in Asakusa. Big wide open area with a lot of groups. I'd try to find groups of two/three Mitama before diving into the frey with an attract pipe and perhaps striking the one non-mitama present (in order to see if a chain with a group of them even happens before popping luck on the Mitama itself). Once the spawns all get cleared out I'd warp somewhere else to make them respawn and repeat the process.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

​@@DMSwordsmaster Yeah of course, that's the point of the trick. I tried Asakusa, but I never got any luck with the consecutive encounters, even with 5 mobs clumped together. Starting with non-Mitama enemies is the best strat, should there be some, just to build the Magatsuhi gauge if you need it. For respawn, you have two options: either wait for a new moon, or save and reload.

[@antonioallen9504]

I like to use matador and Abaddon crippling blow innate skill with yabusame shot. 40% chance to instant kill if you strike weakness or crit. Mitamas don’t stand a chance lol

Am just using comfortable 999 str Fionn with the Luck Omagatoki and then Gogmagog with 999 str too: the Gogmagog profiting from a simple slime being in a team and its yabusame shot easily doing 1600-2000 damage per foe.

Whilst not as good it can be done on normal difficulty runs of the VR fight itself. The fight is the Empyrean gauntlet leading up to Alilat if you consistently kill ONLY the Flauros and Ose Alilat will spawn she will be put into a loop of summoning them and the enemy phase ending enabling a psuedo infinite farm of experience and macca now it's not going to yield as much unless you're doing 999 challenge Empyrean but Alilat has 2 icons and will set up a concentrate into Megidoloan combo so that one can only be done after you hardcore bulk up. Of course you end the turn you want to stop farming the infinite spawns with an Omagatoki: Luck and rake in the experience more than the macca cause it's a normal non-challenge mode farm but the challenge mode farm should be good for big bursts of profit rather than the Mitama's which are infinitely faster once you get to Ueno but that's A. Not saying much since you'd have to be in Godborn and B. To be expected since that's the last area Mitamas spawn since they don't show up in the Pillars Of Eternity floors sadly.

Hey there, Quick question, I'm sorry, it's not related to the video. I want to start a NG+ on Godborn, and I wanted to know, as Demi-Fiend is a Guest character, if I start a NG+, would he still be in my party at the start of the NG+, or would I have to redo the menora quests to unlock him once again ?

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

All good. However, you need to redo the Menorah questline to get the Demi-Fiend again. Also, your other guest characters will have their levels reset (but you can up Demi-Fiend to 150 alright, and he'll keep the levels up.)

honestly, Satan on Hard mode is rightfully hard. If you have Demi-fiend, he can be a good extra damager. The strat for Satan is that you need to turn the other demons really weak (like less than 1000 HP left) and make sure he never eats Hariti and Lakshmi. Then work with his weaknesses. Use gems and shards if you need to. If there's a fight where you can use all your items, it's this one.

Not related to godborn or your specific builds. On hard at level 74, I'm at the temple of eternity and have noticed some of my demons are hitting skills like hell thrust and brave blade for 200 something damage or less. Is this because they only have 60-70 strength? Like at the point I'm at in the game are stats mattering more for damage? Probably but I've been gathering more information from outside sources and just wanna make sure there aren't any things I'm missing. One of those demons even has phys pleroma and 65 strength but brave blade still feels meh (melchizedek), I do have demons with up to 80 strength and beyond but wish to be able to use these other demons for direct damage on top of the buffs and debuffs.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

Yeah, unlike SMT3 where Defense was fixed for every demon (and not affected by level and Vitality), if an attack did 10 base damage timed by the level, it would always do around 10 * level, and not get dampened by enemy Vitality, here in Vengeance, you need to have more Strength for more damage. 200 damage seems reasonable for 60 Strength though. If you wanna maximize damage, have both Phys Plemora and High Phys Plemora. Hope I answered your question.

You're welcome! I went for Strength at first (Murakumo, Lunar Hurricane, Paraselene Blur and Aramasa are all Strength-based skills) but you can go for Magic if you use elemental skills. Second is depending on your main damaging move: if you use LH or PB, it's Agility that you want up. If not, go for Vitality. Third is the other of the two. Fourth is Luck (unless you're grinding every stat at once, then go for it second for more Mitama drops.) Last is the other offense stat, since you won't be using it. Alternatively, you can also go in increments in 4: 2 for offense stat, 1 for Vitality, 1 for Agility

[@GoProGamer447]

I have noticed something about the luck stat when I had used a tablet to reset my Nahobino stats and put alot into luck I noticed that I started getting critical hits way more constantly, than before. There was a time when I was testing on some enemies I constantly crit them on a lot of multiple different battles and on different targets it crit every time out of all this battles. I am guessing luck gets a further boost from skills like murderous glee and I think the enemy stats do come into play for example because the enemy I was testing on where the ones in Da’at Minato I am guessing if you have way more luck than them, you get more crits on them? I will test on high level mobs to see this.
