Impaler's Animus got nerfed!? | Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance 

I would love to see some more videos on shin megami tensei v vengeance. Maybe perhaps some build videos. I'm all for it, man. 👍

Not the biggest fan of SMT (because as a persona fan I can barely understand it), but you do you!

I think you’re gonna have a lot of fun with smt v builds, especially with the ones orientated around certain magatsuhis. My personal favorite is the multi hit red rider build which has terrorblade + rampage alongside an omagotaki dance/ expand:crit aura with a supporting demon like mermaid. That build deals a pretty nasty amount of damage and is fairly flexible (crit auras ignore evasion and terrorblade pierces)

It's still very useful anyway, it saves you some press turns

All bosses from the Virtual Challenge mode (story bosses are level 100 and they raise the level by 100 every time you win) Level 100 with improved stats and 3+ magatsuhi skills Plus every mission clear means they raise 100 levels and ALL bosses (since Hydra to the last one) can do the impaler skill

@@theshape3872 I'm talking about Tiamat, that thing spams it even on normal story mode and would otherwise just straight-up wipe 1 guy out every other turn.

@@mrex666productions7 Just use Kannabi veil with Nahobino. That reduces damage by 30% and if you have a tank that taunted well you can see where this is going.

Zeus?

@@mrex666productions7 All bosses on the supreme virtual Challenge are level 100 with 4 turns and impaler skill

yeah sorry i made this on a rush xD will do for future videos!

Omnipotent Succession and the Charge effects take up the same buff slot, so they'll just overwrite each other.

​@@Luzent exacly but you can stack it with omgatoki ctitical for murakumo series

a few things were nerfed/buffed

@@tuvieeclips that would be a Nice video *wink wink

Modder already buffed a lot of skills and he’s taking request to buff more.

God I hope so. I mean I’ll go through the game with the nerfed skills no problems, but successive playthroughs I definitely would want my fun stuff back.

​@@tenryuublackrose2176 Where did he post this mod?

@@slwi7589 on gamebannana, RU-vid sadly won’t allow me to link stuff, he also preset up the smtvv editor to allow us to make changes to skills ourself

ya charge will always be better for st based almighty

I wholesale disagree, the idea that nerfs shouldn't happen in single player stuff is just stupid. First of all, there's times when something that breaks the game is so easy to access that the majority of the audience runs into it and realizes it's the best strategy full stop, which limits player expression. Second, SMT is generally supposed to be the more difficult of Atlus's properties. There are plenty of JRPGs that do let you get blatantly overpowered and unstoppable, but making every game that is both boring and bad business, because there's an audience that wants a game that's a struggle or requires thought all the way through.

I mean I hate sakuya but I hate idun even more so W

@@NVFerost I am of the opinion all games should do what atlus does with its rereleases. It would be wonderful if strategy was more important in more games. People talk about strategy and stuff with rpg's all the time but then a majority can be broken with such ease that the strategy devolves into spamming oneshot kinda builds. I kinda wish persona was as hard as SMTV Vengeance route.

Idun is still usable even if Sakuya exists. Slightly quicker access to her with an easier boss to deal with, you just need to fuse her instead of getting her after the fight like Sakuya. I dont know how severe Godborn mode is but on Hard omniboost+heal is generally enough to push you through any upcoming miniboss/boss fights until you get Tao.

Idun is still usable because she's the prettiest demon in the game. There, a more practical argument

As far as I know, hassou tobi was not changed, but they did nerf a lot of moves

@@tuvieeclips oh yeah, what i mean is that i used tobi with his unique move and impalers animus to farm mitamas and in vengance i notice i wasnt killing them like i used to do in vanilla

@@itsukakasuga6732 ah, got mixed up xD but yeah big nerfs sadly

Yeah, but there are also moves that got buff like most breath and multi-hit signatures, hayatarou's carnage fang and mephisto's Walpurgisnacht

Impaler Hassou is nutty in vanilla, gonna miss it :(

Donum can be used on an ally, but charge is shit too since you could just attack twice

@@lorenzosp8566 Ah. Thanks mate

The Donum skills are especially good for characters who buff or heal, and don't really have good attack. They allow that demon to provide damage on turns when they otherwise would not do anything but pass.

Oh smt5 is definitely more phy dominated, you get almighty skills that scale with your phy stat and the strongest skill is figment slash(in the video) which is the best option to speedrun any boss

lv 99 in area 1 is crazy, save anywhere makes it even crazier

@@renlei7523 Got to spoiler part of vengeance and i still think magic is much better although having a blast with stacking omnipotent succession and critical now abusing wrath tempest and sakanagi like that. Magic already has a pierce blizzard attack available for me to use although extremely costly like 100 mp since i have not invested in the proficiency skill miracles yet, you get ruinous thunder in the second area and third gives you profaned land and like mentioned magic items stack with your magic stat which means you can target any weakness at any time so long as you keep your gem and shard supply up. Current team is Idunn for cheaper lustercandy aka golden apple and her healing has greatly fallen off even with healing pleroma, Physical nahobino with wrath tempest, kannabi veil, Sakanagi, Bloody glee, phys pleroma, spirit drain, Using kushinada for healing and the final slot is just for targeting specific weaknesses but ideally it would be chu cullain cause gae bolg kinda busted or dakini cause both buff nahobinos crit damage. You also forgot to mention figment slash is an endgame ability and has abysmal accuracy like myriad slashes. I am still unsure as to how to slot demons up properly yet but just slowly working my way up through the compendium when it feels like there is an upgrade also abilities like carpeting bolt are really underrated. The way damage can drastically increase based on how many hits in the turn is kinda wild and if you set up a crazy multihit team you could nuke bosses with that innate skill and targeting the boss with the element that's buffed by it. Maybe in vanilla 5 it was much more heavily dominated by physical but in vengeance at least it seems magic has a large edge for most of the game. I feel like i gotta be far at this point as i just beat abdiel and recruited artemis to my team finally. Also did some other quests but cannot beat others like pale rider, yamata no orochi, cleopatra and some others now available since the level requirement is too high and with some like pale and yamata they have a strong gimmick or tool that cooks my party too easily like pale will dekaja your buffs every turn and then you also fight two dominions as well as him and yamata no orochi gets like 8-16 turns of pressing auto attack and i have no way to nerf him hard enough to be able to keep up the buffs from idunn for four turns and keep everyone healthy so i can keep building omnipotent succession and omagatoki critical to nuke him down. Also my opinion on ailments has greatly improved now using some of the magatsuhi skills like accursed poison and omagatoki hit and i now realize you just have to build a team to use them well which is something i have not committed to.

ya crit aura is untouched, it was never good so i think it's reasonable

​@@tuvieeclipscrit aura is more broken than any charge skill tho

@@tuvieeclips crit aura is good in the early game where mag outshines str because you don’t have any of the broken abilities yet that makes str amazing

real

Why would you use Impaler Animus + Murakumo? You don't even need the pierce effect and you'll deal less damage (+ more mp) Anyways.... Omnipotent Succession + Murakumo Oh and I'm adding Omagatoki : Critical too on top of that

Yeah on hard you dealt way less damage compared to normal also, even if impaler getting nerfed but the fact that thus time your stats can goes over 200 easily means that at some point self buff will be not that relevant
