hee ho

I still can't believe they buffed the malice demons

Demelove demelove!!!!
Remember to save your gems anons.
The next few events should be related to SMT4 and SMTV going by previous years
and those usually have free files, so its a good time to save.
Also remember to check this site for future banners.

Mermaid Love!

>>1847674 (OP)
Which Clear demons are worth fusing besides Clear Metatron?

>>1849184
It's usually very obvious so you dont have to worry BUT the Underside mode has sometimes restrictions that force you to use one Clear demon so if the colored skills are only good and not very good, going clear should be considered.
Ideally, you want at least one clear demon for each element.

>>1849184
Clear 3 stars and below are good for underside, but for 5 stars the good ones are really only Masakado and Lilith. Everything else isn't worth it or it's super situational.

>Reminders:
- Register for Battle Tower
- Clear the Kiwami getting swapped out
- Finish Hell Park and Underside
- Reach at least 20F on Tokyo Abyss
- Month change in <48h, don't retrieve weekly pass rewards (unless not 50 I guess)

>>1849184
Probably only Herokado for the extra +15 strength and the 3* underside demons that get personal skills. Metatron hasn't been worth fusing clear since his buff. I have an OG clear Metatron since year 1 with maxed Judgment and I hate that I can't arch-shift it to teal for the self-applying Repel Elec.

Mermaid Love!

>>1849983
Mermaid Love again!

>>1849184
I'm using Purple for Mermaid but most 3* and below can indeed be used as Clear for Underside purpose.

Fortuna is the next demon.
Details are not up yet.

Baihu get the next underside genome.
Clear or yellow are recommended.
Clear for future conditions fuckery, yellow if you dont have an Elec Slash or Rending Thunder genome and already have a clear elec demon.

>>1852042
Fortuna is SMT1 Hero but better while also countering Hakumen.
The powercreep is becoming insane AND faster.

>>1852071
Underside demons should always be clear, even if you already have a clear demon of the same element, because odds are you'll have a non-clear one that does much more damage, while the 3* will have very little difference between archetypes (with very few exceptions).

Activates the following Chain Effect if the attack is successful: Places all party members into a state of Luster Candy+ on them. (1 turn) Then, inflicts 5 counts of Decay on the enemy with the highest Current HP and the enemy with the lowest Current HP.

Kokoro will be the next villain I guess

Weird I don't remember ever having such a short event story before, not complaining it wasn't that bad
Guess Rinrin needed some happiness after getting traumatized in the end of the last one

>>1854478
Most people skip the story anyway, characters suck and nothing that happend in event matters outside the event

>>1854478
Rinrin using Baihu instead of a female demon was OOC.

FUCK THIS SHIT, FUCK BEING NICE!

Sublimation is busted btw

What are the best demons to clear Wrath? I can't even do 12 in a reasonable timeframe.

>>1859035
my team
haven't done 14 with the sublimated team yet but i used to do it in 4 minutes

>>1859106
I dont have Oumitsunu...

>>1859108
you either need oumi or saturn to go up against bos arioch
sorry

>new bait banner has a 10% chance for 5*
Tempting but still bait.

>>1859106
What's a good alternative to Fionn if I don't have him?

aura gate 0 coming around february~april
>no stamina system
>unlimited battles and maps but limited training

>free to play but with growth speed ups for whales
>enough content to have been its own separate game

do you have zeus?

>>1863022
It's nice to see that theres a separate tab for passive skills but are low grade demons still stuck with their shitty active skills?

>>1863631
all skills are swappable

>>1863636
Fuck... In other words, this mode is another playfield that will get powercreeped sooner or later.

ANOTHER ENSAI FESTIVAL (THIS MEANS SMT CROSSOVER)

>>1863709
But I dont have gems...

>>1863709
Place your bets ladies and gentlemen
>Transformed Chaos and Law heroes
>SMT 2 characters
>they skip 2 and go for something more popular like Nocturne, Strange Journey or Vengance
>another spin-off characters like Serph or Tamaki
>playable Liberators
>P1 or P2 characters

>>1863780
return of raidou

>>1863780
>>1863781
Won't be a spin-off like Raidou because Raidou wasn't a Ensai from what I remember

>>1863783
Yep, this is called the third Ensai festival in the description, meaning the first two were Hero/Heroine, and Law/Chaos Heroes.

>>1863780
Devil Summoner 1
>30th anniversary of the game this year
>they've already added a Kuzunoha as a promotion so broader Megaten is fine
>was technically an SMT game before Soul Hackers made it into a separate subseries

>>1863018
>unlimited maps
Dammit. I hate procedurally generated maps. AG2 was cool because the maps were clearly conscious designs and allowed for some actual dungeon crawling mechanics. AG2 is yet to be surpassed as the best content in this game.

Some of the news so far
>10 day advent for 100 ??? Race pannels
>The way to change/upgrade sublimation passives is going to be implemented
>new display of teamwide buffs
>new tips
>Queen Frost, Morrigan, Ouroboros and Yggdrasil beind added as rental demons for tournaments
>More AG2 stages with rewards like 7 star lost and divine brands
>Divine brands buffed to now only needing 2 to get the bonus
>Tzimitizi, Lucifugus, AltCu Chullain, Mahakala and Gremori buffs

It's flynn

>>1864295
Wat
Where's Aleph?
Does it mean that a 4 remake is coming?

>>1864300
I think it's because IV's anniversary is on the 30th

>>1864318
That is only on Europe, in Japan its May 23

Koga Saburo and Marici are Flynn's buddies.

News are out in english.
NGL, I'm tired of this constant powercreep.

Very important detail here

Flynn is busted. A team with him, Raidou, Hayataro, and Chefei will destroy anything that is slower, and 99% of anything that is faster except for a mirror match.

>wakes up
>sees flynn
>tries to wake up again
>can't wake up
what

You would think out of all protags they add Demi-Fiend first because he is actual demon and not just some dude with computer on his arm and he is most popular and well know smt protag that isn't from Persona

>>1864738
Well because Demi-Fiend is so popular you release him at a special time, like just before or after an anniversary

>>1864738
>because he is actual demon
inb4 this flynn is sesha

>>1865191
we're about to get another one

>manage to connect
>Suddenly kicked out
>Cant reconnect
Wat

22k gems and no flynn
finally a reason to uninstall

Huh they added new level to aura 2 that lets you skip whole thing?
Can't beat boss there i am too much of shitter, is that ad for aura 0?

>>1865282
>>1864290
>More AG2 stages with rewards like 7 star lost and divine brands
AG0 is a different mode where you basically start over.

>>1865311
Also the enemies in AG2EX1 are immune to ailments so you cant cheese random encounters with Ulice anymore.
They're only vulnerable to a specific element (Force from what I've seen but some battles could be different) and almighty.

>>1865316
After exploring some more, you need force and elec demons.
The random encounter are way overtuned, I had to flee against the valkyrie one because they reduce your mp to 0 and reduce your mp regen by 2.

I don't get this new party effects thing
Where can I see it?

>>1865370
Party effects are passive that stay even when the skill holder is ded.
There's not many of them, the only one I have is on Macha (+20% physical damage), can't tell you about the others.
The fact that they felt the need to add a specific menu just for that should give you a clue about you what's coming.

>>1865424
Inevitable really, way too many demons passives were tied to them being alive

>you can skip AG2
finally

What are you all using for the new AG2 level? It's kinda hard to auto.

>>1866604
I'm just fleeing from all battles and exploring as even the team I use for force and elec democ are not guaranteed to clear a random encounter in one turn.

>>1866604
masura, nuwa, vanitas, albion, inanna, ainz, Mmichael, M shiva, and Hariti are all good if not must haves for EX1F

>>1866604
Tora, Nuwa, Raidou and Chefei is what I used but I haven't explored much and I think it's probably best to replace Chefei with either an MP battery for the cancer Valkyries or some other Force/Elec damage dealer
Also the boss needs Allmighty damage, Skull Knight is probably going to be good specially for the whales that got him to P4

>go try to do Democ
>connection error when I am starting it
>it ate up one of my runs but no points or gems
As if spending everything I had without getting Flynn wasn't annoying enough now I can't even do Democ

Weird error

Flynn is so boring not even being broken powercreep can redeem him

>>1868606
>Flynn introduces parrying instead of Smirk
SOULLESS

>>1847674 (OP)
Yo lads, divegrass anon here, just a reminder that the 4cc autumn cup is starting for us this saturday, here is the schedule for the group stage >>1868405 and since the board is more satisfied with updating the roster every 6 months, Die for me and the Ball of Balance will still be on the roster this time around, thanks for the support.
>if you don't know what 4cc is
https://pastebin.com/nr9ujDMN

>>1869131
I'll be there on Saturday, thanks for the reminder.

>got some useless shitters instead of only viable pvp char again award
I almost forgot why i quit this paypig game all those years ago, thanks for reminder sega

oh neat, got flynn from my free summon files

>AG2R 51F boss
>Repel everything and has repel pierce and protection against resistance lowering
>Only ways to damage him are almighty and fractional
>Get charge and might twice a turn
>Only attack is 500 power
>Said attack will be only 250 power, but only if you have 100+ phys berserk level, the hardest berserk level to farm
>Disable your passive effects that are not party effects
>Has the same MP fuckery skill than the Valkyrie encounter on that floor
Yeah, fuck that shit...

>>1872784
erm......just have Malice Asura and other meta demons, bro

>quintuple mote
They are going all out with the bait

I really like Tzitzimitl buffs. I kinda want to use her alongside Flynn and Old One to be an asshole.

>>1873813
Personally I hate her buffs because they were better than the hallel buffs, I need to make a time machine to transfer all the goodness from her to them

>>1847674 (OP)
With a new faction event starting in a few hours, I'd like to remind anyone with one that we three (3) spots open at /smtg/, our resident faction. Just apply in-game, then reply to this post with e.g. your name's initial so we know it's someone from here.

This was for sure my stupidest clear of anything in this game, Chefei and SK were basically just there to look cool because I forgot the boss disabled "while this demon is alive" effects so in the end it was basically just V normal attacking and Nuwa healing everyone and every other turn I had to use a turn using a bead on V since he was the only one that couldn't tank enough to always recover more from Nuwa + Xana's passive 1000 damage every turn, I even don't have 100+ phys berserk so I am pretty sure if I had I wouldn't need to even use the beads
No Masura, no Ouroboros, no P4 Angry Mayo, no Anthrasax(don't even know if her counters work against the fat fuck) really made me desperate to find something that could work
Does Kali help speed things up by constantly draining the attacks? Also don't have him to test him

>>1874425
>draining

>>1874425
>>1874463
Meant to say Kalki, poojeet names are just way too similar I keep trading forgetting about who is who

>Tzi can kill Chefei with her new counter if she targets her
>This makes it so Chefei cannot revive herself.
Ayyy lmao. I officially love Tzi again.
She will be a mainstays on my team as long as Chefei keeps being used.

>>1874467
new spirit chains NEGATES passives
i tested it with my kalki
>>1874469
>>Tzi can kill Chefei with her new counter if she targets her
>>This makes it so Chefei cannot revive herself.
wait really? big if true
first indrajit countering the 10th angel, now this. lmao

>>1874425
I dont have V...

>>1874568
Seems a bit unreliable but it works.

>>1874658
>Flynn helps with the recovery
wait, that's neat
i don't have that elder thing

>>1874693
He isn't mandatory, because he is there to increase MP cost for everyone else and reduce it for the party. Pretty sure the same comp works with Hakumen.

>forgot to beat kiwami
>forgot to finish hell park and underside
>forgot to finish enough in abyss
God damn my procrastination

beel quests are bugged but the ag2 f20 boss counts if you're having trouble

>>1877784
Thanks, great advice.
