Tehom might be one of the tankiest regular bosses in SMT history that I know of that isn't a superboss. Seriously, even on normal playthroughs when you are a much higher level than her it still is a slog.

@@Magnet977 It's ridiculous, I think the only thing that would have more HP than her are the two Masakado's. And for the level 999 thing, forget it lol.

Yeah, Masakado is also up there. I think he has over 200k HP on Godborn (at least True masakado does.) Tehom has at the very least 300k at level 999 (but I think it's more towards 400-450k, maybe even 500k.)

@@kaiserkreuz2110 Unlike Tehom though, True Masakado (or even regular masakado) is more than just a sponge and can actually kill you super easily. Tehom, provided you know her gimmick, isn't as threatening. I think True Masakado has 200k hp on normal/hard difficulties and has more on godborn due to the level scaling of getting 50+ levels, but don't quote me.

@@Magnet977 Yeah no idea. I'd require some... datamining lol. Tehom isn't threatening at all, but yeah, she just sits there as a fucking sponge. I like the design, but looking at it for 20 min straight starts to get old fast. Plus Masakado's music > Tehom's.

Holy shit! Didn't notice that (was sweating too much from this war of attrition.)

Yeah tbh Nocturne's has nothing on him lol

I actually complained about Lucifer lol. No use beating up a dead horse at this point. I'm glad Tehom didn't take 20 min, and is over with for good.

@@vanille0378 Yeah, I was happy to be luckier than last time with dodges

Muu Shuwuu best DPS!

Thanks! Tonight should be it.

@@kaiserkreuz2110 so...1 ending (both canons) is one Battle Of _____ in the virtual trainer right? now I have 3, so I need to complete 3 more endings to unlock all 6?

@@barryjamesmusicPH You have one challenge per specific ending, then one with every route boss in one single boss rush, per canon.

@@kaiserkreuz2110 I have 3 challenge fights. so 3 more to unlock remaining 3 right? so i need to play 3 more times right?

@@barryjamesmusicPH To unlock Two Goddesses, you need to do CoV twice: one for each ending. To unlock Re-creation, you need to do the 4 endings: Law, Neutral, Chaos, True Neutral.

That's a solid setup. Honestly didn't consider much setups others than Crit and Omnipotent Succession lol

Yeah, there are a lot of intricate mechanics, and only so few useless moves. Impaler's Revenge grants the user Pierce if their attack gets Nulled/Repelled/Drained (I think it's 50% proc chance.)

@@kaiserkreuz2110 Its only 30% to proc for Impaler's Revenge, thank god. That extra 20% would have made your life MUCH, much worse with your luck with Lucifer lol. Source is that I checked the game's files via an editor and found out the exact percent.

@@Magnet977 nice! I'm open to knowing more with datamining, if ya want to share. The worst with IR, is that it can activate *during* the enemy turn (you block an attack and then he gets it, then attack again and do 500+ damage...)

​@@Magnet977 I'd also love to know more about enemy exclusive stuff. I've seen a few bits of info about it, stuff like Mastema's other signatures, Dreadful Gleam, and the boss version of Heliopolis Dawn, but it's irritatingly scarce to find info for others.

Alright, lets see...Regarding Mastema's other unique skills, here is what I have for Mastema's other unique abilities that only his boss form has: Seething Mansemat has a base power of 120 which is boosted to 180 when it crits (which is always, because its crit rate is set to 200, same as Deadly Fury). Basically, think of it like an all-attacking version of the deadly fury skill. Untainted Wind has a base power of 150, debuffs all stats by 2 stages for 3 rounds and has a 50% chance to inflict charm. Regarding Heliopolis Dawn I know that one off the top of my head: the boss version is unique in that it has a 1 turn charge up time and a base power of 1000 (IE its supposed to be fatal) However if a character is afflicted with the shroud status (a status ailment unique to that boss fight) when the attack hits, it reduces its damage by 90% and the shroud status is removed. The shroud status is inflicted if you use an attack on Khonsu Ra when he's in his counterstance (I think its called Mesektet's path). Shroud is basically like poison but it attacks MP instead of HP. Its a shame Demi-Fiend is a guest character because he has probably the most powerful base-power skill in his kit. Unlike Nahobino's Gaea Rage (which has a base power in the mid 200s iirc) the guest demi-fiend's Gaea Rage has a whopping 450 base power, which is about 200 base power higher and is the strongest all-attacking physical skill available to the player in the game to my knowledge. An interesting fact regarding the boss version of Satan: Megido Ark's power mostly comes from its unique trait in that it does more damage the more enemies there are. Its base power for the boss version is only 175 but seeing as how it usually smacks for over 1k damage its clear that its damage is coming from that modifier, though I don't know the exact numbers. Maybe the original intention for the satan fight was to enter the fight with less active members so that Megido Ark doesn't one shot? difficult for me to say. Another interesting fact is that it has the pierce effect toggled on by default, which seems kind of pointless for an almighty skill as in Vengeance there is no way to get almighty resistance on party members without modifying their resistances in an editor. It also appears that the game has different levels of resistances for ailments: rather than having 1 type of resist level, it has four: resist, medium resist, heavy resist and severe resist. I don't know the exact values for them though, just that they exist. Lemme know if there are other skills whose numbers you want me to look up and I'll see what I can do.

@@barryjamesmusicPH my guess is at least 300k, probably closer to 400k, which is more than Lucifer by a fair margin, and at least twice as much as Satan on Godborn. Mastema is also very beefy.

@@kaiserkreuz2110 what about Tiamat? who do you consider most difficult to beat?

@@barryjamesmusicPH Tiamat was different to adjust to but not difficult at all. You can see how I defeat her in less than 5 min everytime lol. True Lucifer hands down is the modt difficult boss.

@@kaiserkreuz2110 i discovered the best damage dealer is yoshitsune haha. just not on enemies with resistance to phys. my kills on nuwa and tsukoyomi is now way faster coz of it. lol

@@barryjamesmusicPH Oh yeah, he's goated if you don't have Masakado, but sadly the bosses I had most trouble with are resistant to physical lol

I only use Naamah and it's because she's immune to Panic and Charm, which Lucifer loves to inflict a lot. Otherwise, I'd do the same as you. Agrat and Eisheth are good damagers.

Nope, Always True Lucifer.

@@kaiserkreuz2110 Even prior to unlocking True Lucifer?

I think you have to unlock him to get this challenge. I know you have to at least get both CoV endings at least.

Yeah, you can level him up, but not minmax him, which makes him kinda useless, sadly...

He can be over level 200 in his original game reaching a cap of 255.
