Isn't satan kind of overpowered?
So I did my first playthrough as hard and on the CoV route and then cheesed both demi fiend and satan to unlock godborne mode.

Now, since this is my first time ng+ in this game and I read everything is lv150, I was expecting to get blasted by even the scrubbiest of scrub enemies but then this satan guy... he is apparently able to drain everything except almighty and still have room for support moves like luster candy, boon boost ex, taunt, etc.

He basically is trivializing everything since his taunt forces enemies to target him -> their attack gets drained -> they lose their turn instantly. This also means half of the time, the enemy was supposed to pop their group magatsuhi thing at the end of their turn but it gets cancelled because their turn got cancelled preemptively.

This is kind of crazy, no? I fought huang long (the giant golden chinese dragon thing in the first area) as soon as I got to that area and even though I was super underleveled and did so little damage, the fact that satan was there cancelling the enemy turn let me win slowly but surely! I was expecting satan to be op but he's op in a very different way than I imagined.

nope. For attacker, Gogmagog is the strongest one in the game. use Xiezhai's essence as your Nahobino's affinity and deploy Xiezhai then Gogmagog can have really high damage

the second one is Masakado, use many buff + omagatoki crits

the third one is Arioch if you love keep your allies dead in the stock

the fourth one is grind many hits from Artemis or Agrat in the same turn, and deploy Kohryu + Mermaid and do the final damage from Metatron/Zaou-Gongen/Efreet/Nyami-Nyami/Gurulu/Laop-Garou under any Omagatoki effect

You can also build all repel Lucifer while keeping his Root of Evil, this skill is really useful to get rid Impaler's Animus during virtual battle

I dunno how you beat Satan and Demi-Fiend and are only now just realizing that the endgame is comical absurdity and nothing makes sense.

I wasn't expecting this but this tank satan build face tanked godborne hard masakado too. I was even playing a crit heavenly ikuyumi build so like.. the boss was getting the full value out of his own innate. Something kind of interesting I found out about guarding is that guarding either blocks crits from happening or they greatly cut the chances cuz satan was really not having much trouble eating the almighty attacks until the very end where the boss went full ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with them. For the other 80% of the fight, the boss was casually chunking satan with an almighty attack, then immediately healed him back to full with a drained elemental dracostrike move lol.

I haven't done the super masakado fight yet tho, but I know I can't do that cuz my stats are nowhere near maxed (average stats in my team is like 300)
