Mitama Farming Advice

[K9ofChaos]

I know you're supposed to use the spyglass to figure out each mitama's weakness, but are there any good AOE attacks for each element that you would recommend for farming say, four mitamas at once?

Also, is there any spyglass-like items that can read the weaknesses of more than one mitama?

[pozertron]

Mitamas will have random resistances, so even in a situation where you meet 4 of the same mitama in a fight, all 4 have different resistances, making AoE spells an easy way to fumble your turn. If you pump the magic damage, you could probably get away with casting an Almighty spell, but it will have to be a real strong one, and your stats will need to be up top.

Yabusame shot, it's a penetrating all foes critical hit, but that's later in the game, at least the fourth map in the base game (from some crow demon)

[xdkillfor34]

Almighty is usually your best bet for aoe, since their element blocking drains your turns, which means elemental spells are not efficient. They do resist it, but stronger aoe almighty attacks are fine for them. And unless you are on hard mode, you can reduce the difficulty for intense farming, and then any almighty damage is good.

If you got the dlc with the 2 items with infinite use, just use the gleam grenade or whatever its called and youll one shot the whole group of ugly mitama. Otherwise, I think the almighty attack you get early game is called Life Drain. Its a single target skill that, well, drains the target's HP.

I do have Gleam Grenade. But is it truly powerful enough to take out four mitama at once? It also says on the main page of the game that it's available until 04:00 am UTC June 21, 2024, does that mean everyone will lose it after the 22nd or will you still have the 2 sacred treasures items for the rest of your copy of them game unless you order it after the 22nd?

The grenade seems to scale with your magic stat so if you pump up that stat high enough it MIGHT be enough....

Also; I think the notice for that gleam grenade being available is just for the people who bought the game before that deadline; a sort of early adopter benefit.... Atlus would REALLY be sinking to a new low if they take away the grenade after the deadline expires

Nope
The grenade is weak, you will deal around 7-16 damage. Not sure if having more magic helps but that's what I was doing when I started with a magic build
The healing item from the pre order heals around 11-22 hp
Edit: I'm playing on Hard so it might be different in Normal

[DeStroYeR]

I'd say your chances of killing multiple are very low in early-game. Even then, if you use an AoE and it gets blocked by at least two, that's the end if your turn and they're likely to run right after.

Difficulties matter a lot. On normal i can use nahobino with grenades and a demon with life drain for at least one kill, and a chance for more if any use debilitate. But dropping down to safety makes it do 100+ dmg right before hydra despite a str focus. Also the magic scaling is more noticeable, as at the very beginning of the game, it dealt below 40 which couldnt even one shot them on safety.

Nyami Nyami has a unique ice skill that ignores defense and pierces, which is unfortunately single-target.If you pass turns after using it then you should be able to use it twice per battle. Used it until I was able to get Megido (mid strength almighty magic) on a Fortuna due to that Miracle that gives random skills on level-up.

[Emerald Lance]

Mermaid has a unique attack called Stormcaller Song. It deals 3-6 hits of ice damage to random foes. It isn't exactly reliable, but you can fuse Mermaid really early at level 12. It might be possible to get mabufu earlier, but I'm 16 and still haven't gotten it yet (though I do have a demon with mazio so it can't be that far off).

Well, right after posting this, I went to the second area and found out this strategy no longer works against the now lvl 30 mitamas. Back to using Binoculars then using one of the shards bought from the shop or the skill version if available.

For me at level 16 4 uses of the grenade cleated them, so pass with everyone, who cannot use the grenade, and use the grenade, with Human allies and your main character.

[mimizukari]

when 4 appear, i just use any ma<element> attack. with 4 your odds are pretty good, you'll still break a turn but can use a 2nd one, if two happen to be weak to same elem ez W.

Might be too late, but my best farming demon is Cu Chulainn.
Gae Bolg has built in pierce with 100% crit rate, so it's a guaranteed 1/2 press turn.
Playing on Hard, and he can 2 shot Mitama in Taito.
Also, his built in Magatsuhi Skill is Omagatoki Luck.
Very useful for VR Chain Battle Grinding. (150k Exp and 100k Macca per run)
