SMT IV - Masakado's Shadow (Low Level*, Master Difficulty, NG+, DLC)

Rules broken : Grinded from level 59 to level 66. DLC skills were used (Spirit Focus, Archangel's Law, Dark Energy). A copius amount of grimoire/incenses were used to boost Hanuman/Moh Shuvuu/Alice/Flynn's stats. Capped at 250-260. Honestly? Bucketgetter was right. I attempted the fight with Moh Shuvuu/Flynn/Alice at 250 MAG twice, and it's just not feasible. I attempted the fight with 150 MAG ish, and 250 AGI, still impossible. Alice and Moh Shuvuu dies fast, and other demons that I do tried to use on this fight with higher base stats and health demons, mixed in with grimoire, and it's still impossible. Curse Thy Enemy hits too hard, and generally surviving for 8 whole turns without demons that have health in the 700-900 range while dishing out a total of 18k damage in 10 turns is bullshit. At Master Difficulty, it's just impossible to do, without you being way up level 99 with base stats, or without the use of incenses. Even with Beastly/Draconic Reaction, Curse Thy Enemy could still fuck your entire team up. So I am forced to run with the fast kill strategy. So, it takes a while, but it pays off. You'd need Spirit Focus on two main damage dealer, and Archangel's Law on two supports (naturally, one of them is Flynn because Desperate Hit deals jack shit damage even with Dark Energy). The general idea here is to buff/debuff up to +2/-2 (+3 or -3 would make him use Silent Prayer), then use Spirit Focus, paired with Archangel's Law to whiff down Masakado fast. Even with a high damage output, it still takes us 5 turns, 5 whole turns out of 10, which is 1/2 turns of the fight to take him down. I love the music in this fight, but the general restriction and the gimmick of the fight itself is bullshit. I still have other DLCs left to finish, and I'll return to the original Level 59 save to beat them. Properly.
