SMT IV - Uriel/Raphael (Low Level*, Master Difficulty, NG+, DLC)

"The demons of the land... The Angels of Death" Rules broken : None lol Do I have to copy paste the entire rules here again? Uriel : As shown in the "U R I E L is a meme" video, he only has two attacks, one being Kannuki-Throw which hits up to 15 times (1-15) randomly, and with Giri/Flynn repels Phys, there's about 50% chance it gets repelled, and if it doesn't, the move itself doesn't pose any threats. He has Tetrabreak (the only time it's fucking viable in-game is when a boss uses it lmao) so just bring up demons that repel Physical. Because he doesn't have Makarabreak, the best move is to spam Makarakarn until he fucking dies, while dealing as much damage with your Force skills as possible. Taru/Raku/Suku-skills are very unreliable and slow, therefore it's best to just Debilitate him. Raphael : Not a hard fight, just frustrating. Seems like DLC bosses get a lots of evade/hit rate buffed up, which means you'll inevitably miss when try to hit him. Now he has two interesting moves to talk about, one being Stigmata Strike, which means if a demon gets it, the only way to cure it is imminent death, or wait it out, or just switch them out and use the other demon. And the second being, Serpent of Sheol which sucks out your HP and your MP while at that as well, which is fucking annoying and very "balanced". The only way to counter it is to either hope that he hits himself with Stigmata Strike, so you're usually forced to bring Tetrakarn up. In my experience, he tends to just spam Serpent of Sheol if you bring Makarakarn up, so just summon a demon that repel Force instead. Best to stock up resources before this fight, because you'll be using a copius amount of Great Chakras/Bead Chains. After he asks you a question, he'll use Dekaja/Dekunda, so you will have to reapply debuff. Of course - Debilitate is still the only way, no access to Luster Candy really hurts what you can do a lots. Basically it's an endurance test, unlike Asmodeus where you can switch out demons. Keep it up, spam Fire skills and he should be dead.
