Just as you want to enter the hidden secret cave, you will be interrupted by a rather scary-looking spirit. He will ask you if you want to face Masakado. When you get inside the cave, you’ll realize that the spirit is Masakado himself! And he’s a tough cookie to crack!
In this guide, we are going to show you what needs to be done in order to take down Masakado Superboss with just a couple of moves. Let’s get started.
Masakado Superboss Fight Guide – Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
Team Layout
Masakado is very difficult to hit due to his skills and powers. He does not come with a lot of HP but when he strikes you it will hurt and drain a lot of points. That’s why this team composition works best:
- Demeter
- Cleopatra
- Mara
These side characters will buff up your main one and allow you to deal a very powerful strike.
Tactics for Taking Down Masakado
The best way to take down Masakado is not to let him play a turn. He does a lot of DMG and if he hits you once, you’ll lose a lot of time trying to heal.
Step 1 – Charge
Activate charge with your main character as soon as the battle starts.
Step 2 – Luster Candy
When playing with Demeter as your second turn, simply navigate to the skill called Luster Candy. This will give you the buff and extra attack you need for an ultimate killing move.
Step 3 – Frolic
Now it’s Cleopatra’s turn. You need to activate the Frolic skill on him. You might miss this one, but if you do hit the boss, he will be stunned and with his defenses lowered.
Step 4 – Omagatoki: Savage
When playing with Mara you just need to do the Omagatoki Savage skill. This will double any type of DMG you deal with your characters.
Final Step – Murakumo
Now just go back to your main character by passing the turn from the others. Activate Murakumo as your attack skill and the boss with go down with one strike. Congratulations!
We hope that this guide has helped you out in taking down Masakado Superboss in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Good luck!
