No cheese, no status ailments

[@KuroReisho]

Befitting of the end since he was teased in his own game

[@un_frog1307]

I love that all support nahobino. I gotta steal that build

[@ypcys]

1 HOUR?!!!!
Masakado isn't fucking playing

[@CSw321]

I wasted a lot of time at 15:00 - 42:00 not switching Masakado back in earlier. I realized that he was trapped in a loop too late but I also feared that he will break it - which he did, at 58:39.
I played it very safe due to random Freikugel and Recalcitrant crit PTSD until he started casting 2 diaramas in a row forcing me to increase my damage output.

[@ypcys]

@@CSw321 still good on you regardless bro 7 press turns is OD. You think Satan or Masakado is better in terms of damage output? (as a demon on your team not as bosses.)

[@sarinman5315]

​@@ypcysSatan is only really great if you're fighting 3 or more targets, otherwise Masakado is far more helpful

[@blastmole299]

​@@ypcysSatan has better resistances, but Masakado has a much better passive, and Megiddo Ark is terrible if there's only 1 target

[@deadspacemasseffect]

​@@CSw321what do you mean trapped in loop?

[@PriscentSnow]

Excuse me?? What the fk do you mean 1 hour fight??
Jokes aside props to you on doing this with no cheese. Chalk this up to something I’ll never be able to do 😂 kudos!

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

And here I was, trying to beat him with classic Strength build Nahobino while this dodge build seems much more interesting. Props to you!

[@Alexj96]

Hey! Do you happen to know any of his AI behaviour? In this fight he barely used Execution until the end and for me he spams it every time he gets to a certain HP mark.

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

@@Alexj96 Yeah, he uses it when he's down to 1/3 or in the red. Otherwise, only elemental dracostrikes or Freikugel. The thing is to eat his turns the most possible so he doesn't heal as much, but with spamming RE near the end, it's more of a matter of being buffed and him debuffed. I also used Demeter for a 125% full team heal, but sometimes he does outdamage the heal.

[@Alexj96]

@@kaiserkreuz2110 Thank you, the thing that confuses me is that in this video he literally dosnt use it for many many turns until the very end, so im thinking if theres a way to force that or it was just extreme luck? Seems unlikely no?

[@kaiserkreuz2110]

@@Alexj96 It's more like a phase switch. Once he hits a certain HP threshold, he just spams it every turn.

[@Alexj96]

@@kaiserkreuz2110 Thanks again, but is not the case in this videos. He goes like 30 minutes or more with health way under 30% without doing it once. Now, in my attempts he always does it but it seems theres a way to avoid it maybe, same as Satan with Megido Ark.

[@ultragamer952]

Does he give you anything? Not undermining your efforts or anything but is fighting his true form worth it? Or is it a show of skill

[@CSw321]

Just the 61,800 macca and a destruction sutra.

[@Alexj96]

Is there a way for him to not spam Execution every turn after his HP reaches a certain mark? I see he barely did it to you until the end but as soon as i get to like 30% he spams it.

[@yagami999913]

Do you get to keep the regular Nahobino form in Vengeance or is this in Canon of Creation ? I don't like the looks of the new Nahobino form ...

[@wattamugen4055]

Pretty sure you can choose

[@hyperten5906]

spoiler warning
In the canon of creation, you keep the regular naho form the entire game, in the vengeance version, you get to have it up until the end of shinjuku ( the replacement for chiyoda ) and you use it all the way to the throne, then after you fight tiamat, you get the regular form back, but at that point, theres only two fights left, tehom for law, mastema for chaos, and lucifer regardless of your route

[@hyde_stopStealingMyUsername]

wait what the hell is true masakado, i've been stuck on the 'normal' masakado for 10h now .-.

[@JoJoEleonora]

How can i get masakado? I play in CoV for the first time

[@pyros4618]

You gotta be playing on Cannon of Creation route to unlock him

[@Emperorwolf999]

am i the only one that doesn't like "kabuki" masakado? i prefer his two forms from SMT2

[@Sataneal42069]

Smt 4 masakado was peak masakado. My 2nd favorite is general masakado in smt2 and dx2

[@Emperorwolf999]

@@Sataneal42069 IV madakado was good from a story perspective, but his design was kinda ugly... But yea I do like smt2's soulless and restored designs

[@Junpeidaman190]

According to Dx2 this design is his true form

[@Emperorwolf999]

@@Junpeidaman190 but it's a rectangle...
The armoured design from 2 might have a bald spot but it still looks cooler

[@Valimarr]

yeah he looks good in smt 2 while his kabuki iteration just looks stupid especially with the whole floating t-pose thing
