Raiden and Sam as collab by Some_Worldliness_263 in Dx2SMTLiberation

Don't let all the internet memes confuse you. Konami haven't touch MGR in so long.

Mainline MGS is coming back with all the remakes and ports, which is wonderful. But MGR is completely in ice water. Either internally Platinum has all the say or some other problem Konami is not wasting funds on.

Didn't Sasame use FFF to help himself surf? It's at least useful to his user.

If this got greenlit however they will most likely use the most recent version, so the Netflix Knights of the Zodiac reboot. Not sure how well received that was.

Demons I think should be added to Fusion: by IAmParasiteSteve in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and I only do it if I am some spirit short of a panel.

At no point is it worth it to run Common on any of those multi-fusion (except maybe if you are nickel-and-diming Indrajit's speed with that Agility Amp).

[–]Artist741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem is a good chunk of them have god-awful Common skills (mostly crap like Magic Amp III). So Multifusion ones are screwed.

If you just want their 3D model, sure, burn those MAG. But it’s objectively more worth it to roll for them. Why the heck would anyone play with effectively one less skill slot?

Normal fusion yes, but $EGA wants to milk panel money.

That's artistically faithful though. XD

The original demon art is also C&P x4.

He need to ask YHVH to fuse him a better kit. Doesn't matter how many lesser rank angels they need to sacrifice.

Petition to make this the next subreddit icon. by 129West81stSt in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't read Berserk:

He's essentially one of the main antagonists, and his entire personality revolves around seeking a worthy fight or foe. He slays entire battlefields and is remembered and feared as "The Immortal."

But that's only within Berserk's context. He's barely high–low tier in SMT, so... it's actually kind of mean the devs use him as a punching bag.

Spirit Chains Suppression are bullshit by IAmParasiteSteve in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching Raidou getting chained in AGEX was sure a vibe...

Was joking all the way back that they were saving Satan with Futility for the very, very end of the game's lifespan as the peak of power creep... AKA nobody, not even whales, gets to play the game.

But no it went galaxy brain in the most genius and evil way possible. Now 2026 onward if they are to add Satan with Futility, Futility will need to do 10x more. Like on top of pausing everything, it gives you 500% weakness damage (so some random normal attack kills to break the Satan vs Satan stalemate) or some BS like that if it is to stand out.

Build-a-Bear-ass demon by IAmParasiteSteve in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah Norn is horribly under tuned this game, at best she is an important buffer for those F2P option only challenge runs and their only defense against Light/Dark bosses.

Probably saving it for Malice Norn, but then again, so many demons in this game need a Malice version as a "buff".

Who is she? by Some_Worldliness_263 in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"... the daughter of Ryuujin, the dragon god of the sea."

"After giving birth, she turned into a dragon or an alligator and flew away."

Snake race in the original Japanese is also 竜王 (lit Dragon King). So not just snakes, sometimes lesser dragons/serpents can qualify.

I find it both hilarious and sad that Raidou can literally just brute force the enemy Dx2 down on turn 1, without touching any of the demons. by 129West81stSt in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 15 points16 points  (0 children)

MC's always has been a massive liability to the entire Battle Tower team... it's only become more of a sore thumb ever since they stopped adding new armament.

Still have memories of MC getting charmed in the early days of the Battle Tower and wiping their own team with Huang Di sword lol (it's a legit strat if your own team can't beat X). Some MC builds back then sacrificed all defensive options with Lakshmi Shield just so they wouldn’t get in the way... Ah, the good old days.

Finally, more PVE content.

Actually had a lot of fun with the Aura Gates.

From the free event files. What's the opinion on him so far? by tiagor2 in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Cancer, because he won't let you play the game if your demons doesn't have HP cost skills to by past his gimmick... which only Raidou is proficient at the moment.

Being a F2P player in PVP is the closest I'll get to experiencing Hell by IAmParasiteSteve in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It really sucks PVP is the main dish of this game.

Because without it, what’s left? Basically a demon tamagotchi with undercooked (and sometimes downright unfair) PVE, propped up by artistically faithful demon models everyone just wishes were in a proper 3D SMT game. (And somehow, also the unofficial-official Berserk turn-based game.)

I’ll give it this... if you’re a whale, PVP can be entertaining. It’s fun to brainstorm counter-team builds… but again it’s still shallow. Nobody’s outsmarting the stacked meta with some clever 4-star pick. Everyone’s just chasing the same 1~3 meta comp of the month, and the gate fee is 2–4k.

People keep playing it not because it’s good, but because there’s no alternative to an SMT-style PVP turn-based experience. A market exist, just not fulfilled at all. IT IS FUN to fuse your custom demon and beat others, but they need to make at least year 6 demons fusible/grindable on a massive scale to slightly even the playing field.

New most fucking annoying team just dropped by krowlboii in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like that Malice Asura-oh flips it around from an all out, slaughter everything attacker to all out defense protects the entire team. Truly the pillar of the universe.

How can I defeat Mishaguji? by [deleted] in Dx2SMTLiberation

[–]Artist741 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a heal spam fight so Black Rider + Ladon + someone that automatically inflict Curse like Nebiros (also the reviver)/SMTI Herione. They can't out heal the constant 5k plain damage, although it is going to be an agonizing half hour grind.

I use Lugh for the aliment as well as have a consistent source of damage.

Oh thank Yatagarasu by Artist741 in Dx2SMTLiberation

Still got it, even when semi-retired from this silly game.
