Shin Megami Tensei has always been about forging pacts with otherworldly beings. Recruiting demons in Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, remastered for modern platforms, takes that a step further by introducing conversational nuance. Gone are the straightforward “yes” or “no” dialogues. Now, understanding a demon’s personality and motivations is key. Are you facing a greedy, power-hungry fiend? Offer Macca. Dealing with a prideful entity? Flattery will get you everywhere. It’s a delicate dance of give and take, and mastering this art is crucial for building a powerful party from the expansive roster of over 120 demons.
Returning players and newcomers alike will discover a diverse range of creatures, pulled from the rich history of the SMT series.

Building the Ultimate Devil Squad Synergy and Strategy
Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army returns with a demonic roster bigger than ever! With the influx of over 120 demons, both returning favorites and new recruits, building the perfect Devil Squad for any situation is a tantalizing prospect.

A well-balanced team can exploit enemy weaknesses and dominate even the toughest encounters. For example, pairing a demon specializing in fire attacks with one that debuffs enemy fire resistance will set the battlefield ablaze.
Thinking about fusion? Strategic fusion is key to crafting truly powerful allies. Don’t be afraid to experiment and see what unique combinations you can create. Pay attention to inherited skills and resistances. Combining complementary skills can result in a demon that can control the flow of battle, while well-rounded resistances ensure survivability.
