Let's steel ourselves against the Demi-Fiend Boss fight!
Aside from the DLCs main meat, the Return of the Demon DLC also includes the entirety of all Fiend Bosses and unlocks them later via fusion.
It has also been stated that the Demi-Fiend is a Post-Game boss fight which means its going to be a hyper difficult fight. In its previous appearance in Digital Devil Saga, an optimized, non-cheesed boss fight will take roughly 40 - 50 minutes. Just goes to show the battle's difficulty.

It is best to treat the upcoming batlle similarly to how you would a battle against yourself. The main protagonist will have his original set of moves and weaknesses so plan out your strategy with this in mind.
As an SMT protagonist, the Demi-Fiend wll also be summoning demon as reinforcements. This is highly likely as it was shown in the DLC that he is together with Uber Pixie in the opening scene.
In Digital Devil Saga, equipping a null-skill will cause the Demi-Fiend to go berserk and end the fight immediately. The same can be said for this DLC Boss Fight, but in a different way. Failing to defeat an ally of the Demi-Fiend every 6 turns will cause him to use Gaea Rage and end the fight right then and there.
