Best Demons to Use Against Lahmu

Demons not weak to Dark

This fight is not that difficult as Lahmu will only use Mudo until someone wins. Creating a team full of demons resistant to Dark attacks will give you an easy victory.

Just don't bring anyone weak to Dark as they can be instakilled by Mudo.

Can spam Force and Light skills

Bring demons who have strong Force and Light attacks to target Lahmu's weakness, preferably with high skill proficiency. Just make sure that they're not weak to Dark (like Archangel) if you don't want them wiped out by Lahmu's Mudo.

How to Beat Lahmu

Weak against Force and Light Only attacks with Mudo Appears after the first battle

Weak Against Force and Light

Lahmu is weak to Force and Light attacks. Bring your best Zan and Hama spammers to dish out massive damage and gain extra turns.

Only Attacks with Mudo

This boss only knows Mudo, so bringing demons that can block Dark attacks will end his turn immediately. On the other hand, demons weak to Dark can be instakilled by Mudo and give Lahmu additional turns.

Change Nahobino's Affinities

If you haven't learned the Divine Amalgamation miracle yet then learn it immediately to allow the option of Essence Fusion to gain a demon's affinities instead of its skills. This can offset the Nahobino's weak to Dark skills which is Lahmu's main damaging skill.

Appears After the First Battle

Lahmu will appear right after the first battle in Jozoji Temple so be sure you're prepared before entering the area. The waves consist of 2 Lamia, 2 Anzu, and Lahmu so we recommend adding Zan users in your team before you go in.
