How to Beat Camael

Camael is a boss in Shin Megami Tensei V (SMT 5). Read on to know the best strategies to use against Camael, Camael's weaknesses, best demons to use against Camael, and the best buffs to use to counter Camael, and the most effective strategies to use to beat Camael!

How to Beat Camael

Focus Your Attacks on Camael Use Taunt On Fire-Resistant Ally Use Tetrakarn or Phys Dampeners Buff Your Party Use Taunt On Light-Resistant Ally

Focus Your Attacks on Camael

Eliminate Camael as early as you can in the fight, as Camael has Diarama which grants moderate HP recovery to 1 ally. Using multi-target attacks is also ideal as you'll be damaging the Power demons as well, but make sure to prioritize killing Camael.

Use Taunt On Fire-Resistant Ally

This strategy works against Camael's Agidyne which is a heavy Fire attack to 1 foe. Camael uses this attack on normal turns, so it is best to have your ally demon that can block, absorb, or resist Fire become the bait for this attack.

Use Tetrakarn or Phys Dampeners

Camael and the enemy Power demons also rely heavily on Phys attacks. We recommend using Tetrakarn or Phys Dampeners to block their Phys attacks.

Camael Uses Hades Blast After Activating Omagatoki: Critical

Camael uses a multi-target Phys attack after it taps into Magatsuhi. To counter Hades Blast during Bishamonten's next turn, we recommend using Phys Dampener or Tetrakarn after Camael gathers Magatsuhi.

Buff Your Party

Don't hesitate to go all out in buffing your party's attack and defense as Camael does not possess any skill that can undo buffs you cast on yourselves. Skills like Matarukaja and Marakukaja can go a long way in buffing your party's Attack and Defense respectively.

Use Taunt On Light-Resistant Ally

Enemy Power demons cast Hamaon, a heavy Light attack to 1 foe with chance of instakill when striking weakness. We recommend casting taunt to the ally that can either block, absorb, or resist Light attacks and become the bait for Hamaon.

Best Demons to Use Against Camael

Demons That Have Ice Attacks

Camael is weak to Ice attacks, so we recommend using demons that have Bufu skills or its other variations. Take advantage of the weakness-exploit system to effectively attack Camael and secure more turns for your party.

Demons That Have Phys Immunity

We recommend bringing along demons that can either block, absorb, or resist Phys attacks as Camael and the Power demons rigorously use their Phys attacks. You can effectively cut off Camael's turns by shutting down its Phys attacks.
