Investigate the Anomalies in Tokyo General Tips

How to Defeat Power

SMTVV - Power

All throughout the main quest, you will be encountering Power as a boss. Power is not that strong as a demon, but it is noteworthy to know how to fight it properly.

Power is weak to Force and Dark skills so it is best to bring demons with these skills in their repertoire such as Karasu Tengu, Lilim, or Setanta.
