Satan Behavioral Patterns
| Satan Behavior |
|---|
|

Uses Megido Ark at the start of the turn
Satan will always use a Megiddo Ark on the first turn. Since either you or your demons will definitely be defeated, you will need to have Enduring Soul or a Whittled Goat to withstand the first Megido Ark.
Summons a demon at the start and everytime you kill a minion
Satan will summon a demon companion on the first turn, and then summon one whenever necessary after defeating all of the summoned minions or using the Magatsuhi skill after absorbing the minions with Magatsuhi Plunder. Below is a list of all Satan's companions and their Magatsuhi skills.
Hariti

Sraosha
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Shield of God | Greatly decreases damage to all allies until the next turn. |
Absorbs demon minions through Magatsuhi Plunder
Once every three turns, he absorbs a minion with Magatsuhi Plunder to recover HP, and Satan's defensive compatibility and Magatsuhi skill change to the same as what the absorbed demon possesses.
Uses absorbed demon's Magatsuhi skill afterwards
After using Magatsuhi Plunder, Satan will use the Magatsuhi skill of the demon he absorbed. If Hariti and Sarasvati were absorbed, Satan's HP will be fully restored with the Magatsuhi skill Waters of Youth, or Eternal Prayer, so defeating them should be your top priority when they are summoned.
Counters Ailments with an Almighty attack
Satan's Innate Skill, Adversary, counters any status ailment spells casted on him with a severe Almighty skill. Avoid using any status ailment moves that also lowers Satan's stats, like Cleopatra's Frolic, to avoid getting hurt by this counterattack.
What to Do Before Fighting Satan
| Satan Preperation |
|---|
|
|
Have the Nahobino learn Luminescent Mirage and Intercalation
Nahobino's Luminescent Mirage and Paraselene Blur are unique skills from the Tsukiyomi essence, Tsukiyomi Ultimus, which you can obtain through talking to the female researcher in the Tokyo Diet Building.
Luminescent Mirage is a guaranteed evasion support move that can trigger Satan's Megidolaon without activating his Megido Ark.
Intercalation
Have Enduring Soul and a Whittled Goat ready
Satan will always use a Megido Ark on the first turn. Since either you or your demons will definitely be defeated, you will need to have Enduring Soul or a Whittled Goat to withstand the first Megido Ark. Aside from that, having a safety net from moves that can oneshot you is always good since this will be a long battle.
Fuse Elemental-specialized Demons
This fight with Satan is long and you will be needing to deal damage to him and the minions he summons. Each of the minions Satan summons have different affinities and weaknesses so it's essential that you are prepared to tackle everything during the fight. In addition, make sure your demons have Pleroma or High Pleroma skills for their elemental attacks to increase its damage.
Use Balms, Sutras, and Incenses
To increase your chance of outputting a lot of damage as well as surviving damage, use all the balms, sutras and incenses you get throughout the game on yourself and your demons. Don't be afraid to skimp on it since this is one of, if not the toughest, fight in the game.
Have your items ready
Since this is a long fight, we recommend having a variety of MP and HP-restoring items. This is a test of endurance so make sure to stock up on all your restorative items as well as Balms of Life and Purge or Dispel Charms to aid you in your fight.

Use Luminescent Mirage except on Satan's Magatsuhi Plunder turn
It is important to always get rid of Satan's turns because he will either use a Megidolaon or Megido Ark to get rid of your or your allies. By using Luminescent Mirage, this cuts Satan's turns in half, lowering his chances of using Megido Ark.
Attack Satan while using buffs and debuffs
Satan has very high Vitality and HP, and if you're not constantly buffing and debuffing yourself, Satan can run your MP dry quickly. In addition to the HP he restores through Magatsuhi Plunder, you will have a difficult time bringing Satan's HP down while managing your MP. We highly recommend using Beelzebub as your main debuffer because of his innate skill, Biondetta, and Konohana Sakuya as your main healer and buffer.
Switch out your demons depending on Satan's minions
With Satan summoning new demons everytime you kill one of his companions, it's vital that you keep a variety of demons who can target every demon's weaknesses. Below is a list of all the companions Satan can summon throughout the fight.
| Demon | Weaknesses and Affinities |
|---|---|
 Kumbhanda
|
Block: Force Resist: Dark Weak: Electric |
 Fafnir
|
Resist: Physical Weak: Ice, Electric |
 Sraosha
|
Absorb: Light Resist: Ice, Electric Weak: Force |
 Arahabaki
|
Block: Physical Resist: Light, Dark Weak: Fire, Ice, Electric, Force |
 Hariti
|
Block: Dark Resist: Sleep Weak: Force |
 Macabre
|
Block: Dark, Poison Resist: Confusion Weak: Light |
 Ganesha
|
Block: Force Resist: Physical, Confusion Weak: Electric, Dark, Poison |
 Titania
|
Block: Light Resist: Dark, Sleep, Mirage Weak: Fire |
 Sarasvati
|
Block: Ice, Charm Resist: Confusion Weak: Fire, Dark |
 Yatagarasu
|
Block: Light Resist: Force Weak: Dark, Charm |
 Mada
|
Absorb: Fire Block: Dark Weak: Ice |
Prioritize killing Hariti and Sarasvati
Hariti and Sarasvati are your top prioirity targets when Satan summons them because of their Magatsuhi skill. Both of their race skils can heal Satan back to full HP so be sure to kill them off before Satan can absorb them with Magatsuhi Plunder,
Use your Magatsuhi skills wisely
Your own Magatsuhi skills can definitely come in clutch whenever you need so using and choosing when to use your Magatsuhi skills can make or break your run.
Best Demons to Use Against Satan
| Recommended Demons |
|---|
|
|
Konohana Sakuya
Konohana Sakuya is the best healer in the game with her unique skill, Sakura Sakuya, that can heal HP and MP along with a Luster Candy to top it off, all in one skill. Add in Bowl of Hygieia to increase her HP recovery as well as Heal Pleroma and High Heal Pleroma and she's an invaluable ally to your team.
Beelzebub
Beelzebub will be your main debuffer due to his innate skill, Biondetta, which increases how much your debuffs do to enemies when there are no Herald, Megami, Femme, or Lady demons in the active party. With Konohana Sakuya as your Kunitsu healer demon, he can fully take advantage of this to make his Debilitate more potent. Add in Boon Boost and Boon Boost EX for even more effective debuffing
Masakado
Masakado will be your main source of damage dealing along with Nahobino. With his unique skill, Recalcitrant Execution, he can hit all of Satan's party hard and can also guarantees an additional press turn with his innate skill, Scarlet Blade, which increases Critical Rate and damage of Critical hits. Add in Critical Zealot for a damage increase and Bloody or Murderous Glee to increaase his Critical chance.
Shiva
Shiva is your other option for a strong damage dealer if you don't have Masakado. Tandava is an hard-hitting Almighty skill that can hit all of Satan's party. This move also lowers the opponent's Defense to the lowest rank for three turns.

I think that you confounded the intercalation with paraselene blur. Paraselene blur is 4 medium strength-based light attacks to 1 foe (only usable after evading an attack the previous turn)
