Everyone always seems to call out Hayataro for being completely useless when joining at the start of the Empyrean. That's certainly what one would expect from a level 40 demon that late in the game, but the funny thing is he's actually a somewhat decent filler demon against Nahobino Abdiel and Nahobino Nuwa, the first two endgame bosses in the Chaos route. Against Abdiel he can be swapped in at the end of the battle to use Phys Block (if for whatever reason no other demon has it) for Impetus and can survive a Purgatorium turn thanks to Enduring Soul, which not all demons can do. Against Nuwa he can survive the entire battle since he has Electric immunity, and he can actually contribute by using Witness Me to redirect Ziobarions to himself. Zanbarion would one-shot him even through Resist Force, but Enduring Soul allows him to survive one. Basically, he'd do the same thing as Kin-Ki here in this battle, but with potential Taunt support as well if the rest of the team doesn't have Electric immunity.
Not to mention his immense offensive capabilities with Carnage Fang. The damage is unrivaled by any demon at this stage of the game. Sure, it will be double digits if you are lucky, but he is trying his best.
I love how the length of the video is almost the exact same as the last Nuwa one lmao. Fun fact: She has a +3 phys affinity but only has a basic attack for physical damage. Atlus wtf man
This is probably due in part to Nuwa's humanoid form having a preference towards physical attacks, with her unique skill being one such physical attack.
Funny story about Kin-Ki According to some of my own testing, Kin-Ki has one of the highest Endurance growths in P5, as well as high strength. This unironically makes him one of the best demons to actively keep throughout the game for tanking almighty damage. The fact he repels gun means you can practically make him invincible as well, aside from his phys resistance at the cost of every skill slot you have (granted, Fafnir and Shiki-Ouji are more useful for that). He also has insanely skewed inheritance bias towards phys, gun and support skills, so actually building him via sacrifices barely takes any time if you give the fodder demon random offensive magic spells. Our tankiest son is truly the greatest. Edit: and from what I can only assume is an oversight, he can still inherit skills like myriad slashes even though he no longer has his weapon (which he had in base p5 due to Nocturne's skeletal structure being shared amongst the Oni brothers, no clue why that wasn't changed)
@@muddak3292 Kin-Ki would be cool in the Nocturne Hardtype run I'm doing but unfortunately I can only get him at ToK, leaving not much time to use him sadly.
So the only fight's remaining if I'm correct is Zeus rematch Lucifer Shiva Demi fiend Not sure how you are going to handle them but I wish you the best of luck (Fun fact: it's possible to do the Zeus fight in the empyrean before the ueno Zeus fight thus also making it possible to get danu in the law/chaos routes)
@@FungalFury you can pause buffer over the bridge near the umayabashi leyline and if done correctly you can travel through the temple of eternity and the empyrean It's used in speenruns sometimes
@@pokeoh45 But how does that relate to Danu? Is she the base encounter for the fight and after getting the keys, you can choose law/chaos for the other mothers?
@@muddak3292 from what I've noticed doing the glitch to get into the empyrean early tricks the game into thinking that you have gone down the neutral route allowing the player to unlock danu for fusion before the alignment lock Then when you go back to the empyrean as intended you can go back to the location and challenge Maria or inanna depending on what ending you went for (I apologize if I explained it poorly 😅)
Hayataro finally get some niche use for low level run like this, it's good to know that. Nuwa's really underwhelming considering that she has literally +3 affinity on Physical, which I expected she might have some kind of high tier physical skills or unique physical skills to help her with that. But no her kit is reduced to just electric skills. Oh my fucking god. We have Tsukuyomi with such a cool gimmick then Nuwa has NOTHING. Just... Questioning people at Atlus over there with their designs. Most of the times bosses are fun and challenging to fight ahainst, but also most of the fucking time they're just boring and downright easy to cheese.

Don't you just love that *most* bosses with more than 2 Press Turns are much easier than most other bosses
I love how the length of the video is almost the exact same as the last Nuwa one lmao.

I'm fairly certain Basic Attacks don't apply Phys proficiency at all; which is even crazier
@@unwithering5313 Indeed they do not, but Counter/Retaliate do. I guess it is a reference to human-form Nuwa having a phys affinity.
This is probably due in part to Nuwa's humanoid form having a preference towards physical attacks, with her unique skill being one such physical attack.
Nuwa is a weird boss but I love her design, theme and her and Yakumo were a cool duo, been a while since we had Dark / Chaotic Nuetral Reps.
Is it?
I mean we had Dagda in the game before this.
Literally the first enemy press turn and he is already showing his dominance. Man came a long way since the funny green man.
Kin-Ki
Time for the Kin-Ki sweep on Zeus 2, Lucifer, Shiva and Demi-Fiend, calling it right now

@@aly3392 Please don't tell me you are doing a low level run
@@muddak3292 Nah its a No Fusion + No Evolution run
the best nahobino theme for me
my favorite is still Tsukuyomi's, but Nuwa's theme goes so freaking hard it's impossible to call it "inferior"
Can we talk about how badazz the soundtrack is for this game
So the only fight's remaining if I'm correct is
Zeus rematch
Lucifer
Shiva
Demi fiend
Not sure how you are going to handle them but I wish you the best of luck

How are you getting inside the empyrean before defeating zeus?
