Possible addition of select abilities from Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE

[Jaakuace43]

These abilities include:

- The ability to absorb Almighty attacks, which provides immunity to skills such as Megiddo Ark (Satan's most powerful Almighty spell in Apocalypse), Mouth of God (YHVH's instant-kill attack in both Shin Megami Tensei II and IV Apocalypse), Infinite Light (Kagutsuchi's most powerful Almighty spell), Supernova (one of YHVH's most powerful Almighty spells in Apocalypse), and Singularity Wave (Stephen's most powerful attack in Apocalypse).




- The ability to use both physical skills and magic at no cost.

- ...and Immunity to knockback.




While IMAGINE may not have been made by Atlus themselves, it was made with their blessing, so I believe these additions to be valid. If the admins are unwilling, then that's understandable.

Here are two wiki links: One containing the stats and abilities Demi-Fiend has in IMAGINE, and his page on the official Megami Tensei Wiki (which itself contains a link to the former, for verification of its legitimacy).

ADDENDUM:

I would also like to post a link to the JP IMAGINE wiki, further cementing that this addition would be legitimate.

Specifically, I would like to point out this section:


µÀÀµ▓îþÄïõ║║õ┐«þ¥àÒü¿Õ»¥µêªÒüÖÒéïÚÜÄÕ▒ñÒÇé

Which roughly translates to:

"Floor on which (the player) fights King of Chaos Demi-Fiend.

Uses many high-power skills, including a Gun type skill that deals a fixed damage of 9999.

Has high resistances (to most attacks); immunity to Light, Dark, Charm, Nerve, and Mind Spells; and absorbs Self-destruct and Almighty."



NOTE: Demi-Fiend's ability to absorb Almighty attacks would NOT necessitate an overall tier change, though it may qualify for a durability upgrade, or perhaps abilities related to Almighty Absorption. I'll leave that up to the admins.

On second thought, it might be fair to say Almighty Absorption falls under Attack Absorption.

That said, the ability to use physical skills and magic at no cost seems like a noteworthy ability to add.

It would be a fairly innocuous addition, which wouldn't affect his tier, speed, etc..

Imagine Demi-Fiend's tier would be the exact same as it was when Demi-Fiend went down the True Demon Route in Nocturne. (Imagine Demi-Fiend is shown to be one of Lucifer's generals in the anniversary event where his first boss battle takes place, which implies he went down the TDE path.)

It probably doesn't affect the tier, but the additions look fine

Yeah, the tier wouldn't be affected. Durability-wise would be a strong maybe, but that's about as far as it goes in terms of stat-changing, though.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Can you sum up the additions so I can put them in the profile?

 

[Jaakuace43]

- Absorption to Almighty attacks (Could fall under Attack Absorption anyway, but maybe it could be considered separate - I figured it was noteworthy since no other demon in mainline could outright ABSORB Almighty. That and the implications of such an ability struck me as interesting. That's up to you, though.)

- Able to use Physical Skills and Magic at no cost.

Admittedly, I probably put a bit too much effort into the post, considering only two of the skills were worth adding, but... eh.
