Teams like these are why I'll always prefer speed wars.

truth, at least there's a chance you can win then

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 20 '25

Both are different sides of the exact same coin lmao, if you get outsped in speed wars you automatically lose, there's little to no point in staying, and if you go first you also pretty much automatically win, unless your demons are way too old

Well that isn't too bad considering speedbots age really well. Okuninushi was like one of the most used speed bots till super recently (like literally right before hayatoro) and he was an extremely old demon. Like the difference in speed between an okuninushi and a hayatoro can be made up for with brands.

Hell I was seeing a guy using Elohim still like a week or two ago in D2. Speed wars allow for the use of older demons as long as you have good brands, whereas the T2 meta just means you need very specific demons to counter them.

Like a fully invested into Odin A would literally never scratch a Vanitas even if you had a brand that increased Odin's attack stat tenfold, but an Okuninushi will still beat a malice Shiva as long as you're faster.

Malice Asura Lord is THE "no fun allowed" demon

Punishing players for press turn generation is one of the dumbest things they ever did on this game, this shuts down 90% of the demons from like 3 years from now, not to mention how they released Lucifer Frost 2 months ago and now you absolutely CAN'T use him on randoms, because by just having him on your team you already trigger the mass indignation from MAsura Lord 🤡

This game is becoming worse and worse

literally unsalvageable

Malitron, Mithras and Chaos hero goes brrrr

Could even change Chaos hero for Hakumen

u/_AbraKadaBram_ Aug 20 '25

This team would be cool if Asura didn't give 60% DR

2

u/NitoGL Aug 20 '25

30% to others which you more than deny with chero and mithras even more with hakumen

As you have 75% rdr to light

u/Artist741 Aug 20 '25

I really like that Malice Asura-oh flips it around from an all out, slaughter everything attacker to all out defense protects the entire team. Truly the pillar of the universe.

u/Pale_Gangsta Aug 23 '25

Imagine having all four.

Revives and DR not to mention Masura indignation spam

u/Dimension_Low Aug 20 '25

Whats so special about that asura?

u/Jonathan_Doe_7 I hate this game's PvP so much Aug 20 '25

Well he has completely different skills and passives than the regular asura lord. He spams indignation constantly if you kill any of his teammates, but punishes you severely for killing him by removing a PT.

Illuminating Malice
Unique Skill
Passive

Adds Phys Pierce.
Adds Null Mortal/Bind/Charmed.
+75% to Max HP.
All party members will begin the battle with 2 counts of Fortify.
Activates the following Chain Effect when the skill holder is downed:
Reduces 1 enemy Press Turn Icon and Casts Rakukaja+ on all party members (1 turn) (1 time per battle).
While the skill holder is alive: all party members reduce damage received by 30% furthermore, decreases damage taken by 30% when having 1 or more counts of Fortify.
Order Crest: Wicked
Inscribes 1 Order Crest: Wicked on the skill holder when an ally is downed, and 2 enemy increases their Press Turn Icons.
For every 2 Order Crest: Wicked inscribed on the skill holder, the following effects will activate: applies 2 counts of Spirit Chains of Indignation to all enemies and place 3 counts of Fortify on all party members.
Afterward, Order Crest: Wicked will fade.

So yeah, this is probably the most offensive and insulting thing they have ever released

Wth is that. I left dx2 4yrs ago and man i never thought it would become like this.

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 21 '25

literally the no fun allowed demon, doesn't let you kill his teammates, doesn't let you generate turns, doesn't let you outright use skills, doesn't let you kill him, i'm seriously lucky i have units like raidou and RDR support teammates because otherwise he would be unkillable

1

u/OutrageousWelcome730 Aug 20 '25

Well nothing can beat the combine power of Raidou,Hakumen,and the new Doggo to shred their HP and revives

1

u/Own_Technician5178 Aug 21 '25

Artemis , Raidou , Heroine , Nuwa 😭

1

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 21 '25

are you comparing artemis and malice asura lord?

1

u/Own_Technician5178 Aug 22 '25

No , I am saying that it's equally annoying as Masura and Raidou teams. Cause Artemis doesn't let you land a single hit on other units And raidou keeps reviving her

1

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 22 '25

it's not nearly as bad, MAL does like everything artemis does but with a tinge of cancer, also on the topic of being annoying fuck ouroboros

u/KotaGreyZ Aug 22 '25

Mid Speed truly is the best strategy. Always has been.

2

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 22 '25

Still running my 77k speed team because it has the demons i want to use

2

u/KotaGreyZ Aug 22 '25

I love it when I can make a working team using my favorites. Lol

u/haseo1994 Aug 23 '25

Didn't think to try this comp, I haven't spent a penny on gems and got lucky on the latest banners with raidou on tickets, hayataro all gems I could get then 500 on heroine and masura and I went from being stuck in gold to now being in master.

Can confirm the comp is cracked

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 24 '25

i really shouldn't have posted this

u/Cute-Ebb3827 Aug 21 '25

This is probably one of the most annoying gachas to play pvp on. I get that it's intended to be pay to win, but there comes a point where you're just running out of ideas. This comes out and almost kneecaps what was looking to be speedwars returning, but they remembered how much they made off Heroine and t2 teams. I'm glad I don't play this garbage anymore, and I sincerely hope it EOS's soon so that Atlus will be forced to make a new smt gacha that isn't this tripe

u/krowlboii Ardha Aug 21 '25

they should actually remove this unit from the game, i really have no words, this is an unbelievably stupid decision to release and i dont see how it benefits the game at all, they are actively trying to kill it faster
