Oh my fucking god

Truthfully I wasn’t gonna make this post and then I had the luckiest, most ass-clenching Mem Aleph clear

At ANY point she could’ve sent me straight to hell with an MA or if she got lucky and sent Thor back to the stock with Mem Aleph. Hell, even 3 of her elemental attacks or 2 Great Floods back to back would’ve ended the attempt after hours of prep. Thankfully, she kept hitting into Thor’s Fire and Elec Drain, and I was able to get enough damage in throughout the fight so Thor could finish her off.

Good grief. What a fucking boss fight. Imagine if I had to fight this thing in the original game…

Because this applies to multiple games, this was flagged as a spoiler to all, but specifically has spoilers for SMT I, II, and Strange Journey.

So…what are the intricacies of humans fusing with demons? We all know all non-main character personas and demons have a limited learnset, and an exponential increase in EXP needed to level up in the latter’s case. Yet, a Jiminez fused with Bugaboo gets him like 40 levels if him being level 30 in the cutscene was correct, and extremely powerful and unique moves. The Law Hero in SMT II fusing with Seth(iirc) to become Satan also makes him incredibly strong and capable of doing things Seth couldn’t gameplay wise. Even the Chaos Hero gains 10 levels when he becomes a demon and is still strong enough to oppose you on “equal” footing in the Law and Neutral routes. So, does fusing with a demon make you stronger than most while also allowing you to grow as a human? Were they blessed by the narrative?
And another thing. Jimenez and the Chaos Hero both canonically fuse with Chaos-aligned demons. What happens if you fuse with a Law aligned demon while Chaos aligned? Fuse with a Neutral demon as either Law or Chaos? Is fusing with a demon an inherently Chaotic choice?

Please discuss in the comments, because after playing Strange Journey Redux, I can’t stop thinking about it.

I honest to god couldn’t tell you why, but I love doing stupid ass Nyx builds. I think they’re extremely funny(the Malig Knight one is unfinished, and the Swordmaster one is in Rev). If you told me first going into Fates that I would soon be head over heels over this lady, I’d think you’re batshit insane.

But here we are. Working on the third Nyx build. Undoubtedly more to come in the future. God help me. The things I do to live, laugh and love.
