Recommended Tactics for Hell Biker in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance
Some of the recommended demons in SMT5 Vengeance to use against the Hell Biker boss fight are:
- Hua Po
- Jatayu
- Quetzalcoatl
- Mothman
- Forneus
- Nekomata
- Setanta
The last three are highly recommended for your starting roster since Nekomata and Setanta nullify wind and ensure that only the Nahobino and Forneus sustain damage during Hell Biker's first turn. To enable Forneus to begin spamming Ice Breath as soon as possible, include him in the starting roster.
Fire and Wind resistance
Demons resistant to Fire and Wind elements will significantly lower the damage you take and Hell Biker's turn rate. A demon with a strong Ice Elemental Potential is Forneus, who has Ice Breath as the natural opening move. It deals multiple hits to unidentified foes, but because Hell Biker is alone, all the hit points are concentrated on one opponent. Additionally, assigning Nahobino to Ice Skill will also help during this fight.
Confirm that your Magatsuhi gauge is already at its maximum. It is useful to have it maxed before a conflict to set up your offensive. Additionally, at the beginning of your party's turn, possessing the Miracle skill Magatsuhi Wellspring will restore your party's MP and HP.
Fighting the Hell Biker in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance
1) Focus on Debuffing
Attacks that apply debuffs will make a big difference in your team's safety. These moves not only give Hell Biker a temporary negative stat, but they also make him add Dekunda to his skill set. The Nahobino having fire resistance and your demons having wind resistance will help your team survive since most of Hell Biker's attacks are area-of-effect.
2) Keep a healer handy
Having AoE heals for teamwide damage and single target heals for one injured ally will maximize your SP count. Since Hua Po is immune to fire, she is the greatest healer to bring into this battle. Prioritize leveling her up so she may acquire Media skills, which are essential for team healing. But if Hell Biker employs Tentarafoo, Mothman is your main healer. Since removing that Confusion debuff within the team is essential, it can quickly become a losing factor.
3) Use of Fire Dampeners
A point to note is that Hell Biker in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance will always use Hell Burner as a follow-up to its Magatsuhi Charge. Your team will suffer greatly if attacked by a Heavy AoE fire strike that connects in a critical hit. Therefore, utilize Fire Dampeners to neutralize the damage and deny Hell Biker a turn.
It is strongly advised that if your demons are force-resistant, Nahobino should be resistant to fire. This is to minimize the damage that your party will take since Hell Biker in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance hits with Area-of-effect attacks.
