Megidolaon SMT5

Ongyo-Ki casting Megidolaon in Shin Megami Tensei V

Almighty Icon IS Almighty (万能, ban'nō)? skills carry a special, non-elemental property and are usually not hindered by defenses such as repel or drain, barring a few exceptions like that of innate Almighty resistance from certain bosses (Noah and Lucifer in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne), along with the Passive skill Anti-Almighty in Devil Survivor 2. Almighty skills are generally magical, but can also be physical.

In the Persona 2 duology, the Almighty type is more generic, lacking the distinctive quality it carries in other entries. There, each combatant can be weak or resistant to Almighty as if it were any other type, and it determines one's resistance to most ailments. The attack type that works in a similar way to Almighty in other installments is simply called "Non-elemental" (無視, mushi), and is primarily composed of instant-kill and boss-only skills.

All-Out Attacks in Persona 3 and after are considered Almighty.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Exclusive[]

Parenthesized numbers are power levels used by the game for damage calculation. For comparison, Megido is 200, Megidola 300, Megidolaon 400, -dyne spells are 200, and Ma-dyne spells are 160. Also, all skills in Strange Journey are MP skills (no skills cost HP).

Name Power Cost Target
Moan Bullet Medium (150) 45 Random Enemies (1-3 hits)
Freischutz Heavy (200) 50 All Enemies
Riot Gun Copy Severe (200) 80 One Enemy
Babylon Goblet Heavy (300), 25% chance of inflicting Charm 65 All enemies
Mel Faize Heavy. Mastema (boss) only NA Entire Party
Sinner's Song Heavy. Chance of charm. Zelenin (Judge) Only. NA Entire Party
Great Flood Heavy. Lowers Agility. Mem Aleph Only. NA Entire Party

Moan Bullet is a skill on the guns Ebony Tear, Meteor Dragoon, and Peacemaker. Freischutz is a skill on the gun Meteor Dragoon. Riot Gun Copy is a skill on the gun Megido Fire. Due to the way damage from gun skills is calculated (factoring in the gun's normal attack power), these skills often do more damage than demon skills.

Desperate Hit's rating of Medium is misleading and that the official rating of 100 power is likely inaccurate, as against bosses, three or more hits (300-500 power) does more damage than Jihad (500 power)

Strangely, Zelenin's attack Megiddo Storm does electric damage, not almighty, regardless of its name having the same origin as the Megido spell chain.
