- The final secret battle in DDS2! SATAN!
First attempt and LL won without a problem... meaning?
Hitoshura would make Satan cry if they fought each other.


[ Preparation ]
I read what Satan does so I figured out my own killing style to win, nothing else special or hard (unlike Hitoshura.. ugh). One important note is one person must NOT max Magic parameter!


[ Tactics ]
Satan has four phases and an universal pattern used throughout the battle. The universal pattern is that his parameter changes every time for four turns (then it repeats).

Turn #01 = All elements can be used
Turn #02 = Only Physical, Bullet, Force & Earth.
Turn #03 = Only Physical, Bullet, Fire & Earth
Turn #04 = Only Physical, Bullet, Fire & Ice.

Satan's attack list have every elements, Mamudoon, Hamamaon, Megidoloan & Vanity.
Dekunda is used if his debuff is maxed (so keep it at -2).

God's Breath is used every Turn #04 which instant kills (9999 damage). Only way to survive is to make sure one of your character is maxed buffed (+3 on all buffs) which he will use Dekaja instead. This means you must use "Charge" skill (+1 on all buffs to party) and be at maxed (+3) before Turn #04.

He has more skills mentioned below for the Phases.

He always starts with Futility which voids all "void, resist, reflect, absorb passive skills" for the whole battle. This is why I kept Seraph and Cielo as demons since they have no elemental weakness, while Argilla stays as human form.

( Phase I ~ 30,000 HP to 15,000 HP )
- Keep Void Death up
- Every Turn #04 uses God's Breath.

( Phase II ~ 15,000 HP to 7500 HP )
- Keep Void Death Up
- Keep Void Charm/Ailment up during Turn #04
- Every Turn #04 uses God's Breath.
- Every Turn #01 uses Temptation (100% charm rate)

( Phase III ~ 7500 HP to 1500 HP )
- Keep Void Death Up
- Keep Void Charm/Ailment up during Turn #04
- Every Turn #04 uses God's Breath.
- Every Turn #01 uses Temptation (100% charm rate)
- Every Turn #02 & #03 uses Retribution (instant kill whoever has lowest MAG parameter)

( Phase IV ~ 1500 HP to 0 HP )
- Under 1500 HP, Satan will full heal.
This Phase is repeatable, hence you must deal a full 1500+ damage before his next turn.
Impel Stone (gives 4 extra turns) is required for full damage.


- LL's main three keys:
01) Keep track of Satan's HP, Your Buff Charges Amount and the Turn #.
02) Keep Void Death or Charm up always!
03) Take your time, there is no time limit (unless it is Phase IV).


[ LL's Cast ]
- Seraph -
My main nuker, voider and healer since Seraph has no weakness. Turn Ring is used to give 4 press turns instead of default 3.

- Cielo -
Another with no weakness. My main charger for buffs. Also backup voider and healer when needed.
Synchro Ring is needed to save press turns since Charge is a combo skill. He is my main key at the end with Divine Light attack, since it will full debuff Satan plus able to deal double critical hit damage for a near instant 1500 damage.

- Argilla -
She stays in human form with the advantage to void Hamamaon and forcing Satan to lose all his turns (with Avoid Ring). She doesn't do much except to look pretty and support anything that is needed.

Both Cielo & Argilla are equipped with Critical & Min Critical skills to help boost their PHY attacks (Divine Light for Cielo, sniping for Argilla).


[ Other Notes ]
- First attempt, first win.. it just was a slow battle because I was keeping track of Satan's HP, turns and other stuff (as mentioned on my "Main Three Keys").
- Yes, I screwed up once and Temptation nearly screwed me up.
- Some luck is involved pretty much due to Mamudoon instant killing (if you have Void Charm up instead), Vanity (hope it doesn't panic or charm you) and him spamming Megidoloan.. still not as bad as Hitoshura.

- So the final question.. who is harder.. Hitoshura or Satan?

Hitoshura is insane harder hand's down. You need mad luck for EVERY action Hitoshura does in hopes you don't get slaughtered. With Satan, if you know his Turn Patterns and Phases, you can pretty much predict almost everything (just need a little luck against a few of his spells).
