Samael (Death)
Samael Persona Overview
Samael boasts incredible versatility with powerful offensive and defense skills. Among its most powerful attacks is Megido (Almighty) which deals fixed damage regardless of the enemy’s elemental affinities. Samael can also use Mamudo and Mudoon to quickly wipe out single targets or entire enemy teams in a flash.
Outside of dealing damage, Samael is also a strong debuffer with its Masukunda skill which lowers the enemy team’s Hit and Evasion. Samael can also grant your own party immunity against stat debuffs using Dekunda, giving the Persona even more flexibility in battle.
