How to Defeat Nuwa in Shin Megami Tensei V

Shin Megami Tensei V features many iconic enemies that will try to get in your way multiple times during your adventures in Da’at, but none is as instantly recognizable as Nuwa.

Nuwa is fought multiple times during the game, and it’s clear right from the very first battle against her in the Tokyo Diet Building that she is a remarkable demon. Here’s how to defeat her with ease.

How to Defeat Nuwa in Shin Megami Tensei V

Nuwa is fought for the first time, as mentioned above, in the Tokyo Diet Building, which makes her the final boss for the Minato ward. She has a lot of HP and can hit very hard, but she is not as difficult as she may seem at first glance with the proper strategy.

The powerful demon is weak against Fire, so you should bring as many demons as possible that can use Agi skills to deal tons of damage and get some extra turns. She uses mostly Force attacks, so demons that can resist this element will give you an edge. If you have a Sudama’s Essence, fuse its affinities to the Nahobino to resist Force attacks, and prevent your main character from getting defeated in battle, which would result in an instant Game Over. If you have some Force Dampeners, use them as well when needed.

While not attacking Nuwa with Fire attacks, make sure to heal any party members that require it, and apply buffs and debuffs if you can. Once you deplete Nuwa’s HP to around half the total value, the battle will end.
