What if you try to do this but the skill you are trying to transfer isn't possessed by the demon that you are trying to transfer to, is that possible?

Yes that's the normal way of transferring that adds a new skill to one of the demon's empty slots. You get that when you finish chapter 3.

My current team is Red Azrael, Red Zhong Kui and the bonus Cerberus and Pixie you get at the start.

I managed to awaken them all and evolve my Azrael to 5 stars.

They are just kind of OK. They are 4 stars, and thus will feel really strong early. Later on, they will probably start feeling like they are underperforming.

Here are my recommendations:

Use Qing Long (magic attacker), your red King Frost (magic attacker), and your Ongyo-ki (physic attacker) for your main party. For the 4th slot, fuse your Jikokuten with a common Orthus to get a Yellow Slepinir, and then fuse that yellow Slepinir with a common Hathor in order to get a yellow Sandalphon, which should serve well as a healer/support for a long while. You might not have the magnetite for this right now, though.

You're amazing, thanks. Unfortunately I'm not high enough level to fuse to Slepinir I don't think - some of my dudes are 30 because I bought one of the levelling boxes. Oh well, I have a game plan now!

I was bored at work, so I did some math to see what you can expect to get from 10 summons (and perhaps discourage whaling aside from the fact that it seems unnecessary in this game)

10 Nat 3's: 56.80%
9 Nat 3's, 1 Nat 4: 30.05%
8 Nat 3's, 2 Nat 4's: 7.15%
9 Nat 3's, 1 Nat 5: 3.01%
7 Nat 3's, 3 Nat 4's: 1.01%
8 Nat 3's, 1 Nat 4, 1 Nat 5: 0.72%
7 Nat 3's, 2 Nat 4's, 1 Nat 5: 0.30%
6 Nat 3's, 4 Nat 4's: 0.09%
8 Nat 3's, 2 Nat 5's: 0.07% (lol, yeah right)
Every Other Possibility Combined: 0.80% (In other words, if you bought 125 packs that each had 10 summons, one of those packs would be expected to produce a result not described above)

edit: 10 Nat 5's: 1 in 102.4 Sextillion

What skill would be useful to put on Setanta. Yeah I know he's not going to useful long term, but I've managed to get 6 skill points for him from avenging people in the Aura Gate and I want to use them. Some low level type coverage elemental attack, or Recarm for reviving dead demons in the Aura Gate?

Elemental coverage is not very useful when Setanta's mag stat is so weak. Probably some buffs/debuffs which would keep him useful despite his mediocrity. Tarukaja from Archangel and Rakunda from Shadow are excellent skills.

Motto posted:

I suspect you'll be able to clear the place out either way since its here for a whole month, but the superior summoning files are highest priority. But really, its all useful except maybe the regular summoning files.


All my summons up until this point had been trash, so when I did 3 summons from the frogs and got this it was pretty surprising. :eyepop:

The odds of 2x identical 4* demons with the same archetype from superior summoning files must be incredibly small, so I'm inclined to believe it was a glitch in the system. :v:

Like others have said, you should be able to clear out the shop so long as you are regularly autoquesting a leveling mission when you aren't playing. If you don't do this, you should prioritize the 4* and 5* yata mirrors, as they essentially count as a 4 and 5 star demon to sacrifice when evolving. After that, go for the superior summoning tickets and the cheap stuff.

I'd recommend either a Samarecarm from Isis or an Endure from Horkos. Both are good skills from 3 star demons.

For now put them into the character's unique selling point imo.

So for your protag get the exp boosts, for Eileen get the extra item/macca farming, for Megakin get his demon talk stuff. The rest is nice bonuses.

I kind of love how some folks have been saying the writing is "trash tier" because so far it's... just as good and fun and goofy as any SMT title released on the 3DS or any recent Persona?

It's very much in the vein of the titles Atlus releases these days, at any rate.

Typically it means you are sacrificing a demon with Gacha skills, which you could alternative sacrifice to transfer those skills to another demon. Basically, there are warning for anytime you are sacrificing a demon that is anything more than some random thing you fused up.
