Before you face off against Eisheth in SMT V: Vengeance, it’s crucial to prepare your party. She will be at Level 28, so ensure your team is at this ranking first. I always like using Auto Battle to make the grind feel less tedious.

Eisheth is weak to Force attacks and is resistant to Dark and Fire strikes. Equipping skills like Zan and Mazan can significantly damage her. Use the World of Shadows’ Essence Fusion to obtain these talents from the demons, giving you a confident edge in the battle.

Thanks to its powerful Wind Breath ability, I found the ally, Feng Huang, beneficial. At this point in the story, you should also have Tao Isonokami as a temporary ally, which should definitely work in your favor. Plus, those who selected the new Vengeance path can rely on the robust powers of Yoko Hiromine.

The best approach to Eisheth is to go guns blazing from the start. You’ll need to get rid of her quickly to avoid her deadly Voracious Salvation attack. This strike can take an ally’s HP and kill them off in one measly turn. It will also transfer that HP over to Eisheth, healing her as an end result. That’s why it’s important to take her down quickly to avoid this entirely.

If you’re Magatsuhi is at its max at the beginning of the fight, I recommend getting those Critical attacks up as soon as possible. Skills like the Omagatoki: Critical work well with this, boosting your attack damage.

Although Force is the most potent attack against Eisheth, other skills, including Ice, Light, and Electric, can still prove helpful. Just be sure to use something other than Dark and Fire since it will only do slight damage. In addition to Eisheth’s Voracious Salvation, she can inflict Confusion and Poisoned affinities. Use sodas or initiate a Healing technique to remove it.

As long as you keep attacking her in full force, you can defeat Eisheth at a fast rate in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. You’ll be fighting more of these Qadištu members again throughout the journey, so make sure to keep grinding and recruit powerful Demons to your team.
