Agrat is the third Qadištu you face after Na’amah and Eisheth in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance. She is an exclusive encounter to the Canon of Vengeance story route, and you face her after you have reached the second area of Da’at Shinjuku.
The area unlocks only when you have beaten Yakumo and Nuwa in Jozoji Temple and the fight can be rather difficult because of the sheer amount of damage that Agrat puts her. Her Queen’s Decree is annoying to deal with, and without the right party set-up, she can wipe out your team in just one turn.
So if you are having trouble defeating the boss in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance, here is a guide that should help make the fight more manageable.

How to beat Agrat in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance
1) Keep a minimum of 3 Fire and Ice Dampeners
Agrat can deal a ton of damage with her elemental attacks once the encounter starts. She can keep extending her press turns with her passive, and once she gathers Magatsuhi, she can wipe out your entire party in just one turn. So it’s best to have Fire and Ice Dampeners on the team to deal with her Mabufudyne and Maragidyne.
There is not much that you can do when it comes to dealing with her Queen’s Decree. Almighty skills cannot be blocked, fortunately, she will not use it after activating Omagotki: Critical.
2) Have strong healers and buffers to deal with Queen’s Decree
Agrat will start her round off with a Queen’s Decree the damage it does can be devastating, and because of her passive, Agrat can get a lucky crit in to extend her press turn. You will need to have healers, bufers, and debuffers on the roster to deal with this.
You cannot block Alimghty attacks so you will have to take the hit and pray that she does not keep getting crits on the attack on the attack. Once it’s your turn make sure you heal up and apply buffs on your team while debuffing Agrat.
Agrat doesn’t have much HP and once you soften her up with some defense-down, she can be taken down within a few turns.
3) Have strong Elec demons
Agrat is weak to Elec skills so make sure you have demeans in your party with strong Elec attacks and good Elec affinity. Demons like Baihu and Nue will be able to deal consistent damage to her while helping you extend your press turns.
Best demons for beating Agrat in Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance
Best Support:
- Onyankopon
- Tao
- Yoko
- Kushinade-Hime
These are your standard support choices for the team, especially Onyankopon and Kushinade-Hime. If you go for the right fusion paths, you will be able to give them a lot of -kaja and -nda skills.
Alternatives will be Yoko and Tao. As you already have them on the team, you can bring them up to use their support skills. Yoko also has a strong Zio spell which makes her a nice DPS threat against Agrat.
Best Healers:
- Kushinade-Hime
- Tao
Kushinade-Hime and Tao will be the best healers for the fight. They both have Mediarama and you will be able to heal up your entire team after a Queen’s Decree.
Best Damage:
- Baihu
- Nue
- Nahobino
- Yoshitsune
Baihu and Nue will be amazing choices for Elec damage. If you are turning Nahobino into a mage, then they too will be able to exploit her weakness and keep extending the press turn.
For Phy DPS, Yoshitsune will be an incredible choice. Hassou Tobi can do a lot of damage once the buffs and debuffs are active and as the attack deals critical hits, you will be able to use it to extend your press turns.
Once you beat Agrat, you will be able to continue with the story in Atlus‘ RPG.
