Demi-Fiend using Freikugel against Lucifer.
Freikugel (至高の魔弾, Shikou no Madan)? is a damage-dealing skill.
History[]
Made famous by the German opera Der Freischütz (The Freeshooter), the Freikugeln (singular Freikugel) were a set of magic bullets which never miss the shooter's target thanks to a deal with the devil. However, the devil would choose the final bullet's target.
Effect[]
In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Demi-fiend charges magical power in front of his face, before launching deadly beams from his eyes at a single enemy. It has the highest offensive power Demi-fiend can learn, and exerts unreasonable power when applying auxiliary magic. Because it is an Almighty-based physical skill, it is effective against all enemies and can be amplified by Focus.
Freikugel is exclusive to the Demi-fiend in the quest "Messiahs in the Diamond Realm" in Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse. It deals heavy Almighty damage to a single target, and is complemented further by the Demi-fiend's passive skills Pierce and Almighty Pleroma.
In Shin Megami Tensei V, Freikugel is no longer tied solely to the Demi-fiend, though it is part of his skillset during his boss fight as the final part of the Return of the True Demon DLC, with the skill animation from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne returning. It is a severe-tier Almighty skill that runs off of the caster's Strength stat and has a high chance of getting a critical off of one target.
In Soul Hackers 2, Freikugel is a heavy Gunfire attack that deals damage to 1 enemy, with a high Critical Rate.

Trivia[]
With Soul Hackers 2 as an exception, all installments after Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne feature a skill of the same name (至高の魔弾), which deals Gun-type (instead of Almighty-type) damage and is localized as Riot Gun. The localization of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse reintroduces "Freikugel" specifically for the Demi-fiend's unique skill which deals Almighty damage, to distinguish Riot Gun in the same game. This distinction via skill names is not present in the Japanese version of the game.
