Hamaon being cast in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Hamaon (ハマオン*)? is a special Light skill.
Effect[]
Hamaon has a high chance of instantly killing one enemy. The skill instantly drops the opponent's HP to 0, by 40% chance, with resistances decreasing the odds and weaknesses increasing the odds.
Bosses are always unaffected by Hamaon's instant kill abilities, even if they are weak to status. The method this is done depends on game; if no damage-dealing Light or Dark skills are present, then the boss is naturally immune to Light and Dark. If said damage-dealing skills are present, then all instant kills are blocked by the boss even if it is weak to Light or Dark.
In Shin Megami Tensei V, Hamaon deals Light damage, and if it strikes a weakness, said target will have a chance to be instantly-killed. The base odds of instant-death likely do not differ between Hama and Hamaon.
In Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, Hamaon does heavy Light damage instead of instantly killing the enemy. If the user is affected by Smirk, it will instantly kill any non-boss enemy. It will only deal damage as usual against bosses.
In Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, Hamaon reduces the current HP of an enemy by two thirds but in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner 2, it reduces the current HP by four fifths. Should an enemy be weak to Expel, Hamaon will be guaranteed to remove the corresponding amount of that enemy's current HP. Human characters (both party members and enemies) are always immune to Hamaon, even in Berserk Mode.
In any game save for Megami Ibunroku Persona and the Persona 5 series of games, the skill is Light type.
In the Persona 5 series, including Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, the skill is Bless type.
