Rakukaja (ラクカジャ*)? / (ラク・カジャ*)? is a support skill.
Effect[]
In the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, Rakukaja raises the defense of the caster's team by one stage and lasts until either the battle ends, the buffed ally is killed, or the buff is negated by a buff removal skill such as Dekaja.
In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the buff is permanent and can stack up to 4 ranks. The defense buff and the defense debuff (Rakunda) are separate variables, so although they stack with one-another and can neutralize each-other's effects, they still can only be used 4 times each unless one of the stats is reset with Dekunda or Dekaja.
In Shin Megami Tensei IV, Rakukaja increases the allying party's defense by 1 rank, and stacks up to 3 ranks. Each rank increases the user's defense by 20%, with the maximum reaching 60%. It stacks multiplicatively with other buffs, Tarunda included. (1.6*1.6=2.56)[1] The buff and debuff statuses are singular, rather than individual, so if the target's defense is decreased by 1 or more stages, Rakukaja will directly increase it without the need of Dekaja.
In Shin Megami Tensei V, Rakukaja only affects one party member for 3 turns. Buffing again will have it stack to 2 ranks max, and buffing each time resets the timer of the buff. On the first rank, the damage is reduced by x0.8, while on the second rank, it's x0.7.[2]
In Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, Rakukaja raises the party's defense by 20%. The effect lasts for 3 turns.
In Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, Rakukaja raises all allies' defense for the duration of the battle.
In Soul Hackers 2, Rakukaja raises the defense of the party. The effect doesn't stack in ranks, and normally lasts 3 turns, but it can be extended to 4 or 5 with Mistiques.[3] Casting the skill again will replenish the timer.
In the Persona series, Rakukaja raises 1 ally's defense.
In Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5, Rakukaja lasts for 3 turns.
In Persona 3 and Persona 4, the damage is reduced by approximately 2/3 (The formula is 1/(1+0.5), where 0.5 is the multiplier for attack boosts, hence countering Tarukaja directly). If stacked with Tarunda on the user's attacker, the attack power is halved (1/(1+0.5+0.5)).
In Persona 5, the damage reduction of Rakukaja is most likely 7/10. It most likely stacks multiplicatively with Tarunda, granting a result of 49/100. Casting the same skill again will extend the timer by 3 additional turns, up to a maximum of 15. The user's timer goes down on the turn they have cast the buff on themselves. Rakunda directly cancels out the user's defense buff, regardless of the remaining duration.
In Persona 5 Strikers, Rakukaja lasts for a certain period of time. Under default circumstances, it lasts 50 seconds.
In Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, Rakukaja increases the Defense of the party by about x1.5 for 3 rounds. Casting it while the buff is already active will refresh the timer.
