Root of Evil being used in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

Root of Evil (初めに闇ありき, Hajime ni Anariki)? is a special skill. It is one of Lucifer's unique skills.

Effect[]

In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax Chronicle, Root of Evil removes all buffs from all foes. It also applies any of the following random effects to them as well:

  • Reduces HP by half (40% chance)
  • Reduces HP by 75% (20% chance)
  • Reduces HP by 90% (10% chance)
  • Inflicts Mute (10% chance)
  • Inflicts Stun (10% chance)
  • Inflicts Poison (10% chance)

In Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, the skill is exclusive to Devil Lucifer. Unlike its Nocturne incarnation, it does not inflict random effects, but instead deals severe Almighty damage with the sole effect of removing all Charge and Barrier effects from enemy targets.
