Tarunda being used in Persona 5.
Tarunda (タルンダ*)? is a Support skill.
Effect[]
In the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, Tarunda typically decreases the physical attack power of all enemies by one stage and lasts until either the battle ends, an enemy is killed, or removed by a debuff removal skill such as Dekunda.
In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and in both Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, Tarunda lowers both physical attack power and magic power due to the debuff skill Makanda not existing in those games.
In Shin Megami Tensei IV, Tarunda lowers the enemy faction's attack power by 1 rank, and stacks up to 3 ranks. Each rank lowers the user's attack power by 20%, with the minimum reaching 60%. It stacks multiplicatively with other buffs, Rakukaja included. (1.6*1.6=2.56)
In Shin Megami Tensei V, Tarunda is single-target, and lowers their Attack power (Physical and Magical) by 1 rank for 3 turns. The debuff can stack in 2 ranks, and debuffing each time resets the timer of the debuff. On the first rank, the damage is reduced by 4/5, while on the second rank, it's 7/10. Rakukaja and Tarunda stack via multiplication.
In Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, Tarunda lowers the enemy faction's attack power by 20%. The effect lasts for 3 turns.
In the Persona series, Tarunda decreases one target's attack power.
In Persona 4 and Persona 5, Tarunda lasts for three turns.
In Persona 3 and Persona 4, the attack power of affected enemies is decreased by 2/3 (The formula is 1/(1+0.5), where 0.5 is the multiplier for attack boosts, hence countering Rakunda directly). If stacked with Rakukaja on the attacker of the user, the attack power is halved (1/(1+0.5+0.5)).
In Persona 5 Strikers, Tarunda lasts for a certain period of time. Under default circumstances, it lasts 50 seconds.
