Taunt being cast in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Taunt (挑発, Chōhatsu)? is commonly a Support Skill, but may also be an Ailment skill.
Effect[]
 |
This topic is in need of research for the following reasons: * How does the skill affect target rates? What are the multipliers? * What happens when two users use Taunt simultaneously in Devil Survivor? * In SMT5, when 2 enemies have their target rate boosted, is the boosted target rate evenly divided among them, and do they boost the rates of protecting other units from being targeted? * In SMT5, how does Taunt work when used by enemies? This can be discussed on the article's talk page. |
Generally, Taunt raises the foes' attack power by two levels, and decreases their defense by two levels.
In Shin Megami Tensei V, the user makes it very likely to be targeted by enemies when they're casting single-target attacks for 3 turns. Taunt even works against enemies that have their targets scripted in advance, such as with Abdiel, who will always target the protagonist. The Taunt effect does not influence Counter skills.
In Devil Survivor, enemies will target the user that has used the skill, but he will receive less damage.
In Persona 5, Taunt is an Ailment skill. It has a high chance of inflicting the Rage ailment to 1 target.
