This topic is in need of research for the following reasons: * Does Tetrakarn protect against specifically Physical or Strength-based attacks? e.g. Freikugel & the Dracostrike series in SMT5, which are Strength-based Magic attacks. * What happens to the attack when both the target and the user have Tetrakarn, or if the enemy repels the affinity of the attack? * How do Multi-hit skills interact with Tetrakarn? Does only the first hit get reflected, or do all of them do? This can be discussed on the article's talk page. |
In the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, Tetrakarn creates a barrier on all allies that lasts for a single turn, which protects them from physical attacks, subsequently reflects them back to the attacker, and costs the attacker all of their Turn Press icons in games that use the Press Turn system.
In the Persona series, Tetrakarn erects a barrier on 1 ally, which protects them from 1 physical attack, and subsequently reflects it back to the attacker.
