==Overview==
==Overview==
In the ''Devil Survivor'' games, the player controls four teams consisting of one leader and up to two members. A team cannot be deployed in battle if it does not have a leader. The leader takes reduced damage as long as there is at least one other team member alive; however, if the leader is killed then the entire team is defeated. If all deployed teams are defeated it will lead to a game over.

If all deployed teams are defeated then the game is over.


Once per turn, the leader can return a member to the [[COMP]] or summon one from stock.
Once per turn, the leader can summon a demon in the stock to an empty space in their team.


The Protagonist is always the leader of the first team, but the availability of other leaders is based on different circumstances—such as if a specific event has been seen or depending on which route the player is on.

Unlike member demons, leaders do not gain skills through level-up or auction ranks. Instead, a leader's skills are fully customizable and are Set from the list of Cracked Skills. Some skills can only be used by a leader, such as the auto skills and [[Leader Soul]]. Other skills cannot be used by leaders and are instead restricted to member demons, that being the [[Knight Soul]] series of skills—where the member takes a lethal hit for the leader—and racial skills. For Skill Cracking, the chosen skill is assigned to the team's leader, although any member of the team can defeat the foe to crack it.

Each leader has a set Movement value which determines how far they can travel on the map. This value can be changed by the active or passive racial skills of the team members.

{{Research|section=1|reason=Need to test whether HP/MP calculations work the same as in DeSu1.}}
Unlike ''Devil Survivor'' and ''Devil Survivor: Overclocked'', where all leaders base level was 1, the leaders in ''Devil Survivor 2'' have varying base levels. The growth values are still an indication of the amount of stat points gained during a set of 16 levels, but this change means that each leader has their own set of level ranges, starting from the level after their base one.
