In Shin Megami Tensei V and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, God's Bow deals weak Light damage to one enemy, and has a chance to instantly kill regardless of whether the target is weak to Light.
In Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation Dx2, God's Bow deals Light damage to a single enemy and has a 50% chance of inflicting Mortal. If White Rider has all four Panels completed, it activates a Chain Effect that also deals Light damage with 50% chance of Mortal to one enemy.
