Holy Wrath, also known as Heaven's Vengeance, is a recurring magic skill in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Profile

In Shin Megami Tensei II, Shin Megami Tensei if..., Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner and Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, Holy Wrath inflicts fractional damage to all targets on the field that have a different Alignment on the Law-Chaos axis compared to the caster. In Shin Megami Tensei II, it is a Force skill that pierces resistances and halves its damage against allies; in the other games, it is an Almighty skill. In Devil Summoner and Soul Hackers, Neutral targets are unaffected. In Soul Hackers, Law and Extreme Law are considered the same, and so are Chaos and Extreme Chaos.

In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Holy Wrath is a Light skill that halves the target's current HP.

In Shin Megami Tensei IV, Holy Wrath is an Almighty skill that inflicts damage to all enemies, having higher power against Chaos enemies.

In Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, Holy Wrath is the Magatsuhi Skill of the Archangels, requiring the Exalted Seraphim Periapt. It is cast by Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel and Michael — one of which must initiate the skill, while the others may remain in the stock — inflicting piercing level-based Light damage to all enemies and lowering their attack and defense by 4 ranks for 3 turns.

In Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, Holy Wrath is an enemy-exclusive Almighty skill that inflicts damage and all Binds to one enemy.
