Mechanics

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

Both versions of Megido Ark gain 110 base power per enemy in the opposing party, including the enemy being targeted. In practice, its minimum base power is 120 at one enemy, and its maximum power is 670 at six enemies.

Internally, skills have properties that dictate how they are affected by Skill Potential. Like most damaging skills, the player version of Megido Ark has properties that scale its damage, cost and Ailment rate (in the event that it is given an Ailment effect from another source). The enemy version of Megido Ark instead has three properties that scale its damage. As such, boss Satan's +9 Almighty Potential gives Megido Ark the damage bonus three times, for a total damage multiplier of 2.65.
