Overview

This is an alphabetical list of terms used in Dx2 or the community with a brief explanation.

Glossary

  • Anti Pierce: A team consisting of either Alilat or Rama and corresponding demons that utilize Repel Pierce or Drain Pierce, respectively. Used to counter Pierce on the enemy team.
  • AoE: Area of Effect ; A Skill that does Damage to multiple or all enemies.
  • BoS: Brand of Sin ; often also used as "BoS10" or "BoS11", indicating the stage.
  • Fusion: merging (fusing) two or more demons to create a new one. It's one of the most iconic features of Megami Tensei. In Dx2, it becomes less important over time, as gacha demons have, usually, a lot more powerful skills.
  • Gacha: 1. summoned demons (as opposed of fused demons), usually of colored Archetypes; 2. the act of summoning demons, trying to get that very needed, very desired one that will be the best for your almost perfect party, at least until SEGA/Atlus introduces another one that thoroughly nullifies its skills two weeks later... Gatcha!
  • Megami Tensei: the short version of the original Japanese game's name, デジタル・デビル物語 女神転生 (DIGITAL DEVIL Monogatari Megami Tensei = Digital Devil Story Goddess Reincarnation), released in 1986/1987, also known as DDS. (Often abbreviated to: Megaten)
