Almighty Skills

Almighty skills carry a special, non-elemental property and are usually not hindered by defenses such as repel or drain, barring a few exceptions like that of innate Almighty resistance from certain bosses (Noah and Lucifer in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne), along with the Passive skill Anti-Almighty in Devil Survivor 2. Almighty skills are generally magical, but can also be physical.
In the Persona 2 duology, the Almighty type is more generic, lacking the distinctive quality it carries in other entries. There, each combatant can be weak or resistant to Almighty as if it were any other type, and it determines one's resistance to most ailments. The attack type that works in a similar way to Almighty in other installments is simply called "Non-elemental" (無視, mushi), and is primarily composed of instant-kill and boss-only skills.
All-Out Attacks in Persona 3 and after are considered Almighty.

===Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Exclusive===
Parenthesized numbers are power levels used by the game for damage calculation. For comparison, Megido is 200, Megidola 300, Megidolaon 400, -dyne spells are 200, and Ma-dyne spells are 160. Also, all skills in Strange Journey are MP skills (no skills cost HP).
Name 	Power 	Cost	Target
Moan Bullet 	Medium (150) 	45 	Random Enemies (1-3 hits)
Freischutz 	Heavy (200) 	50 	All Enemies
Riot Gun Copy 	Severe (200) 	80 	One Enemy
Babylon Goblet	Heavy (300), 25% chance of inflicting Charm 	65 	All enemies
Mel Faize 	Heavy. Mastema (boss) only 	NA 	Entire Party
Sinner's Song 	Heavy. Chance of charm. Zelenin (Judge) Only.	NA 	Entire Party
Great Flood 	Heavy. Lowers Agility. Mem Aleph Only. 	NA 	Entire Party
Moan Bullet is a skill on the guns Ebony Tear, Meteor Dragoon, and Peacemaker. Freischutz is a skill on the gun Meteor Dragoon. Riot Gun Copy is a skill on the gun Megido Fire. Due to the way damage from gun skills is calculated (factoring in the gun's normal attack power), these skills often do more damage than demon skills.
Desperate Hit's rating of Medium is misleading and that the official rating of 100 power is likely inaccurate, as against bosses, three or more hits (300-500 power) does more damage than Jihad (500 power)
Strangely, Zelenin's attack Megiddo Storm does electric damage, not almighty, regardless of its name having the same origin as the Megido spell chain.

==Trivia==
* In the Chinese and Korean versions of Persona 5, the icon for Almighty Skills has been altered, and the radiation on the symbol is twisted. This is due to the original Almighty Symbol resembling a , a symbol related to Japan's invasion during World War II, a sensitive topic in many other Asian countries. In the remaster for modern consoles this was also changed.
*While most demons across the series don't resist Almighty, there are some exceptions:
**Noah (in his second form), Lucifer in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Omoikane in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, enemy Kudan in Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha VS The Soulless Army, Mitamas in Shin Megami Tensei IV, and Shekinah (in her second form) all resist Almighty.
** Kohryu in Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner is immune to Almighty in his Shield Form.
** Durbhe is immune to Almighty in its first form (but this usually has no effect on gameplay except on New Game+).
**Polaris posesses the skill Anti-Almighty as long as her Guardian with the corresponding skill is alive.
**Spica Buds can potentially become immune to Almighty if one is killed by an Almighty skill.
**Baldur in Devil Survivor, and Arcturus are always immune to Almighty (as well as everything else, requiring a specific attack to be damaged).
