Dealing with Ash Aragami Devour Attacks in God Eater 3.

Devour Attacks are unblockable unless you Perfect Guard and you cannot interrupt them by using traps or stun grenades. You also cannot break any Aragami parts during their devour attack so you're forced to deal with these attacks in some way and they can be a bit a troublesome if you don't know how.


This video has a lot of information so it'll be jarring on the first watch so I want you to watch it multiple times until you understand how to deal with every devour in a way that's comfortable for you. Look carefully at exactly what I do in every clip and practice it for yourself.

Since dealing with devours is ultimately something you're gonna have to practice for yourself, I really cannot give any more advice to you beyond what I said in this video. I can't tell you how to get better with timing Just Guards; you just have to dedicate yourself to practicing it.

The first way to deal with a devour is to recognize what it looks like when it starts. Get a mental image of all the Aragami's poses when they start their devour attack or do whatever you need to to understand how the attack looks on startup and get ready to do something about it.

Since the Devour Attack is an Enraged Mode Only attack, Ash Aragami usually go directly into their Devour attack as soon as they get enraged. Use this to know when you need to be wary of it.

If you're playing in a team, look at who the Aragami faces when it starts the attack. That will be the target player and the main person who needs to deal with the devour attack.

Its also a misconception that you NEED a Buckler to Perfect Guard devours. It can be done with all shields consistently as long as you know the timing it takes to put up your shield. All of these devour attacks function in a way where there's a clear startup of the attack and nothing hits you for a good while until the devour attack actually comes out. This means that you can relax and time you block properly no matter what shield type you have.

The only thing is that its easier to time a Perfect Guard with a Buckler because its faster.

I highly recommend learning the Dive timing for Perfect Guards if you either switch shields a lot, or you use a Tower and aren't comfortable with Perfect Guarding. The Dive timing is the same across all shields unless you use a certain Burst Plugin.



For Balmung, I forgot to add that the tactic where you run along the lines works best in narrow spaces only if you make him face a wall when he starts his devour. You can do this by putting your back to a wall with him in front of you when you suspect he is going to start his devour.

Also, the Dromi's Circle Running method is very tricky and sometimes he activates his power steering right out of the gate depending on where you're standing. This method really isn't recommended but its worth knowing about so be ultra careful when you use it.

That's all.



Oof, I actually had three times the amount of stuff recorded and cut so much during editing.
Like, I had making Nuadha whiff the first part of his Devour and then when he starts the second part, you Dive into it. I had a lot of that kind of redundant stuff and it would have made the video longer than it needed to be. So I cut a lot out and only kept the easiest and most reliable methods.

The point I'm making is that there's a lot of things you can do to when you're dealing with devours and I really encourage everyone to find their own ways of doing so.
