This downloadable content (DLC) for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance offers a focused enhancement to the core experience, specifically targeting the progression of your demon companions and protagonist. Released in 2024, it is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. This content is not a standalone experience; it requires the base Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance game to be played.

Enhancing Your Journey

The "Mitama Dance of EXP" DLC is designed to streamline and accelerate the process of leveling up your demons and the protagonist. It directly impacts the encounter rates of specific demon types, known as Mitama. These particular demons are the primary source for valuable items that grant experience points (EXP).

What does this DLC add to the game?

The primary addition of this DLC is an increased spawn rate for two types of Mitama:

Kushi Mitama: These demons drop items that directly benefit the protagonist's EXP gain, allowing for faster leveling of the main character.
Ara Mitama: These demons drop items that provide EXP to your allied demons, aiding in the growth and strengthening of your demon roster.

While the base game already has a low chance of Mitama appearing, this DLC significantly boosts the frequency of these encounters, making the EXP acquisition process more efficient. It's important to note that this content does not introduce new story elements, characters, or distinct levels. Its focus is purely on the gameplay mechanics related to character progression.

Gameplay Integration and Scope

This DLC seamlessly integrates into the existing gameplay of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. It does not function as a separate mode or require players to start a new game. The increased spawn rates are active from the moment the DLC is installed and can be toggled on or off mid-game via the options menu, offering flexibility to the player.

In terms of scope, this DLC is a brief but impactful enhancement. It does not add substantial new content in the vein of a full expansion but rather refines an existing system to be more accessible and rewarding for players who wish to expedite their character and demon development. The quality of the added functionality aligns with the core gameplay experience of the parent title.

How can I speed up leveling in the game?

The "Mitama Dance of EXP" DLC directly addresses this by increasing the likelihood of encountering Mitama demons, which are the source of EXP-boosting items. By encountering these demons more frequently, players can significantly accelerate the leveling process for both their protagonist and their demon allies.

Can I turn off the DLC's effects?

Yes, the spawn rate modifications introduced by this DLC can be reverted to their original settings at any time through the in-game options menu. This allows players to choose when and if they want to benefit from the increased Mitama spawn rates.
