Essences exist for each demon and contain the demon's skills and affinity resistances. By fusing it with the protagonist, you will be able to change the protagonist’s skills or affinity resistances.​ Essences can also be fused with demons, and skills can be freely replaced, excluding unique skills. ​ Subquest Demons and characters in the field requests help in “Subquests”, which, if completed, will reward the user with various rewards. There are a wide variety of subquests, such as those where you "take control of a demon," as well as "timed quests" which must be completed within a certain number of moon phases. In addition to events that occur in Da'at, subquests may also occur in real Tokyo.
