What is Safeguarding in RAIDOU Remastered?

RAIDOU Remastered introduces numerous interesting gameplay changes that enhance the game's experience beyond the original. One of these is the Safeguarding system, which was not in place back then. This new mechanic lets players manage their demons easier than ever before, especially since the combat has been overhauled to a fast-paced rendition.

Here's everything to know about what Safeguarding is and how it works in the latest PS2 remake from ATLUS. Read on to know more.

During combat, players will control Raidou in the battle arena as he engages in real-time action combat against enemy demons. His ally demons, meanwhile, are AI-controlled as they attack foes and support Raidou and other party members on their own. What they cannot do is avoid enemy attacks.

This is where Safeguarding comes in. This mechanic makes the allied demons immune to all incoming damage; however, it also makes them unable to fight back. Safeguarding is best used against huge AOE (area of effect) attacks unleashed by challenging bosses, which can cover the entire arena at times.

Here's how players can toggle Safeguard on and off:

• On PC: Press the H key on the keyboard
• On console: Press the Left Stick on the controller

Pressing the button again after Safeguarding will let demons act freely again. Players can use this mechanic on the fly as many times as required with no cooldowns associated with Safeguarding.

We recommend using this tool only when the bigger attacks occur, since demons can get away with a few bruises, especially if players have healing spells or items equipped. That said, some level of micromanagement is still needed as players must also simultaneously control Raidou as he fights off hordes of enemy demons.
