Every Navigator in Shin Megami Tensei V (SMT V) Listed

There are a total of 16 different Demon Navigators in Vengeance, almost the triple amount from the original. Some of them are obtained naturally during the main campaign, while others require a small detour. Each Navigator has a different specialty and can help you in different ways.

There are plenty of Mitama enemies on the way, too.

You can swap navigators at any point in Shin Megami Tensei V with no downsides, so keep cycling through them and see which one fits you the best. Some are better for the early game as they get you more money and items while others can help you find more stat-increasing items, making them ideal for crafting those late-game builds.

SMT V Vengeance is available now.
