Attack Potency: Varies on the Demon Summoned (The COMP can store the data of and summon the likes of low level demons, who have access to Agi skills, which can vaporize humans, which gives these results. Along with access to Bufu skills, which can completely freeze opponents, giving these results. It can also store and summon deity level demons, which all powerful and god level demons sustain a colloidal conglomeration of countless mini-universes, each centered around a powerful demon that is sustained by said demon and destroyed upon their death.[1] It could also summon demons comparable to Morax, who created and rules over Sector Antila, a parallel universe contained within the Schwarzwelt, something that contains multiple overlapping dimensions, with Sector Antila being one of the variants of the different dimensions. It can even summon god level demons ranging from demons that can fight with the likes of Kagutsuchi, who created and sustains the Vortex world, which was resulted from him erasing the past, present and future of the universe, in order to construct the Vortex World in its foundations. Exists as the light that encompasses and administers all of creation within the Amala universe that is said to contain countless worlds along with being the source to creation with his defeat causing the destruction of the Amala universe. Merged the Demon World and the Divine World into the remnants of the human realm to create the Vortex World; the Demon World, best known as the Expanse, is a higher plane of existence that transcends past, present, and future. Along with even demons that can fight against YHVH, where YHVH's own universe is more vague and more infinite then anything Nanashi or Flynn have ever seen[2], where they've seen demons such as Ouroboros, who is the embodiment of infinity[3], making him an incomprehensibly powerful being. With even YHVH himself noting he is infinity[4], and he exists as an incomprehensible transcendent being overseeing everything in his creation. He is viewed as an omnipotent existence that created everything[5] . which would mean he created[6] infinite universes[7], and exists beyond the very boundaries of time within the multiverse[8]. Which would include planes such as Akarana Corridor a void that transcends time and space, with it requiring a special ritual to enter, where even the Herald of Yatagarasu cannot put Raidou into this place[9], putting it beyond even The Expanse a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse[10]. Viewed as so immeasurably powerful that the combined cast of SMT IV Apocalypse, needed to deny his divine nature and form understandings repeatedly through the use of observation in order to defeat him)
Durability: Unknown: True level (COMPS are normally equipped across the persons body and rarely break from demon attacks)
Range: Multiversal+ (COMPS can summon demons from The Expanse, a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse)

Weaknesses: COMPs can have malfunctions when trying to translate unknown types translating only their raw data. There can exist zones that mess with a COMPs frequency making it unable to operate.

From what I've just seen, there's no mistake that a magnetic field suitable for summoning a demon was set up. It may be that the reason no demon appeared was that it might have arrived in the Assiah world via a different magnetic field."
"There’re still some details about the mechanism for demon summoning that I don't really understand yet."
"Unusual words, coming from the genius that was the first to successfully summon a demon via a computer." Feed grinned broadly, but his expression soon turned grave as he looked directly at Nakajima.
"The last demon to appear called himself Set, correct?"
"Yes, that's right."
"While it's too dangerous to try and conjecture the state of affairs in the demon world based on our own knowledge of this one, my theory is that the demon world is like a colloidal conglomeration of countless mini-universes, each centered around a powerful demon. Most likely, with Loki's death, the mini-universe in contact with Japan or Tokyo vanished, and Set's mini-universe entered to take its place. Demon summoning is just opening a contact point between the two worlds at the same time."
"So what would happen if two contact points were opened at the same time?"
"The demon would decide where it wanted to appear. However, there are some examples in medieval records of demon summonings that report that when the difference in strength of the two magnetic fields was great enough, the demon would be pulled to the stronger field, regardless of which it wanted to go to..." - ↑ Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse: YHVH's Universe Entrance

He is the omnipotent existence that created heaven and earth and made man in his own image, but this also means that together with the angels, his bunrei [subparts], he also gave birth to demons. By giving humans bodies of flesh and bone, their lives and fears were repeated in the endless cycle of death and rebirth, restricting their range of observation.

- ↑ The Herald of Yatagarsu is capable of teleporting Raidou into The Expanse, a place that transcends the past, present, and future of the multiverse but cannot even reach this realm, along with this she exists a plane not apart of the human world, further showing how out of reach this plane is, it requires one normally to discard their human form and transcribe themselves otherwise they are threatened with being unstuck from time
