Did you fight the fiends in SMT4 or SMT4:A?

[Marc]

They are a rare spawn rate from what I've heard and I met one by luck in my law playthrough of Shin Megami Tensei IV. Long story short, even though I was extremely powerful, Trumpeter completely obliterated my team.

In Apocalypse, they can be found in Twisted Tokyo (which makes it a lot easier to find them). I managed to take them all out in that game though but they weren't easy to defeat, I must admit.

How did you guys do against the fiends if you found them in one of your playthroughs?

It is the first time I ever heard of this feature.
I may replay Shin Megami Tensei IV just to reach the neutral route post-content and try to find these.

It is crazy I wasn't able to find one, and my save includes the four different endings!

It's not surprising because of the rare spawn rate and it isn't limited to only the neutral route

The first time I found Trumpeter in SMT4, he took my team out and I tried going to the same spot over and over again but never found him (I doubt I would have been able to defeat him though).

There must be a trick to find them, even if that needs buying the DLC to have the luck stat at maximum

I would try to find them an fight them cause they are good for exp. Plus I try to level up my summons to evolve the ones that have them. I find it nice that there are some rare things to find in the games cause it makes the game a bit more fun. I'm pretty sure there are a lot more rare things to find the more you go back and play the games but they are built for reputability witch is really nice.
