I always used Kanji for that fight. Plan out what turn you're going to destroy the barrier on, then skip the AOA and hit him with a Power Charged Cruel Attack.

Obtuse.....even hokey.
Use both for that fight. Yukiko's the best damage dealer in that fight aside from the MC and Teddie has Mediarama and Energy shower which Yukiko doesn't have.

You probably got some magatamas in chests on the way to that boss too. Use them. 150 points of damage to the boss just for an item? Awesome.

Raaarrgh. In the Adachi dungeon, there's a condition where you have to get through one floor without fighting any shadows. Okay, fine. But I opened up a chest and there was a shadow in it and I got kicked out! Arg!

Hooray I won. Grinding black frost up a level for the next level fire attack made all the difference in the world. It still got a little hairy towards the end but I had enough soul snuffs and revial beads it wasn't a problem.

Nothing is worse than chasing a Golden Hand down a corridor with a chest, and inadvertently opening the chest and encountering a shadow while the Golden Hand lies sprawled out on the ground.

I fought Margaret with small damage received/great damage dealt and retry battles turned on with no problems. I'm guessing setting the difficulty to Very Easy won't lock you out of anything.

Awww yeah Yoshitsune. I got particular satisfaction from beefing up his Null/Repel defenses this time around for everything except for Ice; it's a lot easier to bounce skills around now after all. Somehow got Arms Master too. Can't wait to meet the reaper again.

I never got Hassou Tobi in original P4, the Emperor cards make it so much easier in this one and it's stupid how good that is. He has Power Charge, auto-mataru, Arms Master, Hassou Tobi and even phys resist guys die in a hit.

Yes, and it's non-inheritable, but you can get the skill card from Magatsu-Izanagi.

Couple of reasons:

Heat Riser buffs every stat
If you fuse him on a certain day he gets Debilitate which debuffs every stat
He gets an amazing physical skill at level 83, hits every enemy for lots of damage
Really good immunities and resists

On top of that you can see his fusion from early on so it's really hard to miss him.

Currently level 14, with the needed Personas. Now I just wish I wouldn't occasionally get one shot by Double Fang... :sigh:

Absolutely loving the new content so far. And from what I hear I haven't even begun to see new content comparatively.

This tip might be too late since you've already fused up your dudes and probably don't want to do it again, but for that fight, I leveled up a Slime until it learned Resist Physical and stuck it on a Senri with Red Wall. That way as long as you've got your HP up pretty full, you never have to worry about the MC getting one-shotted, and with Red Wall you can keep Chie from handing the boss extra turns.

December 24th. Allegedly doing this, sadly, costs you the going out with your girlfriend for Christmas scene.

But I remember the fella who told me. Big lad. Arms as thick as oak trees, a stunning collection of scars, nice eye patch. A REAL therapist he was. Er wait. Maybe it was rapist?


I didn't get a girlfriend christmas scene. I finished the last dungeon on the 21st, I think. Could that be why?

I just got the new? nanako christmas scene.

In other news, I just started playing P3 FES and the lack of square quick travel is awful.

Edit: Come to think of it, I don't think I had Rise at 10 though she was in a relationship with my MC. Could that be why?

I started playing P3P, too, but the lack of 3d environments made everything feel small so I figured I'll play P3 FES first.

Seems pretty weird so far. Persona 3 gets you playing faster, I think it took me about 45 minutes to the tutorial fighting in Tartarus, but Persona 4 sets up the story a lot better in the 2 hours it takes for it to actually be a game. Right now P3 has about as much story as Legend of Grimrock.

No you don't. Just fuse Trumpeter and get the skill card from him.

Also, just use Trumpeter in general. He gets both Heat Riser and Debilitate naturally, you don't have to have both those skills on Yoshitsune.

There's a reason the game says "Would you like to save? By the way, this is a really loving important decision point, you should probably save a back-up."

I thought I made it pretty clear I was joking, but I guess it is hard to tell tone with nothing but text to convert it. I merely meant that I was saddened over that particular part of the story. Not actually throwing a fit over it.
