Yikes between Marakukaja, Mediarahan and Atomic Flare Makoto burns through waaay too much SP in the end game. Atomic Flare seems only good if you REALLY want that damage, definitely should keep Freidyne lol.

I don't think I've used much SP items for Morgana in comparison.

I'm making a sweatshop out of Yusuke when it comes to making Debilitate and Charge skill cards.

MORE CARDS! MOOOORE!

Yusuke is an Arms Master factory for me now. Need to figure out how to get Spell Master onto a card. Maybe I should do a third playthrough to have enough daNO WHAT AM I THINKING WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.

I'd say replay P4G to see if it's as great as you remember it to be. I plan on doing the same since it's been about 3 years. I honestly might not touch Persona 5 until the re-release. I think all the hype made my expectations too high, but I still think my gripes with the game (mainly the lack of music variety and endgame pacing) are valid.

I've rewatched a LP for P4G like 4 times after I finished it about 2 years ago. Man, so many hilarious scenes still get to me. Funny thing is I never felt the need or want to watch the anime adaptations. I just love rewatching the game's scenes. So funny.

For the most part I think it's fine to skip the anime, but there's one episode in particular that is basically the most adorable episode ever and actually now that I'm reminded of it I might go home tonight and watch it.

Spoiler

It's the episode where Yu does a whole bunch of social links during the summer and Nanako follows him around in her detective getup, SO CUTE

 

[Astral]

I have my doubts about that. I only got one dungeon left and I've only had to use SP recovery items like... twice. Those adhesives go a long way.

I was spending a lot of SP in Palace 7. I didn't use too many items but I definitely noticed a difference. Mediarahan and Marakukaja are damn costly.

Alright, i might need to check this out

 

[NEO0MJ]

So, is there any way to recover a good amount of SP inside a palace other than with healing items? I was hoping I could power through the first one is a single day but I'm out of SP.

Go play something else. You seem way burnt out.

You're probably right.

Hmmm, I'll probably do this - I'll be using transit more this coming semester, so it gives me something to do on the skytrain & bus. (Wonder if I should play P3P first before P4G though...)

[Jiraiza]

How hard is it to get all those abilities from network fusion? (I have almighty amp so I'm only missing boost and magic ability) I want to make something like this but with either pixie or jack frost.

It took me a few hours at best for all four Network Fusion exclusive abilities. I got Soul Chain randomly at some point early in the game and never even realized it. Some people have worst luck, though.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I thought training only upped your max HP, is the gym different than training at home?

 

[Unaha-Closp]

You get HP at home and you get HP and SP at the Gym. You get more, a small amount, if you take protein in with you and chug it down. Eventually you master all the Gym equipment and if you keep going you only get 1 HP and 1 SP.

Yes , some of us get Soul Chain twice instead of useful things. But now I'm just fishing for Magic Ability.

I don't think I've used much SP items for Morgana in comparison.

Yeah I don't really get the severe spells, especially the single target ones. Pay off does not seem nearly great enough for the cost boost. (Okay with that halve sp cost thing).

I did a spirit choker entire second playthrough on Makoto for the SP issue. Also stuck with mediarama. But Marakukaja, aoe heals, dekunda made her a core of my group. Morgana was for extra heals/lucky punch/wind. Yusuke was there for masukukaja/physical. Anne would replace Morgana for dekaja/tarunda/sleep/damage on many fights. Ryuji and haru would replace people as situation required.

Tbh, wish Makoto had the ridiculous SP pool of Anne as otherwise I feel she's generally more useful as a healer/buffer.

I had both Ann and Makoto in my main party and Ann definitely surpasses Makoto in sheer damage. Couple that with her high SP pool and she's just a way better damage dealer. In the end I used Makoto for Marakukaja and healing.

Diarahan. Ann is a damage dealer imo. Leave the dealing to people that actually have Mediarahan. Or Tarunda since you can get Debilitate with the MC.

Tarunda. MC can just make a persona that handles that stuff. Especially when you get the Heat Riser equivalent of enemy debuffs.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Ryuji, haru and makoto was my main party for the end game.

Makoto was nice because she was versatile, she could do great back up damage, heal, cleanse and buff.

Ryuji and Haru were just goddamn murder machines, I watched God hand push 2k+ and Haru's triple shot do around 1.6k. Also she had heat riser.

Also question to people on NG+

Spoiler

Is it me or is Satanael actually just better as a buff bot than anything else? Especially if you're trying to do a no party challenge. Since he has no weaknesses and tons of strong resistances, he's much better as a buff bot since you're always leaving yourself open after buffing on your turn

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

It always seemed to me that Mona was playing around with him, though he did go too far at times.

Ryuji was just out for blood lmao

You've got it backwards. The disdain in Mona's voice every time he calls Ryuji pathetic for missing an attack is palpable.

If you're doing a no party challenge you should probably just use Heat Riser or a 2nd persona with all 3 of Auto-Ma(Ra/Ta/Su)kaja for dedicated entry buffing.

 

[jrcbandit]

So I'm try to make a nice Physical persona that I can be lazy with also for dungeon clearing. Seems like if you don't use the agility buff, you miss all the time with AOE physical skills.

So how about this on a Siegfried (null Physical):
God Hand
Agneyestra
Charge
Auto-Masuku
Auto-Mataru
Apt Pupil
Repel Nuke
Enduring Soul

I want to fit Arms Master in there, what should I replace? Put charge on another Persona or get rid of Apt Pupil or Enduring Soul?

How high do I need to go on Endurance and Luck? I'm definitely going to keep raising my strength and agility (in low to mid 60s).

Agidyne. By that point in the game, I found that the SP difference between the multi-target and single-target variants were negligible.

Satanael

is the perfect persona to put those types of skills on.

 

[Elaugaufein]

Agidyne. By that point in the game, I found that the SP difference between the multi-target and single-target variants were negligible.

You probably want to keep Agidyne there because she gets Blazing Hell later which is a Severe Multi-Target Fire Attack , keeping Agidyne gives you something cheaper to use during boss fights.

The Multi-Targer spells are also a little bit weaker than singles of the same damage so a Dyne is stronger than a Ma-Dyne.

If you're looking for a Physical murder machine you probably want Yoshitsune and Hassou Tobi and (Str / Agi ) / End (or Luk if you want to try to for Crits but Hassou Tobi has a really low critical rate and massive damage anyways so not really recommended).

A specially built Kaguya is about the only thing that comes close in murder ability and that's a magic build.

The Multi-Targer spells are also a little bit weaker than singles of the same damage so a Dyne is stronger than a Ma-Dyne.

It's precisely because the only Severe damage spell she gets is multi-target, while her single-target stays at Heavy, that I ditched using Agidyne late-game. It would probably be more SP efficient for bosses, but Concentrate+Blazing Hell just deals so much more damage. Drowning in SP-healing items at that point helped out as well.

I guess if depends how much damage you lose spending turns refilling her SP vs doing lower damage with Agidyne per turn. Concentrate serves as a bit of a mitigator since it massively improves Blazing Hell's efficiency since it's so expensive.

Thanks. Do you start over at level 1?

I believe all Unlocked Persona stay unlocked too and you keep the related key items where applicable from those requests.

Playing on NG+ right now, and noticed that Ryuji is drastically different early on than he is in September.

Early on, he was vulgar and loud, but his head was in the right place.

In September, he was an asshole just for the sake of it.

It just like how Teddie changed in the added cutscenes in Golden as well as Persona Q.

Its a deliberate part of his character arc. Being a Phantom Thief goes to his head.

Flush Atomic Flare out. It sucks. Costs like 4X the SP of Freidyne but barely does more damage.
