There is none immune to physical damage, that i can fuse for my level. However Take-minakata is resistant, however it just doesn't seem to do that much against the samurai warriors, who use gale-slash over and over. I might have to grind, i am level 33 so i might be underleveled for rise's dungeon.

Well, I don't know if you have already or not, but going through Yukiko's dungeon again could be handy for you. It should be easy given the level you are, you'll probably gain some levels in the process, and there's a nice weapon for Yukiko at the end.

At level 33 you're not underleveled, you're about where you should be. Just make sure to find out enemy weaknesses and hit them as often as possible. This is why you should try not to use redundant party members (not a problem yet, but it will be) and cover the gaps yourself. I actually think I had a Sati around then with all four primary elements and she stuck around until level ~50 through sheer diversity and shuffle time stat buffs.

Get Ose. He might look like a silly cheetahman wearing panties, but he has this physical skill called Atom Smasher (2x-4x phys damage to all enemies, chance to inflict Fear) that absolutely wrecks poo poo. Pretty much anything that isn't immune to physical damage either gets killed instantly or loses a huge chunk of health.

If it's just one or two different enemy types that are giving you fits, running is also always an option. I remember it being a bigger issue in P3 than in P4, but there's still enemies that are just too much of a pain in the rear end to be worth fighting, unless they drop a quest item or something.

Already went through Yukiko's dungeon, and beat the new boss at the end. Where is Yukiko's weapon in that dungeon?

Also i figured out why my main characther was so drat weak, his armour is still a T-Shirt. Even though i swear i bought and equipped better armour. :iiam:

Yep. It's the same for any later dungeon you replay, too. The weapon/item will be somewhere in the area the new boss was. Just walk about until the prompt appears.

Yeah he is actually really good. Thanks for the idea.

Is there anyway to tell what the spell on the skill card does? Without going onto the internet, or running to Marie?

Right, Sorry. I've been using Naoto 73, Teddie 69, and Yukiko 70, with the MC at 71. I reloaded after dying so much so maybe add a couple levels when I finally get to Izanami. I've been switching between Raphael and Uriel for the most part.

I use Teddie to keep Rakunda up and use my strongest spells and I'm fine for part 1. Then when part 2 rolls around I'm dead in a couple turns :/.

Fuse Trumpeter, level him up until he learns Debilitate. Tarunda + Sukunda + Rakunda, all in one skill. It's an amazing skill, and since you're at the final boss he should be pretty close to having it after bonus EXP alone.

This was pretty much my set-up when I did it long ago and it should work fine, considering the extra poo poo and Rise butting in every now and again:

If you've got a Chakra Ring, slap it on Naoto so that her Mind Charge -> Almighty doesn't burn a hole through her SP as quickly. If she's got a good gun, you can have her take some shots if she happens to run out so that she's not completely worthless after that. Get her to 75 since she learned Megidolaon and that, with Mind Charge, can bring you to ~300dmg/2 turns.

Yukiko is usually my main healer during the fight but the few times she was able to take a break and cast fire spells, she was pretty strong. If you want to take advantage of this, you're going to have to pick up the slack with that healing.

Since Teddie's involved, and if he's got Mediarahan and his buffs, then he should take over and that means Yukiko can bring chaos.

Overall, you're probably going to want just a few more levels to maintain a sense of challenge. If everyone gets in the high 80s/low 90s, you're probably not going to die beyond a massive gently caress-up.

That's honestly like 5-10 levels too low in my opinion. Low 70s is where I was in November IIRC. Have you been avoiding Golden Hands?

I agree, a lot of his mannerisms can be annoying. You'll just have to grin and bear it.

EDIT: Probably around half to three quarters of Yosuke's stupid decisions are due to Teddie being an awful, awful enabler. So I guess be prepared for that.

If you can ignore the sheer amount of times she repeats "Senpai" then she's pretty alright. But then again I enjoyed pretty much every character.


Edit: Also, in Golden she gets some abilities that make her really helpful in battle, even though she's just mission control. So that's a plus.

Do you think that the main character should be fawned over? If so, you will enjoy her scenes. If not, you will probably not.

I, myself, have no real issue with her, though I vastly prefer the jaded, burnt-out idol she was before she got kidnapped.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
Teddie gets better, I think. He's totally a child, but at least he has an excuse. I don't think he is so much obsessed with sex as that he has no idea what it even is, but thinks he should desire it for some unclear reason. Probably hanging around Yosuke doesn't help.

Rise... seems divisive. Some people really like her, and she is notably a confident and outgoing character. Personally, I kinda disliked her - a lot of her interactions felt manipulative on her part, she's not a very empathic character overall.

My opinion of Rise is heavily influenced by the fact that she is the most goddamn broken party "member" in the game with her social link stuff.

Are you sure about that? Because from what I remember about Yukiko's S. Link, you need to outright tell her you love her to enter a relationship. So unless you picked that option accidentally I don't know how you could have entered into a relationship with her.
