This sucks a lot because it makes you want to mash to skip it, which unfortunately means missing Futaba's line about killing all the robots in the same turn, which as it turns out, will make you waste hours of your time thinking the boss is actually long without understanding why it keeps going on and on and on ... That happened to me. Fuck this boss.

I like how 2 years later after the first game, they were like "maybe this fight is ok. How do we tweak it?" "When we make the other bosses longer, lets make this one HARDER than last time!

That one guy who play tested but remembers he's under contract: Did....did we play the same exact part of the game or are you bsing me-I mean, yeah! They'll love it!"

[@EminenceAlpaca]

I really like how they kept the fight with the theme of “ceo hides behind his workforce”. But the targeting and his constant chatter and callouts makes the fight less boring compared to the original.

Its definitely an improvement. But it's still relatively boring for about 70% of the fight

Well looks like they made this fight a lot more annoying than the original. In the original fight the trash mobs were pushovers. Only thing you had to worry about was ensuring your health was high enough so the big robot didn't one shot you with the power of anime Mcdonalds. Also it seems robo Haru has taken the Chiaotzu approach to self-sacrifice, couldn't even do enough damage to finish off the MC.

[@Alerya1516318]

Bro “anime Mcdonalds” 😂😂😂

[@omrizubary]

Lol anime Macdonalds🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ShadowPersona360]

First off, I think it's more accurate to say anime Burger King (lol). Second, the fight is also harder because the boss consistently spams buffs on one mob, debuffs on your entire team, and commands one enemy almost every 2 turns to kamikaze your team. Plus, the mobs 'reset' themselves if you don't defeat them in 2 turns or less (though the exception is the one that blows up in that time, so technically it's kill at least 3 minimum). The only exception to that annoyance is the single giant robot and Robo-Haru (kinda). All of which wouldn't really be TOO bad if it's not for the fact that you have to do this all within a certain time, which means that if you aren't entirely prepared, you're already screwed from the get-go

[@voodoowoodpecker4320]

@@ShadowPersona360 , I stuck with green giant robots for about 3 hours, cause I didn't have enough damage to kill buffed robots. Felt really annoying.

[@Some__Guy]

This battle was absolutely the worst fight in the entire game. They somehow managed to over correct from stupidly easy and anticlimactic, to infuriatingly bullshit. I've tried 4 times, and those goddamned green robots will never, never, never die. This is the first time I've ever rage-quit a Persona fight. Taking up 25 minutes of a fight before I finally have to quit and go grind a persona to have better Psi moves, because I'm physically incapable of beating a boss that has no business being as difficult as it is, is not fun.

[@yashbhuiya7156]

I'll copy and paste a comment I made on a strat that might help in beating the boss, if you haven't beaten it already. The best way to beat this boss is to use items that do the affect the right affinity weakness for each wave of robots, whenever you use a teammate that doesn't have the correct affinity. This is so you can take full advantage of baton passes. For example, I used a team of Ryuji, Morgana, Joker, and Haru. For the example, I'll focus on the 5th wave of giant green robots. Whenever it's Ryuji or Morgan's turn, throw an item that deals psy damage to one enemy and baton pass to the next teammate (Ryuji or Morgana) that don't naturally have the psy affinity. Then baton pass to either Haru or Joker, depending on who has the second strongest AOE attack of psy (or curse if you have that for Joker as that is also a weakness for the giant green bots). Make sure the third baton player AOEs for the weakness and pass it to the last player to also AOE again for Max damage. Basically, take as much advantage of the baton passes as you can for this fight. I hope it helps.

A honest strategy for this fight: when you get to the part with green robots, use concentrate on joker, have ryuji buff his attack, and have morgana and haru on the on the field. When the green robots appear again, use miracle punch with morgana, hoping it succeeds, baton pass to haru, use psio on one robot and baton pass to joker and do your most powerful multi-attacking psio move. That should wear them down pretty good for following attacks. I did this at lv 44 on hard mode. Hope this helps you guys!

[@soc1163]

@@psionics321 Even with baton pass and items, this boss is just kind of horseshit for what they're expecting of players at this level. They're already insanely powerful and durable, however it wouldn't be such an issue... IF they didn't leave the fight after two turns, which if you happen to not finish all of them off by that point but they have a sliver of health yet, makes it that much more annoying. This also means that if you used items against that wave of enemies, they're potentially gone now forcing you to restart because they were the only thing that gave the player a chance. Not only that, but one enemy can self destruct and oftentimes, that's the one buffed with defense adding on to those massive issues already there. I wouldn't say it's people being bad either, because almost no one complains about the rest of the bosses in this way. Not even Maruki, who works similarly but is not designed to inconvenience the player in every way possible by that point in the game. I handily beat this boss on my second playthrough in 5 or so minutes, but that doesn't change how I feel about its design.

[@psionics321]

@@soc1163 isn't the challenge in this fight about fighting the clock? you have a 30 second timer and u have a turn or two to kill the round of enemies after they reach low HP. the game gives players many ways to boost their damage output, and this fight is in the mid to late game. Not really the game's fault if a lot of players don't fully utilize something given to them so early on in the game

[@tmannintendo]

Straight up to win this fight. Buy elemental "bomb" items that attack single enemies. (Specifically more psybombs). The hardest part is getting past the green chief robots. Have Haru on your team with psy and have joker with strong psy abilities as well. Have your other teammates use the items that the robots are weak to and baton pass to the other teammates that dont have psy abilities. Eventually you baton pass to joker and haru to blast them into oblivion with a full powered baton pass attack. This fight taught me how powerful baton pass can be and how cool the mechanic is.

[@josephstewart2821]

Probably the best advice possible - getting a level 4 baton pass can wipe any wave out but it is only possible to do using items like you say.

Those green robots always run like little bitches when their health goes the slightest bit under half, so great job, you’ve just wasted your SP and any items you might have used so you can do it all over again because Okumura will always call in more robots till the end of time unless you’ve either beaten him by sheer luck or you quit.

If anyone happens to be reading through the comments and is struggling with this fight, try to make use of baton passes. On the last set of robots before robo-Haru, I’d recommend hitting two weaknesses with Haru, one with another party member using an item, another with another party member, and then pass to joker to finish them.

[@JellyJman]

For real, baton passes are so good with the free buffs, just get Joker a persona like Haru’s and follow up after a baton pass

To those who come here to seek help. Here’s helpful tips. 1. Hit the weakness one enemy at a time to gather the baton pass strengths. If your party member doesn’t have the weakness spell, use an item just so you can baton pass to the member who has the weakness spell to deal major damage. Try to keep at it till up to 4 baton pass. A single baton pass can go a long way. 2. If your party member doesn’t have the weakness spell to down an enemy, don’t bother attacking with a resistant spell or physical attack as it won’t to much damage. Use the turn wisely to perform stat boost or healing. They can also either debuff enemies or remove stats debuffs on party. 3. You have 2 turns to destroy enemy group before they explode and revive. If you didn’t kill the group on your first turn, you have a second turn. Plan your move accordingly. 4. Cognitive Haru will explode on her second turn and will deal massive damage. You have 2 turns to try to defeat her. If you couldn’t do it near the end of the second turn, heal up as much as possible and raise defence to survive her blast. This what saved me. Good luck out there and let me know.

[@stormknight5100]

Proud to say I beat this boss fight on the 4th try on Hard difficulty, it was a pain in the ass not gonna lie. The main personas I used were Rogue Kaguya for the reflect physical dmg passive, and the Kaiwan, a star-shaped persona with an “old” face. My team was around level 41-42, with Ann, Mona and Haru on the field. I would use damage items to deal effective attacks, mostly with Mona and Ann against the green dudes, then Baton pass to Joker to either debuff Defense, or buff team’s Attack, that way being able to deal more damage and defeat the green dudes in time. Everyone before them was relatively easy if one knows their weaknesses, and for the final guy in black suit, I would just attack and then defend when the Big Bang Challenge attack was coming. I must say I had an SP regen accesory I bought from Takemi on Joker, as he’s always using more SP than most of the team. This has been my most difficult fight so far, both because of the high HP enemies had, and because of the pressure the timer put on one, nonetheless, it was an entertaining fight.
