Lavenza Boss Fight - Persona 5 Royal

[@FazPersona]

Man, this boss fight is really hard. If you even want a chance to defeat her you will need a skill that has has a high chance on a critical hit. Using Kasumi is recommended for this battle Itemizing Yamata-no-Orochi when the fusion alarm is on ( you can start a fusion alarm every time at Chihaya's fortune reading after rank 8 for 20k yen ) will give you the One-Shot kill skill card. this skill combined with passive moves that increase critical hits can really help, Kasumi's sword dance skill also has a high critical hit chance which really helps.

Faz would you say that this battle is as hard or harder than the Caroline and Justine fight?

[@josueravena3464]

@@BGamer-tf9zn A LOT harder. You cant cheese it with Yoshitsune without strategy. Sometimes luck takes a part of this.

It's hard because you never even used buffs and debuffs throughout the fight... You also need a healer because well... She deals a lot of damage

That they were two is exactly why they are such push-overs. You can just use AoE attacks to hit both, making their HP much less than her sisters. Also, they don't have any conditions to meet during battle except "do enough damage".

[@canadiangopnik7007]

[@TLGR]

One tip I can give is to constantly keep her Debilitated. If you don’t want to use Akechi, you can get Debilitate for anyone except Kasumi from one of the Jazz Club Sundays in December. If she has negative stat changes, she will use Dekunda in place of some skills. That will make sure she doesn’t always get two turns to do things against you. Also, the first round is a test of affinities, so whatever element she last used, she will take the most damage from that elements opposite. So if she last used fire, use ice on her. Break skills are also a good thing to have, Faz had the right idea. Ren can keep up damage no matter what with Almighty, but it’s good to have a high damage party member helping whittle her down. For her phase where she’s like “use an ailment on me or your dead.” I reccomend freeze because it temporarily changes her physical affinity to normal. Combine that with a high phys damage member like Ryuji or Akechi, and I’ve done 4,000 to 6,000 to her in one strike after freeze.

[@joshuamedina6807]

Oh so the phase change was use an aliment or die I just did enough damage to get to the next phase in one turn I knew I was doing it wrong lol

[@AnimeSimp234]

@@mrex666productions7 Ok firstly, just because people beat beat her at higher difficulties means nothing. There will of course always be some people who beat any boss. That doesn't take away from the fact that the boss is very challenging. Considering that this is the easiest difficulty, just imagine the kind of damage Lavenza can output on....hell even NORMAL difficulty. I mean, having a good healer is helpful sure, but I don't think that will matter too much in a fight where Lavenza can pretty much one-shot any of your party members. The attendants aren't nearly as bad. You can kill them much quicker, and they don't have the ability to literally break the rules of the game and attack you in the middle of your turn. The point is, this fight's going to be tough, regardless of what team you bring in, and what strategy you use.

So anyone want to know something *really* fun? Use Technicals until Phase 3. Literally just use say, Cybele with Gloomy Child and Lullaby or Gloomy Child Raoul and Phantom Show, then have someone (I suggest Mona) use Okumura’s target Concentrate on Joker, have Haru Psiodyne and then Baton Pass to Joker and use Megidolaon/Black Viper/Morning Star/Myriad Truths. Every turn until she gets to phase 3. Then, if you’re using Haru, Mona and Sumire, switch to a Persona with high Crit chance moves like Brave Blade or One Shot Kill because Technical doesn’t work anymore. Maybe Shock does but I don’t know for sure. Since Sumire has Brave Step basically every hit can Crit. One Shot Kill, Brave Blade, Miracle Rush, One Shot Kill. If anyone has Charge that’s good too but not necessary. Just keep whaling on her. Akechi’s Rebellion Blade in exchange for anyone not Sumire also works since you’ll likely have her knocked to the ground and then it’ll deal like, 3x damage

[@ShinyKyu]

Lavenza is no doubt incredibly difficult, especially with phase requirements sometimes needing pure luck to be met, but it’s significantly easier when you have an optimized team and setup. Just having high crit moves, Yoshitsune with Hassou Tobi, and Persona with Charge/Concentrate is barely enough to let you win. Before you even start the battle, have a Persona with Will of the Sword equipped. It’s bugged to make you start the battle with a free Concentrate, so you don’t need to waste a turn. I’d say to start the battle with Auto-skills but Lavenza immediately starts with Dekaja to nullify stat increases, so it’s a moot point. Have dedicated support Personas: They should only have support skills and passives that boost support or keep them alive longer (repels/drains are always good), no offensive skills. I have an Alilat with Vitality of the Tree (from Attis) and Thermopolyae, Charge, and Concentrate. Everything else is just Repels/Drains, so it literally can only be hurt by Wind and Almighty. Maria is my healer (and it’s the best healer by far with her signature skills) with Grace of Mother to reduce healing SP costs, Salvation, Holy Benevolence, Drains that cover her weaknesses, and passives that heal 40% every turn I have her equipped. My Yoshitsune has the Undying Fury trait (from Zaou Gongen), Hassou Tobi and Sword Dance for the high crit, with everything else being passives: Apt Pupil, Arms Master, and the rest being Repels/Drains. When Lavenza uses elemental attacks, she’ll take the most damage from the opposite element (ex: if she uses wind, use electric), so you can prepare a bunch of personas specialized for each element (have Intense Focus or Will of the Sword, Boost and Amp, Spell Master, Magic Ability, Ali Dance, and Repel/Drain for any weaknesses). If you just want a single Almighty Persona, fuse Satanael with Will of the Sword, Black Viper, and Megidoloan. The rest are passive Boost and Amp, Spell Master, Magic Ability, Tyrant’s Mind, and Ali Dance. This will give you the highest Almighty damage in the game.

[@luistorres-cardenas3283]

U will need Joker, Ryuji (equip him with Ring of Greed), Makoto (equip her with Sword Dance Belt), and Kasumi (my opinion, just sayin). First/Third phase is where u will need to use Sword Dance to crit her. Then u will pass the baton to Joker to attack. Second Phase is where u will need to use ailment vials, and elemental items based on ailment used to hit her. Then pass the baton as usual, and attack. Fourth Phase is where u will try to take her down, using Charge/Concentrate/Heat Riser or Thermopylae, for u/ ur teammates, before Lavenza uses Lucifer to charge up/use a Megidolaon on u, possibly taking u all out.

[@zkdelta8014]

I used Joker(w/Revolution Anklet), Morgana(w/Dragon's Heart), Ann(w/Fire Dragon Horn), and Sumire(w/Diamond Dust Lily) to beat her on merciless mode. On the first phase I would be using Arsene who would have Debilitate and Thermopylae with Vitality of the Tree, and Izanagi Picaro with Maziodyne; Morgana would be using either Salvation, Marakunda, or Magarudyne; Ann would either be using High Energy or Blazing Hell; and Sumire would be using Diamond Dust or Sword Dance. On the second phase Joker would be using Arsene to buff and debuff, switch over to Kaguya Picaro to counter physical moves and block both bless and curse instakills, and using Earth Beans on Sumire; Morgana would be using Salvation and sometimes use some items to either heal health, status ailments, or just use Earth Beans on Sumire; Ann would be using Dormina; and Sumire would be using Sword Dance while also Baton Passing to Joker to let Joker do another move. On the third phase both Ann and Morgana block or heal while Joker uses Revolution and Sumire uses Sword Dance. On the last phase I just use everyone's strongest moves like Satanael's Black Viper, Ann's Blazing Hell, and Sumire's Sword Dance; while Morgana heals or Earth Beans Sumire; Joker would also sometimes buff and debuff while also using Kaguya Picaro for Concentrate. Ann and Morgana's accessories were useless since I was expecting for her to have a phase that was similar to her first phase, but instead you needed nuke, psy, bless, or curse.

I understand why things are the way they are in games, to be balanced and fun, but let’s be honest, in reality, Futaba is SUUUUUUPER OP, like, here I’ll just give the entire team charge and concentrate at the same time, *enemy attacks* hah, no *activates final guard* oh you took damage? *ultimate support* if you had any control over Futaba this game would have literally zero tension, it’d be a cakewalk, and on top of her amazing character, that is why Futaba is and will always be best girl, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[@dimentioo]

she has to have strong abilities just bc u can’t control here lol

Agree, they screw up the balance in Royal, Hard mode or Merciless is easier than normal in the vanilla or P3-4

I think it would have been cooler if when she summoned Lucifer she used Morning Star, cause you know it's stronger than Megidoloan

I just got really lucky on mine today. She charged megidolaon and joker alone survived with 1 hp bc of endure and futaba, the mvp that she is, cast ultimate support so i won. (If you arent tracking, ultimate support revives all downs, fully heals and casts heat riser and brave step on the whole party)

[@Esmeralda505]

Holy crap people weren’t kidding of how difficult this fight is even on normal mode. I tried doing it in Merciless Mode and Hard Mode But she kept All out Attacking me when I couldn’t perform crits so I had to downgrade to normal and even then I still struggled. Lmao. Kasumi is perfect to bring for this fight because of that high crit Chance with Sword Dance. If you don’t mind me asking what mode did you do this on? I feel silly for not being able to do it on merciless mode and I was doing the entire game on merciless mode. Then Lavenza came and it was a nightmare.

abyye sad. It was sad

[@shwahgamer]

I beat those two for the first time today. (I'd never bothered with challenge battles before.) And while the fights themselves aren't that bad, the real difficulty is in beating them with the required points to actually get a reward out of it. And I still prefer those over this! Those fights were fun! Lavenza is just not fun to fight.

[@TheRedPandaQueen]

Im glad I got to see this. Futaba came in clutch a few times haha and saying what multiple times was funny. That last bit of health seemed to take forever to go.

[@joshuadelministro4954]

14:11 I wonder what was Lavenza's reaction to that...

[@alphathehedgehogx96]

This fight is honestly super fun But that Critical Hit phase is an honest drag (even though I managed to finish it in roughly two rounds of player moves) Unfortunately for me, the only reason I legitimately beat it is because my Satanael had Enduring Soul I didn't count the turns in the final phase, so her Concentrate Megidolaon really hurt me

[@josephcruz2789]

I wonder if Lavenza is stronger than the Twins?

[@FazPersona]

She is

[@Oh_Ok0]

1 hit murder Megidolaon, and she actually resists and blocks things. Of course she's stronger.

[@Ramo123ism]

And you *N e e d* crits near the beginning of the battle or it's over.

[@JTTunes1204]

Lavenza can also do an all-out attack on her own.

You basically need the enduring skill card lavenza gives you Or just get endure

Lavenza : **Chainsaw** pop out from book

[@TheActualMrLink]

3 things: 1: I beat Lavenza just the other day with Joker, Ryuji, Haru, and Ann/Sumire! It was rough and took a number of attempts and some creating of specifically-made Personas, but I did it! 2: this video helped me do it, particularly the part where you never did the All-Out Attack after a Hold Up, instead going for a Baton Pass while Lavenza was downed. (I sure as hell would’ve never thought to do that!) 3: what weapons/accessories did you use? I’m particularly interested in what Ryuji’s holding, it looks really cool!

[@blondon1368]

This was a nightmare on merciless. Hitting the damage cap in phase one was hard enough, but having to get a crit every turn during phase three was bullshit. Then in phase five you have to worry about her using concentrate followed by megidolaon for a one hit kill even when debuffed

[@Monty2289]

If you're not gonna Matunda why not...just have Haru for the natural One Shot Kill. Sumire can also use Brave Step. That why Joker can focus exclusively on Charge + Hassou. And if you need a reprevial Haru can block all damage for that turn if necessary.

[@akilator1269]

Best strategy in my opinion is get a almighty set up with satanael and block, reflect etc. bless and curse so you can prevent instakills get enduring soul and black viper lastly for joker get maria as healer, have akechi , sumire and morgana. Let joker do most of the with satanael using black viper, next akechi attacks or debilitates, morgana can get criticals heal and raise evasion and sumire is for criticals and some damage. when you get a critical baton pass to joker and either use concentrate or save concentrate to use black viper with the baton pass. lastlt get futuba's third awakaning and sleep vials. With all of this it shouldn't be hard just a little tedious.

[@__-xm5zb]

The strategy I used for this battle is incredibly similar. I went in with Joker, Morgana, Haru, and Kasumi. I would concentrate with joker, debilitate/heal with Morgana, try for a crit with Haru, and increase crit chance / try for a crit with Kasumi. The only parts of the battle that didn’t follow this are the second (technical), and third (critical hit) phases. In the second phase I would concentrate with Joker, use rage vial, get a technical with Haru, baton pass to Joker and deal severe psy damage, with the ability of the persona increasing technical damage by %50 (don’t remember what persona it is). This would usually end the phase in one turn and leave no worrying about insta-kill skills, since this is the only phase Lavenza will use them. In the third phase I would concentrate on Joker, and try for a crit with the rest of my party. When I would get a crit, baton pass to Joker and use black viper. This phase lasted about 3 rounds. The final phase I used the same strategy I used the first phase. If at some point in the battle I didn’t get a crit (not in third phase, because that would just instantly end the battle), I would have Joker use thermopylae.

[@kevincreed7375]

Question Just kinda skimming though the battle and was curious if she uses any health stealing abilities when her health gets low? I mean I beat the reaper at 14 so I’m kinda excited to get to this battle around 3rd semester

[@rattaniusprattanious]

Probably late But no she doesnt

[@robodestroyer8351]

Like getting two turns fine whatever but she also gets to use the chainsaw after every single member goes for a time right there and if you didn't heal she could take out a party member pretty easily just with the chainsaw
