You think that’s scary!? Try having defeated 4 gold shadows and have collected 4 magic mirrors on the same floor, don’t knowing where the stairs are. Than you hear a chain.... The amount of fear I had in that moment was inconceivable

[@mapleqood7658]

@@shiningstar737 it was scary for me when. I played persona 5 for the first time and see the reaper for the first time

[@arjostarudo9406]

@@mapleqood7658 did you scared When you Heard the chain sounds while you were playing Persona 5? Why? I mean don't get me wrong, yeah those chain sounds really give chill to spines to anyone. But unlike other Persona games, Persona 5 is the one and only Persona game that is inform and warning you to about existence of the Reaper.

[@Bongbongo]

😧 the enemy

[@Averi0]

Denying Akihiko's chances for an All-Out Attack was a decent strategy, as it allows the Reaper waste a turn trying to get back up, and then you just do everything else like you do.

[@nokamiwd]

It's kinda sad though that the best strategy involves blue balling the one who had been waiting for that moment

[@dropdatabase2569]

It's so easy in FES. It doesn't attack right away after recovery. In Portable you have to do all that and withstand his every attack

[@SeraphSeph]

I think that's exactly why they changed it in portable. A change for the better since this didnt feel interactive to play. I just wish portable didnt cut so many corners in other areas.

[@justinosbourne6559]

Seraph Sephiroth the reaper will literally use myriad arrows and you'll die no matter what, it's crazy

[@kevin2714]

[@meikoluvv]

Yesterday I was playing Persona fes in the dark. I won like usual in floor 6, 9 days away from the first boss. It was shuffle card so I picked the rapier with skulls and look deadly out of curiosity.... when I tell you I pissed on myself when Mitsuri said death was near. Oh my god THE CHAIN NOISES I WAS SHAKING LMAOO

[@Homururu]

The best part of this fight is whiffing the Thunder Reign, leading to good ol' Reaps using Myriad Arrows and you being the only one he hits three times, two of them being crits, and dying

[@justinosbourne6559]

Homururu 🌙 you aren't lying lol, happened to me 3 times

[@Jack_80]

i think i'm screwed on this strat because my emperor link is only lvl 7 so i can't fuse odin, and i'm in winter break so i can't level it up and running out of days. not sure if i get back to school and have enough time to max it just before running out of time, but it feels like i won't.

[@Jack_80]

i'm sure it's possible to beat it without odin but probably extremely difficult.

[@Snatino]

@@Jack_80 you can use Thor + Take Mikazuchi fusion spell as a substitute, you burn a lot more SP but the results are the same

[@solitarycrow]

back when the reaper was actually scary in persona

[@ksr1581]

I was laughing the whole time when they get to do all out attacks on the Reaper for who knows times, then at the end the chain reached Aigis. I still see that moment like as if Akihiko got cucked at the very last moment. Poor Akihiko.

[@PCMonkey202]

I've been waiting for this

[@ZeusMakesVideos]

Ok, could someone explain how the HELL you get all crits everytime Akihiko attacks with his fists?

[@ember2286]

Probably a combination of a high luck stat, luck ring, and a weapon with a luck buff. I've been using king of swords on Orpheus until the luck stat was 70 and I crit with my sword about 70% of the time

[@SOMERANDOMPERSONNPC]

Nah, it's just the effect of shock. If enemies are shocked, guaranteed crits from Phys attacks

[@skaarridley7247]

Yeah, what the above said. The shock inflicted by Thunder Reign is what makes all the physical moves there crit. That's the whole strat, really.

[@boiwifeyasmr4U]

@@SOMERANDOMPERSONNPC I had no idea that’s what shock did... the whole time. I wish I knew that.

[@one-wingedangel5107]

Literally why Odin is one of the best in the game, has access to Thunder Reign which is guaranteed shock like how Niflheim from Skadi guarantees freeze, got spell master and elec+ passives, the only thing you need to make sure off is patch his weakness for wind and that could be easily done.
