I'd say Junpei and Koromaru were the ones considered the worst, even Atlus gave them extra stat points for the Answer. Ken at least had two elemental coverage and earlier AOE healing than Yukari.
@5h3nn0ng10 ай бұрын
@@MiracleEclipse True, but the problem was that Ken was undervalued either because of this master of all, master of none skillset and/or his character in the story. Hence why he is often overshadowed by Yukari as a Healer role And its usually detrimental in that case, because there are some situations where you do want to run Ken over Yukari such as the infamous 135 Table due to his Light Resistance

Yeah both Junpei and Koromaru are easily the most improved party members. Koromaru is just amazing support for physicals attackers and Junpei is arguably the best damage dealer in the game aside from maybe the limited time you have access to Shinji.

Distress makes the victim unable to dodge the next attack that gets aimed at them, increases the damage they take, and makes them more likely to be critically hit, but is cured after taking any damage The victim also deals way less damage while distressed

Yeah, Aki got hit pretty hard. He's still decent because he's the only party member in the game that is exceptional at both magic and physical Attacks. He's much better than everyone initially gave him credit for in Reload, but he still has some frustrating issues. Lack of multitarget physical skills is a real bummer outside of solo bosses, and his overreliance on tarukakaja to put out impressive numbers can be inconvenient sometimes. The auto buff equipment helps him a lot, but doesn't solve the annoyance completely.

I’m a Persona 5 fan so I use all the characters equally, since EXP is not shared to members that aren’t active on the party. In cases where I switch out a member I need for element coverage, I use the velvet room to fuse or summon a persona that I need. But in most cases I usually go for critical hits anyway so all I bring usually is a persona with charge and revolution. If not then concentrate and any megi-variants.

I think the best party at the moment is Ken, Koromaru and Akihiko. - Ken: busted theurgy and being a good healer with 2 elements. - Koromaru: partywide charge theurgy, debilitate, dual element with 2 amps, and some god tier equipment. He dodges like a god and hits hard with his dark magic, while being a great support. - Akihiko: his passive characteristic is actually crazy, the increase to buff effectiveness make the buffs on him crazy strong. With all the buffs active he hits like a truck, takes barely any damage, and evades most attacks. Give him a weapon with Strike Amp and he will hit harder than the main character. The only negative is lack of AOE, but we already have 3 party members who can do it (MC can literally do all the AOE you need himself too if you build him right). In the last two zones of Tartarus I did the same thing every single time: Main character with auto matarukaja casts marakunda on the enemies, and then Akihiko does either of his theurgies depending on the boss, then clean up with Koromaru and ken if there is anything left. I basically skipped all the floor guardians and monad bosses this way, I don't even know what moves half of them do because they didn't get to attack me a single time. Akihiko is just that strong. And yes, I play on Merciless. The game is way too easy...

@tantricoath10 ай бұрын
I agree with Koromaru and Yukari probably being the two best party members in the game. Koromaru being the fastest party member (outside of using skill cards and MC) and having revolution and later on debilitate, as well as having two element coverage with Fire and Dark, makes him so useful. His only downside is that he burns through SP, but that's not much of an issue as I find SP management in this game super easy and I have a shitload of items to replenish it with, not including the grand clock. Yukari is great for the fact that she is the best healer and can later reduce the cost of them by 75%, as well as wind, which seems to be a very common elemental weakness to come across. Finally, the fact that she can build up a nuke and group concentrate just by healing the party 2 to 3 times is amazing. However, I think Junpei is so underwhelming. First of all MC is better for critical hits by a mile as you get Siegfried so early and later have guaranteed critical hits when using Heavens Blade (Uriel and Michael) with all critical buffs, where as with Junpei you need to to unlock his second characteristic level to unlock Critical Amp which replaces his critical boost then you have to give him the omega drive to give him apt pupil to double his critical rate and finally you have to buff him with revolution or rebellion to up his critical rate which he can't do without an item, but his item slot is already taken and even then with brave blade he has less critical chance than the MC can get on one persona without items or 6 hangout events. Second, his magic is useless as obviously he is a physical build, but for me, he is even more useless as I have Koromaru, who is a mainstay in my party and has Maragidyne with fire amp. Finally, if I want a physical DPS, I'd rather have Aigis, as she has damage buffs from her characteristics and is near immortal come end game. However, my third is a mix between Mitsuru and Aigis, or Shinjiro. If I need magic DPS, I go with Mitsuru. If I need physical DPS, I go with Aigis or Shinjiro. Its a shame about Junpei, as His second Theurgy is the best-looking party member Theurgy in the game.
@Forrest47710 ай бұрын
Comparing any party member to MC is silly because he can do all their jobs but better. You could make the same arguments about all of them. I personally like him on my team because critical hit strategies are very powerful and he gets crazy return on those strategies when some other characters don't. But there are many ways to be successful at this game and I think this revision has all of the characters be good at their jobs
@helpihavebats63924 ай бұрын
Junpei is consistently the best non Mc party member in terms of Damage through the whole game. Torrent Shot is not far off of Deathbound in effective base power and basically no one can challenge his Blade of Fury. Hack n Blast is also the Strongest Theurgy in the game. Its literally the exact same as Scarelt Havoc in base power but Junpeis Crit Amp is a massive power Boost that the Mc cannot match without DLC. Also Ken is way better than Yukari as a healer and its not even complicated. Ken can use Divine Intervention every 2-3 turns and Yukari cannot match that level of support. Ken also does more damage due to Kougaons 350 power to Garudynes 220.
