Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers Akane's Joker boss fight PC and Switch.

Remember when everyone thought that this was going to be Joker corrupted or his Shadow? Good times.

[@roger_towny_jr]

Head cannon: Half way through the fight, Skull and Mona catch eachother complaining how strong their opponent is, and they're both like, "Please, I could kick your ass any day." At which point, the light bulb goes off, they switch opponents and fulfill their dreams of kicking eachothers asses.

What would've been neat is that you could keep your PMs, and everytime you Baton Pass to another Teammate, the shadows would do the same so that you'd fight the corresponding faker shadows depending on your team layout. What we got with Joker V Joker was still fun, but if they included the baton pass thing into it, it would've made for a neat fight

I was so hyped but then it sunk because we didn't fight all the shadow phantom thieves 😞

[@jackmadiaga8907]

The first time i saw this boss i was like "wait. Morgana said that we should take out the shadows one by one. Does this mean i need to fight each shadow replica using the originals? Good god im done for." As by this point i was very confident that as joker, haru, makoto, or ann i can easily win as they were all above level 60 equiped with the best weapons and armor i can get during that time. But the rest? They still have their default accessory much left leveled up enough to even scratch the boss. Thankfully you only needed to fight the joker replica. If you were meant to fight the entire team then im sure a lot of people would be stuck at this boss for a bit.

[@kuronyra1709]

I honestly wouldn'd have minded a possibility of facing each phantom thieves cognitions. Maybe as a bonus, since you can redo final jail boss fight, they could have made a special one for this.

[@SylDragonia]

I liked fighting joker solo but it would have been more fun if we could fight one on one with each shadow not only joker. Not complaining just for fun.

[@Verdugo_Arulaq]

I like how the Fake Thieves posed, Akane probably doesn’t know their personalities too well so she has them pose how she thinks they would Fake Panther for instance is going a cat pose probably cause her attire, Fake Queen is flexing as she thinks she’s a strong fighter (she is) and Fake Noir I actually have no idea how she came up with that pose for Noir when it’s more of a pose for Panther but whatever.

[@jackmadiaga8907]

@@raezor6941 buffs, debuffs, and ailments can be a god send during hard battles and boss fights. Increasing attack, defense or evasion can make a battle easier and with proper use of personas you can basically make sure your enemy never attacks or even move during the entire fight. For example i was easily able to beat the fake joker without taking a single bit of damage. How? Use fusion to get a persona with dormina (make enemies sleep) sleep boost (increases the chances of sleep) and ailment boost (increase all ailment chances). Just use dormina on him and while sleeping, boost attack. Debuff enemy defense. Then throw everything at him. Once he starts to wake up again. Just put him back to sleep. Even while being hit enemies stay asleep so that thing can be abused alot. Even against dire shadows and powerful shadows. Though it doesnt work on bosses.

How can I defeat Shadow Joker because I still kept getting my ass kicked so many times

[@guywithrevolver]

a bit late but a good tactic is the keep your distance from fake joker and use your gun attack which shouldn't cost any bullets. Your special gun attack allows you to phantom dash up close and get some good hits in. Also anytime fake joker is not attacking is the only time he's able to be hit so you can run up to him, hit him a couple of times, and dash away. Only use your persona's for stat buff's and healing.

[@whitewolf2914]

I’m struggling a lot with this fight any tips? I got the shadow down to a sliver of HP but I died

[@dx_Rain_xb]

Idk if you're still stuck or progressed, but I got a few tips based on my experience: 1.) Persona's may inflict ailments, but your opponent is not weak to any of the damage types, so conserve and use your Persona's wisely. 2.) Lock on to your target and watch his attacks. If he shoots, close the gap and get your hits in. If he lunges at you and starts his attack sequence (or combo), interrupt his attacks by shooting him and go ham after a follow up attack. 3.) Watch your surroundings, he can also do a phantom dash and attack from the poles, so keep your eyes on him and the poles. That's about it, hope it helps
