These Are My Most Used & End Game Persona Builds for Merciless in Persona 3 Reload

[@RozalinGaming]

So this video is waaaaaaay overdue -- I actually had it all recorded just after I finished my Merciless run. But then I got side-tracked playing Mini-game Fantasy VII Ubisoftberth... *cough* I mean Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Anyways, I know it's super late but hopefully you still find it useful. -- Roz

[@RozalinGaming]

@@celestialkitsune the Ubisoft mention is because Square's approach at an open world was to use the 'activate a tower to populate points on a map for you to go to and do activity' instead of a more organic approach like Elden Ring; to me it felt very lazy and made the world feel much smaller.

​@@RozalinGamingplease can you make all tutorial fuse persona how you make it. Its cool man

[@DylanLey]

Would definitely love to see dedicated build videos on the entrance buffers and utility persona builds!

[@TheLastVicar]

for real lol

[@princeofpeace6432]

That’s so smart putting all invigorate skills on your auto buff persona

9:01 "it was at this point everyone lost faith" not me with my god's hand strike user alice lol

[@MrSkyrese]

Thanks so much for this. I'm pretty much at the end and had no real idea of what personas to use but I have real good options sir. Thanks so much!!!

[@valerielim7394]

This is so helpful! Which persona would you reccomend most for boss killing? Would love to see a video for that!

[@glc704]

well satan with black viper + almighy boost/amp + concentrate + single target boost + spell master seems good

[@Skyver24]

Not sure how many of these you’re willing to make their own videos, they all look interesting honestly (Especially that Alice 🗿). But if it could only be a few then personally I would love to see how you made your Thanatos, Vishnu, Satan, and Orpheus Telos

[@RozalinGaming]

The Alice was done entirely with skill cards, lol.

[@Skyver24]

What block of Tartarus can you start finding those specifically? Or is there a website you use that already tells you that information

[@RozalinGaming]

@@Skyver24 The -dyne tier AoE skills are rank 11 so it will be in the last couple of areas.

[@austincredible8301]

Are you sure you did a video on the Flauros? I ran through your prior build videos and didn’t catch it. Really appreciate your videos!

[@RozalinGaming]

I must not have. Thought I did since I have all of the files for it.

[@liamtrusty9928]

I don’t know if you’re still making build videos but this flauros build is really good. It’s really easy to get all 3 auto-kaja on flauros I would recommend getting tower (the monk) to level 6 and fusing whatever auto-taru persona with another to get genbu who has auto-raku before fusing genbu with Fortuna to get Eligor, eligor will then have 2 auto-kaja and will also level up and get life aid and once you have eligor u fuse flauros and he has auto-suku already and you then have a crit-machine with 3 auto-kaja and life aid. It’s a mid-game dungeon crawling machine

[@liamtrusty9928]

Even better though you can start with setanta and get charge on this build

[@frankwest5388]

Some misinformation to clear up at 2:19 you say you can’t get resist elect at that point. This is wrong. You can get resist elect from the lowest level Hierophant persona Okimane (the floating brain) if you level it to level 10, starting from 7. It’s the earliest resist ability you can get and you can pass it on. Fun fact because of that the lowest level persona with no weakness you can fuse is Forneus, by passing the resist elec from Okimane fused with Slime (lvl 12) to Archangel and then fuse downwards with a Pixie to Forneus. Alternatively if you don’t want to go down and still want a no weakness persona you can fuse the Archangel with a Lilim to make Nigi Mitama with no weakness

[@RozalinGaming]

I believe you are confusing Shock Resist with Elec Resist -- Shock Resist only provides resistance to the Shock status ailment whereas Elec Resist provides resistance to the elec damage type, a very important distinction as resistance to the damage type will negate a Persona's weakness to that damage type. The earliest possible time you can get Resist Elec, barring a lucky skill transformation on fusion, is from level 26 Sandman. Omoikane DOES NOT learn Resist Elec. Omoikane: - Zio (Innate) - Dia (Innate) - Rebellion (Level 8) - Resist Shock (Level 10) - Auto Rakukaja (Level 12) That is everything Omoikane learns. Now, Sarasvati can first be made at level 32, so Sandman at 26 is possible; however, this would have required grinding to get a Sandman to level 26 which would have taken awhile given my Fortune S-Link wasn't high enough to provide a bunch of free levels on fusion, hence I said it wasn't possible to get for me at that point (i.e. when I made it).

[@frankwest5388]

@@RozalinGaming my bad. I got the two confused.

[@edwinoooo]

we need those end game shiva & thanatos builds😱

[@SmaustinsMusic]

Bishamonten goated

[@bracken8782]

one thing I liked using is Messiah with Vorpal Blade, Brave Blade, Crit rate boost + amp, and apt pupil, with a maxed out luck stat, which gave me critical hits left and right. It wasn't fully optimized since I instead put charge and debilitate on it instead of slash boost and slash amp, but it was still easily my strongest persona. I also could have given that build to Orpheus Telos, but Messiah reflects light and dark, so I wouldn't have to deal with instakill attacks.

[@RozalinGaming]

So, maxed luck actually doesn't do anything when going for high crits late game since Brave Blade + Crit Rate Amp + Apt Pupil hits the crit. rate cap.

[@bracken8782]

@@RozalinGaming Wait, it doesn't? Huh, guess I don't need it. Well, I guess crit rate boost + amp did help before I got Messiah to max luck.

[@alex-sh5ed]

How much do stats matter for the MC? Is it worth having a Persona with max stats? Also loved the format of this vid and those were some pretty unique builds!

[@RozalinGaming]

Stats and skills on Persona make up almost all of a character's power -- weapons and armor only contribute so much. Armor obviously helps to reduce damage or increase dodge rating with boots, but the value of your equipped Persona's En will be the more important factor. For weapons, the attack stat on them is only relevant for normal attacks and All-out Attacks -- skills are completely unaffected. That all being said, there is 0 reason to try and max all stats in this game.

[@ishimarumakot0]

I would love a guide for all the end game personas. I tried to use a calculator but none let you pass the abilities you want and create a chain to pass

[@GamesPlayedCasuallyHardcore]

You might not have used the calculator correctly. Once you select an ability type, you can then pick ANY ability except the few unique ones.

[@veiotisligon9140]

Yeah Fortuna was my go to early on for knock downs and shifts

[@johanortiz4659]

I would like to see their own video for end game person build like Lucifer,Shiva, Asura, helel and Messiah please !!!!

Yep. A link to all my P3R videos is in the video description.

[@martinwigham]

Would love to see your take on builds for the other party members. Obviously there isn't as much choice but would still be cool

[@Bocchi_Pinkman]

Need the Scathach and Vishnu builds please my king 🙏

[@Oren_Plays]

Can all of these besides the alice be made purely through fusing or are all these builds assuming you also got lucky with skill cards and skill transformations during fusion?

[@RozalinGaming]

Almost all past the mid-game levels require skill cards due to only being able to pass down so many skills via fusion. As for skill transformations, outside of maybe 2 exceptions I never made use of it, and one of those was just to get an Amp + Boost combo early.

[@demokro7115]

i know i am super late to the party but i would love too see how to fuse those entrance buffers i dont have any yet what takes time because i need to buff team so that it at last 3 turns of damag that i lose x_x haha

[@SaucedUpStinkyGrandpa]

I would love a build video for these personas.

[@SakahokoNoAma]

Dude is so prepared that Nyx would be effectively not unwinable anymore

[@RozalinGaming]

Most of my end-game Persona I made just because. For the Nyx fight I really only used 1, maybe it was 2? Sadly the fight is really easy even on Merciless so preparing a bunch of Persona like I did is actually a waste of time LOL.

[@SakahokoNoAma]

@@RozalinGaming It's still pleasant to be overpowered lol, The remake was my first Persona. Really appreciated that story

[@GamesPlayedCasuallyHardcore]

Was there no light damage end game persona for you?

[@RozalinGaming]

I guess not. Didn't even think about until your comment, lol. Honestly most of the end-game element Persona I didn't use at all even though I made them as they just weren't necessary.

[@steppedonmyglasses]

Can you do a guide on Elizabeth fight?

[@Nine6all]

Thank you for making this video!! My question is how are you able to fuse these persona and give them any ability in the game. I understand you have to pass abilities from persona to persona but it seems incredibly tedious and difficult to understand using fusion calculators. I would love to have an explanation for that or even a video on understanding how to create the perfect persona or easily pass down any ability with ease. Thanks again I love your content.

[@kuromewtwo115]

basically there are 2 sides and they show what personas to fuse with what along with what to pass down and the last persona you fuse on each side are what you fuse together to get the final result like 99% of the time as long as you pass things down correctly and you may need to sack some moves in the build for skill cards

[@daycore_enjoyer]

What was your main party and their builds?

[@Khalood94]

Is there a way to transfer Panta Rhei on to Zoro because he has his Wind Drive aka 75% wind attack Boost

[@TheInfiniteDraw]

Does Crit boost and Crit amp stack? Initially people thought they did, but recently people have been saying they don’t.

[@RozalinGaming]

They do stack, but there is a crit. cap. Apt Pupil + Crit. Rate Amp + a skill w/ innate crit. rate will either hit or get very close depending on how much the skill's innate crit. rate is.

[@SilcoSelinia]

@@RozalinGaming they don't stack, there's a datamined google doc showing that crit rate boosts effect is cancelled if amp is present

[@RozalinGaming]

@@SilcoSelinia The dataminer must have read the data wrong then because extensive testing (over 2000 times per build hitting the same enemy) shows a noticeable increase when using both Boost and Amp vs. just Amp or just Boost.

[@JJrader608]

How did you get light amp on Thoth

[@chapter_black3234]

Said he got lucky in a spell change and that was the reason for the build

It is not.

Pass down the other 4 AoE variants that Anubis doesn't learn, then skill card the rest. Alternatively you can pass 3 elements plus Life Aid and skill card the rest.

@@RozalinGaming wow, I didn’t expect you’d reply. I really appreciate it! I’ll do it this weekend when I play. Thank you!

[@SubmitToTheBiomass]

My biggest complaint about this game is how backloaded it is. By the time you can make all these really cool personas, there's literally no reason to except for shits and giggles. And the only halfway challenging fight remaining actively punishes you for it.

[@RozalinGaming]

Sadly that is unique to P3R and is just JRPG in a nutshell. :/

[@calpyy]

How are you making these builds? when i fuse these end game personas it only lets me have 4 skills so it ruins my builds idk what to do

[@RozalinGaming]

4 skills is max unless it's a fusion that uses 3+ Persona. In cases where I need more than 4 or 5 skills I use skill cards.

[@jamesbrandon6400]

I find it funny how no in knows how to to say cu chulainn😂 no shade ofc

[@RozalinGaming]

I use the Japanese pronunciation since I don't know the Irish pronunciation.

[@narutofan4545]

Why so many multi element personas

[@RozalinGaming]

One for early game, two for mid-game, two for late-to-end-game. I explain my reasoning for having a ST and AoE version in the video as well, but basically it's because of SP efficiency.

[@narutofan4545]

@@RozalinGaming would it not be beneficial to do two elements per persona instead?

[@RozalinGaming]

@@narutofan4545 there is no real advantage since the multi-element Persona are only for exploring Tartarus -- you have one ST and one AoE and swap between them based on which is more efficient for the encounter. On bosses and stronger enemies you then use a dedicated one-element Persona; 2-3 element Persona don't really give any benefit and take up more of your stock that could be for support Persona or things you are leveling with Growth for future builds.
