    Approaching 252.
    So Monad... do I get access to it if I reach the top before 1/31, or is it some 'post-game' thing? Six days to go. I wish I had more time to max out S Links. :|
    Monad opens up once you reach the top of the normal scope of Tartarus. It's accessed through a gate in the back of the Tartarus Lobby.

    Hey, (October 5th question):
    If my teammate's personas become Ascenant before they learn all their skills, am I shooting myself in the foot?

    No. When a Persona ascends, it merely gains more skills on top of the ones it hasn't learned. Nothing gets overwritten.

    Ok, so if I still have skills to learn, they'll still learn them? Cool.

    God dammit. Is there any way to protect against charm? That damn floor boss on 110 keeps casting Sexy Dance and hitting my ENTIRE PARTY.

    A Narcissus? (the naked dryad girl persona) with a heart item will give you an accessory that blocks Charm.

    Narcissus is actually a guy. Yeah.

    Edit: Oh my, I seem to be somewhat tardy in my rejoinder.

    Isn't that the two-in-one tank thing? I had a bit of trouble with that one as well. My party was Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Aigis. Mitsuru and Akihiko just blasted away with their respective elements, while Aigis just hit it with Kill Rush and Swift Strike. Heal when necessary. I was around level...30, I think.

    for that fight, once they both get weak, set everyone to wait mode so you can then set them to kill it once it becomes 1 again. This way they won't revive it.

    So, now that it seems like a good amount of you guys are getting to play with all the end game Personae I've got a question.

    Is it just me or do the physical skills in this game really really suck? I mean in DDS you had Ragnarok, in Nocturne you had uhh... Gaea's something or other. Those abilities actually owned face and you didn't feel bad about wasting a third of your total health casting em.

    Here though,
    God's Hand and Tempest Slash
    were the most powerful abilities I encountered and they would do about 100 damage more then a regular attack. That's not using a mastery ability or a weapon from the Monad.

    On the other hand you amp, boost and accessorize a Ziodyne and your out 12 mp and your looking around 600 damage a pop.

    Was I missing some sort of nuance here? Anyone figure out how to make melee skills competitive with magic?

    The best physical combination I've found so far is Akasha Arts + Power Charge(Bishamouten).

    Oh, and on Satan...
    I could be wrong, but why does his outline look like a mecha? I'm still about five levels short of being able to fuse him.

    Be Aigis.


    In all seriousness, no, I don't think the physical attacks scale nearly as well in this as the previous games. Damned shame, too.

    Well Power Charging an attack doesn't count since you can just as easily Mind Charge your spell and it's a wash.

    Akasha art's unfortunately isn't better for single target damage then Tempest Slash so yeah... I just don't see physical attacks really being a contender in this game like they used to, even ignoring the HP cost of it all.

    Thats how Satan Looked in DDS2. I guess it doesn't really answer why he looks like he does though.

    Edit: Oh I did use Aigis. She was a permanent member of my party since I got her but damn if she wasn't so awesome I woulda benched her so hard. She couldn't even compete with Yuka in terms of DPS.

    Actually the 5th shadow uses a 'Ruin' spell to cause everyone to be a-scaredededed.

    It's annoying as hell as I can't cure more than one person at a time, that is if I'm not too 'afraid' to have a turn.

    The worst is when you're entire party just got hit by a big attack rather then casting Mediarama which would top everyone up no problem the AI decides to cast Diaharan leaving the rest of your team on the cusp of death.

    I hate being forced to use my main as a healer.

    It's just an item, you should get lots in chests or buy them from the local drugstore. They appear in stores after you reach L12.
