Phantom Mage Weakness in Persona 3 Reload

Once you’ve found yourself a Phantom Mage boss in a Monad Passage, you can start implementing a battle strategy that exploits its vulnerabilities. The enemy’s weaknesses and resistances are as follows:

Although you’re able to still get damage on the Phantom Mage with Electric attacks, it is better to use them alongside Light attacks. With that said,focus on using mostly Wind attackson this enemy to deplete its health. Thebest S.E.E.S team memberto bring along for dealing Wind damage will beYukari, who can also help to restore the team’s health as well.

Depending on where you are at in the game in terms of level, Yukari will most likely have access toGarula or Magarula,which are two Wind skills that will deal medium Wind damage to the enemy. These skills will be best against the Phantom Mage and will make the battle very straightforward. Along with Yukari, you can utilize any Personas the main character has with Wind abilities,such asSandman, Kushi Mitama, Clotho, andAngel, who can be found in the Thebel Block.

Aigiscan be another great addition to the team, as she has a fewPhysical skills that can deal damage, and some skills that will increase your party’s Attack or Defense. As for the last member you’ll want to add, you may choose between eitherMitsuruorJunpei,as they will both just be there to provide additional Physical or Ice damage.Most of your attacks will come from Yukari and the main character, so the additional characters you bring are mostly up to you. You’ll want to verify you’restocked up with some consumablesas well togive your team some buffs or debuff the Phantom Mage.
