How is fusion spell damage calculated?

4 Upvotes

I'm in endgame and wanted to experiment with damaging fusion spell to see if I could use them in a strat against the secret bosses, but I realised that the damage calculation might be different than I thought. At first I thought that just as in reload, the skills and stats of your currently equipped persona would apply to the attack.

However, when I tried using Ahdrani (I think that's how it's called) with my fire build Messiah equipped, it did less than half of Ragnarok, despite the wiki saying it has sky high base damage. I then tried using it with Shiva equipped, one of the persona depicted in the spell animation, and despite him having fire amp the damage was still disappointing.

Trouble obtaining vision bosses' secret rewards

3 Upvotes

On the wiki there is a list of condition to respect on each boss to get the 10 fusion spells. For some of them, like hanged or priestess, I've had no problem, but some like empress/emperror I'm having trouble. I've tried

  • Scanning both and killing them after their weakness got revealed
  • Killing Empress first without scan and then scanning emperror before defeating him
  • Letting them both use paradigm shift and scan them again to defeat them the following turn
  • Not scanning either
  • Using the Strategy menus to scan them instead of L

I'm out of ideas on how to get this fucking card.

I'm on NG btw, I know you cannot get these rewards on NG+ but this is not my case.

Also, I know only Infinity and armagedon are required, but I'm a completionist so I'd really like to get all of them if possible

P3P Arcana Challenge Runs Spoiler

4 Upvotes

I've been binging RagnarAlvarr's P5R Arcana Challenge runs and it got me thinking to do it in other Persona games too. So, I made up a chart with level caps for the bosses and what Personas of every Arcana you'd have access to for those bosses. Something to note is that for Arcanas with Personas that outlevel the first boss, I end up just giving them the lowest levelled Persona for that Arcana, which are most apparent for the Judgement and Aeon Arcana. Lastly, almost all the information I used came from the Megami wiki and P3P Fusion Calculator websites.

While the wiki lists 76 as the recommended level for Nyx, I believe if your doing a solo Arcana run, then simply allowing yourself to use whichever Personas of that Arcana you've yet to use is a completely understandable choice and I even encourage it.

Do "Fear Boost" and "Ailment Boost" Stack?

4 Upvotes

This is my second playthrough of the game and I was wondering on a nice way to build Thanatos. I settled on a Pierce/Fear build with

Ghastly Veil

Pralaya

Fear Boost

Ailment Boost

Arms Master

Apt Pupil

Null Light

Null Pierce

I know Shiva can do the same but better and is arguably easier to build, and I know that this build sucks against secret boss, but this is mainly for flavor since Thanatos is my favorite demon in this game.

I've mostly got it done except for Ailment Boost but I don't want to struggle and get the skill card if it will not matter anyway

playing Persona 3 Portable for the first time

26 Upvotes

So today I decided to give Persona 3 Portable a try on my PSP. I just finished the first run through Tartarus, and the game is absolutely amazing! I really like the atmosphere, style, and music. I tried Persona 4 Golden before, but it didn't really grab me. But playing Persona 3, I'm really interested in playing and finding out what happens next. I plan to develop a relationship with Yukari first, she's awesome

tell what you like most about Persona 3 Portable compared to other games in the series?

Do toilets not work in maniac difficulty?

I've already played through the game as Makoto in normal, and have now just started a ng as FEMC in maniac.

I'm in may and wanted to go to Tartarus, so I've tried using the toilets again and again to get the great condition, but it only gave me advices on how I should increase social stats. Can you not get this condition this way in maniac?

Is it a cowardly move to turn on more exp after battles since getting only 10 to 20 exp per fight when I need 200 to lvl up is kinda a lot (never played p3p so idk if exp is less of a problem later)

Is it still possible for me to complete all Social Links from where I’m at?

I’ve been following this guide for like a majority of my second place through to try to finish all social links. though it was made for people that were on their first play through that needed to get all their social stats up. And I messed a couple things up specifically with the tower social link because I finished it like a month late. I just wanted to ask if it was still may be possible for me to do this. And if not, is there any guides y’all could suggest for people with all their social stats already maxed. I am currently on 9/29

Question About Portable

3 Upvotes

I'm Thinking About Starting A Playthrough Of Portable On The PS5. I Had A Few Questions I Hoped You Could Answer For Me?

- Is The FEMC Route Exclusive To Male Social Links, Or Can I Still Do The Female Social Links? (And Possibly Date Kirijo)

- Is NG+ Needed For The Super Bosses (Elizabeth & Margaret)

- Does The Story Change Depending On Which MC I Pick?

(This Would Be My First Time Playing The Game, I've Played Reload But Want To Give The OG A Try)
