Persona 3 Portable Venus Eagle (FeMC Solo, Hard)
This will be a FeMC Solo Run challenge done on Persona 3 Portable's Hard Mode. Why Persona 3 Portable and Hard mode?
- In FES, the way Knock Down works make most early game encounter a lot less threatening if the player can exploit weaknesses and keep the enemies stun-locked.
- The ability to change weapon type significantly changes how certain encounters are approached and can make them much easier(ie weapon that has the effect that boosts damage output against certain Shadow type or just the elemental weapon from weapon fusion).
- No resist armor to remove weaknesses for early game or reduce damage taken while stacking with the Resist properties on Persona, except for the ultimate armor.
- Based on observation, Maniac Mode and Hard Mode are more or less the same in term of damage multiplier, however Maniac Mode lowers critical hit damage for player from 2x to 1.5x, while drastically increased the chance of luck-based attacks(ie ailments) working for the enemy. This is to point where Resist Ailment and instant-kill effect, no longer provide a noticeable benefit, which simply leads to more grinding for Null passives.
Rule-set:
- Keep FeMC's Level as close to the boss' level, to avoid completely steam-rolling the bosses due to Level Scaling.
- Avoid the use of Skill Cards
- No stats raising
Enemy changes going from FES to Portable:
- The Eagle received a buff to their Endurance stats, going from 4 to 12. Everything else remained the same.
We officially starts our journey, and the first Tartarus is already proving to be quite the challenge. Without the ability to change the MC's attack type to Pierce, the best course of action, without over-leveling to get Single Shot, is to fuse Alp with Bufu at Level 6.
With three Eagles and no way to stun-lock them or exploit their weakness, only attack if the three Eagles uses only Garu that actually hits the FeMC, else she will not have enough HP to tank the incoming attacks. This fight is somewhat rely on good RNG as Cadenza needs to provide good number of Evasion, use Muscle Drink to restore HP needs to not Poison the FeMC, the Eagles cannot critical hit, any of these factor not lining up can result in a nigh impossible run to get pass even one Eagle. Luckily once there is two left, the odds become a bit better, just keep the FeMC's HP above half and attack whenever possible.

      Phase 1 you Oracle for charge effects or reset -> Hit with Magic once then you pray her affinities line up so you can use Vorpal Blade with Great Boost. You basically need every turn to hit with vorpal blade AND they almost all need to crit. You can use Best Friends to buff etc if a turn works out unfavourably but essentially you reset till about 7/9 Vorpal Blades crit at minimum. Phase 2 pray you can get enraged and do a ton of damage (My attempt only got raged at the end of the phase but 2 turns both double crit just scraped into phase 3. Realistically you want to massively over damage this phase. Phase 3 you're using fire so pray every turn she ends with ice so you can hit her otherwise spam almighty gems. Pray for good luck and the better phase 2 pans out the less annoying this phase is. Phase 4 pray she starts vorpal blading and you can repel with mirrors Armageddon when under 9999 (Possibly doable without Armageddon but inhuman odds for perfect damage rolls, all crits, exact AI behaviour every turn.

      The AI was, IMO, programmed to be pretty competent in term of choosing the optimal offensive options. Two notable examples that I can think of are the Junpei & Koromaru fight and the Erebus. In my previous playthrough, after scanning Koromaru, despite giving Metis the Vayu Bracers, she would still go for Bufudyne from time to time, this made me test out Ice skills and learned that the Metis is going for Bufudyne because Ice damage is given a damage multiplier on Koromaru. Erebus is another example, the AI knows to only use physical attacks while Erebus is in Offensive Mode, and switch over to Magic(yes even Metis with her abysmal magic stat) when Erebus uses Dark Embrace, simply because they knew there is a damage reduction applied to the respective forms of Erebus. The same cannot be said about their Heal/Support counter part, especially the usage of multi-target healing and the usage of Break spells in The Answer. The biggest offender of the Break spell usage would be the Rebellious Cyclops encounter where Mitsuru and Yukari, while set on Heal/Support, would try to use Break spells on ALL of the enemies on the field and waste their SP in the process, which may or may not be beneficial to party's ability to take down the enemies.

    @yuzu7361 4 місяці тому

    Overall, The Answer IMO is not too bad. - Compared to the Journey's Guardian-Type enemies, The Answer is a bit more lenient on the usage of Ailment skills, especially Virus Breath, in fact the only Guardian-Type enemy that is immune to any form of Ailments are the Musha Trio. - Dodge/Evade passive IMO feels kind like the Dev's attempt to replicate the feel of SMT's Press-Turn where the Player needs to weigh their situation before trying to exploit a weakness. - EXP gain seems pretty generous provided the Player is relatively on or slightly below the enemies' level in the Dungeon. However The Answer's gameplay isn't without its flaws. - The lack Persona Compendium really hamper's Player's ability to experiment with different strategies. - The AI's choice of action on Heal/Support after learning the Break skills is really annoying. In fact, it is safe to replace the Marin Karin meme with the AI using Break skills, consider the AI will refuse to use healing skills unless someone is at critical HP while there is a valid target to use the Break skills on. - Despite finding a use for the 'Assign Target' bug, it is still a programming bug that causes Confusions. The Final Tally for the usage of each party members, not including the Colosseo Purgatorio part: - Akihiko: 2 battles, not as useful in The Answer compared to the Journey due to most early enemies blocks Zio, and Ice being a hard weakness to cover for end game. - Junpei: 3 battles, a couple of enemies being weak to Fire, plus his specialization in dealing with Magician and Priestess enemies with his normal attack due to 2h-Sword can deal increased damage to these Arcana Type enemies. - Koromaru: 3 battles, earliest to learn his Single-Target -Dyne and Multi-Target -Dyne spell with innate Fire Boost passive. Agility buff and his high Agility stats can somewhat offset the enemies' Evade skills skills. - Mitsuru: 3 battles, high reliable magic damage output where needed, especially in cancelling Erebus' Dark Embrace. - Metis: 3 battles, the exclusive party member of The Answer is pretty versatile, however what prevented Metis from being used more is due to: pretty much a lot of Guardian-Type bosses resist physical attacks; the abysmal magic stats makes her magic only useful for knocking down the enemies instead of doing any meaningful damage without Magic boosting accessories. - Zero for Ken and Yukari unfortunately :(

      Ken was a great party member in a regular playthrough, however in the context of this challenge run, there are better options. Some notable examples: - Neo Minotaur ~ Akihiko can output much higher damage Elec damage than Ken could with his Innate Elec Boost + Indra Bracers, and Akihiko learns Ziodyne 2 levels sooner than Ken. - Spastic Turret Encounter ~ Akihiko has multi-target Elec spells, so the 'Assign Target' bug would allow him to target all enemies instead of just one, plus same with Neo Minotaur, Akihiko's Elec damage would be higher than Ken's. - Conceited Maya ~ Koromaru despite his lower Magic stats would still be able to output higher damage than Ken, since Koromaru can have both Boost + Amp with the use of the Bracers accessory whereas Ken would just get Amp. - Rebellious Cyclops Encounter ~ Acheron Seeker would relentless target Ken's Dark weakness, unless it is covered by the Ring of Darkness or the Dark Feather accessory obtained from Shuffle Time. Koromaru shares the same problem where an accessory slot needs to be sacrificed, however Koromaru has access to Fire Boost and an Innate immunity to Fire which means at least he can block off Acheron Seekr's Fire damage. Ken would have to tank both Fire and Wind damage from the Seeker. Ken's lack of the element dedication is a hindrance in the context of this challenge run. I assume you got past the Reckoning Dice in your Low Level run?

      This combo can be potentially deadly, if the player get knocked down and got Poisoned by the enemy, not only the Player needs to spend one turn getting back up, Poison would take away 20% of the maximum HP.

    In case anyone is curious on how to trigger this bug, here are the conditions: 1. Your ally can exploit a weakness on the enemy 2. Your ally has the corresponding multi-targeting spell to the weakness To my knowledge this seems to be the only way for your AI ally to use a multi-targeting move for exploiting a group with the same weakness, and Metis does not seems to be affected by this bug.

      Well since you have the Chidori fight coming up, you can use that fight to grind for one Ring of Serenity. This prevents one character from being Enraged and the others you can use Weapon Fusion to increase their resistance to Rage. With this setup, the chance of your party members getting Enraged is significantly reduced. All that is left is to wait for the Dice to Enrage the MC.

    Some afterthought on this run: This run gives me an excuse to show off some more obscure mechanics in this game, such as Ailments to neutralize some of the tougher Tartarus Guardians, Weapon that does bonus damage to certain Arcana enemies, and the Inari Shrine(indirectly with my 32 Soma and 22 Bead Chain Lol). - Weapon that provides bonus damage to certain Arcana Enemies, really give player an incentive to try out different Weapon Type, and different party member. Since each weapon type can only inflict bonus damage to certain type of Arcana enemies. Before this run, there was not an incentive for me to use the Heavy Class weapon due to its low accuracy, slow swing speed and small hitbox in the Tartarus, however for this run the bonus damage provided can a difference between winning a fight due to the increased damage output, or a slog-fest where the enemies just stalls me out long enough to go for the kill. Notable example being the Carnal Snake, and the Jotun of Grief. - The Inari Shrine, in a run like this, is the only way to farm really good healing items, such as Bead Chains, Soma, and the Amrita Water. For anyone, wanting to do a no Social Link run, this will be probably where the MC would spend their daytime at, as this shrine can also shorten the amount grind needed in Tartarus by increasing EXP gain, increasing Money earned during Shuffle Time, and increasing the drop rate from enemies when farming for Gems. This Shrine can also boost a random stats on your party member by 4 Points! Though with this challenge run, also highlights some shortcoming for the game-play of FES: - While the AI controlled party member is mostly fine, however this run kind of highlights the inflexibility of the Tactics Menus. With a full team, each party member is designated a specific role, and it worked fine for the most part. With just two party members, the planned out role might not be the most optimal one after the enemies have taken their turn. Notable example being the Hanged Man boss where to prevent Yukari from bring the Hanged Boss backup, Assign Target was used, however the MC misses one of the statue. - FES also does a very poor job of telling the player whether a Ailment move will work on a Guardian, since it displays 'Miss' on pretty much everything other than inflicted. The player have no idea whether it is Blocked or simply bad RNG, leading to potentially the player never bother trying out those attacks again, even though it might be the key to trivializing certain fights that would have been Hellish. Funny enough, in Vanilla Persona 3 Third Eye WILL work on Guardians. It inform the player on which attack would and would not work based on a very ancient Vanilla Persona 3 play-through on UA-cam. Some Party Member usage count: - Akihiko: 10 battles, early game great for tanking the Electricity spamming enemies, and maintains its usefulness with his debuffs for Mid to Late game enemies. - Yukari: 9 battles, really useful for the numerous Wind users in the early game and the Hanged Man Boss, however toward Mid to Late Game, her HP pool combined with low Endurance leaves so much to be desired. - Junpei: 8 battles, despite not surviving the Final Boss, nevertheless his Marakukaja was invaluable. - Ken: 4 battles, there to eat up turns for the two Light using Guardians, and being a Spear user means the last two Tartarus can be hit with bonus damage with the right Spear. - Koromaru: 3 battles, surprisingly managed to use Koromaru thrice, Koromaru just seems to be the perfect counter to both Jin 1 and Chidori. - Mitsuru: 2 battles, could not find many battles where I can fit her in. Shares a similar problem to Yukari with her low Endurance and HP. - Aigis: 1 battle, her skillsets are just not as useful for this run, though Nyx Avatar can technically have her in the party instead of Junpei, however due to having all buffs, it is a roulette whether she would use Marakukaja or not. Overall, I had fun with this challenge run. I will eventually do The Answer with just two party members though without the MIN-EXP part. Thank you for anyone who have followed this run from start to finish, hopeful to see you during my run for The Answer.

I've played enough mainline SMT to know why insta-kills are scary (most prominently so in Nocturne, since the Magatama skill learning mechanics kept me from finding the space for Null Dark on my Demi-Fiend's skillset), but the only Persona game I've played so far is Tactica, which has neither instakill skills nor in-battle items.
