@SpiderBru oh yeah, definitely. It's near unanimously agreed to be the best social link in all the games. It's incredibly emotional and even referenced in p4. Definitely one you don't want to miss
The bit between present and past you was great lmao Also, since you asked in the video, Traesto, the spell mentioned in maya's link, is an actual spell in the series, just not present in this game. What it does is it brings the caster back to the entrance of the dungeon one is currently in.
Just an FYI, I wouldn't sleep on Hayase's SL if I were you. He gives you one of the best Personas in the game as well as the single best Theurgy once you max it out.
I subbed after your first Persona 3 video and I’ve been loving you and this series so far. Your videos are getting me through finals rn. If you decide to do Persona 5 or something else count me in. I’m in for the long haul!
@SpiderBru You CAN use the clocks to restore but imo you shouldnt just bc frags are kinda scarce and better spent on chest within tartarus bc youll have a shot at getting the great clock. If you have 7 frags ur fine with burning go ahead but you can just cycle party members
@@SpiderBruprobably bc it’s hard to find the blue versions of those glowing breakable trees early on, but the layout of Tartarus’ next block makes it easier to farm ESPECIALLY if you grab the Devil Arcana Shuffle Time card
I so genuinely believe Kens a straight upgrade to Yukari. He has Higher damage due to Kougaons higher base damage (350 to the usual 220), Better END and Hp, better Support Skills and if i recall has the 2nd fastest Theurgy charge in the game. The only thing Yukari has over the kid is Ailment Cures but those are common items and can be bought at the Pharmacy for dirt cheap.
From what I’ve heard and what I can see from observation, it seems Ken is more of a blend of support via heals and ailments, and Yukari is better as a medic character. I could be wrong tho. If I get a day to test them both out I’ll decide for sure
Bruh, *Healing Apex.* Yukari has the cheapest heals in the entire series. You know who has the fastest charging Theurgy? It's Yukari, and Ken's Theurgy charge require him to be below half SP, which has an odd interaction with his trait to passively recover SP: he runs out quickly without it, and then he has trouble going below half SP to begin with with it. Neither Ken or Yukari are particularly oustanding in damage when your MC exists. Ken *does* have powerful support that Yukari doesn't have, support that you yourself can sub for if you feel like it but you can't actually replicate Yukari's crazy cheap healing skills. They're both good, don't get me wrong, but Yukari is bonkers.
@@SpiderBru Ken is kind of an everyman. He gets a bit of everything in his hit, physical, Light-elementa damage and instant kill spells, shields, stat nulls (for enemies) and healing spells (but NOT ailment healing). I personally made him something of a boss specialist by having his shields and stat null handy, with the ability to do Light damage for the climb if possible. Yukari's cheap healing cannot be beaten man, its' just way too good.
@@tsf9600 Yukari only has Cheaper heals and gettings Kens Sp below half isn’t a problem? You can so easily abuse equipment to quickly get his Sp below half (even though its Kens Theurgy condition everyone also does get a small boost in Theurgy from being below half as well). At his fastest he can get Theurgy at the start of every other turn. Yukari will require several turns of dedicated healing to reach her Theurgy which you shouldn’t be in a situation where you’re spamming heals every turn. its never the optimal way to spend turns like that. But Ken can do whatever he wants and he’ll get Theurgy faster. And Ken has ways to Heals for even Cheaper than Yukari? Can’t really elaborate on that but its not that hard to do. (Even with spamming heals Ken will get Theurgy faster 2 turns to 3) Ken also doesn’t suffer any Sp problems with his Characteristics it’s genuinely hard to run out because so many of his skills are just around what he recovers. And with how common and cheap Items are her one lead of ailment cures isn’t really noteworthy at all. Cheaper heals can only really be argued with later healing skills because with his Characteristic Mediarama is only 6 to cast which is only 2 sp more than Yukari.
I love Ken, even though I didn’t use him much in my party (Yukari I found to be a better healer for my playstyle, and I didn’t need 3 healers in my team including the protagonist). Glad you like him too!
And dont rag on Junpei for simping for the crazy girl. Hes got it rough, especially with how he is only situationally useful in this game, so let him have his crazy girl.
And the best team for you to use is as follows. MC: for obvious reasons Yukari: busted healing Aigis: busted physical Koromaru: Power Howl theurgy synergizes with Aigis.
@@jacobaderholdt3111 Ken is so much more specialized in Support. Dekaja prevents enemies from using buffs (and with his characteristic he can get this for free) he can use Shields to prevents weaknesses from being hit. Yukari has a 30% accuracy Debuff. Thats it Ken also has among the fastest Theurgy Charge in the game. Able to get his every 3 turns (in Tartarus with Soul Fortune its 2). (Also for some reason Kougoan has a base power of 350 to Garudynes 220 so he’s hurting more).
@helpihavebats6392 You forget to take into account the characteristics. Yukari's quarters the cost of her support skills, while Ken's regens 10 sp per turn. Ken's might sound better on paper, but in practice, he runs out of sp faster than yukari, even if you give them both an sp recovering accessory. Also, her stats are much better suited for magic than Ken's, meaning even if you use the diarama skills, she can basically full heal the entire party.
@@jacobaderholdt3111 Yukari quarters the cost of her Healing skills and thats nothing that particularly great because items can cover both her and Ken but also because she contributes very little outside of that. Her stats they actually dont make up for the damage differences and Kens relatively quick access to boosting Weapons (which to my understanding Yukari lacks). The only time period where she has a lead its when she has Wind Amp accessory and Kens waiting for his however her lead is a generally pitiful 4% and the moment Ken gets Bless Amp Accessory he takes the lead back by a lot. (Got this information from a dataminers DPS by level Chart and he was kind enough to explain that bit). And according to the Chart he actually has comparable damage to Mitsuru most of the game. Her Healing potential isn’t really that significant over Ken because they wont have that big of a difference in MAG until later on. Kens Sp is like never an Issue? Medirama is 16 Sp and he Restores 10 every turn to a loss of 6 Sp thats only 2 more than Yukari. An by the time he gets Mediarahan he has a way to apply a full party Shield and heal every other turn at the loss of 2 Sp (or free) every turn. Ive used him and i tried to actually to get his Sp low but without resorting to Mediarahan every turn its a huge struggle. He takes way too long to ever run out in a fight.
Fun fact, just a recommendation if you ever feel like Fighting the reaper Makoto, Ken, Junpei, Yukari. Just trust me on this one... And make sure you're fusing... You're gonna wish you have... Especially in October
I’m fusing whenever possible and I hope I’m making smart choices with them. I try to go for high level, type coverage and social link boosts. I’ve also been grinding attributes through hanging out with teammates
@@SpiderBru it's time for a tip that makes no sense until you get there "Nullification, Drains, and Repels, aren't always the best choice. A simple resistance will pull you through". Seriously though, loving your content
I’m sure you probably mentioned at the start of the game, but what difficulty are you playing? (Nothing shameful about not play merciless, but I’m just curious)
Digital cookie for anyone who catches the thumbnail reference (instant delivery)
Not to spoil it for the rest: "G vs F"
Crash bandicoot vs Sonic reference
I mean u kinda gave away at the beginning of the vid XD
Ken unironically the most realistic character because hes a little kid forcing his voice to sound deep and trying to act mature, its hilarious to me
1:22 It is spell from Persona 2 that gets you out of dungeons. Like an escape rope from Pokemon.
I love the banter between past you and editor you.
He was playing like shit
24:14 Truly an “Ace Defective” moment not putting her in the party OR preparing a wind persona.
Btw "Stripey" is by far one of the best social links in the series. Definitely hoping that you do that one. Ive been loving the videos, keep them up!
I heard about this after I recorded? Is this true fr? I’ll keep an eye out if so. And thank you! Putting my all into this 🙏🏼
@SpiderBru oh yeah, definitely. It's near unanimously agreed to be the best social link in all the games. It's incredibly emotional and even referenced in p4. Definitely one you don't want to miss
LMAOOO THAT CREDIT CARD PART 😭
the thumbnail reminds me of an image i saw one time of goku and frieza
Bingo 🍪
@@SpiderBru hell yeah
Shouldn't a bro have a bro's back? Junpei is just trying to get a lady friend. Don't be jealous, let him shoot his shot. XD
Man's out on a mission
She ain’t the one I gotta make sure he don’t get heartbroken 😭

My favorite part to edit by far 😂 thank you again for your constant wisdom to my random ass questions brother
@SpiderBru you're welcome! You'll see that spell when you decide to play persona 1 and 4 🤣
I just found these on my recommended and they're great bro, can't wait to see more
I’m glad you’re liking them homie! More to come very soon 🤝🏼
31:22 Junpei passed the Charm Check? Damn, he’s been doing some charm grinding at the movies hasn’t he?
Just an FYI, I wouldn't sleep on Hayase's SL if I were you. He gives you one of the best Personas in the game as well as the single best Theurgy once you max it out.
I wasn’t actually sleeping on it! I plan on doing all the social links I can and I think his has the potential to be good. I was just playing 😂
OMFG THE GOAT UPLOADED!!
Oh, I'll tell u why Shinjiro wears a coat later. It was explained in an interview or something but if I tell u now it'll be a spoiler :)
Bru got the most infectious laugh, I swear
the goku vs freeza stand up in the thumbnail is fire
He caught the reference!

An advice for Tartaros, if you have no hp or sp, you can go to floor 1 and for 7 twilight fragments it restores everyone hp and sp
Those clocks? I heard people were saying not to use those
@SpiderBru You CAN use the clocks to restore but imo you shouldnt just bc frags are kinda scarce and better spent on chest within tartarus bc youll have a shot at getting the great clock. If you have 7 frags ur fine with burning go ahead but you can just cycle party members
True, but if you are in a boss rush or som and want to keep going until you are done, then you have that option as well

A word of advice. Fuse both Mithras and Siegfried when they become available. It will unlock a busted theurgy for the MC.
Noted bro thank you 🙏🏼
@@SpiderBru also, when Shinji joins, don't become over-reliant on him.

Yukari is the best healer but Ken gets way better as a support.
And dont rag on Junpei for simping for the crazy girl. Hes got it rough, especially with how he is only situationally useful in this game, so let him have his crazy girl.
I may have cut some of it out but I do empathize with Junpei a lot. I was trying to speak with him through the fourth wall 😂
Really? Dude is kinda broken in this game. which isnt hard cuz this game is super broken overall.
@BelBelle468 Aigis is much more reliable than Junpei as a physical attacker, since he relies on crits and she doesn't.
I like that you're at least aware that you know you're playing bad
These games been out for decades and I’ve been playing them for 2 months, on UA-cam too… give me time to cook
And the best team for you to use is as follows.
MC: for obvious reasons
Yukari: busted healing
Aigis: busted physical
Koromaru: Power Howl theurgy synergizes with Aigis.
You could potentially swap out Yukari for Ken, although he isn't as specialized in support as her.
And Mitsuru can be subbed in for Aigis if you want to focus more on magic than physical.
