So one thing for Akihiko, he does get access to Kaiser Knuckles (Apt Pupil) much earlier to everyone else, somewhere around Door 5. But he'll still be in the struggle bus until he learns Gigantic Fist. The one thing he does have over Metis is for her damage multiplier to apply, she needs a shift from Aigis which can be a little awkward if say Junpei or Koro already knocked everyone down with crits, but his damage multiplier just requires Tarukaja applied to him. Metis is definitely better overall, but Akihiko still has some use.
@@Hyp3rSonic yeah i used all party members relatively equally, and there were a lot of times, mostly in the early game, where i genuinely didnt know what to do with him, still my goat though it just woulda been nice to get good moves faster
Really good vid, also as an extra note Metis is a stronger wind user than Yukari even on late game thanks to gear + sister amp And Mitsuru is also a weaker ice user until she gets Diamond Dust xD METIS OP!!
Idk if its my luck but Junpei NEVER outperformed Akihiko in my playthrough, even with 99 luck and tarukabellion he barely crit for me while Akihiko always had access to his buff amp and always did a bunch of damage
You’ve done it Bainz! Best list I’ve seen yet by a wide margin! Only complaint is Mitsuru is worse than Yukari in my eyes, but wow, apart from that perfect list!
Good video i use yukari akihiko and metis it worked wonder for me xd to me the healing is important so i no need to use resources to buy healing items so yeah in this games evervyone is amazing to use so play what you want i played in heartless by the way xd
Party member metas change, strategies change, new discoveries are found and there's a theoretical limit to how busted a party member can be. In conclusion, Akihiko still sucks.
@@Hyp3rSonic I only use him in random encounters and when I need Matarunda in Monad Fights but other then that, he's clock fodder, right next to Koromaru
@@WiiMoteGodYTcool. For me however, I use every party member. It also helps that I usually grind for extended period of time. I do mean it when I say extended, tho. Btw, everyone is at least level or higher. Aigis is level 60, and Metis is level 61. (Also, I dont use debuffs like the attack debuff, so I replaced that with something else for Aki. The only exception is the defense debuff.)
If you see some Joker fights some of those pro are swapping Metis for Akihiko on purpose. With Metis it will be too easy, so that's why they just throw Akihiko to show what Akihiko can do on min-maxing.

I got that weapon way earlier, only because I grinded for WAY more.
For reference, im currently at that door which name is A(I forgot the full name)
bro ken's moveset is so funny he really just outclasses yukari and aki at their own jobs immediately, honestly i think your list looks pretty perfect
I use all 3!

@@Iamverykarpyeveryone is at least level 58 to 59!!! (For me currently)
metis do be stealing everyone's roles lol

She Metis more than most people think

Metis is very powerful 👍

Great list! But I’d put Akihiko a little higher

I will still use him tho 👍
(For reference, he is currently level 54 to 61 rn for me)
