  • This video was basically just an excuse to use Akechi's Rebellion Blade a bunch of times. P3MC was the recipient here because his fight is easy to restart for testing.
    In Persona 5 Royal, if you get Akechi and Kasumi to Rank 10 (and follow some steps for Akechi's Confidant like saying you want to keep your promise to him), you get their Third Awakenings. However these skills are basically only available for the Final Boss. I wanted to test them compared to other high tier moves, to see how good they actually are. All tests are on Merciless.

      I mean sadly, it's still a bit the case -especially for Sumire- considering how late you get them. Like Sumire's move is strong and all, but I feel like you get so much more out of Ann/Ryuji + Ingenious Spirit on the field. At the end of the day, you'll kinda use Sumire just for story purpose.
      Akechi is something else tho.

      @@icetmdabss3501 I feel like Ann and ryuij are good but they will take the role of the third party member where sumire take the second party member slot.
      So a normal team would have a healer and a DPS so you should pick the best healer (Makoto) and the best DPS (sumire).
      if you don't understand why she is the best at DPS it's because she without a crit hits higher then ryuji or ann (assuming you're using the will seed on anyone or vegetables for charge) because off her stats and physical does More Damage .
      The only person close is yusuke but 40% to %60 of the time you deal more damage and have a extra turn for Joker (being insanely broken at this point) plus she's has more survivable because her naturally high Evade and her passive.
      Ryuji is the most offensive of the 3rd character choice but people generally prefer another support so they run haru instead but he still a good pick.
      If you want to be fully optimal he's actually the best healer in the game give him salvation through an accessory as well as spell master through jazz. he is very Tanki so he won't die meaning he can pretty much always get the heels off and allows massive damage for your DPS because of his passive and signature move.
      because of this you're probably running gun haru so you get full value of the party charge.
      Ann is extremely good for most of the game (so basically up to Palace 7 or 8) with access to sleep and attack down she pretty much a must have but she starts falling off when more enemies start to nullify / absorb her attacks or don't die in one hit because she's incredibly squishy and has no survivability.
      She's a good 3th party member if you're running a magic team but you kind of can just give somebody the will seed to give concentrate or just vegetables to Joker and run a much more optimal team

      @icetmdabss3501 4 роки тому +20

      @@scopez7203 Scopez 720 , Sumire has a crazy offensive presence yes, but she's meh overall to me. The thing with her is that her crazy good offense is top notch physically, but she's just good at that. As for the highest DPS, to me, Joker is the main damage dealer. He can do pretty much anything in the game, except giving a crazy support like Haru, Ann or Ryuji, which is the reason why I see more value in them than in Sumire (even though Ann hits extremely hard too with her Fire moves....).
      And also, I don't believe there's any bad team composition really.
      For example for my personal team composition, I go with Haru, Ryuji/Ann, Makoto/Akechi :
      -Haru has the best support, and one of the best traits. I give her Salvation Crown. Life Wall + Salvation + her natural affinity to deal with Ailments thanks to the combination of Fast Heal and Cool Customer makes her incredibly valuable and just the best support overall.
      -Ryuji/Ann mostly for Constant Focus. I don't like Ryuji's Agneyastra because of lack of reliability so I like to give him the Gigantomachia Item or Elec Amp to synergize well with Ann's High Energy if they're both on the field. And Fighting Spirit is just insane as support when you have Joker + Haru, Akechi, or whoever else dealing Phys damage really. Speaking of Ann and her great support, she also hits extremely hard, and most of times, it hits harder than Sumire for me with Blazing Hell + Fire Boost-Amp. And if I have the choice, I'd personally always have her over Sumire because if Sumire faces a physical Res/Null/Rpl/Dr, you're screwed and the only thing that she could bring to the table is Brave Step+Veil of Midnight/Sunrise which is irrelevant in comparison of High-energy imo. And yeah the beautiful thing about these two and why to me they're extremely valuable, is because they make the usage of Ring of Greed/Pride irrelevant because of how good their skills are. So you basically can equip high-end item like Orichalcum R, etc.
      -Makoto/Akechi. Makoto is incredible in this game. She's one of the best, has always been, and will always be. Checkmate is good, but it's not as valuable as Ryuji's and Ann's imo just because regarding the fights you're gonna have, you're very often better with Debilitate which in most cases does the same thing for three times less SP. But she's just like Haru in a sense where her only presence is valuable thanks to Gaia Blessing that synergizes incredibly well with her natural Nuke Affinity which takes advantage of every Physical Ailment for Technicals.
      Akechi is also incredible just with the combination of Ingenious Spirit which is in my eyes probably the best Trait of the Party just because it's the one that activates the most out of all the team members traits, and because it synergizes extremely well with his Debilitate+Rebellion Blade. And he can hit extremely hard if needed even if it won't do as much raw damage as Sumire or someone else more specialized like Haru with Gun Boost-Amp, etc.
      Overall, yeah, to me, there's no best team composition per say, and Sumire isn't bad by any means, but clearly not a mandatory team member regardless of her raw damage potential, at least in my eyes. But every player has a different playstyle I guess, and this game allows you to fully use yours.
      Her Veil of Midnight/Sunrise seems amazing to grab momentum from an enemy and prevent him from capitalizing on Weakness hunting and dealing 1 Mores. The thing is that it's still kinda situational because before Veil of Sunrise (2/2 then), it doesn't activate as often as we wish to most of times.
      BTW, you might as well know that Evasion stat doesn't matter at all on Sumire because she has Ali Dance that doesn't check the user's nore the foe's Ag stat. The only case is when she's equipped with Evade Curse, but even then from my most recent tests, Evade Passives don't do much more than Ali Dance in terms of avoiding hits, but tests are still going on my end to bring up an ultimate conclusion.
      PS : I respect the way you build your team nevertheless.

      @scopez7203 4 роки тому

      @@icetmdabss3501 thank you for responding I like to test my belief and see why something might be better.
      I personally feel no party member is actually bad everyone's good and of course depending on your situation some people are going to be better then other people. Like if the enemy nullifies your main attack or can hit your weakness of course the characters going to be bad in that fight. so there is no best characters Since everyone has flaws
      I generally don't see the argument for ann.
      One of your points was that the enemy can Null physical and if it null physical you basically can't do anything which applies to ann and most of the cast as well. granted sumire is the characters that makes it feel the worst but if you have her equipped with a will seed she can still do fine if not swap. If the enemy resisted not null you're very likely to swap out ann because she pretty very frail and will most likely die granted she can party concentrate but you kinda have to build your team around her to use that skill efficiently. if you just want to give concentrate to Joker anyone else can do it with an accessory or vegetables where with sumire you can still go for the crit which basically doubles Jokers DPS if you land it I don't know about you but I like rolling 50/50 to do double the damage by giving him another turn on Joker.
      though it's very small you can take into account stuff like freeze which will remove that resistance to physical and technical or physical damage technical shock.
      where there's nothing there for fire to technical off besides the basics asleep and dizzy granted she does generate burn but that's probably the weakest status effect because it only technicals with wind and nuke where most things technical with 3.
      sure ann can do more damage but Jokers DPS is so strong that you want everyone to support him and most people already Run 2 supports which means that you really don't have a purpose for a third one but sumire can kind of be a DPS and a support with a crits which is something no one else can cover.
      Personally I actually like running orichalcum over something like the will seed for both of them because I can just make haru Makoto or anyone really to give her charge.
      And just for sumire with her ultimate gun and the sword from the lock chess it's nice having an extra put 36 defence when that's her weakest stat. (6+ then +7 to all then + 5 to defence make 18 extra defence on paper but the game is bugged and doubles stats on equipment if you don't believe me try it with yusuke's agility gun)
      I personally feel that akechi is the worst party member in the game mainly because if you actually don't need to use stuff like high energy or life wall most of the time you really only use it's against the final boss or the New Game Plus boss or the Reaper but I don't think any fight can last long enough for you to get full value out of SP reduction and SP isn't really that much of a problem if you can get outside battle to access your infinite coffees or currys at this point. if sp is a worried you can get spell master accessory or from Jazz. And at this point you will probably have around 6 to 7 Soma and there's no way you're going to burn through that much sp.
      His main draw is debilitate in my opinion but the problem is that there's five different methods of getting it: jazz Joker items Makoto signature skill an accessory. everything else of his kit with the exception of rebellious blade on a downed enemy. other people just do everything better
      I like your haru but you'll see that I preferred the ryuji version and i have her be a little bit more offensive only because of ryuji's passive giving an 80% damage increase and save sp debilitates or live wall.
      My thing about the evasions and stuff was just basically simplifying that. Maybe it's been different for you because it's rng but to me sumire passive activates more than akechi's I've done the lavenza fight like 6 time and about 70% of the time the passive product.
      Makoto is good probably the best character all around in the game but in this late game scenario if you do build something like your haru or my ryuji I feel like you replace her for haru or ryuji which naturally leaves you wanting a physical team because of ryuji passive and unique skills in which case sumire feels like a natural fit. Granted this is assuming you using gun haru you could swing the other way with psy haru and instead of ryuji have ann but in my opinion there's no good 3th choice

    I’ve found that you can make Rebellion Blade and Masquerade even more viable if you give Akechi and Sumire Spell Master and Arms Master respectively.

    Arms Master makes Masquerade cost about 12% HP, which is a great way to make up for Sumire’s low Endurance.

And even without Spell Master, the fact that the rank 4 in BP chain cancels SP/HP cost is already huge, leave aside Ingenious Spirit -which is easily TOP1-3 best team member traits- that activates the most often AND halves Almighty attacks cost.

    Critical is also lets say double the attack does 12x the damage max of the original and compared to megidolaon 24x making it in total with max power 48x as powerful as megido at max power or 60x as powerful as like agi or bufu without any resists or weak
    Masquerade is from what I have seen and been told second best phys attack no gun included
    Top 4 are gods hand primal force masquerade and hassou tobi making it best attack
    Lets assume myriad truths is 3x as powerful as megidolaon per hit in full 9x and comparing 24x and 18x rebellion blade is strongest attack in game
    Please note I have not played p5r this is from Wht fights I have seen and what mathematics of the game I have seen if the critical part is correct that would mean all u need to kill reaper is 1 full power rebellion blade
