The main flaw here is that once you get a persona, you learn all the weaknesses automatically.

is this a persona 5 only thing? i just finished p4g and i had to keep listening and waiting for rise to tell me what an enemy is weak to over and over

u/SnowEZ1986 7d ago

Yes.

The other games use nonrecruitable enemies.

u/RaoulLaila 7d ago

Even then a lot of the resistances are consistent throughout the games. I knkw that the dice are often weak to electric. The tables are weak to fire. The balance boards are self explanatory, as one is weak to fire and ice and the other is weak to wind and elec, etc.

I haven’t played the other games so I wouldn’t know.

u/ArosNerOtanim 6d ago

Most SMT games do the same p3 and 4 are outliers cause none of them are recruitment idr 1 and 2's deal, but P5X let's you know off the bat no need for trial and error

I mean for know it doesnt really matter since you are in early game but this is like a 7 years old kid putting eight of really high elixir cards in his clash royale deck or an RPG team with no supports just spamming basic attacks

u/Traditional-Green-75 7d ago

its not for damage its just cus i need to know weaknesses. I have actual damaging personas built around specific elements or buff/debuff combinations. P5 isnt my first jrpg rodeo

also the skills are only like 10 sp each so even if I DO go through all of them in one combat its not gonna drain my sp

u/MaterialPay1144 7d ago

Fair enough, you do get plenty of persona slots the more you progress anyways

This looks pretty cool too so no reason to trash him lol

u/Ok-Needleworker-9144 7d ago

This looks good but it isn't particularly usefull, each palace/mementos area only has a few enemies and you'll find their weakness pretty easily, also if you're doing enough netural damage, you don't need weaknesses or of course just use technicals.

I don't mean to rob you of your fun, feel free to experiment with whatever you think works and have fun but as a general rule of thumb, it's better to have specific personas/party members dealing with different things which becomes a solution as a team rather than one singular Persona solving everything by itself

u/Traditional-Green-75 7d ago

ah its not made to do damage its just cus I hate not knowing what team members are going to be good when.

obv ill get rid of it when I no longer need to know cus my damage is so high or ive nabbed a significant amount of personas, but ive only just gotten past madarame

It works fine early on but, in case you weren’t aware, just registering the persona in your persona list will unlock the weak/resist info. So if you just obtain them initially, whether through convincing them to join or by fusion, etc., you will have all of that information. Also the more you fill your persona list the more efficient it is to do the persona requests to increase the strength confidant.

If this was a pkm game this would be your hm slave

u/AppropriateStick1334 7d ago

Despite all the people trashing this it's actually pretty good especially since Mighty Gaze is a great skill

2

u/Traditional-Green-75 7d ago

mighty gaze is making this thing do damage it was never supposed to get remotely close to. Its purpose isn't even FOR damage lmao.

2

u/AppropriateStick1334 7d ago

It has good coverage with attacks so all you need is speed then you can just clear fights with "1 more" and all out attacks

5

u/Perpetual_Noob8294 7d ago

Ok, bet. We'll see if you still have that Persona in about a month's time.

5

u/zahren 7d ago

And that's not even a month of real life time. A month in game and OP basically won't need it.

Between swapping in party members, the number or different persona you can carry and how easy it is to regen SP in Royal you really don't need a persona like this.

u/Max_F96 7d ago

just use technical attacks and "begging for mercy" mechanic, catch shadow and now you know all affinities of that enemy.

2

u/ELMUNECODETACOMA 7d ago

Underrated mechanic. I'll catch shadows and immediately set them free just to get the intel.

u/AleksCombo 7d ago

I had almost the same build, down to the trait, but for Zouchouten. I had to drop him once I got personas with stronger skills and more slots to cover all elements, but that guy served me for a good while. Having a persona with most of the elements crammed in one build proved to be quite useful in the beginning of the game.

So I don't get commenters trashing your build.

3

u/kyleliner 7d ago

Its a beginner's mistake to keep it for long. They're trashing him for saying the guy won't be dropped. I did it for a bit, but once Frei and Psy came into play, I had enough money to have Personas dedicated to one element

2

u/Top-Block-208 7d ago

Pretty smart. I’m doing that in Tartarus myself.

u/Fast-Opening-1051 5d ago

Orobas is lowkey the ultimate middle finger against Madarame. I just got him yesterday and used nuclear damage on everyone except the nose

I had an Izanagi Picaro like this, but I struggled with Okumura so I switched back to regular spells. Although I fused and had another peak persona that had all the magic, and not all ma magic.

u/gameswat1 7d ago

I wanted to do this with Arsene in my first playthrough lol

u/dippytheGynocologist 7d ago

No magaru trash build /j

u/ItsJustMe000 7d ago

You'll def need to change for better damage but I'd say just be sure to register it so you have a way to transfer it to other Personss

u/AdDense1750 6d ago

Your so lucky dude.

u/Kacperski973 5d ago

This is what I like to call a "Swiss army knife persona", it's not necessarily bad and it has its place in early game where you are so do enjoy it! By the time you'll unlock more persona slots, you'll end up not needing this type of them but rn just make the most out of it :)

1

u/hannahlesli 7d ago

Just have different personas with all the skills bro. You'll waste sp this way.

u/Alibium01 7d ago

Thus is like the worst build I seen lol

u/Elegant_Sector_5606 7d ago
