    My 2 cents as someone @ lv50 on hard rn
    - Make sure you have a healthy stock of shards and dampeners for the boss battles.
    - The order of team members is important to maximize the amount of press turns you can get (for instance always have a demon that can exploit the boss' weakness on the first slot so you can start generating your half turns from the start).
    - Get both the miracle that replenishes mp when magatsuhi is full and the one that allows demons to use items
    - Doing all the side quests and abcesses is often enough to keep up with the bosses level wise, there's little need to farm exp (and arguably not a good idea at higher difficulty)
    - Some demons I've found especially useful in key scenarios: Neko shogun, Oni (and every phys resistant demon after it), Kaya, Cironnpu, Quetzalcoatl (esp. at the end of the second daat map), Kurama Tengu (cheap and easy to fuse, access to acrobat kick), Belphegor, Kushinada, all Megami/Lady demons (competent healers), all special fusion demons (notably black frost).
    - Make sure you have some skills that make it easier to navigate (estoma, trafuri)
    - Feel free to use all your "important resources" (mp recovery items, beads, grimoires, etc) when the situation calls for it.

    When a boss is about to use their super attack, use an item that block all attacks of a certain element for 1 turn. They sell for 150 each and you can have a maximum of 3 in your inventory. If you identify the demon you get to know their skillset and some of them only use 1 or 2 elements. If they have a unique skill, chances are they're going to use it, or else force them into using their weaker skill (I'm not sure if the AI "knows" you're using the item). It helped me with many boss fights. It never occurred to me to use block though lol.

    Better than guarding is using dampeners. This only takes up one of Nahobino’s turns as opposed to everyone’s if you guard, and will completely null the enemy’s attack, cutting their turn short. You can use a Spyglass to check out any boss’s skills, and the one they use after gathering Magatsuhi is usually their unique attack, and is always the same, so you can predict it and fully null it

      Can confirm. Dark Dampener and Force Dampener made the Hydra and Nüwa fights pretty easy. And in mid to late game, the Physical Block (?) spell is sooo good.

    • @qwormuli77
      @qwormuli77 2 года назад +1

      Can work really well in some fights, but in others it's too much of a coin toss to abuse, unless you have a few miracles to enable it. Hydra, for example, uses both dark and fire as it's powerful attacks, so dampening one or the other is a literal coin toss to waste your turn. If (and this is later, as you cannot get it by Hydra) you gain the miracle to let demons use items, you can cover your ass on multiple attacks and stymie the Magatsuchi turns and other dangerous setups consistently.

    • @Ziziwai
      @Ziziwai 2 года назад

      Hydra was kicking my butt so many times, so I had to give my Nahobino and get demons that either had Resist Wind affinities, or an affinity for blocking Dark, which would end up skipping the Hydra’s next turn completely if it hit. I used Dampeners too, but I found that this was also a helpful strategy to get around certain bosses’ multiple attacks and skip them (let them hit you and get blocked/nulled/absorbed). The only annoying thing to deal with is that the pool of Essences and demons that you wanna use for each battle, you might not have available.

    Always ger the demon knowledge tool miracle as soon as it unlocks.

    1. If you want to heal, gather the HP/MP orbs instead of going to leyline Recovery, the healing costs are expensive and the orbs are always refreshes each time you teleport
    2. Use Macca for other purposes like using the compendium or buying Dampeners (Dampeners are great for early games especially when you haven't got Block skills)
    3. Change your affinities first when you prepare for the boss fights
    4. Here's the drops from each Mitamas

      Essence allows you to add skills to demons that would not normally have that skill.

    Especially playing on hard, and especially especially against bosses…
    _use nullifiers_
    The boss will usually have one attack that’s more powerful, and it seems like they use that attack most often when they are in the crit-state.
    Make sure the last thing you do on your turn is use the nullifier that blocks that damage type.
    Not only will your party be unhurt, the bosses turn will end (or at least get shortened, if there are multiple enemies).
    You can carry three of each type.
    They’re also useful for covering the weaknesses of your demons against tougher regular monsters.
    This is my first ever game in the series and I started on hard.
    It’s been a bitch, but rewarding as I figured it out.
    (Doesn’t help that I’m simultaneously playing dragon quest XI S, and forgot to put on the setting that stops weak enemies giving Exp. It’s almost impossible not to overlevel in an already easy game. I do love it, though!)

    My tip is don't register a demon unless you really like its skill set or are doing a custom build. It's ridiculously in the early game to summon from the compendium.

    • @Rajin90

      To be fair, compendium summoning is supposed to be the ultima ratio anyway. Going out into the world and "catching" the demon is far cheaper.

    • @joearnold6881
      @joearnold6881 2 года назад +8

      What?
      No.
      Registering is free.
      You want the most up to date list of demons possible in case you need one for fusing (you’ll have a higher level, more skill choices, and better stats for the resulting demon)
      It’s a free resource. You’re keeping track of your demons as they’ve improved/been improved by you, and you get to reuse that stronger demon with picked skills (which can have been inherited from other demons even) every time you fuse.
      Even if you only rarely use them, for some reason (it only gets expensive if you’re buying all the demons in a fuse), you want the best ones available for when you do.
      There’s _no_ downside to registering every time you get the chance.
      Limiting just hurts yourself.

      @joearnold6881 2 года назад +1

      Why wouldn’t it be?
      You’ll take less damage and have stronger magic.
      The other choice is to go phys, which can be technically stronger later on in the game, but less flexible.
      I don’t think it matters a huge amount. You can’t really break it (in either direction) The game balances out your stats for the main character pretty well and you’re just adding emphasis.
      You’re other choices, like miracles, I think are the first choice. Attributes seem secondary. Imo from playing half the game on Hard, ofc.

    Something always felt off to me about the battles in the trailers… I realize now it’s because enemies don’t make noises when they are attacked. It’s a little detail, but for a game that is so much more battle heavy than persona 5, it would have gone a long way. Another thing that would have gone a long way too is utilizing the face buttons for the hud like in persona 5 rather than just copying tms’ bland UI.

      It’s only for when the enemy is in crit state. Even then, it really makes the most sense when you have a varied enemies attacking and can’t reliably negate them all with the item.
