How do I use this amazing autist effectively?

>>375958417
Just pick one of him and Ryuji for your main team - they're both physical attacks.

I think Ryuji outclasses him though because he gets Tarukaja + Charge near the end.

I did use them both a lot for mementos because their physical skills can wreck shop on weaker shadows.

>>375958651
Fuck. I was planning on using him AND Ryuji.

Can I make it work or am I fucked?

>>375958417
I don't think. Literally Ryuji is better than him in every way, especially when he learns charge at the end of the game. I wish he was better too because I love yusuke.

>>375958740
Maybe if you're the dedicated mage (Which happens anyways)

>>375958740
doesn't really matter, rank mishima confidant up so all party members earn EXP and just switch people in and out as you please.

>>375958740
I did on Normal difficulty.

The combination of Ryuji's attack buff on both himself and Yusuke and Yusuke's party evasion buff is actually pretty potent, as long as your fourth character is a reliable healer. Combine it with a melee persona on Joker to just shred anything vulnerable to melee.

>>375958740
I had Ryuji, Yusuke and Makoto basicly the whole game and I was alright

>>375958740
My Ryuji and Yusuke are my parties heavy hitters, Makoto heals and goes hard with nuclear and MC I pretty much stuck with Shiki-Ouji for 50% of the game just for the null phys, until Grimehlka came up and replaced him for same use.

That fucking battle arena in Saes dungeon I didn't take even 1dmg, the Thor ended up killing himself.

>>375958417
Use him till Ryuji gets charge and then bench him because he gets outclassed.

>not constantly switching out teammates mid battle to adapt to the fight

I was pretty upset at having to bench people, then I started Hifumes SLink

>>375958417
Use him because you like him not for how useful he is in battles.

>>375960730
This is bad advice on higher difficulties.

>>375960885
He gets masukukaja and does decent physical damage. If you can't beat the game with him in the party you should go back to easy instead of blaming your tools.

>>375961020
I wasn't talking about Yusuke specifically.

I used Morgana, Ryuji, and Ann the whole game. Literally no reason to use anything else.

>>375961284
Go home Gerstmann.

desu I never felt like anyone in this game was an outright bad party member.

At the end I was using Ryuji, Haru and Makoto but would have felt fine switching to anyone else.

You make broken personas

>>375961363
Sorry what?

I dunno I found that there were more instances of shadows with bufu weaknesses than zio

>>375961421
I won't stop you from playing Ryu and only ever using the default weapon in all games you play but I will call you boring.

>>375958740
>rank up futaba s.link
>wait for a charge up in battle
That's the only time he'll be doing more damage than Ryuji.

>>375961718
Party members are for being buff and heal bitches anyway.

>>375958740
Physical attacks are surprisingly viable in P5. Especially if you use Morgana or eventually Makoto is a healer

>>375962070
Where have you been? Physical skills has always been king. If anything P5 made magic more viable since there's no damage cap.

>>375958417
get a tarukaja on him and spam weakness then baton pass to him. His attacks will do more damage to a single target then going all out

>>375959051
Ryuji only gets better when he gets charge otherwise yusuke does more single target damage until then. Especially if you baton pass to him and use his attacks that do even more damage if they get baton passed.

hit enemy with weakness
baton pass
high slash

>>375962165
depends on game, nocturne has strength as best as well as some of the earlier ones.

Makoto and Ann spent the most time out of my party, since they don't have decent physical skills.

Get auto-matarukaja on MC and Yusuke will wreck stuff a lot harder than Ryuji until end game when Ryuji gets charge.

>>375958740
sure, just have makoto be the heal slut and you can ride 3 man phys. that way you don't have to worry about micromanaging SP. though be warned yusuke doesn't have charge so his attacks won't be as strong as ryuji or MC's.

>>375962302
yusuke was my only party member to consistently do 1000+ damage (got the achievement with him in like the 3rd dungeon)

>>375963686
You mean until Ryuji gets swift strike

Just keep Masukukaja up and go for physical attacks, is it that hard?

Shit was hilarious when I popped despair on all 3 of them at once and then activated arahabki and gave myself magic and phys repel while he charged. Little bitch killed himself.

I used Ryuji, Yusuke and Makoto almost all game
>Ryuji and Yusuke just aoe physical
>Destroy every normal encounter in one turn
>Makoto can heal a bit if needed
>MC also aoe physical

Never had SP problems, beat every palace in one day from Madarame onwards (if I didn't get kicked out for plot reasons)
Eventually replaced Makoto by Morgana for better healing but I don't think you really need to since she gets medirahan too

>>375958740
Yusuke has 5 higher strength than ryuji naturally and has a sword that gives him +5 more. Ryuji definitely does more damage, but that 10 str evens out their damage per round.

Been using Ryuji, Morgana, and Makoto pretty much since I got Makoto. Never had any issues with the game unless I'm playing sloppy.

>>375962302
No, Ryuji's EN and better skills make him better throughout the whole game. You high son?

>>375965918
Id replace yusuke in bosses with haru for dem shields

Just use him if you want him. I made it through the whole game with Morgana, Ryuuji and Yusuke.

>>375964575
when ryuji gets charge he should consistently be doing 1.5-2k

>>375966439
Do you need them in hard mode ?
I'm guessing Makoto's marakukaja + mediarahan spam should keep you alive

>>375966091
baton pass to yusuke will always outdamage all out and ryuji till he gets charge.

>>375966610
What level should I be ?
I was thinking of going in on the last day when you get forced into mementos, before getting to the bottom with the first holy grail fight

Also what's the fastest way to grind ?

>>375966439
I had to get rid of Haru's shields for that max gun damage, but that wasn't much of a problem thanks to reflect items being buyable at Takemi's

>>375966610
No seriously. When I say Satan is mediocre, I mean all your party members have better stats for their identities at the same level. Not to mention that you can fuse anything at any level thanks to strength confidant rank 10.

Am I the only one who completes entire palaces in a single day for maximum efficiency?

>>375966730
If I remember right, the network average level was 75 for the final boss. Satan's like high 80's, isn't it?

You also cover all ma-buff skills with those three.

I'll just go kill myself them, just went through the bank palace and god damn my party was running on fumes towards the end of it, didn't think I'd make it.

>>375966730
You actually have to do it before the 24th. Best way to grind is Reaper honestly. You can start to take him on between 65-70. If you can beat the reaper, you can probably beat the twins with not much prep. In general just try and make sure you aren't doubling up on a weakness between you and a party member, assuming you have weaknesses to exploit at all.

>>375966924
does anyone not do that?

>>375967202
He's kidding, everyone does that.

I get overleveled just trying to gather enough cash for confidants before I do the mementos trick.

>>375964864
You can take a shit on him at every given chance.

>>375966924
Of course. I need all that time to level stats and s.links

>>375967663
>try to fuse Metatron
>weak to electric AND dark

>>375958417
He doesn't get charge so that lessens his effectiveness late game compare to Ryuji or Ann but his AoA skills are still good for weaker fodder enemies and skill card duplication make him one of the best confidants to level up quickly. You can beat the game on any difficulty using any party setup without trouble so it doesn't really matter.

Strongest party is Joker, Ann, Ryuji and Haru/Morgana

Ann gets an aoe fire move and focus end game that absolutely destroys every battle. She also doubles as a healer

Ryuji for obvious reasons (atk buff and charge+aoe physical)

Haru is an absolute monster with just her passive skills and triple down. She also learns heat riser.

Morgana shines end game because some annoying enemies are only weak to wind. She also has the best healing in the game

>>375967272
The best way to grind is indeed reaper, but youy should do it during the flu, since it got 40% chance of having despair at the start of the fight which makes it do nothing for two turns and then kill itself and if it doesn't you cna just run away and reengage in like 5 seconds, doable at a lower level then just plain fighting it and is faster too.

November 13-15 and December 8-9 are the only days with flu though, so if you missed em you gonna have to grind it the old fashioned way.

>Afformentioned Despair Trick

>Throw up makarakarn on anyone, locks him into concentrate>megidolaon every action. Keep debilitate up and use makoto for marakukaja and healing and it turns into battle of attrition with 0 surprises.

>Let the Reaper ambush you, he only gets 1 action per turn instead of his normal 2. Also allows you to use thermopylae.

>Combination of 2 and 3

>>375968339
This

>>375967910
Ann also gets Dekaja(Dispel Enemy Buffs) and Tarakunda(Attack down) which basically gives gives her the same level of damage reduction as Makoto with the bonus of synergizing better with Futabas bonus buffs.

She is MUCH better then people give her credit for.

If Goro was actually around he would probably possibly push her off the list since IIRC Robin Hood gets Debillitate and fucking 2 Elements giving him great utility And he is basically the only one who can nulls his weakness due the P1 DLC.

>>375958740

ATLUS still doesn't know how to balance Phys skills even after all these games.

Who the FUCK though letting enemies attack when you ambush them and letting them attack twice is okay?

>>375971441
It's a little different than that.

If you Ambush, you just get to attack first; you don't get a free turn like you did in P4G. After everyone attacks, the next round starts. Enemies attack again quickly because their Agility is higher than your party members'.

i got rid of the shields on Haru. I prefer having them on fusable personas rather than party members. though having them is a nice option.

>>375971280
They tried via giving magic more secondary effects, even if Garu got shafted.

In P3, magic completely overshadowed phys. In P4, it was the opposite. And in P5, it's arguably worse.

>>375969663
>Wasting time trying to crit

>>375958740
The party in this game doesn't really matter that much.
And if you have Shogi-girls Confidant leveled up, you can swap out members in the middle of battle.
Using Haru and Morgana for their High-Crit attacks before passing the baton to Yusuke is practically cheating.

>>375966938
>network average is 75 for last boss
Lol shit, I went into him at like 67. No wonder, at the end I was left scratching my head over how you're supposed to get all the high level personas.

yeah i find that to be pretty iffy. In any other megaten, they cover your whole party but only last one turn.

there's also the tetra/makara break skills that can be used against you.

Wrong. Protag, Makoto, Ryuji and Ann is the best setup. Just give Protag agility up.

Ryuji and Ann for fucking insane damage output. Makoto to fucking laugh at any damage you might take. Protag can just just chill and fill any hole.

Plus Makoto and Ann get those deka skills that trivialize buffs and debuffs.

This is what peak performance is. Prove me wrong. Protip:You can't

>>375975689
I still haven't seen any good reason to use Ann over Haru in endgame. I mean Ann might have matarunda but protag will have debilitate and Haru has that gun damage.

>>375971280
Thinking about it, this extends even to their other games. In EO, magic is usually consistently shitty too. Same deal with SMT. Persona Q is the biggest offender. It costs fucking 48 SP for a single target Dyne spell, and on top of that there are physical skills that also have elements.
