Persona 3 FES - Bosses and Social Links

Ooooookay, here are some of the bosses that I've gone through so far.

Tartarus Guardians

1. Venus Eagles x3

Persona used : Orpheus

They're peasy easy, but then again they are the basic bosses to handle. They're weak to Pierce (something Yukari can hit) so its a matter of bringing them down fast.

2. Dancing Hands x3

Persona used : Orpheus

This time they're weak to Strike but instead of AoA-ing, I let them waste their turn picking up (They do lose their turn getting up if they're knocked down, unlike in P4 where they still can make a turn unless they got Dizzy-ed). Overall its quite easy, just with their Magaru its abit dangerous :3

3. Rampage Driver (1st try)

Persona used : Ara Mitama (to protect me from Assault Dive) and Apsaras (Cadenza)

Ooh, this guys a nutter. Fortunately I have fused Ara Mitama way before and its strong against Strike. That guy likes to use Mazio though. This is the first guardian where I started to have a little trouble with.

4. Crying Tables x3 (2nd try)

Persona used : Apsaras (Bufu spam)

OK, here goes my own story. By the time I reached that floor, Yukari retired for the day, leaving me with only Akihiko and Junpei. Unfortunately, on my first try it doesn't seem to be too effective, so I decided to come back later. On my last blog post, by the time I came back for a second round, this time Junpei isn't free to come. So I had to do this 1-man down.

My strategy? Use Apsaras' Bufu and let both Akihiko and Yukari to target 1 of the tables.

5. Change Relic (2nd try)

Persona used : Alp (To outlast its Garula attacks. The damage is really crazy.)

Bah, I really don't like this guardian. Last boss they use Agilao, now this one uses Garula AND Magarula. First try I went with full party and Junpei got 1-hit KO with that thing using Magarula. What's more, my first Alp only has Sukunda and Bufu, and Akihiko kept on getting hammered with 100+ damage for each Magarula. I really didn't die there, but I find this too ineffective and troublesome. Poison Mist attack is also another headache to deal with.

Second try, I refused Alp. This time I replaced Bufu with Tarunda and its a big help (even though its still deals 80+ damage to Akihiko with Magarula). And, again I fight this one without Junpei, knowing that he cannot sustain the damage. My strategy is to use Tarunda and heal Akihiko if his HP falls below 110. Simply speaking, only he can do the real damage so I couldn't afford to lose him. Only when I have the opening I dish out 1 Agilao gem (Even that is also pretty ineffective). Its long (It took me 12 minutes, geez.), but it was defeated.

And oh, I used about 6 Dis-Poisons in this battle.

I've done the following SLs so far:

Magician (Kenji) Rank 4

Emperor (Hidetoshi) Rank 3

Hierophant (Old couple) Rank 3

Chariot (Kazuchi) Rank 4

Hermit (Online gamer) Rank 1

Strength (Yuko) Rank 3

If I can MAX out my Charm status before mid-July, I might be able to start the Lovers SL (That is Yukari-chan! <3) since now that its at rank 4 out of 6 ranks.
