Put the living puppet blade on the beam le handle to unlock it's true potential

On top of his annoying dialogue, his creepoid sexism and his inferiority complex I find him worst even late game. His elemental damage falls way behind and he misses attacks and resistance throws way more than anyone else and by a long margin.  So what if he has solid crit and slash damage when it overlaps with MC basic attacks, much easier to build a specialised crit machine persona than listen to him. I am a bloke but even I get pissed off with his endless derogatory remarks about the females and way he plays victim when called out for treating them as sex objects.

Is one of reasons she pairs with Aigis so well, Aigis uses HP to do insane damage and charge two cool Theurgy and Yukari can then cheap heal to charge two cool Theurgy.

Even with ammo expansion mods? You could try bringing Hera Grudge or Agneastra to catch up the damage on phase 2, since it will become weak to laser. Or just try hitting on critical range only for as long as you are able to not waste ammo.

Shiiiit I run out of ammo on Rebellion beta when I try to use two bazooka arms and ogre breaker 2

Use one of the couple things he drops on the ground

With MG gun arm? I never run out of ammo in my case.

Though I did put x3 lv3 total ammo attachment to the missile launcher, x3 lv 3 physical damage attachment to each of the gun arm, x3 lv3 AS attachment to the chest armor. So perhaps the combined DPS effectively reduce ammo consumption.

the DoT is insane, it applies multiple stacks with the cloud and is THE poison support weapon for anything with an affix or poison crits.

Its insane for crit conditions

Reminds me of sgt. Donny, aka the bear jew (if u have watched inglorious basterds)

almost never do you use ryuji as a magical (electric) damage dealer, he's in your party almost exclusively as a charge+physical/matarukaja, or not in your party at all. Just like with Kanji in P4, and to a lesser extent Junpei/Akihiko in P3, the only reason you would use them elementally would be to exploit weaknesses. Ryuji's SP is probably better used for (ma-)tarukaja or charge, rather than doing damage with elec. Considering how relatively early you can get Hanuman compared to the rest of the itemize weapon personas, that auto-tarukaja actually helps ryuji's bossing potential significantly, allowing a turn-1 strong physical to come out, or if you're charging, a turn-2 charged physical nuke. Because joker requires 2 turns to set up anyways, having ryuji (ma-)tarukaja right before joker's ready is very easily achievable:

​

turn 1: Joker Charges/Concentrates, Ryuji Charges (if charge) or Joker rakunda/Debilitate and Ryuji nukes (without charge)

turn 2: Joker Debilitates/Rakunda (if charge) and Ryuji (ma-)tarukaja or Joker Charges/Concentrates and Ryuji (ma-)tarukaja (without charge)

​

turn 3: Joker nukes (in both) and ryuji either does extra damage (no charge) or charges (with charge)

​

following this "rotation" allows joker and ryuji to nuke on a turn-by-turn basis, or without charge, around every other turn or so, so every turn you have damage coming out, not to mention Ann's concentrated agidynes, Yusuke's giant physicals, or Haru's extra damage. Even Makoto or Morgana, whichever you pick as a healer, might be able to throw in some damage depending on the state of the health bars.

​

and plus, with how optimizable personas are in this game, Joker can very effectively cover every element not well-covered by his party. Haru might be the only actually properly modular party member with strong physical (gun) and magical skills, and even then, she's close to almost permanently weaker than Ryuji for physicals (colossal damage physical + charge vs severe gun +snipe/cripple) or Ann for magical (severe/colossal (if you use it) fire + boost/amp/concentrate vs severe psy + boost/amp). She suffers, just like Makoto, from an excessively balanced stat spread that neutralizes her power relative to other party members at the time of her big spikes. I think the only window in which Haru is stronger than Ryuji specifically, is when she gets OSK and before ryuji gets charge (which admittedly is a large window of the game if you don't kill reapers) due to the nature of snipe/cripple.

Nobody uses Ryuji for his Zio skills. By the time you can get Ryuji's ultimate weapon, you'll have plenty of superior electric attackers. The dude is a god-tier physical attacker. Plus, Tarukaja lasts 3 turns and no standard encounter takes that long to finish up.

Sweet. I'm on my NG+ so I'm working on even making all of them for the first time, and I know their recipes can get really expensive. I'll have to check it out.

Yeah but that's Miwa against Kenjaku. On a stronger character, like a grade 1, it would actually be busted.

Yuta can already behead Kenjaku with his regular sword, Dragonbone would let him probably behead the top2 as well.

There's actually a chance that it was because the sword was amped too much. Imagine having an entire lifetime of BV CE being dumped into a regular sword for a single strike, idc if you're a grade 4 sorcerer, that katana is gonna break easily

Also it's really funny that this happened to "Geto" twice

It wasn`t meant to be
"that is good tool *for* ***Maki*** and here I`ll explain how she could use it effectively"
but rather
"that is good tool for average sorcerer and here I`ll explain how they could use it effectively"

You could clearly see it if you`d read comment before answering as it contains:

1. Not a single mention of Maki
2. Strategy of storing CE into blade and discharging it into one blow
3. Multiple mentions of CE reserves and CE output (Maki has none of them)
4. Multiple ideas of using binding vows to increase said CE output

But of course you met with Yomimeiki^(()^(読迷鬼)^()) and got hit with their CT.

Fuck it, strap nanami’s cleaver to one of the segments of playful cloud and do both

Well true it's not as bad as before. What I'm seeing now is absolutely cracked GS players who basically evolved around the nerfs. Man I'm bad at axe too but everyone else who mains it are constantly in a flow state where everything works out for them (I.e, I start panicking and get demolished in 9 hits)
