A few days early, but I loves me some balls...er, endurance run.

"That's the most useless skill in the game" - cue 1000 Tentarafoo fans screaming.

I got homonuculus once in high school and had to stay home for a month.  My mom gave me ice cream, though, which was pretty sweet.

This doesn't havve much to do with this particular episode but what is so great about Mind Charge?  You're wasting a turn to double the power of your next magic attack when you could just cast it the turn where you would have done Mind Charge and cast it the next turn and have the same result in damage.

Holy shit. I just played Persona 4 for 11 hours straight. I overtook the ER. This dungeon is actually pretty easy, they shouldn't have too much trouble.

Yeah, this was the easiest part of the game for me. The end boss is a huge pushover. especially coming off of Mitsuo's which I found one of the hardest.

For the sake of all of our sanity, here's a friendly suggestion: During fusing, when you want to reset the inherited abilities, you do not need to reselect every single Persona involved, just the last two.  So in a triple fusion, you only need to reselect the 2nd and 3rd choice.

Ok, thanks!  I guess I should have held on to that on my Personas then...   And yes, Zalasta is right.  When you're doing three-way fusion you can just deselect two of the three personas you used to reset the inhereted abilities.

Just to note guys, Rangda inherently has "Repel Physical".  The only reason you'd want her to learn it is for fusion inheritance purposes.

Also Rangda already repels physical so don't bother having him learn it.

I would, there are much better spells to learn than what Black Frost has currently.  Once a Persona has learn all of its abilities, it becomes outdated quickly unless they are the endgame ones.

Yeah, Rangda repels physical innately, which is one of the mojor reasons for fusing it. Don't forget to switch it in iwhen you fight strong physical enemies.

Also, I mentioned this last ep, but you Hokuto-Seikun repels electricity, which is VERY useful against a certain enemy in this dungeon. Keep it.

Yay! Crazy Tanks! They're my favorite enemy in the game because they're hilarious. They look so confused. Good job on the Judgement card, if you can get it upright, it's the best card in the game.

They aren't getting a Fire Amp, Agidyne, Mind Charge, Drain two elements, no weaknesses persona any time soon. They are only 4 levels higher, ditching it now is stupid.

I was just sitting here thinking, "Vinny has come a long way at hitting dudes, and Jeff has yet to compliment him."  And then Jeff said what he did around 25:00 and I felt satisfied.

Why do people keep saying this?
Its so fucking annoying.
Vinny and Jeff have already sunk 50 hours into this, died about 3 times, and made 103 episodes.
They arent just going to say one episode "you know what? Fuck all the people who watch these videos and go to our site and comment on articles everyday! The Endurance Run is over!"
Anyone who thinks they will is fucking retarded.

Why the fuck not?   You forgot to supply a reason.   Sure it's nice that it absorbs both ice and fire, but it's stats are going to make it obsolete quite soon.   Personas don't level all that well.   To keep up you have to continually fuse new ones.

*edit* Your reason in another post does make sense, I didn't take into account just how badass Black Frost is.   You could've said that in your first post, rather than abusing caps lock and redundancy.

I think it's for spoilers? Or Drew decided to play a joke on everyone. I never thought that Jeff n' Vinny would ever stop this far into it (although I gotta say, the music in this dungeon is the worst. It makes me feel like falling asleep, not pumping me up to fight dudes), but the big 1-0-3 gave me pause...
