    For those of you that beat Persona 4, what was your endgame Persona (i.e.:  The primary Persona you used in fighting the final boss)?  Mine was Satan, which I got through a fusion accident, complete with Mediarahan and Rakunda inherited from the Personas I fused.
     
    And while I'm on subject, the first time I beat Persona 3, my endgame Persona was Horus.  I'm not sure how it happened, but after fusing and using gems to buy stat boosts for my Personas throughout the game, I ended up coming out at the end with a Horus that was surprisingly badass.

    I used Trumpeter.  Charlie - Debilitate and other buffs, debuffs, Chie - Power Charge, God's Hand, Yosuke - Garudyne, Yukiko - Mediarahan, Agidyne.

    I must be the only Persona player on the planet that didn't bother to fuse Trumpeter.

    Trumpeter, Futsunushi and Ishtar.  I used Trumpeter for debuffs, Futsunushi for damage and Ishtar for healing (I was the healer for the party).

    I think it was Trumpeter.  Took me 2 extra hours of fusing to make since i only had a 20% compendium at the true end boss.

    my endgame persona was Helel he knew god's hand and i belive the other spell was called arms master or arms race and that cut the price of physical attacks by half

    Loki, actually. He was the only Persona I had with no weaknesses and a severe attack, but I switched to other guys for Debilitate and Mind Charge. 
     
    In P3, however, I beat the game at level 90 with practically every single top-tier persona fused. I mostly used Helel and Messiah for the final fight, but after the boss charmed me to heal itself, I just said "Screw it" and used some Armageddon.

    I used futsunishi for damage and team buff(matarakukaja), and switched to trumpeter for debilitate every three turns. The skill Ali Dance meant i only got hit about every other turn, so long as futsunishi was in.

    Watching the Endurance Run near the end made me smile quite a bit. I thought my use of Trumpeter was a bit...overdone.... Apparently I was not using it enough. :P
     
    I was using a combination of Trumpeter, Loki and...I think Thor. It's been a while since I beat the game.

    ^this 
    Loki for Niflheim and Horus for mind charge. 
    Dunno how effective that really was though, because I think Yosuke came close to outdamaging me.  
    I used Teddie mainly for buffing... And guarding. :(  
    And Yukiko on healing duty obviously.

    I used Ishtar.  Magic Master, Salvation, and Matarukaja.  I went with a harem party.  Naoto mind charge + megidoloaned with the the Chakra ring on.  Chie did the usual power charge + god hand combo, and Yukiko attacked for once.  Switched out for Trumpeter's debilitate every 3 turns.  Of course, that's the first playthrough.  It was Yoshitsune all the way for NG+ games.

    I used Loki. 
     
    Not really common, he wasnt that high level afterall, but Ice amp plus that severe ice damage spell was great to use on bosses. 
     
    Oh, and for P3 I used Atavaka, although that was too long ago to remember how or why.

    I've never done a fusion with more than 3 Personas in Persona 4...  Didn't bother.  I don't remember the main Persona I used in the fight; I'm pretty sure one of them was Undine, though.
     
    In Persona 3, the main Persona I used for Nyx was Loki, I believe.

    Trumpeter and possibly Black Frost...it's been a while. I think Black Frost's magic stats weren't bad and he had Agidyne, Bufudyne, Fire amp and Mind charge, so he was still aces in my book.

    Trumpeter for debilitate and heat riser.  Occasionally, Isis or Ishtar (I forget which) because of the Salvation (heal all/all party).  Most of the time, my MC was buffing and debuffing as well as watching the health of the rest of the team.  I think I may have gotten a Zio attack in once or twice, so it was probably Ishtar that I switched to from Trumpeter during the battle.

    So I don't think you're in a position to judge the OP on this regard.  Even though it's an untrue generalization.

    I think I used Trumpeter and Satan the first time, I forget now. I'm still messing around on my second playthrough, but I have a Yoshitsune, Auto-Mataru/Masuku Norn (fucked up the noise control enough that I didn't bother getting Repel Elec and the two Autos), Kohryu, and a 4 element Ma-dyne Scathach. Once I get enough cash to finish fusing all the Personas and start pulling my favs back out I'm going to call it a file.

    1st time: Scathach (I think) 
    2nd time: Metatron 
    3rd time: Yoshitsune 
     
    Actually, I haven't technically finished my 3rd playthrough, but I got to the battle with Margaret. The reason I played through three times is because on my second game, I saved after going into the TV without receiving Margaret's invitation first. Maybe it was stupid to have only one save but FUCK THAT SHIT. Coincidentally, "FUCK THAT SHIT" was my reaction to Margaret casting Diarahan. I turned my PS2 off and have not since tried again.

    Trumpeter with an insane Thor to back him up. Trumpeter was awesome for buffs/debuffs - Thor for the damage, that dude was a powerhouse after the fusion I did.

    @SmashedControllers: In 50 turns she casts something that does maximum almighty damage to everyone, so it's in your best interests to have something with Enduring Soul to counter that. Atlus has yet to design an extra boss that's actually fun to fight.

     I like the fact that she casts Megidolaon if you try to drag the battle too long.That motivate me to beat her as quick as possible.
    First time having battles against her,I barely win using party and almost have no chance to win at all if I fight her solo.After I realize how important to fuse decent personae,I finally manage to rape her without fear of 50th turn Megidolaon.Still trying to beat the record "Margaret 7 turns kill" posted in youtube.
