Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 122

No, Yosuke. You can't have seconds of SP until everyone else has had some.

Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

I just might stay up another 4 hours and 15 minutes just to see this as soon as it comes up...  I'm tired, but it would be totally worth it.

Sweet, they must've filmed a couple episodes last night.  Ok, caught up now.  Time for some bonus boss action!  GET DAT GUN!
 
BTW, is it just me, or does Rise look horrible in those glasses?  It's like taking orders from a waitress at a truck stop diner.

Why the hell did you guys go in unprepared?
 
You should let Charlie heal once in a while, especially since he has Kikuri-Hime.  She has superior healing abilities than Yukiko.  And stop using Heat Wave on single enemies.  In fact, Chie shouldn't even be in the party with her weak skill set.

They always do that. They are recording three or four episodes at once. This is also why they are checking with Drew for the length of each individual episode so they can neatly split them up.

Semi-important skill advice to remember: elem amp (+50% damage), elem boost (+25%) and elem accessory (+10-50% depending on strength) do NOT all stack. Any two of them will stack, so you can get +50/+50 or +50/+25, HOWEVER, if you have all 3, then it only counts elem amp and elem boost for +50/+25. So if you want the absolute best elemental damage, make sure not to have Yosuke/Yukiko end up with fire/wind boost since its +25% will override the effects of a stronger accessory.

Sorry Jeff and Vinny, but how quickly do you forget that mid-bosses do not get dizzied.  They may have weaknesses for you to exploit, but it just makes no sense if you can keep it downed, that'd be too easy.   It's also pretty silly to not guard against a mind charge, and then on top of that you sacrificed Chie's health to do a physical special when it was about to hit you 2.5x as hard.

@Tovan51: They dropped Naoto after using her once in the Heaven dungeon and went back to Chie.  I can't see them putting her back in unless they're serious about getting some instant-kill magic.

Dude whatever, they got through the fight with no deaths. Save your nitpicking until they properly screw something up.

Guys you do realize that those 6 10 SP things can still be used right?  And all items except food can be used in battle so always use up low items outside of battle.  10 sp is meaningless in battle but 6 of them outside of battle is fine.  Whiterider also is superior to Garuda unless you need cast wind and Tan Lim is a much better a physical attacker.  And Dasioujou is one of the best persona in the game even if weak to dark.

Fuse Rangda. It doesn't matter what you make, just fuse him and get repel physical. Then do it again. And again. And again. Until the end of the game. Spread that thing out among everyone.

Chie's got huge potential if they leave her in, which they should.  Naoto is only good against trash.  Her only solid damage against bosses is Mind charge + almighty which is really inefficient.

They said they were going to put out the old Tam Lin with the heavy physical attack and they didn't. Also it was more useful to inherit Arrow Rain into the White Rider because he had a lot of Str and low Magic, I don't know why they hurry when fusing

Use Tam Lin, no weaknesses and is pretty much your best physical attacker right now with power charge and Deathbound. Tam Lin also has Auto-Marakukaja which is a instant defense boost at the start of every battle. Much better to have a persona with no weaknesses at the start of a fight for those times where the enemy gets the jump on you.  
 
You're not missing Tam Lin because you never tried using him. :P

@Valkyr: maybe they forgot, but it doesn't really matter IMO. I never understood bringing back personas from the compendium unless you're planning on social linking or doing a 4 or 5 way fuse, and I rarely sweat small details with my personas. I'll just be fusing most of them away in a level or two anyway. 
 
I've done the inheritance dance many times of course, but sometimes it's just not worth the annoyance when the same spell will surely pop up again soon enough.

Because it´s boring to them and they are newer going to use that persona, so it´s better to inherit skills they can transfer on.
