Looks like were heading back into the dungeon, lets hope this so called trumpeter can carry its own weight and isn't all show, its gonna take quite a bit to topple Black Frost from atop the 'Kick Ass Persona' Leader board! 
Also, i couldn't help noticing that last episode the guys came across Mara and didn't make one childish joke about penises, i cant tell if im proud or disappointed by that fact....

Yeah, I was also disappointed by the lack of emphasis on the Buddhist Mara. It's kind of hard not to think that it looks 'that'.
 
Here's hoping that Cool Breeze treats Jeff and Vinny well, and that Debilitate will help them beat the upcoming bosses very easily.

hahaha,  I'm looking foward to today's episode so much!
V&J have good equipment, good Personas, and they've become good at the game. It's all good times from here.
 
edit: Wow, the commercial surprised me. heh. Thank you for using only short commercials. If they're this short, they're not annoying.

Uh....Black Frost was out of date during the last dungeon, and even before that. Seriously, besides having the boost ability with its spells, mind charge and drain ice and fire, it was drastically underpowered since it's a 40-ish level persona (usually, once it's learned all abilities, its stats are low compared to equivalent level personas that have some to learn, let alone dragging him along this long) in what can be a level 70 persona group, 60's being passable.
 
Immunities are all well and good, and with a properly leveled persona, can make or break a fight....but to drag him on this long.....let's just say, you can change personae on the fly for a reason, to match with a given fight, making sure that you have a group of 3 or so personae which are your go-to for elemental type attacks, 1 healer, 1 physical and fill the rest with misc. based ones.

Aw, the first guys they run into are strong against Almighty, and now they're never gonna use Trumpeter or Megidoloan again. :(

This is true.  But some enemies have a high resistance to magic.  Also, some enemies resist all-out attacks.

@MikPick: I'm no Persona expert, but there have definitely been enemies that were strong against the rush in attack - I was under the impression that that was an almighty attack. 
 
Regardless I was kind of disappointed with Trumpeter, I feel he should be more awesome. Perhaps they should just be using his buffs and debuffs more. He's missing an "element-all" attack to I reckon, which are the sort they use most of the time. That or a "physical-all".

Wind amp + wind boost + wind damage accessory wont stack, only 2 max. If you keep wind boost then it will overwrite the accessory and actually give Yosuke LESS damage. Get rid of wind boost for amp when its time.

 Definitely keep Trumpeter in for the end if you want cool breeze to work. Also you want to level him up and get Heatriser. With heatriser and debilitate the boss fight coming up is way easier.

@Vinny or Jeff,
 
When you're in the dungeon, do you look at the map, or do you look at the screen? In P3, I find myself constantly looking at the minimap to see any monsters ahead.

Trumpeter isn't really meant to be a be all end all Persona, but he is immensely useful against bosses, and that's what really matters.

@funcmode: Well that's his primary asset, yes, but that's not all I meant. He's also got some great resistances and his magic is pretty good at that. (Ziodyne + Elec Amp will probably be one of their best options for damage right now.)
