Happens every couple times you face an enemy since most of the time he just attacks after using his spell but every couple of times uses it twice which is impossible to survive even if everyone is at full health. Literally battle system is based around rng instead of skill since it all depends if the ai wants to spam his spell or not.

How the fuck is this fair, it's fucking bullshit. It's just not fun and making combat a chore.

Get a Persona that absorbs it you fucking idiot

get better personas
hit weaknesses
git gud

>being bad at dating sim
lol

need a pokemon with reflect/immune elements appearing in current dungeon.

Get fucking good retard. Persona is the easiest SMT game anyway.

Well I did actually the shit that keeps fucking me is mabufu and I have an ice persona equiped so even if I don't die my party does and then I don't have the manpower to take down the shadows anymore

use a Marakutarakaja or something like that

guard if you know the enemy is about to one shot you

>be random shadow
>bunch of cosplaying teen fags show up and gang up on me and buds
>fag uses elemental attack that hits my weakness
>get another turn and batton passes to homo friend
>he hits my friend's weakness
>rise and repeat until all of us are down
>all-out attack
>all this happens in one turn

Fucking wow.

Perhaps more use of guard is the correct move.
This is my first jrpg

You tell him, Frank.

guarding is incredibly useful in these games because it lets you avoid being knocked down and avoid status ailments.

How the fuck are you not sweeping shadows that they actually have a chance to attack? This is an pseudo sneaking game where you either ambush the enemy and kill them before they have the chance to do anything, or they fuck you up, especially on Hard.

>play game on hard mode
>it's actually hard

wow

you obviously should know the weaknesses from prior Persona/SMT games. I mean, why else would you be playing on hard mode?

i'd like seeing you try SMT on hard lol

>playing Persona for any reason other than the story

Nigga...

I wish Dagda was my persona and not a cheap version of Lupin the 3rd.

P5 isn't that hard though, it's just sometimes I get my entire party crit down on an easy enemy group I've killed 10 times before due to rng and Its annoying.

Also I played nocturne and it was not that difficult

Arsene looks infinitely better than Dagda though.

Arsene is a bitch and gives shit advice compared to Dagda.

Did you know there's a difficulty right below hard? it's called normal. Try it out sometime, or git gud

play on easy like me and just enjoy the riiiiiiide

dagdaddy is a badass
