ITT: Benched party members

ITT: Benched party members

Fat and gay with a garbage moveset.

Teddie
Ken

...

Honestly I found all of the party members useful though I avoided Haru cuz she's not that qt and even though Ryuuji is really powerful I didn't bother with him. I usually had Fox, Makoto, and alternated between Ann and Morgana.

...

Morgana

>not taking an Occultist or Bounty Hunter to pull enemies towards him

Makoto. I don't think I used her once after the forced battle following her awakening.

Didn't really miss her either.

Setzer
Cait Sith
Actually, are there any GOOD gambler party members?

Benching Goemon instead of Makoto and her magic that only does any damage if the stars align and the enemy gets burnt/zapped.

>Wasting a turn pulling
>Not just using Occ's back-2 attack
>Not using BH's knives
Both of which will actually hit unlike the fat retard's slow derp swing.

"misses"

That's not Ann

this prick

BH does not have knives

He turned into my dedicated healslut between battles. The whole useless Morgana meme seemed too appropriate.

>Benching Fox
>Not crushing the endgame with a phys-oriented party of Joker, Fox, Skull, and Noir.

Why play any other way?

I kept her in throughout the whole game simply because I liked her all out attack picture.

Noir's voice is horrible

She's a more useful healslut than the cat, but both can be replaced if you autistically buy rare heal items from the church shop every sunday.

And she's a nuke mage, super powerful.

I wish I wasn't forced to bench her for half of the game.

Does it count as benching when she leaves the party and is only available in one of the routes?

My mistake I was thinking GR

BH has better moves anyway than the pulls. Uppercut at least works in a stun.

Or just press R1 X X every encounter after the first time you see an enemy. Persona 5 is so easy you could probably play it without party members even on a NG.

Her and her brother
>special characters
>somehow their special jobs have worse abilities than the generic Squire job

>Not Joker Skull Panther Noir

Charge and Concentrate are just too good m8

That and what else am I going to do with all this fucking coffee?

It's just self benching, although I'd probably bench myself too if I had a teacher like this.

I ended using Yusuke a lot but there's zero reason to use him once Ryuji learns Charge.

...

Hi, Koops.

Bye, Koops.

Totally agree on this one.

Still mad I let him die, he was a bro. Benched that bitch Haru the second Midori joined, she's faster and more versatile.

This guy on my first playthrough. Turned out that was not such a good idea.

>He uses Fox instead of Skull late to endgame

I actually ended up using him in the last dungeon and against the final boss after playing the entire game without using him after Futaba's

Not him but you can use Japanese VA as an option.

only thing koops was good for was that part in the woods leading to the tree in chapter 2. Why the hell did everything have to have spikes in that part?

can you read?

I really don't to resort to that. I play with auto-dialogue on, and it's the only voice I don't like

>if you kill her she comes back in the second game
THIS IS NOT OKAY SHE DESERVES TO DIE

I honestly prefer the Joker, Queen, Panther Noir set up. Don't really like Makoto but she does have Mediarahan and I think Ann only gets Diarahan. Also I like to have Joker has my nuke.

My final party was Joker, Ryuji, Yusuke and Morgana.

Yusuke is better than Ryuji until he learns charge, especially for dungeon crawling

Do you fags actually change up your main team in P5 along the game? I never did that in both 3 and 4, just picked my 3 favorite characters and used them from the moment I got them to the end of the game, ignoring all the others.

I usually change them up based on the enemies' weaknesses in the dungeon and adjust Joker accordingly. but who am I kidding I'm just gonna use Shiki-Ouji the whole game

Morgana was too useless because he couldn't take a hit and barely anything was weak to fire making Ann sort of deadweight when it came to dealing with normal enemies (she does become good against bosses as a magic nuke by the end) so yes I actually did change my party. I also changed it in P3. Only in P4 did I not bother to.

Shame really because his character design and aesthetic is one of the best things SMT has ever come up with and isn't just some random edgy Kaneko sketch that made the final cut.

>Persona 5
>dungeon crawling

In P5 changing party members can be done mid dungeon by just going into the menu, no reason to never change them.

I switched out my party members a lot because I maxed out my social link with shogi autist. Pretty fun.

I used the same scheme in P4 and 5 - no females.

Yes, "standard ANIME prettyboy #9999" is a really unique and compelling design.

Actually dyslexic.

Why would you bench anyone in P5? They all earn exp at the same rate and you can switch them around at any time if you do Hifumi's confidant. Do you just hate Yusuke that much?

Makes the game a bit harder I guess

I used him all the way until Ryuji got Mataru (Level 60-ish). Guaranteed sukukaja on battle start makes him a real good sweeper, especially in mementos.

Should have posted Haru, honestly don't see a purpose for her.

>honestly don't see a purpose for her.
Haru can be useful or useless depending on how you spec her. Best way to spec her is to forgo any support spells and just give her all boosts/amps for guns and psi skills, makes her a solid dps at the same level as Yusuke.

I did the same, did it in 5 too. Played through once with Morgana - Ryuji - Ann and a second time with Yusuke - Haru - Makoto. I did that each time I replayed Except for ken. fuck that little prick

So, using charge is literally easy mode

>Haru
psy is pretty good and she get skills that let her get crits like it's nobody's business. Also her phantom thief outfit looks nice because it hides her 5head

Just like every SMT game ever. What did you expect?

>he didn't use fixed dice/master scroll

Does it count?

Lulu after Yuna learns some black magic.

Fuck you, Yusuke is top tier for like 90% of the game.

Highest attack stat and with batom pass he can do even more damage than All out attack

Too bad he doesn't learn Charge so he became useless at the last dungeon

foreheads are great man

>every SMT game ever
>over half of the series doesn't have it
Nocturnefags everyone.

there's something about Haru's hairstyle that makes it look awful, sorry, dude.

>Posts worst SNES heroine
At least post the MT2 one.

Game is legitimately easier to go solo than trying to carry this turn stealing asshole.

>Gameplay built around a broken combo system
>First main party member and lead girl is a slow, heavy hitter who can't into combo
>She is also the worst character in a bland, textbook JRPG filled with meh characters

I couldn't bench her fast enough.

>not using miracle punch to crit everything's on god's green earth every turn and then full healing yourself

>Game about tapping X at the right moment to extend your attacks and deal more damage
>Make an archer character that is incapable of doing that.

Now this is shitposting. I bet you unironically use Sharla.

...

...

You know shiki ouji isnt the only persona that reflects phys, right?

Basically every game that came out after 2000 had it, if you count with spin offs like Devil Survivor and stuff it's definitely more than half

Why is it that the MC becomes so useless later in the game, all your magic attacks and persona do so little damage (except for japanese samurai man) compared to Ann and others. I just used harry potter-kun to heal or debuff enemies in the end game.

Never used her.
MC had psy available all the time and one shot kill was meh even with the gun boosts.

plus she is the worst girls

>Why is it that the MC becomes so useless later in the game
Because you're doing something wrong.

>tfw you unlock the cool robot class but they have poor party synergy and some annoying gimmicks

fuck

Never once used her.

why aren't u leveling me up, mon?

Persona's reflect who you are, so the reason your personas suck is that you're worthless

He's one of the best characters in 2

>used joker, skull, fox, queen
only because I liked having them in my party

>not giving her luck boosts and spamming one shot kill for baton passing charged god-hands

...

...

but in the first game he's ass -weak to status ailments? gtfo

So I don't get any real answers, just useless insults that mean nothing.
Sasuga Sup Forums shitters.

Read a guide if you're too lazy to play the game.

Nobody actually wants to help you, we are just saying you must be terrible at the game if your MC build is so bad he is relegated to being a healslut. Go read a guide or something.

Already beat it.

NG+

you should have benched the fucking game, honestly.

Than why even bother posting you inbred retard, I couldn't care less what you have to say unless it's actually in response to what I originally asked you dumb fuck.

I liked this game, the bear was pretty bro.
