Location:

Steamy Bathhouse, 11F

Weakness:

None (Shadow Kanji)

Resistances:

None (Shadow Kanji)

Accompanied By:

  • Tough Guy: Weak to Fire
  • Nice Guy: Weak to Ice

Recommended Party:

  • Protagonist: Personas with Fire and Ice skills, physical attacks, and healing.
  • Yosuke: For Wind attacks, Sukukaja, and Dekaja.
  • Chie: For Ice attacks (Bufu) and physical damage.
  • Yukiko: For Fire attacks (Agi) and healing (Media).

Strategy:

  1. Target Priority: Immediately focus on defeating Tough Guy (Weak: Fire) and Nice Guy (Weak: Ice). They can buff Shadow Kanji and heal him, making the fight much harder if left unchecked. Use Yukiko for Fire and Chie for Ice to knock them down quickly.
  2. Shadow Kanji: Once his companions are down, focus all attacks on Shadow Kanji. He has no elemental weaknesses, so rely on physical attacks and your strongest spells.
  3. Buffs & Debuffs: Use Tarukaja (Chie) to boost your party's attack and Rakunda (Protagonist Persona) to lower Shadow Kanji's defense. Yosuke's Sukukaja can help with evasion.
  4. Watch for 'Forbidden Murmur': This attack can inflict Silence, preventing skill use. Have items or Personas ready to cure it.
  5. Healing: Shadow Kanji hits hard with physical attacks. Keep your party's HP high with Yukiko's Media/Mediarama and the Protagonist's healing Personas.
