Defeat Cognitive Wakaba Isshiki in Persona 5 Royal by guarding and healing while Futaba progresses. Protect her during this defensive battle.

The boss fight against Cognitive Wakaba Isshiki is a defensive battle where your primary goal is to protect Futaba while she tries to remember her past. Wakaba is a giant, flying sphinx.

Strategy:

  1. Defensive Stance: Wakaba deals massive damage. Focus on guarding, healing, and buffing your party's defense while debuffing Wakaba's attack.
  2. Futaba's Progress: Futaba will periodically make progress in remembering. Once she reaches a certain point, she will awaken her Persona, Necronomicon.
  3. Attack Phase: After Futaba awakens, she will provide support, allowing you to attack Wakaba directly. Wakaba has no specific weaknesses, so use your strongest attacks.
  4. Repeat: Wakaba will occasionally retreat and charge up a powerful attack. Guard during these phases and continue attacking when she is vulnerable.

Rewards:

  • Futaba's Scarf (Accessory)
  • Increased Social Stats
  • Story Progression

This fight is more about endurance and strategic defense than raw offense.
