The core of Persona 5 Strikers' combat lies in exploiting enemy weaknesses, leading to the iconic '1 More' and 'All-Out Attack' mechanics.
1 More:
When you hit an enemy with an attack they are weak against (e.g., a Fire skill on an enemy weak to Fire), or land a critical hit, they will be 'downed'. This grants you a '1 More' opportunity. During '1 More', you can:
- Perform a follow-up attack: Press the indicated button to unleash a powerful, free attack with the current character.
- Baton Pass: Switch to another party member, who will then get a free attack and a temporary stat boost. This is excellent for chaining weaknesses and maintaining pressure.
Chaining '1 More' attacks is essential for quickly dispatching groups of enemies and building up your Showtime gauge. Pay close attention to enemy weakness icons displayed above their heads when targeting them.
All-Out Attack:
When multiple enemies are downed simultaneously, or a powerful enemy is downed, you'll see an 'All-Out Attack' prompt. Press the indicated button (usually Triangle/X/Right Click) to initiate a devastating group attack involving all active party members. All-Out Attacks deal massive damage and are often the key to defeating tougher enemies and bosses. Strategically downing multiple enemies with area-of-effect skills or by chaining '1 More' attacks is the fastest way to trigger an All-Out Attack.
Mastering these two mechanics is paramount to success in Persona 5 Strikers, allowing you to control the flow of battle and maximize your damage output.
