Royal Dancer Battle Setup
The fight against the Royal Dancer guardians takes place on 201F of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Harabah block of Tartarus.
Recommended Party
For this battle, you'll all but need to bring Yukari and Mitsuru. Akihiko is a solid third choice to round out the party.
The bulk of this battle will see you dealing with and trying to fight through status ailments. Each of the three Royal Dancers is able to inflict charm, panic, or poison.
This is why you need Yukari for this fight, as she's the most able to deal with these ailments in addition to playing the role of healer.
We recommend Mitsuru because the Royal Dancers can be inflicted with panic. By using Tentarafoo, you may be able to stop t🌠he Da🌼ncers from doing much of anything.
Finally, Akihiko will not only have learned the passive skill Fist Master to double the effectiveness of his strikes, but Marakunda will reliably lower the Dancers' defense.
You'll spend a lot of time curing ailments, so Marakunda makes the hits you do land count even more.
Recommended Level And Personas
The Royal Dancer guardians are Lv. 61, so we suggest reaching between Lvs. 60-65 before attempting this fight. The more HP you've got before you're made to deal with their status ailments, the better!
With charm, panic, and poison almost certainly all coming your way here, bring a Persona that resists status ailments. If you have to focus on one, block charm above all else, as charmed teammates can heal the enemy instead of hurting them.
Yaksini may be the only Persona your MC really needs to use here. Not only can it charm the Royal Dancers itself, but it knows Maragion for a multi-target elemental move and knows both Sexy Dance and the power-up move, Charm Boost.
The Heart Item you'll get from Narcissus is an absolute blessing in this fight, since the Narcissus Flower is an accessory that cancels the effect of charm immediately.
It may be best, though, to equip Yukari with the Narcissus Flower for this battle.
Since she's how you'll dispel charm for the rest of the team, you need to keep Yukari from becoming charmed herself, as she mayಞ then instead hea🦂l charm for the enemy team.

Royal Dancer Battle Strategy
This fight is one of the longer and more irritating in Persona 3 Portable, as most of it is spent contending with the ailments the Royal Dancers can inflict.
Though all three are unpleasant, poison is the least offensive during this battle. Charm might see your team heal the enemy or even attack their teammates, while fear can cause them to skip their turn altogether.
While poison depletes HP following every turn you take in battle, it also, unlike the other two ailments, doesn't stop you from attacking on your turn.
Of course, you'll need to cure poison before long, but it may help to fight through the poison for a turn or🐻 two to keep up the o෴ffense against the Royal Dancers while you can.
Throughout the fight, you'll need to spend a lot of time having Yukari heal and cure ailments. Her Charmdi can cancel charm for one ally, while Me Patra can cancel fear.
That leaves your MC to handle poison with either the Posumudi skill, if your Personas have it, or by using Dis-Poisons on your teammates.
And while they'll be trying their best to inflict them on your, the Royal Dancers can be impacted by any ailment by fear and rage.
Though it is a bit frustrating that the Royal Dancers are also able of curing one another's ailments throughout the fight, any turn they spend canceling effects is a turn they don't spend attacking.
Therefore, it may be helpful to try to keep the Royal Dancers impacted by charm or panic. They'll focus on healing one another, and making them use Charmdi or Posumudi on one another will waste their turn.
The smoothest strategy we found for handling the Royal Dancers was to use multi-target attacks while all three of them are on the field, then switch to single-target attacks once you've gotten it down to one or two.
You'll have stronger single-target attacks before the multi-target version, so without elemental resistance on the Dancers, you've got free rein to lob whatever elements are at your disposal.
Keep up the pattern of canceling your team's status ailments with Yukari's magic and lay into them while you can with everyone else, and the Royal Dancer battle will be over in n🐈o time.
