The operative part here, regardless of who you bring along, is giving Jin as few weaknesses to exploit as possible.

Use Shadows To Charge Your Theurgy Before Engaging Jin

Unlike previous iterations of Persona 3 that didn't rely on the new Theurgy me🍸chanic, before you head up to face Jin himself, you'll first need to navigate a floor filled with Shadows once you push into the final൩ section of the Adamah block on January 31.

If you're strong enough that the Shadows don't bother you, you're free to roam the halls as you'd like looking for last-minute treasures to bring into NG+ with you♐, but the real reason these Shadows are here is to let you battle them to charge your Theurgy gauge for the battle ahead.

Jin has a much larger HP pool than he did before, so it's worth spending some time down h🍃ere building up your more powerful attacks to bring into the fight and give yourself an early advantage.

Jin Shirato January 31 Battle Guide

Phase One: Watch Your Weaknesses

The battle with Jin begins after some sad exposition before he engages you in a fight. Though he was able to in some capacity when you battled him and Takaya 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:back in November, Jin has spent the last couple of months sharpening one of his more bothersome skills: his ability to target your weaknesses.

His Persona, Moros, is now able to use Weakness Scan, and Jin will do so on his first offensive turn in battle. Immediately, he'll follow this up with an attack that sharp-shoots someone's weakness, potentially offering him a follow-up attack if it lands. As such, you'll need to leave as few weak points in your team as possible.

The best opportunity to shield everyone else on the team is with accessories, but your prཧotagonist changes affinities as he changes Personas, so be mindful of your Persona's affinities when you swap.

Jin's turns are typically spent attacking first and buffing/debuffing second after exploiting any follow-up attacks he may have gotten, w🐬hich always go directly to the same teammate to continue laying on heavy damage and possibly rendering them too Dizzy to take their next turn 🎀when it's time.

One of Jin's new tricks is his EX Flash Grenade, which damages and stands a good chance at inflicting Confuse to the party. As such, be sure to heal ailments as they come at your party, as 🅠tꦿhere's plenty of fight ahead of you on 1/31 and you don't want to extend the fight with Jin or go into a subsequent fight with higher damage.

Throughout the battle, not only should you be using your Theurgy as soon as it's charged for your active combatant teammates, but keep an eye out for Fuuka's🐠 Theurgy as well, as she's able to provide plenty of perks like replenishing HP/SP or helping you Focus before your next attack.

Phase Two: Potent Stim Injection

The second part of the fight begins when Jin uses Potent Stim Injection on himself once you've chipped away enough of his HP. This attack replenishes Jin's HP and sharply boosts his attack stat, but at the huge price of draining his HP each turn. He only uses it once he's truly desperate, but you'll need to play smart to not let him e𝓰xploit this power boost.

Lay into Jin with everything you have after he gives himself the shot. After he injects himself, he'll hit the team with Megidolaon dealing severe Almighty damage that cannot be blocked, so be ready to heal if he hits you while you're low on HP. Him using Megidolaon, though, hurts him, too, given the effects of his injection.

There's likely not much fight left in Jin by the time he uses his boosted Megidolaon, so give him everything you've got to finish the fight, then settle in for some truly disheartening cutscenes bef෴ore moving on to battle Takaya.
