But after going out alone during the Dark Hour, he\u2019s injured, and won\u2019t be available until he\u2019s fully recovered. When do you get Akihiko in Persona 3 Reload? To get Akihiko into your party in Persona 3 Reload, there\u2019s nothing in particular you have to do, nor are there any conditions you need to meet. Him joining your party is simply a scripted event that happens on a particular date: May 23 (5\/23). That\u2019s the same day as your last midterm exam, and you can go to Tartarus with Akihiko that same evening. So, Akihiko joins the party on May 23. Frustratingly, for me, May 23 was also the same day I discovered I\u2019d reached another dead end in Tartarus. I was at Floor 42, and the second half of the Arqa block would be sealed by a closed path until the next full moon. So, although Akihiko was able to join my party, I couldn\u2019t really put him to the test for another few weeks. Thankfully, though, he proved a worthy addition to the party in the end. This was mainly due to his Electric damage skills, but also because his basic attacks have a decent chance of inflicting critical hits\u2014also since his healing skills are handy when Yukari isn\u2019t available or when you simply haven\u2019t selected her.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Persona_3_Reload_Akihiko.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120285"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1120285"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1133291,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120285\/revisions\/1133291"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1120290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1120285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1120285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

But after going out alone during the Dark Hour, he\u2019s injured, and won\u2019t be available until he\u2019s fully recovered. When do you get Akihiko in Persona 3 Reload? To get Akihiko into your party in Persona 3 Reload, there\u2019s nothing in particular you have to do, nor are there any conditions you need to meet. Him joining your party is simply a scripted event that happens on a particular date: May 23 (5\/23). That\u2019s the same day as your last midterm exam, and you can go to Tartarus with Akihiko that same evening. So, Akihiko joins the party on May 23. Frustratingly, for me, May 23 was also the same day I discovered I\u2019d reached another dead end in Tartarus. I was at Floor 42, and the second half of the Arqa block would be sealed by a closed path until the next full moon. So, although Akihiko was able to join my party, I couldn\u2019t really put him to the test for another few weeks. Thankfully, though, he proved a worthy addition to the party in the end. This was mainly due to his Electric damage skills, but also because his basic attacks have a decent chance of inflicting critical hits\u2014also since his healing skills are handy when Yukari isn\u2019t available or when you simply haven\u2019t selected her.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Persona_3_Reload_Akihiko.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120285"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1120285"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1133291,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1120285\/revisions\/1133291"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1120290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1120285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1120285"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1120285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
