When you're high enough level with a few good abilities, you should have no problem defeating the Reaper. Before you fight the Reaper in Persona 3 Reload Here are a few things I recommend having before you attempt to defeat the Reaper in Persona 3 Reload: Be at least level 80 (85, ideally) Have Elizabeth Request #100, Bring me a Bloody Button Have a few status-boosting and debuffing abilities like Heat Riser or Debilitate In short, you shouldn\u2019t fight the Reaper until you reach the final month of the game, right after taking the true ending route, because you likely won\u2019t have a chance of defeating it.\u00a0 The Reaper weakness in Persona 3 Reload As you\u2019ve probably guessed, the Reaper doesn\u2019t have any weaknesses. Fortunately, it\u2019s not strong against nor immune to any attack type, either. The best strategy I recommend for fighting this fiend is the following: Buff the entire party Debuff the Reaper Heal yourself whenever you take a lot of damage Remove status ailments And most importantly, hit the Reaper hard Once you start fighting the Reaper, you\u2019ll notice it's nothing more than a big bully and a cheater. Its attacks are strong, and it can attack two or three times, but nothing about its attacks is truly devastating. It does have a few attacks that can cause instant death and high damage to all party members, but the hit chance is low, and it\u2019s nothing a few good heals or items can\u2019t fix. If you're worried about instant death, make sure you have a couple of Homunculi (this item consumes itself instead of killing a party member) on hand. How to beat the Reaper in Persona 3 Reload I recommend you bring Yukari for her healing and ability to remove status ailments, Koromaru for his attacks and Debilitate ability to debuff the Reaper, and Aegis for her strong attacks and buffing abilities like Marakukaja (which boosts everyone\u2019s Defense) and Matarukaja (which boosts everyone\u2019s Attack). You don\u2019t necessarily need these members, but they will make the fight a lot easier. If the Reaper does manage to kill a party member instantly, you can use her Samarecarm ability to revive an ally, but I just ended up using reviving items (Life Stone or Band Ace) so I could conserve SP. When the battle starts, Koromaru should be the first to attack. Use his Debilitate ability to debuff the Reaper. This will lower the Reaper\u2019s Attack, Defense, and Accuracy. Use it whenever the debuff expires or if the Reaper decides to buff itself. Aigis should cast Matarukaja and especially Marakukaja on the party every three turns to keep everyone\u2019s Defence and Attack up. Yukari should have her healing abilities like Mediarahan and Amrita Shower ready, so she can quickly top up the party\u2019s health and remove any status effects. As for the protagonist, I recommend using any Piercing, Strike, or Slash attack that does severe damage.\u00a0 If everyone is buffed and healed, simply hit the Reaper with everything you have. Koromaru\u2019s Dark and Yukari\u2019s Wind attacks are fine, but the main protagonist\u2019s and Aigis\u2019s severe attacks damage the Reaper most. Despite not having a weakness, I actually managed to do a few critical hits on the Reaper, which gave me an opportunity for All-Out attacks.\u00a0 Keep doing this until you eventually empty the Reaper\u2019s health bar. It has a lot of health, so expect the battle to last a good 10 minutes or so. Otherwise, the fight really isn\u2019t that difficult. You may die a few times, but after beating the Reaper once, you can actually keep killing it over and over to increase your level faster. Once you defeat the Reaper, you will receive the Bloody Button, which you can take back to Elizabeth as proof of your triumph.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Persona-3-Reload_20240227105157.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146060"}],"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\/2382"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1146060"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1146193,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1146060\/revisions\/1146193"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1146063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1146060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1146060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1146060"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1146060"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1146060"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1146060"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1146060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
