Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

[OblivionKnight]

Welcome to Persona 4, with everyone's faaaaaaaaaaavourite host!





HUGE SPOILERS AWAIT WITHIN!  ESPECIALLY ON THE BOSS END!  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Persona 4 shares a lot of things in common with Persona 3.  Persona 4 uses a turn-based modified press-turn system like its predecessor, but with a few differences.  Battles are entered onscreen by striking enemies or being struck by them.  Once struck, you'll enter a turn-based battle system where either you (if you struck an unaware enemy) or the enemies (if they struck you first) or neither (if you struck them and they were aware of you) will get a free set of actions before the turn-based combat begins.  In normal turn-based combat (barring the few scripted exceptions), characters act based on AGI scores, higher acting first, and so on.  

Where it gets interesting is if a character criticals or strikes a weakness.  Doing either grants a press turn, much like in DDS or SMTN.  The press turn, however, is a bit different.  Called a "1 More!", this gives the character that criticalled or struck a weakness an extra turn.  The enemy criticalled or hit with a weakness is then inflicted with the "Knocked Down" status.  A character in this state that is again struck by their weakness or a critical does not yield another "1 More!", but will skip their next turn they would receive, inflicting them with the "Dizzy" status.  If not struck, however, the downed target will be able to act when their next turn comes up (whether it comes at the end of the round or the next round or whenever).  If a character is dizzied and are hit with their weakness or criticalled in this state, the attacker does not receive a "1 More!"

Soji is the only character that can equip multiple personas.  He can have up to a max of 12 at a time, and has access to every single persona in the game.  However, to get the ultimate personas of a social link, there's a large, overarching quest that is generally a really annoying thing to do if you want them all in the first playthrough (but easily possible, and indeed, moreso than in Persona 3).  Several of the social links (STAR, FOOL, JUDGMENT) auto-max, so there should be no issue there.  I'm going to list every potentially useful persona, but for purposes of the stat averages and the like, I'll be defaulting him to Yoshitsuna, the pen-ultimate TOWER persona.  Unlike Persona 3, there is no real "plot" ultimate to use for averages.  Yoshitsuna, however, is one of the best (possibly the best) persona in the game overall, and is not a max rank persona, so always available.  In addition, it's level 75, last skill learned at 83, so well within the defined levels I used for the topic.    As a note, all of Soji's personas are taken at the level they learn their last skills (so Yoshitsuna is taken at level 83, when he learns Hassou Tobi).  

Levels, are taken at level 80.  Most characters learn their last spells around that point, so it's a decent estimation, and also about where you'll end up playing through the game normally (though a variance of 5 levels on either end is normal).  There's a major difference between stats in Persona 3: HP and SP are based on the character; STR, MAG, END, AGI, LUK are based on the persona; ATK and DEF are based on equipment.  As such, stats with Soji will be highly variable based on the persona (as gaining levels makes the persona gain 3 stat points that don't carry over between persona when switched), while stats for the other characters are highly variable based on levels.  For Soji, the stats of each persona are listed after they've gained enough levels to learn their last skill (generally 5-8 levels).  

Speaking of abilities: every character has 8 skill slots, and unlike in Persona 3, you have control over what skills they learn and don't learn.  I will list all relevant ones in the character sections - whether you allow them to mix and match is up to you, but thankfully, this really isn't a huge issue.

In addition, there is a special function available to Soji called Fusion Forecasts.  What these allow him to do is to add set skills to either specific or any personas he fuses on certain days.  How you view this is up to you, though it's not a significant issue to worry about, overall.  A list of relevenat skills for relevant personas and for generally useful skills is as follows:

Enduring Soul (Siegfried)
Insta-Heal (Ishtar)
Angelic Grace (Alice)
Mind Charge (Daisoujou)
Debilitate (Yoshitsune)
Arms Master (Yoshitsune)

Equipment is a bit different in Persona 4.  To purchase any equipment, you must acquire materials from enemies.  Typically, you need from 4-10 of each material (1 in the case of rare materials) to create this equipment.  All weapons are completely unique, while armour is split into female-specific, male-specific, and gender-neutral armours.  Accessories are all initial, except for Soji who has a bunch of unique ones to choose from.  For the purposes of this topic, I assumed all equipment is made available.  In-game, it's not hard to get most of the materials you need from one run through a dungeon, even the rare ones.  Indeed, since it's the only way to get equipment outside of chests (which are random), I don't see a reason to discount it.  However, I will mark the rare drops with an * below.  In addition, some items are gold chest items - I have not listed any of the armours, though some of the weapons are listed.  These are all unique, so I have assumed them in some character set-ups.  These are marked with # below.  Note that each character has an ultimate weapon droppable by the Reaper that I will list - however, it does require a second playthrough of the game to acquire, so some may not allow them, and hence they are not assumed as defaults, and are indicated by [].  In general, I have defaulted to what I feel is the best weapon for each character with the set-up I chose, and used the highest level dropped armour for each sex (which differ by 2 DEF, so it's about equal).

The non-Soji characters upgrade their personas by completing their S.Links in this game.  These upgrades only change their resistances and weaknesses, and I have assumed all S.Links to be maxed for the purposes of this topic.  In addition, by reaching rank 9, each character (except Rise and Soji) acquires an innate Endure effect (once killed by status or damage, the character will survive with 1 HP) that takes effect once per battle.  There are some other effects associated with the S.Links, but they only matter in a team setting.  I do assume these Endure effects are active, as they play a large role in-game.

Fire, Ice, Electric and Wind are fairly easy to discern elements.  Nothing wrong with them.
Physical is physical, so that's easy to understand.
Light and Dark are fairly easy to discern, but do take note that these elements are entirely instant death and HP reduction.  However you take that is up to you.
Almighty is speshul.  This 'element' is an attack property that pierces all resistances.  It cannot be blocked (save for special circumstances), and almighty attacks, while they can hit physical or magical defense, are not magical or physical by any means (Makarakarn and Tetrakarn don't work on them).

Weak: 50% increase in damage (or hit rate, in the case of light and dark skills)
Strong: 50% reduction in damage (or hit rate, in the case of light and dark skills)
Void: Nulls the affinity in question
Repel: Reflects the affinity in question
Drain: Absorbs the affinity in question

For averages, I don't use attacks in the average that cause damage to the user, which is why some don't have their theoretical best attacks listed.  Any skill listed with a (P) is a passive skill that is always active while that persona is in use.  Generally, if an attack uses HP, it's physical and if it uses SP, it's magical.

Boss time!  A few notes:
- Despite the indicated AGI stats, bosses will always act in a set pattern - all your PCs will act in positional order, followed by the boss.  The only exception to this is Shadow Yosuke, who will always strike first (GODLIKE HYPE TIME?!)
- Damage listed does not include -kajas, -kundas, and charges.  On average, a -kaja or -kunda will boost damage by about 40%, and the charges by about 80% (since not everyone can take advantage of them).  The -kajas and -kundas are available early - charges are available for Soji around level 25 or so, and level 50 or so for Chie and Naoto

- At full HP until she hits the 75% mark, she will use nothing but her basic attack
- Upon reaching the 75% mark, she will lose the normal attack and then follow a 6 turn pattern of Meltdown, Cocytus Pain, Narukami, Divine Wind, Mind Charge, Megidolaon, and then repeat the whole pattern again.  After using an elemental attack, she will absorb that element until her next turn, when she will change to the next element in the sequence.  On the turn she uses Mind Charge, she immunes all damage except Almighty.  On the Megidolaon turn, she is strong to all elements, except Light and Dark, which she still voids (this will not change - she always voids these two elements)
- Upon reaching 50%, Margaret will cast Morning Star and Diarahan, then return to the patterns mentioned above.  She will not use either of these two skills again after this point
- At the 25% mark, Margaret will now replace the Mind Charge - Megidolaon turns (5 and 6 in the sequence) with Power Charge and Hassou Tobi, respectively

[OblivionKnight]

Last post for stuff.  Optional set-ups will be here.  The point of this is to list stats with different set-ups that may vary based on what people allow.  Soji and Rise don't count for this.  I will also note what I believe to be the overall ideal set-ups here, assuming you allow everything.   Stats are compared to the second post's notes and equipment assumptions.  Evasions are all compared to average opponent AGI, LUC, and Level.


Yosuke
Weapon: Kitchen Knife (140 ATK, 90 HIT, +10 STR)
Armour: Passion Sweats (190 DEF, 18 EVA, Auto-Tarukaja) OR Ama-Gakure (98 DEF, 40 EVA, +10 AGI) OR Ame-Otoko (120 DEF, 5 EVA, +100 HP)

Changes:
*Brave Blade now deals 320 physical damage, no changes to critical or hit rate; this helps him kill a lot faster
*Auto-Tarukaja lets him deal a lot more damage for 3 turns (Brave Blade with Kitchen Knife deals 450; Garudyne deals 330), although he'll suffer against physicals once that time is up; Ama-Gakure raises evasion effectively to 30%, plus the large AGI boost


Chie
Weapon: Sleipnir (218 ATK, 92 HIT, +5 AGI)
Armour: Rune Dress (270 DEF, 14 EVA, +4 All Stats) OR Miori Shirt (60 DEF, 40 EVA, Auto-Sukukaja)

Changes:
*God's Hand deals marginally less damage with Rune Dress and Sleipnir (290), while dealing a decent bit less (270) with Miori Shirt and Sleipnir
*Miori Shirt raises Chie's effective evasion to 75% for the first 3 turns, which drops to 40% after those turns are up


Yukiko
Weapon: Hototogisu (272 ATK, 92 HIT, +10 MAG) OR Akisame Fan (180 ATK, 50 HIT, +10 LUC)
Armour: Rune Dress (270 DEF, 14 EVA, +4 All Stats) OR Miori Shirt (60 DEF, 40 EVA, Auto-Sukukaja)

Changes:
*While switching out of the Hototogisu drops her damage (260), the Akisame Fan in combination with the Miori Shirt gives her good evade (65% for 3 turns, 35% after); with just the Miori Shirt, this is 55% for 3 turns, then 30% afterwards
*Rune Dress in combination with Hototogisu raises her damage to 292


Kanji
Weapon: Aegis Shield (357 ATK, 94 HIT, +10 END)
Armour: Passion Sweats (190 DEF, 18 EVA, Auto-Tarukaja) OR Ama-Gakure (98 DEF, 40 EVA, +10 AGI) OR Ame-Otoko (120 DEF, 5 EVA, +100 HP)

Changes:
*The Aegis Shield raises his effective durability to 200% (230% with the Ame-Otoko)
*Auto-Tarukaja deals loads of damage (520 with Primal Force; 245 with Ziodyne), and he can usually take the durability hit with the Aegis Shield; Ama-Gakure makes him less slow, and helps his evade ever so slightly (10%)


Teddie
Weapon: Shitisei Jakotsu (371 ATK, 96 HIT, +4 MAG) OR Platinum Claw (358 ATK, 96 HIT, +3 END) OR Mewling Claw (154 ATK, 86 HIT, +4 AGI)
Armour: Passion Sweats (190 DEF, 18 EVA, Auto-Tarukaja) OR Ama-Gakure (98 DEF, 40 EVA, +10 AGI) OR Ame-Otoko (120 DEF, 5 EVA, +100 HP)

Changes:
*Dropping the Shitisei Jakotsu for Mewling Claw adds speed (average), while the Platinum Claw adds some durability (91% with the Platinum Claw alone; 110% with the Ame-Otoko added to it)
*Passion Sweats add some damage (Bufudyne with Shitisei Jakotsu deals 362); Ama-Gakure provides 30% evasion (35% with Mewling Claw)


Naoto
Weapon: Algernon (230 ATK, 85 HIT, +5 All Stats)
Armour: Rune Dress (270 DEF, 14 EVA, +4 All Stats) OR Miori Shirt (60 DEF, 40 EVA, Auto-Sukukaja)

Changes:
*Algernon with Rune Dress raises the damage of Megidolaon to 164, while the instant death rates rise to 70%; the physical drops to 100, while the damage of Blight and Tempest Slash increase to 118 and 103 respectively, with about 5% more accuracy, critical, and status accuracy for Blight
*Algernon combined with Miori Shirt provides 80% evasion for 3 turns, followed by 45% after that


So, assuming the following set-ups, here are the new averages.  Yosuke is using Kitchen Knife, Chie using Sleipnir and Rune Dress, Yukiko using Rune Dress, Kanji using Aegis Shield, Teddie is unchanged, Naoto using Algernon and Rune Dress.

[074]

Arbitrary attempts at character rankings go here:

For reference, 2.5x killpoint to average is 487.5 (Rise never participates in battles.  I'm not including her in the averages for this.)

Souji: DNR Godlike.  He's about as bad as Minato.  Sure, he gets neither Initiative nor Mix Raids, but he's still just about as bad.  That's enough said on someone who I'm not supporting the ranking of.

Yosuke: Threatens a 2HKO with Garudyne->Brave Blade, and sadly misses a 2HKO against average MDEF with Garudyne.  Sukukaja is goddamned Sukukaja, Tentarafoo gives him options against the Confuse-vulnerable (and P4 Confuse makes you a sitting duck), and he can even heal (somewhat) and dispel stat-buffs.  Wind immunity doesn't help, but Fire resist does.  Honestly, seems like a Middle/Heavy, leaning toward Heavy.

[EDIT] While his healing is nowhere near as good as Teddie's or Yukiko's, some might argue that he gets some benefits from his Endure effect.  At the very least, a parting shot of Garudyne, if not the chance to heal up to full.  May make full Heavy.

Chie: Powercharge -> God's Hand.  That's all that needs to be said about her game.  Roughly 1.3x PCHP damage in a single shot.  Unfortunately, that's all there IS to her game unless the opponent is deathly afraid of ice magic.  HP and Endurance cancel out, I'd like to say, but her reliance on Physical techs kills this.  High Counter gives her a mild antiphysical game, but she's really just about crushing her opponent in one shot before they kill her.  Hates the evasive.  Mocks limit games, though.  I'd put her somewhere in Middle.

Yukiko: Spoiled by Chie, and anyone else with ice.  That aside, she's basically Mitsuru with status healing.  2HKOs average with Agidyne, and has both full healing and fullheal+status healing.  Nulls fire, and halves Lightning.  Really, an amazing set of elemental resists in the DL, ice issues aside.  Barely dodges 2HKO by average, though, and nobody envies that speed.  Middle.

[EDIT] Arguably High Middle off of that Endure effect.  While she ends up being left over with 1 HP, that DOES give her the chance to heal back to full.  Thus, she can be obnoxious.

Kanji: Tank.  Seriously.  Check out that HP and END there.  Stupidly reliant on physicals, though.  It probably says something either about his damage or his magic that his basic physical does as much as his double-boosted Ziodyne.  Opponents fear the looming threat of Primal Force after his physical or Ziodyne.  Testing would have to be done to see how much Tarukaja boosts it, but that may let him OHKO the frail with PF.  Rakukaja is also nice to have, though it's not as good as Sukukaja.  Middle.

Teddie: ...Yukiko-.  Seriously.  Same damage, slightly less frail, his healing is split from his status healing (not good), and while he immunes ice, his resistance set is worse.  Hates Lightning, and that's MORE common in the DL.  Middle.

[EDIT]: Endure effect gives him the same benefits as Yukiko.

Rise: No.

Naoto: Her magic damage is worse than Kanji's.  And her durability is gameworst by far.  That takes effort.  Algernon might be a preferable option over her default weapon, though.  At least she resists fire, and nulls death.  And is a deathwhore herself.  Hamaon, I see being potentially effective against certain types the same way BoF2 Angel and PS4 Holyword are, but that may just be me.  Interpretations aside, she's basically just a deathwhore.  That alone is enough for Low Middle, at least.

[EDIT]: Against those with MDEF or HP problems, she can easily one-shot with Mind-Charged Megidolaon off of the Algernon/Rune Dress combo.  She frightens healers with that, at the very least.  AGI rises to Yosuke levels (very nice), but she likes basic physicals a decent bit less.  Her ID is boosted to a definite Turn 1, though, which means that she can at least win quite a few quick-draws.  Her speed's not terrifying like some, but the combination of that and Turn 1 ID should be enough for most (Still hates ID-immunes, and automatically DIES against ID-immune bosses, which is most of them.)  Might boost her up to Middle, but she's not winning any slugfests.  Endure effect may keep her alive long enough to deliver a kill on some, at least.

------------------------

Kunino-Sagiri: Doubtful rankability as a character (it could be presumed that Namatame is not quite himself at that time).  But really, his strategy is all about Quad-Converge.  And boy, is it ever.  Blocking elemental damage of all but one type (often Wind), and then in turn killing an enemy with that one type horribly is damned good.  Stupidly durable, though, and between that and the damage (3HKO outside of Quad-Converge is just fine when you're talking about the amount of HP present for him), he's easily a Godlike.  Good job, deliveryman.

Tohru Adachi: Rankable!  Uses his first turn on Heat Riser--bad in that he loses a turn to start, but good in that Heat Riser is solid.  But if he can't kill during that period, he's going to start having issues.  Outside of the initial Heat Riser (making Vorpal Blade something of a 2HKO terror) and Mudoon, he really just relies on exploiting elements as always, and being resistant to physical attacks.  Seems like a High Middle to me.  At least he spoils FEers with ID and physical resist.

Ameno-Sagiri: Hooo boy.  Unrankable High Godlike, clearly.  Everything else aside, most are not going to be able to deal with the Bewildering Fog killphases, HP buffering aside.  Jenna Angel and BoF1 finals might have a chance, but that's about it.  All hail the power of the 70s.

Izanami: Limiting her to her first form, she's...rather plain.  Plain, but with a devastating two-turn setup of Mind Charge->Megidolaon for roughly 1.5x PCHP damage.  The way her speed is treated is very very arguable due to how it works in-battle, like all Persona bosses, but that 20% evasion can prove frustrating, and she has a potential argument for the likes of slower WA4 bosses NOT doubling her (her AGI is 160% average).  Add this to her physical resistance and status option in Fool's Whisper, and she's a solid Heavy at worst.

Izanami no Okami is an Unrankable High Godlike.  That is all.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Small note: Kunino-Sagiri has elemental breaks during his Quad Converge phase. Also, for my own notes:

Dyne damage against a L65 party: 150
QC damage against a L65 party: 375

I also vaguely suspect that Naoto's ST death spells are a bit more accurate than the MT spells, but this hasn't been extensively tested, and I'm not sure that the Heaven randoms are a great sample subject for this musing, since they seem to just hate boosted ID in general. <_<

[Monkeyfinger]

Izanami's first form and Kunino-Sagiri evade both physicals and magic around 33% of the time, with no stat mods in place. Ameno-Sagiri had less evade, but it was still existent. Maybe 20%. (Anyone who factors buffs into boss stats should probably ignore all this, as keeping masukunda up cancels this evade almost completely.)

Adachi's Mudoon went 6/12 against people it could hit.

Adachi has no limit phases. His entire skillset's available from the outset, excluding the 1 more only moves.

Adachi has Dekunda.

The exact damage values of Ameno-Sagiri's ubercharged eyelasers are pretty important, because between buffs, defend commands, dispels (for the second version) and many godlike bosses having a lot of HP, they are survivable. So....

Tarukaja'd version: 950
Dekakja'd version: 650

Using the same levels as OK. If he can add a marakunda beforehand (you'll almost certainly never see this in game but with the AI we give bosses in the DL it could very well happen), roughly double those figures.

Okay! Here are a few rough stat calculations for general reference.

Agility averages with the setups I consider default: 56.33

For clarification, this involves Algernon for Naoto, Hattori for Yosuke and Rune Dresses for all the girls. As usual, Souji not involved for my disclaimers, although I'm listing his stats with Paper Armband+Yoshitsune and an average with him.

(Souji - 74)
1. Naoto - 65
2. Yosuke - 64
3. Chie - 63
4. Yukiko - 52
5. Teddie - 49
6. Kanji - 45

Average with Souji: 58.85

Now, for standard deviations under this setup.

Standard Deviation: 7.95

So, effective first-turn speeds under these. Numbers in brackets go under my interp of SD = 25% speed:

1. Naoto (+1.09 SD) [127.25% average]
2. Yosuke (+0.96 SD) [124.11% average]
3. Chie (+0.83 SD) [120.75% average]
4. Yukiko (-0.54 SD) [86.5% average]
5. Teddie (-0.92 SD) [77% average]
6. Kanji (-1.42 SD) [64.5% average]

For SDs with Souji:

Standard Deviation: 9.61

1. Souji (+1.57 SD) [139.41% average]
2. Naoto (+0.63 SD) [115.99% average]
3. Yosuke (+0.53 SD) [113.39% average]
4. Chie (+0.43 SD) [110.79% average]
5. Yukiko (-0.71 SD) [82.19% average]
6. Teddie (-1.02 SD) [74.38% average]
7. Kanji (-1.44 SD) [63.97% average]

EDIT: For an alternate default setup that focuses a bit more on speed (Chie and Teddie equip their highest speed-boosting weapon here), we have:

1. Chie - 68
2. Naoto - 65
3. Yosuke - 64
4. Teddie - 53
5. Yukiko - 52
6. Kanji - 45

Average: 57.83

Standard Deviation: 8.31

Effective speeds:

1. Chie (+1.22 SD) [130.59% average]
2. Naoto (+0.86 SD) [121.5% average]
3. Yosuke (+0.74 SD) [118.56% average]
4. Teddie (-0.58 SD) [85.47% average]
5. Yukiko (-0.70 SD) [82.47% average]
6. Kanji (-1.42 SD) [64.42% average]


Of course, we also have full speed-twinked averages. In this case:

(Souji - 87)
1. Yosuke - 74
2. Chie - 68
3. Naoto - 65
4. Teddie - 63
5. Kanji - 55
6. Yukiko - 52

Average: 62.83

Average with Souji: 66.28

For the SDs under this setup... well.

Standard Deviation: 7.46

Effective speeds:

1. Yosuke (+1.49 SD) [137.25% average]
2. Chie (+0.69 SD) [117.32% average]
3. Naoto (+0.29 SD) [107.27% average]
4. Teddie (+0.02 SD) [100.5% average]
5. Kanji (-1.04 SD) [73.77% average]
6. Yukiko (-1.45 SD) [63.71% average]

Souji'd SDs for these:

Standard Deviation: 10.92

Effective speeds:

1. Souji (+1.89 SD) [147.25% average]
2. Yosuke (+0.70 SD) [117.67% average]
3. Chie (+0.15 SD) [103.93% average]
4. Naoto (-0.11 SD) [97.07% average]
5. Teddie (-0.30 SD) [92.5% average]
6. Kanji (-1.03 SD) [74.18% average]
7. Yukiko (-1.30 SD) [67.31% average]


Welp, guess that's that. I'd do damage-twinked averages, but I don't know how do the boosts affect strength-based damage, which makes the calcs a bit unreliable for my tastes.

EDIT: I'll make the other Souji average later.

[OblivionKnight]

Ok, and finally, the optional characters you can unlock.  These took a while to get, since there's no FAQ on them.  No new characters, but they're great for the optional dungeon you can use them in.  These stats are taken at level 80, like the characters for the main game.  A couple other optional things to get, but so be it for now.

[superaielman]

Nice work on the alt setups, OK.

[Taishyr]

World's End also can inflict fear.

EDIT: Two other things. Izanami's first form also has God's Judgment, and Instaheal works as follows: the status is inflicted, Souji spends one turn with the status. It is healed immediately at the beginning of his next turn.

EDIT 2: And a third! Endure and Enduring Soul do not remove status on activation. In other words, they act more as counters to lethal damage, not as Reraise.

[superaielman]

What's the best setup for Souji magic damage, OK?

[OblivionKnight]

As above, Mada, since it's the only one that naturally gains a boost and an amp (though no level 4 spell).  It's Agidyne, which isn't fabulous in any way, but works.  Mind Charge makes that a lot better.  The damage from Mada is about on par with Teddie.

With inheritance, Soji wants to get a boost on Odin most likely (high MAG, Panta Rhei).  Puts him around 320 damage or so.  Better than Yukiko!  Wind is also the most unresisted element of the bunch, so probably the best option here.  Mind Charge, as always, helps that. 

Also, the MOST IMPORTANT PERSONA has been added...


...ok, 2nd most important.  The most important person is hosting the topic.

[Ultradude]

Mathing stuff out for own purposes;

Taking the average damage without physicals of 154 and the average of 242 with them (from OK's post), and averaging those both out gives you 198, and a kill point of 495, which feels like a good place to work from.

Non-physical damage average with Souji's best non-inheritance magic from Mada added rises to 169, for a kill point of 422.

Physical damage average with what apparently is 1000 damage from Hassou Tobi (is... that not counting Auto-Taru?) becomes freaking 350 for a kill point of 875 which makes HT not as impressive.

Averaging both of those is an average of ~260, kill point of 650. Of course, holding Souji to this makes HT his only really strong offense without buffing.

[OblivionKnight]

The Hassou Tobi figure (and all figures up to the alternate set-up post) are without any special effects except the noted +5 STR for Chie, +10 for Yukiko, and +4 for Teddie in the opening post.  That Hassou Tobi number is base.  It's crazy >_>  It gets tanked against high defense (it's 8 hits of 125, evasion only checked once, complete MT), but is otherwise awesome.  And I've never seen it evaded yet, though I assume it can be (just odd Izanami, after Debilitate, never dodged it). It's just exceptionally accurate.

[Taishyr]

I've seen Hassou Tobi evaded tons, though I pretty much spammed it in a few dungeons and I definitely know it hit a lot more than it got evaded. Still.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I've also seen Hassou Tobi get dodged some times as well.

[Talaysen]

Posting this for my own reference.

Damage average with Souji taken in (with adjustments made for physicals that eat HP): 277.5
Above + Auto-Taru: 358.6

Think I use the first one now but don't want to recalc if I decide otherwise.

[dude789]

It seems that when Rise's persona changes into Kanzeon her stats are reset to their initial values. As a result her stats can vary widely based on when her social link reaches level ten and how many levels she gains after her persona changes. This only affects those who factor her stats into the averages, but  this seems like another reason that her stats should be ignored.

[Yoshiken]

Couldn't find it mentioned elsewhere, so might be worth noting: Tarukaja boosts magic damage as well as physical. Only tested briefly, and only against a random boss (Mitsuo the Hero, specifically), but Chie's Bufula damage went from about 90-95 a turn to 130-140 a turn.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

That's pretty well-known. OK's been applying the boosts from Auto-Taru to both physicals and magic for a while.

[Yoshiken]

Mm, figured something like that. Still probably worth mentioning it on the attack descriptions, though, mostly for Dungeon purposes.

[OblivionKnight]

Ok, so, except for Margaret (which I was told no one actually cared about me getting stats for), all P4 bosses of plot relevance are done!

Yay!

...like anyone cares >_>

[Clear Tranquil]

Thanks OK!

Yay! I care enough to replay P4 moar! >_>

I'm sure your efforts are appreciated!
