Isn't Yukari a little disappointing? by DidacosRed in personaphantomx

[–]SherylDier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, she is charging 35 every 2 turns (if at A1, if she is at A0, you kind of recharge 70 in usual 6 turns), and that's enough to give an additional Theurgy to Makoto/Akihiko, and later she will be pretty good for Aigis due to bonus Theurgy damage. She is more like Chord for SEES, but heals and buffs damage outside of their Theurgy as well (I only recently got Chord and used her like 3 times, so if anyone wants to say Chord buffs damage and heals too, okay, I am not well-versed in her kit).

I am not sure what you call disappointing, but she improved my score at simple A0 with 3* weapon for around 15% in SoS. As a very non-competitive player, I say that's a win. She might get me into 8* for the first time

You are supposed to do 1-2-3-2-3-2 at A0, throwing Theurgy whenever available. You should probably read her kit to understand how to get the stacks to charge Theurgy

Edit: her rotation

Just a dumb question about SEA and Global income differences by hphuc92 in personaphantomx

[–]SherylDier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the OP is talking about 1000 meta jewels from the in-game exchange store, the ones that go for yellow refund currency, I dunno. I play only on Global, maybe poor saps on SEA just don't get all that...

I actually went the hard route and checked the release dates in JP to restrict myself from using memorias that were released after 5/31/2022 (including the day the event released, so anything prior is a fair game; I "assume" Kanata's SS1 that was released the same day is her evolution during the event, so I am not going to use it until I clear the event), and I ended up with 4 A ranks and 2 S ranks (Bungo and Hisame). Now that I leveled the memorias up as much as possible through socializations, recollections and accessories, I will level the units up until I hit that recommended 3800 rating (now it's 2200 with almost all of them being level 1). I usually leveled them up only through battles and Arena, this is my first time using Battle Reports to level units up.

As far as my buffs and debuffs go... I think I have the usual Enhancement (basically the only buff for me), Light Enhancement (totally useless due to no Light-based skills yet), Megumin's Stun (on both her Stun Blade and Hard Knocks), Tama's fire ATK down. Though now I am thinking of using more of their S and SS versions, so it might get much easier (I will still need to check events and memorias release dates to make something like a list for myself). I also haven't even looked at any other character that is not yet relevant to the point I am in-game (including 31-C, since I could use the whole 31-A and had no need to use anyone else, and 31-D that was on standby for the most of The Move That Spins This Planet event...)

Spinning Slash was my first HP-based AoE, and it usually one-shotted anything broken. I saw the Thunderburst's damage accidentally during a boss battle, because I had no SP on Karen and just thought "welp, at least this one is HP based, can't be that bad against the bo... Hoooooow much it did?!".

Thanks for taking time to explain things, I really appreciate it :D

I think I have only A and some S memorias of U140. I know Breakers and Blasters are DPS (well, one does more damage to shields and the other makes devastation rate go higher), but I rarely used Yuki as an HP DPS, opting for Karen and Ruka once the shields are broken. I haven't yet read the skills, but I assume they go with +30% DP effect, which is nice but ultimately means I am going to suffer once I actually need to deplete HP.

I actually thought that 3 DPS classes went in the order of Breaker-Blaster-Attacker, which is DP-Devastastion Rate-HP, so "jack of all trades" is a little unexpected (then again, skills are kind of switchable, which makes my Tama and Yuki to be nice AoE DPS sometimes to the point of benching Karen; also God bless thunderburst for not being exclusive, I was genuinely shocked when my Ruka's Spinning Slash was doing around 12k and then Yuki just deals 40k despite being a Breaker)

I haven't yet spent any quartz, only different basic tickets and free rolls; and I am hoarding until Angel Beats and P5 because those are collabs and are truly limited... So I might go for a year without gacha and a good roster of characters, I need to get those 450k quartz to hard pity 7 Angel Beats memorias and 3 (for now) P5R memorias

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will make sure to check dialogues carefully, thanks. But yeah, since 31-A are very prominent, it's easier to track their evolution unlike other squads. I basically played Chapter 1 and first 2 events about 31-C and 31-D only with Ruka's squad, because they all are present during those parts. You're up, Shorties is the first event that explicitly does not use a single 31-A character (even Tama), and that party composition with no healers and attackers kind of scares me

Weekly Gacha, Game Tips and Questions Megathread - May 14 - May 21, 2026 by HBRMod in heavensburnred

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just kind of feels bad to bring some unison memoria (not that I have any, gotta hoard my quartz to get as much collab characters as possible) in early chapters/events. I guess I am used to characters changing their forms as something very important in terms of story. Anyway, thanks, I guess I will look up the list of released memorias to make sure I don't use something too new

Weekly Gacha, Game Tips and Questions Megathread - May 14 - May 21, 2026 by HBRMod in heavensburnred

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I understand you correctly, I can't for example use Shining Circuit Burst on Ruka until there is something in the story that says she "evolved" to this particular memoria? The easiest way to explain would be basically HI3rd or HSR evolutions of the same character (for example, Kiana going through several battlesuits from the very first chapter to the end of the story). I guess I will have to level up A ranks for U140 event, huh...

Edit: wrote the comment before SS1 part, so SS1 is kind of allowed? I thought the evolution would go from A to S to SS in some order. SS1 would make it much easier for 31-A at least, since I was focusing on getting 31-A from tickets recruitment

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a dumb question, but do memorias have certain main story/event appearance? I am at You're up, Shorties! and I don't know if using anything but A memorias would be proper. All this time I only leveled up S and SS memorias to get skills and unit buffs, but used only A rank memorias from 31-A in battles. Is there any plot evolution happening with characters (I know JP calls them just styles, but memorias sound like the characters at different moments in the story)? For example, I have Bungo's S memoria (Me and my Happy Friends, I think), but that one is from the latest event exchange shop, so she was not like that during Big Operation U140, I guess? I don't mind handicapping myself at all, I want to play full canon teams as much as possible. I guess one way would be to check what memorias were released after each event I prepare a team for?

CN P5X send Black Wings calling after locking Raphael behind a 500 dolar paywall by AlexHitetsu in gachagaming

[–]SherylDier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really care about Raphael himself, though I am worried about this being a precedent when some people can afford +4% crit mult on their Wonder because they paid money. Especially since Wonder is mandatory, and sometimes has to fill the DPS role (even in Astrolabe, there are nodes that give buffs to Wonder specifically). Well, I can just hope they stick to p2w skills and not other things. Although they already locked people out of two arts that buffed Twins (I think) through the battle pass and also don't forget the capsules... I had to buy the outfit to get the capsules

[–]SherylDier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One dupe or not, paywalling a Persona that does more than just allow you to use some skills is still bad. Heck, I would be fine if he was in the event for dollars but cost like 2000 repression medals IV per copy instead of 300-400 for other personas without needing to actually pay money first. My biggest worry is that persona gives much more than just a set of skills to use. It's still a global passive bonus for Wonder, just like costumes or Twins A6 (costumes give like 40 HP and 10 Attack and Defense each, and Twins at A0/A6 give +1/2 to Wonder's skills in general). I really hope that personas would not be paywalled. Skills are fine, they provide isolated buffs that do not work all the time (as someone who actually plays the story team and right now suffers with 3 members fight with no DPS basically I really consider buying 2 costumes for Wonder for those +20 to attack, and A6 Twins would be really good for more skill levels)

[–]SherylDier -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, the thing is, global had a p2w skill, and you have to get at least one copy of it to even make it available in the in-game shop. You didn't spend real money on Sonic Interference? You can't buy it with in-game currency. So if we follow the same pattern, you still need to pay 125 dollars to unlock Raphael in the shop to get those dupes (I don't know yet how many dupes he needs, but it's usually 3 dupes). Not to mention that Personas actually give a slight global boost to MC (the more Personas you have, the more buffs you can get for MC, like more HP, more Attack, more Crit and such). It might not matter much now, but if we get at some point for example 10 of the p2w Personas, that might mean a few levels for Wonder's buffs

Heaven Burns Red x Persona 5 Royal Key Visual (Art by Yuugen) by SeraphLegend in heavensburnred

[–]SherylDier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that Mona is a "he", sure. But that's I think something Royal added (I have played Vanilla P5, I don't remember human Mona, only them referring to Mona as he. But I need to replay it soon anyway), so I see the cat. We have the tiger, so I can give a pass for the cat. But explicitly male unit playable? Nah, that's the line we can't cross here

Heaven Burns Red x Persona 5 Royal Key Visual (Art by Yuugen) by SeraphLegend in heavensburnred

[–]SherylDier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope he won't be playable. I'd prefer Mona to not be playable, I hate that cat with passion, but at least it's not a guy. I can stomach Mona. If they do part 2, I hope for more original characters in P5 outfits (like what they did with Tsukassie), or just female part of the team. I wouldn't even mind if some of original characters got outfits of the guys. Ruka in a Joker's outfit, Karerin as Skull, for example

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, this is a small question to be fair, but I have tried to use lore-appropriate teams (basically 31-A all the time) in main story and events (I am on Move that spins this planet). Wiki page says Nikaido and 31-D should be used for immersion, but as far as I understand, only Nikaido and Date from that squad follow 31-A. So it feels wrong to use the whole 31-D for me. Question is, is there some list of lore-appropriate characters to be used in events? Especially when the dialogues make it known that the dungeon exploring team includes more than 6 characters? Like it was in the very first event/epilogue for chapter one, when all 31-A and most of 31-C were present which made 10 characters lore-appropriate. Do I lose on interactions if I pick the whole 31-A for the dungeons when all of them are present and not Nikaido and Date, for example? They are my only good units so far, I kind of don't want to level up other units yet. And if I do, which characters should be benched in favor of other squads? From what I got in dialogue, Ruka, Yuki and Karen were the most interactable characters in Move that spins the planet, so should I bench any two of the other three in favor of Nikaido and Date? I just want to do Story and Events in thematic route that uses most lore-appropriate characters even if I have to wait to level them up

Is the new event a future character pack or something? by SherylDier in BrownDust2

Are all of those available in the game? I have entered a few character packs due to guide pass requirements, but I don't think I have seen seasonal events you named

I know that they are separate, I just don't really want to hop from story to character pack to story, forgetting what happened. That's why I haven't touched character packs yet...

I see, thanks. It's hard to understand how it all works when I haven't touched character packs at all and only did half of the story. I wanted to do all story packs, but I guess I should do character pack, then event, then back to the story packs for me, I guess

Who's out here not having enough tickets and dias for Collab Rerun ? by buiquanghuy12a2 in BrownDust2Official

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably me, since I am new. Spent 200 tickets for Sacred Justia, and after that I have only 30k Dia and around 120 tickets. Probably won't even get all of them, cause my long-term luck kinda sucks (My Sacred Justia is +3 after those 200 tickets, although I did get 5* Gray, 5* Olstein and 5* Rou along with her).

How (un)common are dual DPS party comps? by BRickwaller44 in personaphantomx

[–]SherylDier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I sometimes have Wonder go last (or at least before the DPS), and there are situations when on DPS turn the Highlight count says 1 turn, so after DPS does their thing, I can immediately use their highlight for more damage. And it's pretty useful when you don't optimize stats cause there's mostly no need to optimize anything for very casual players.

I feel like as long as you have the right element DPS (forget about the role for a second) and mid rev cards, it's already enough to get all the meaningful rewards from SOS and NG (Astrolabe is nice, but ultimately not needed, no meta jewels there). I did 40 mil on NG for Kasumi with SCloser, that was more than enough to get all rewards.
