Thank you

Madman

you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Terrell Kristopher Instablaster =)

@Lian Kyson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

If the showtime ended this fight it woulda been hella cool xD

Damage is not enough ...

I was yelling for it to happen too🥲

Lavenza: Oh, screw it. Megido-

@@bainz misses as well

Jonathan Swanathan it’s a reference to the scene where lavenza tries to make infiltration tools at your desk

There should be an Trophy for this called "Just like Old Times", It would've been effing dope (since P5R Trophy was piss easy, Almost on the "Telltale Games" level kind of easy.

@Makoto Yuki she'd automatically Megidolaon'd Joker if she were there

MEGIDOLAON

Fun fact: If you teach Izanagi-no-Okami Concentrate, you can use it at the start of Joker's turn, get a Crit/Technical with another party member (Fairly easy if you have Kasumi and Haru on your team, Brave Step activated for the increased Crit Rate and Black Moon R equipped to Haru for Apt Pupil), baton pass back to Joker and do some ridiculous damage with Myriad Truths. And you can repeat this every single turn, as long as you can pull off the Crit.

@@robo-raven2157 Oh! I'll be sure to do that next time!

Pretty sure solo is easier in a way since you don’t have to worry about party weaknesses which would give Lavensa one-mores

Solo phrase three is hell, though

It was tempting. But I figured that Showtimes are technically a 2-person attack so I didn't

Thanks!

It's the oda special ability from rank 10 tower It makes joker's gun always hit the enemy even if they have strong, null, repel or drain

bruh i got confused and thought you were talking about smt nocturne’s pierce skill 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@irljevil7101 It's not really that broken. It's certainly useful, but you only have so much ammo during a fight.

Yeah, Dream Needle is definitely the most consistent move there.

Actually only Izanagi no okami. You have a 3% chance to get through phase 3(critical on every turn). So he skipped it by doing enough damage on the first turn of phase. There are only 2 ways to deal that much damage in one turn. Izanagi no okami being the easiest. Asterius the slightly trickier one. No yoshi, no black viper satanael, no kaguya. No crits. Even a freeze technical hassou Tobi is too weak Lavenza isn't a simple damage per turn test. She's a true challenge boss. Every phase is essentially a different challenge. P5R has 4 secret bosses. Those being the reaper and José/The twins/Lavenza. José is really only a damage test. The reaper tests your preparational skills. Easier to solo than to beat with a party since he exploits their weaknesses for bonus turns. The twins are kinda like the reaper. They test your preparational skills for you and your party members. Other than that they're a damage test. If you can't deal enough damage they'll autokill you. Lavenza is on another level though. 1st phase is a damage test. But you'll have to deal damage with several elements so it kinda tests wether you've been building several personas or just megidola through everything. 2nd phase tests your ability do set up technical. 3rd tests your ability to crit. 4th is a damage test and tests your durability with high damage attacks. Lavenza is fairly simple if you use party members and cover their weaknesses (yes you can nullify your party member's weaknesses)

the worst part is that Joker actually called for a showtime... and then when was like "Fuck this shit i'm out" btw i'm sure you meant Sumire right ? i know that the autocorrect screws up

1. They do stack, but there's a critical rate upper limit of 60% in Royal. But it's prob worth it to stack them here 2. Ya, Ailment Boost (1.25x), Sleep Boost (1.25x) and Ambient Aid (1.3x) all stack 3. Honestly not sure if Freeze Boost affects the Gun. Couldn't hurt to try it 4. Ya, you can Concentrate using anything. It doesn't have to be Vishnu btw, it can be anyone (for the Dream Needle part) 5. I didn't have to use Insta-Heal here, but it was still useful to have, cuz I still could've gotten frozen/shocked/burnt at some point in Phase 4. And unless you null all ailments in Phase 1, it's generally good to have then too. If the game gets patched at some point, I can always update the guide No prob!

DLC

Probably by cheating because I'm like 85% certain you can never get 999 sp. Hp is possible if you do all the things that raise it, but SP is not

A Persona with the Vitality of the Tree trait, Apt Pupil, Trigger Happy and Adverse Resolve should give the highest crit rate for Dream Needle. Then Sleep Boost and Ailment Boost could be added

Yea, Satanael works well for multiple elements. You could have Fire, Ice, Elec and Wind on him, with Magic Ability, Tyrant's Mind, Victory Cry and 1 free slot. If you want everything on one Persona, you could just have the 6 elements, Tyrant's Mind/Magic Ability and Victory Cry, you'd only be missing out on 25% dmg. If you have the DLC, Izanagi-nO is also good for multi-elements due to Country Maker. For Psy and Nuke, because you can hit technicals with them, Universal Law (Tech damage +50%) or Ailment Hunter (Attack up +25% per each foe with an ailment) might be better. Magatsu-Izanagi has an exclusive trait called Hollow Jester, which is Attack up +40% per foe with an ailment. But ya, you could also just stick with Mighty Gaze and Amp/Boost skills.

@@bainz Thanks for letting me know! I'll try some new combinations later.

@@bainz If I were to make a technical build with either nuclear/psychokinetic attacks, what skills/trait would you recommend?

@@MarioCreeper22 Hey sorry didn't see this earlier. Magatsu-Izanagi is generally the best Persona for Psy/Nuke due to Hollow Jester. But another Persona could work with Ailment Hunter/Universal Law, it'd just be less damage. For skills, just the high tier Psy/Nuke moves, with Boost+Amp+Magic Ability

@@bainz It's cool, thanks for the info!

I can't really remember the fusion path, but I started with Vohu Manah (Positive Thoughts trait) and just worked my way down, using skill cards for Heat Riser/Debilitate

bainz Adding to this, but I believe you get Heat Riser and Debilitate via Athena Picaro, Debilitate being the Alarm Card.

Heat Riser/Debilitate is from Magatsu Izanagi Picaro, Athena gives Charge/Concentrate skill cards.

You have to fuse him from a Persona that already has Will of the Sword. The trait comes from Futsunushi originally, so you'd have to find a fusion path down to Arsene. I am planning on making an Arsene vid soon

Bainz i see, thanks man

She gives the Omnipotent orb, it’s the same item given by the Twins in the New Game+ of vanilla Persona 5. It prevents most attacks, unsure about almighty, and is super OP.

@@KaiWills It nulls every attack except almighty.

@@Elsuya_Milo It was changed afaik. In royal it no longer nulls phys/gun either. Only magic attacks (Sans almighty).

@@Riganotza You could have said "pardon my french" since i'm sure you didn't mean that Sans is almighty

Well, I have videos on my channel of how to build some of them. But for most, I used a Fusion Calc like one: aqiu384.github.io/megaten-fusion-tool/p5r and found fusions/skills that way. The support/Dream Needle Personas can be anyone, for Izanagi-nO it's mainly using Gallows to get skills on him. Bc the process is varied for everyone, it's not really possible to provide a step-by-step guide but a Fusion Calc is the best bet.

bainz well I appreciate any explanations, beating Lavenza is the last trophy I need for my thieves den so any help is appreciated. Keep up the great content.

it's super luck reliant, but ailment boost, sleep boost, trigger happy, apt pupil, etc can boost the chance. still low probability of both occurring in one run

@@bainz update: finally got Critical damage with Vishnu’s Dream Needle but when I used Izunagi-no Myriad Truth didn’t get Technical damage & got whipped out. Not gonna lie this annoyingly frustrating😒

Positive update: Finally defeated Lavenza after at least 25+ attempts.(side note I changed Jokers outfit to P4 uniform so maybe that helped lol)

@@mikewitoZero Congrats!!

Its because without Izanagi you can't consistently beat this on merciless but Izanagi and the picaro version are paid dlc to basically you gotta pull out that wallet

Will of the Sword lets you start with Concentrate up (not in it's descrip)

Hey! I saw your video, and tbh I'm not completely sure why Joker's damage was low in comparison to Haru on that turn. The only thing I can think of is that sometimes Lavenza has a cap on how much damage you can do during a phase. Like for example, I had a time during Phase 3, where Joker and Haru did a ton of damage right away, and after Sumi's Sword Dance did literally 1 damage. So maybe the game says, you've done enough damage this phase, you'll have to wait for the next one. But obviously, it doesn't appear consistent because Myriad Truths in this vid did like 11k. Maybe multi-hit moves ignore it? Again, not 100% sure. Sorry I don't have a better explanation. Love your vids btw.

@@bainz Thank you so much for replying! Yeah, I figured this inconsistency might be hard to explain... In that run, I did around 6.1k in phase 1 and 6k in phase 2, so maybe there is a cap at a little over 6k... Anyways, you mention multi-hit skill, so perhaps I will try replacing Psycho Force for the multi-hit version and test it out. You got a really good Lavenza guide; I appreciate it!

@@oinka Here's an example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtiWYLmUq6udqmQ.html . Ryuji God's Hand with Charge, Attack up, Baton Pass did 5 damage, obv way less than it should have. After that, Phase 4 started

@@bainz thanks. Kinda sad we can't skip a phase, but at least we can shorten the hp requirement for the next phase.

Well, based on observation, here's what I can see as the basic plan for this. Start : Arsene with Will of the Sword for starting concentrate. Phase 1 : She alternates between Fire, Ice, Electricity and Wind, in that order. Persona are swapped to reflect. She resists all but what would be her elemental weakness (When using fire, she resists everything but takes normal damage from ice, for example) Turn 1 : Debilitate/Dekaja, as trying to use Heat Riser here will cause her to just cast Dekaja so... don't waste the turn. Turn 2 : Heat riser, as it is now safe to do so. Turn 3 : Panta Rei with Izanagi-no-okami. Max country maker + concentrate + attack up = big damage. Turn 4 : Concentrate. Turn 5 : Rebellion, for increases critical chance come phase 2. Turn 6 : Debilitate. Turn 7 : Panta Rei. Phase 2 : Requires technical damage each turn. Turn 1 : Gun with freeze mod. ideally, first shot for freeze, second shot for technical. Turn 1 (ONCE MORE) : Star onion for concentrate effect, swapping for dream needle persona to allow for persona swap next turn. Turn 2 : Dream needle. Critical and sleep. Turn 2 (ONCE MORE) : Myriad Truths. Technical + max country maker + concentrate = enough damage to bypass phase 3. This whole phase is very luck based, but otherwise very simple. Phase 4 : She'll use a max power megiodon at some point (can't figure out when), but now takes normal damage from almighty attacks. Turn 1 : Concentrate Turn 2 : Myriad Truths Repeat until dead.

@@connorcampbell-bisson8721 Yes, basically this. Most of the preparation and how to go about the fight is within the linked guide in the description. And it's 6 turns in Phase 4 before she uses Megidolaon.

Traits?

I had the same problem but then realized the fight has to be on Merciless difficulty, the technical damage multiplier is higher. I just now beat her

Endure and Enduring Soul work separately, so I think it'd be fine having both

Thanks, that's what I thought. Now to go pray to the gods of RNG.

country maker / billiards tech dmg rank 4

They are the same once you have max stats

Thanks 😅

ya, it'd be the same

Lavenza merciless solo its imposible without Izanagi nO, you cant skipp phase 3 with another persona bc lack of damage

Check the pinned message.

For Joker, going to the gym/temple boosts his HP/SP. For party members, if you take them to the Jazz Club on certain days, it raises their HP/SP. HP/SP increases carry over through playthroughs.

@@bainz ah okay thats what i wasnt sure of. So you literally must have spent like atleast one whole play thhrough dedicated to that i assume?

@@pudgeypig3521 got to max HP/SP for Joker around halfway in NG+ (I went to the temple a bit in first playthrough). Then took members to the Jazz Club pretty often after that

bainz Wait they do? Mine didn’t tf

Yeah, if you do enough damage you can skip that phase. It's only possible with Myriad Truths though

@Bainz I wouldn’t be wrong in assuming this entire video is impossible without it, would I?

@@rezahydra Probably not impossible but it's very unlikely that you would crit every single turn.

ReZaHydra you’d need an attack like dream needle for crit + technical and high RNG

I did skip the crit phase on merciless without InO but not solo Mad respect to the dude

Will of the Sword is bugged to give Auto-Concentrate at start of battle

@@bainz I see. Thank you

Dism is trying without the OP dlc personas. Izanag nokami Country maker is the most broken ability. 100% bonus damage.

@@pudgeypig3521 broken because its good, spoken like a true peasant. I could make my izanagi magetsu do 200%more dmg easily

@@pudgeypig3521 he also did it without DLC

@@Codename_Crow no he didnt, literally Izanagi No okami is a dlc persona.

Increases critical rate for 2nd phase

Modified guns at iwais shop

You don't need to have max HP/SP, it helps but you can use a Soma when you're low on either. Using the right element (Wind after Lavenza uses Elec) does more damage than using Almighty in Phase 1.

@@bainz wow I didn't know that, thank you, I'll keep that in mind for when I give it a try

Shinya confidant 10 lets Joker's gun attack ignore opponent resist/block/etc

@@bainz Oh nice. I’m still learning more about p5 royal. I just beat kaneshiro and now i’m in july

It's not impossible, but you'd have to get multiple crits in a row during Phase 3

Or do insane damage so you only need one Crit or skip the phase altogether

@@bainz Would a 2 team with just Kasumi and no DLc 'sonas be any eaasier?

@@pudgeypig3521 personally I think it's a lot easier, but still a pain, especially in phase 4.

well I did it whitout Miryad Thruths, you can use Asterious instead of Izanagi for Phase 1, I use izanagi because Futaba always heal me on the worst time posible :(, if you do it like this, you will need just 2 crits in a row to make it to phase 4, just build a persona whit all the crits boost like apt pupil, adverse resolve(you need to put vitality of the tree trait for this to work) and trigger happy so you can reach the 60% crit cap whitout the buff crit, here is the video on how I beat her, whit this method I beat her 1 out a 8 times, saddly is the most consistent way to beat her whitout Myriad Thruths that I know kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y691pJhzyt2zk40.html

Just going to the gym/temple over and over

@@bainz thanks

Bainz I tried to fight her last run with Izanagi no Okami but I still couldn’t do enough damage for the first even with haru buffing me and akechi debuffing. How the hell did you do it alone with izanagi?

@@Kurokun01 Not 100% certain, but I believe Lavenza has a hidden resistance to Almighty during Phase 1. So using the appropriate element is better there. But Myriad Truths should still be enough with a full party. Country Maker scales damage based on compendium completion so maybe fill that up more?

Bainz I have it to 100 percent lol

I have a question. I still haven't beat Lavenza at all. To be able to fight her solo, do you need to beat her first with the team? Or is it some kind of DLC option to fight her solo?

@@serenityssolace just don’t bring in a team while fighting her

Will of the Sword is bugged to give Auto-Concentrate at start of battle

@@bainz Holy shit, dude. Thank you for paying attention to a months-old video long enough to give me this info for my favorite game that I'd never learn otherwise. And about how you froze her with your gun, I'm not really having any luck getting the status to take effect, I'm using Cocytus I. Is there any other secret tricks for that? And my last question is, do you HAVE to hit her with Dream Needle to end the tech phase?

@@Len-jk4zi Not 100% sure, but having Ailment Boost/Freeze Boost/Ambient Aid(on rainy/snowy day) on your equipped Persona could raise the odds of the Freeze Gun. There are a few Phys/Gun skills that apply Sleep/Dizzy but Dream Needle is the best bc crit chance can be raised with Apt Pupil+Trigger Happy, as they stack.

@@bainz Is that a bug? I thought that was intended.

Almighty Amp needs Network Fusion

It gives Insta-Heal, so it's useful if you want that on each Persona

Lots of gym and temple, stat boosts carry over on NG+

that’s probably impossible or you would need to get super lucky

@@blueapp1e820 no it's downright impossible

it sadly borders on impossible without Myriad Truths, it’s probably doable with amazing luck

It's basically RNG fiesta!

Its almost impossible
