Protagonist	・Rebellion ・Fatal End ・Assault Dive ・Distress Boost ・Crit Rate Boost	Increasing your crit chances with Crit Rate Boost helps a lot in this boss fight. Fatal End and Distress Boost may inflict status effects that boost your crit chances.
Yukari	・Diarama ・Media ・Recarm ・Sukunda	Yukari is your primary healer and will help keep the team alive with Media. Conserve her SP for heals and Sukunda, which will make it easier to hit Cowardly Maya.
Junpei	・Assault Dive	Allowing Junpei to land critical hits will not only open up All-Out Attacks but also increase his Theurgy meter as well, as his Theurgy skill is very powerful. Make sure to equip him with a Critical Enhancer as well.
Akihiko	・Tarunda	Akihiko will serve as support damage, as well as your source of Tarunda, which is necessary for reducing Cowardly Maya's attack, especially after it charges up for a powerful Megido move.

How to Beat Cowardly Maya

The following tips can help you beat Cowardly Maya in battle.

1. Use Sylphid Aura Before Battle
2. Use Physical Skills to Trigger All-Out Attack
3. Use Theurgy Skills
4. Cast Debuffs to Make Fight Easier

Use Sylphid Aura Before Battle

Sylphid Aura is Fuuka's navigational skill that increases your attack, defense, accuracy, and evasion for your next battle. You can only use this skill outside of battle so make sure to use it before engaging with Cowardly Maya.

Use Physical Skills to Trigger All-Out Attack

Cowardly Maya has no weaknesses and resistances so hit it with everything you've got. However, Physical skills like Slash, Pierce and Strike are recommended in order to get a chance to critical hit for an easy All-Out Attack.

Equip Personas with Crit Rate Increases

Crit Rate Boost and Rebellion are good skills for a Persona to have in this battle, as they will make critical hits way easier to land, opening the boss up to All-Out Attacks.

Cast Rebellion on Junpei for a good chance for crits. Additionally, the accessory Critical Enhancer on Junpei will also help.

Use Theurgy Skills

Theurgy Skills are necessary in every boss fight. Make sure to max out everyone's Theurgy meter before heading into battle with Cowardly Maya. These powerful skills will drastically decrease the boss' health, making the fight go by much faster.

Cast Debuffs to Make Fight Easier

Debuff Cowardly Maya with Rakunda, Tarunda and Sukunda to make the battle easier and lessen the boss' Megido attack power after it casts Concentrate to increase its damage.
