Jin Shirato Recommended Party Setup

Character Best Skills Explanation
Persona 3 Reload - ProtagonistProtagonist Recarm
Matarukaja

Heat Wave
We want our main character to be dishing out huge physical AoE damage while also supplementing the team with buffs and debuff removal.
Persona 3 Reload - YukariYukari Magarula
Magarudyne
Mediarama
Recarm
Me Patra
Not much is needed from Yukari especially as neither Jin and Takaya nor the Hanged man have any weaknesses. However, Takaya is capable of using Mudoon so having Yukari ready with healing and revival skills are recommended.
Persona 3 Reload - KoromaruKoromaru Revolution
Virus Breath
Getsu-ei
Koromaru can raise the party's critical hit chance with Revolution. As we're going for a physical attack composition, this is going to be our main method of knocking down both enemies.
Persona 3 Reload - AigisAigis Dekunda
Cruel Attack
Myriad Arrows
Aigis will be our secondary or main damage dealer depending on the main character's Persona setup. Aigis will mainly use AoE physical skills or further deal damage to downed enemies with Cruel Attack.

Jin Shirato Recommended Personas

How to Beat Jin Shirato

The following tips can help you beat Jin Shirato in battle.

  1. Bring Homunculus
  2. Focus Jin First
  3. Go All out on Damage

Bring Homunculus

Takaya will be using several instant kill light and dark moves. Instead of drafting a team to counter these, we highly recommend bringing a Homunculus instead. This will also allow you to focus on bringin Persona with a high Magic or Physical stat for your main character.

Focus Jin First

Your primary goal in the fight would be to take down one target first to avoid getting obliterated by coordinated attacks. However, we highly recommend focusing your attacks on Jin if you need to target one over the other.

Jin will be using several debuffs and buffs which can make the fight harder than necessary so removing Jin out of the equation first can reduce the fight's difficulty.

Go All out on Damage

As the duo will focus on using combos on your team, we highly recommend allocating all your resources to dishing out your own damage to them as opposed to playing defensively. Allocate one party member to using recovery spells (mainly Yukari) then let the team continue on dishing out damage to finish the fight.
