The Reaper Pre-Battle Guide

Weaknesses

Best Characters for Party

Makoto

Sophia

Ryuji

Technically, it does not matter who you bring along so long as they are the highest levelled characters in your pool. Make sure to include Sophia however for her healing skills.

The Reaper Battle Guide

A difficult fight due to The Reaper having no weaknesses you can easily exploit. Make sure to include all of the strongest party members you can before beginning the fight. Lastly, try and get Makoto to increase her showtime gauge quickly, as she can deal 1000 DMG per showtime use depending on your level.

Persona Use

If you have included a dedicated healer in your party, they will be the one whose SP you will most likely have to keep high due to the amount of healing skills you will need in this fight. Try to keep them away from trouble, and use the heavy hitters in your group to take the health out of The Reaper.

The Reaper Attacks

Skill	Affinity	Effect
Magarudyne		Sends out three cyclones of wind that rushes out from where The Reaper directs them. These are easy to dodge if you keep at a distance when The Reaper begins to cast this skill.
Maragidyne		Several fireballs will appear above The Reaper's head. Move away from him and begin running left to right. The balls, when shot at you, move a medium pace and as such, are easy to dodge.
Maziodyne		Observe the ground when this is cast – avoid the lightning strike and jump over the wave that it sends out.
Maeigaon		The Reaper will dash forwards, leaving behind a trail of several cursed spots. Getting caught in the dash will deal massive damage against you.
Mabufudyne		A glacial blast that will send shards of ice to protrude from the ground. Jump to avoid these, or simply move away once the ground glows blue.
Freidyne		A ball of energy that will create an increasing wave once it touches the ground, targeting you. Create distance between you and The Reaper, and move out of the way once the ball shoots towards you.
Psiodyne		A Psy attack, where a circular field will chase you before collapsing in for an explosive strike. Run around to avoid this.
Riot Gun		Consecutive concussive shots, ending with one huge shot that can kill if you do not manage to avoid the prior shots.

The Reaper also possesses one last strike called Megidolaon, a heavy almighty attack that can cause severe damage if you cannot avoid. It is similar in effect to Freidyne.
