The Hermit boss isn't a big deal. The MC can solo it with electric break Mothman, but Fuuka won't let you go alone. I had Aigis, Yukari, and Mitsuru die in that fight so I could take all the exp for myself.

Solo MC was also a pretty popular way to play the game in FES.

@@24hr-Gaming I guess the AI controlled party members in FES weren't very good. Around the mid-game, the player can start making personas that are immune to the attacks of many mini-bosses. A lot of the time I would fight alone and turn on rush and youtube.

Yeah fusion and well in FES the MC's theurgy spells are just spells you can use as long as the Persona are in your party. That and there's no guard so if you have a party member that's weak to anything, you're going to have a really bad time. The AI control is also pretty bad. There's no way to disable spells you don't want them to use, so for example mid-game you have some really bad problems with characters that learn Break spells because they'll use them even in situations where it doesn't make sense.

My mid game setup was koromaru (permanent), yukari and ken. It's a support build, especially for that siegfried crit build. The end game (just Adamah) was aigis, koromaru and junpei.

Personally I think you put too much stock in individual party member damage for these overall rankings. Having a support party member can boost your overall dps with the MC’s turns especially being able to focus more on offence. Ken’s Divine Intervention especially allows you to go all out and play super recklessly and boosts your overall damage (Ken imo is the best party member from the moment he gets Divine Intervention with his wide array of support options and how he enables safe all out offence play styles with his super fast charging theurgy. Plus his SP restoration, multiple elements and access to healing make him great for Tartarus). Damage is good, yes, but it’s not everything. Junpei has great damage potential but is way too inconsistent especially in bosses until he gets Apt Pupil equipment; he doesn’t do great damage at all if he doesn’t crit and his support is really lacking. He’s great for Tartarus though with his multi target moves having the highest chance to crit out of your party members, but yet again he can be so easily replaced and outclassed by a persona on the main character in that role which I think you also have to take into account. I am enjoying the list and overall breakdown though, you’ve clearly put a lot of time and thought into this, and it’s great to see someone acknowledging Yukari isn’t an amazing party member gameplay wise lol, I’ve been fighting that fight since the dawn of Reload.

Junpei's damage is very good once you get Koromaru. And even prior than that you can use Eerie Sound and Rebellion to keep his crits more consistent. And even without crits, Assault Dive, Torrent Shot, and Deathbound all do pretty high damage, not to mention he has the strongest theurgy in the game. Once you unlock upgraded Ambush, you'll always have at least one enemy with Distress applied. Not to mention, Junpei's crit chance also allows you to apply more damage with other party members by taking advantage of both Shift and Down damage modifiers. Ken is very good. Divine Intervention is broken, but he can't compete with the top tiers in damage. For example, on level, Junpei can one shot a lot of the Tartarus bosses. So can Akihiko. Ken is good in situations where you bring weaker party members that will make the fight longer. For example, for example when damage testing with the magic users he solo carried a lot of the Monad bosses. But the typical phys team wouldn't have even had that problem in the first place. The only unique place he shines is fighting the Reaper early on. And you can't replace Junpei with the main character. Crit Amp is an additonal modifier that the MC doesn't have. That's why Hack n' Blast does more damage than even Scarlet Havoc.

Crit Amp’s damage buff is pretty irrelevant for most Tartarus fights since their HP isn’t enough for it to really matter (it does matter in bosses though), and the protagonist is likely going first and can easily get a higher crit rate on multi target slash moves, like on Siegfried who is required for an Elizabeth quest. Junpei is good in Tartarus yes, but he’s very replaceable mid to late game in that role. My overall experience with him is very hit or miss, even with Koromaru and Crit Amp he was very inconsistent with crits in my experience. Plus if someone’s unreliable in damage I expect them to be better on the support side at least, but he just isn’t. Sometimes he busts out these monstrous numbers in fights and other times he just falls completely flat even with Apt Pupil and Revolution, so his average dps in many fights just isn’t great. Someone like Akihiko is just way more reliable for that role, and he’s not shut down if the enemy resists physical as a little bonus. Ken isn’t meant to do damage at all, trying to build his dps is a waste, I’ve tried and it’s completely ineffective. He doesn’t contribute damage directly but what he does do is enable that damage. Having a full heal and complete protection allows you to go ham on any fight with basically no downtime. His Heat Riser can reset buffs on characters that need it since sometimes you really don’t need everyone to have buffs to be efficient. Akihiko really appreciates this for example. Ken’s ultimate defence and support enables the ultimate offence safely for everyone else, including the protagonist.

Junpei not being good in Tartarus regular enemies is false since you can get upgraded Ambush which guarantees Junpei two turns. The protagonist is not guaranteed to go first unless you're going to spend money burning Incenses on an auto-Ma persona to ensure he goes first. MC going first is also bad because you can't benefit from debuff damage, shift damage, or down damage. Early game Junpei's still the highest damaging party member. You can check the Early game video where I damage test on both bosses and normal enemies every month. There is no period besides maybe Aigis's first month and Shinjiro's first month that he's not the highest damaging character. The only demerit he has is Akihiko is more flexible, but when it comes to sheer damage no one can compete with him. Ken is 100% meant to do damage. If he can outdo Mitsuru with both Concentrate and a Magic ability weapon, he is meant to do damage. If he had a Pierce Boost weapon, I would consider him S tier since at that point he would be defensive Koromaru.

Junpei does good damage early game yes, he does good damage the entire time but it’s just far outpaced if he’s not critting. Also I’m talking about regular Tartarus enemies here, the protagonist is pretty much always going first with a fast persona barring Koromaru, and Junpei’s agility isn’t amazingly high or anything. You don’t need debuff sand all that for regular old enemies you’re ambushing at all, and the protagonist has a much more consistent crit rate. Same thing kinda applies to gatekeepers and monad bosses at that point, they aren’t that tanky if you’ve got crit cheese. Ken’s ROLE is not dps, he’s best as a defensive support and enabler. His damage isn’t great as you’ve said, so why focus so hard on it? And why hold it against him in that case? Yukari seems like she was meant to have some damage focus with her Tranquility but she’s also more support, Mitsuru is clearly meant to be magic dps but the game just does magic dirty so yeah it’s fair to judge at least Mitsuru for her dps a bit more. Ken has more to offer outside of damage unlike many other characters.
