A lot of people don't seem to know what skill mutations are or how it works. It's briefly in the description but I'm making this a pinned comment so I can just keep referring people to it. I will explain the full strategy in order to mutate anything you want at any level and how the Reaper AI works so anyone can try this for themselves. First just know it will take a lot of saving and reloading and second a lot of money. I did this at minimum level so up until this area it was a mandatory fights only run, with the occasional fight to gain skill cards once I hit Arqa. The Reaper spawns F62 first so you cant fight him lower level so by missing all fights possible I could stay low levelled. Once I beat Emperor and Empress I used the guardian skip method showcased in my other video to stop gaining exp from any guardian in the 2nd half of Arqa. Doing all this meant I barely gained money so in order to get money I worked jobs and smashed breakables to sell materials. 99x of all Thebel materials can net you over 100k yen in a single tartarus trip and that's excluding other chest items and when you hit Arqa you can get even more. After accumulating a ton of money you then fuse 2 personas. Any 2 it doesn't matter since the 4 skills I wanted are passives any persona can inherit them. You can use skill cards you have to fill empty slots in your personas to allow the full 4 moves to pass down. Essentially you save and fuse until a tier 1 skill mutates into a tier 2. Then you take this new persona and fuse it with anything else until that tier 2 skill mutates into a tier 3. Then 4, 5 and 6. Any time a mutation did not happen I simply reloaded to save money. Repel Passives are tier 7s so at this point it becomes a bit more tedious in that you need the mutation to be the exact skill you want but its the same thing you reset until the tier 6 mutates into Repel Strike for example. Now you can mutate another skill upwards and as long as every fusion you make sure to pass down Repel Strike you will keep it. Eventually after hours of resets you will get Repel Strike, Repel Slash, Repel Pierce and Null Dark. Null Dark is tier 6 so it's the same you just need to do it lower than the repels. Once you have all 4 moves I just found a fusion combination that ended with the result being Archangel and pass all 4 of them down and there is your triple repel Archangel. It's impossible to mutate more than 4 this low level but with special fusions you can do 5. But anymore than 5 is strictly not possible. The other 4 moves were put on via skill cards that are obtainable at this point in the game. Now for the fight itself. Essentially if you are under the fear condition (or any conditon that increases the probability of crits) the reaper will try to exploit you by ALWAYS using a physical move. He picks his move before his target so when solo it is exceedingly rare he will target your weakness normally. However when exploiting you his AI doesn't look for passives so here we use Weird Takoyaki in an attempt to keep ourselves under a constant state of fear. The 2 issues are it's a low chance to happen so this is very rng based even if you have the setup correct and if you are at full hp you cannot use the item. To mitigate the first one we enter the fight at 1hp to allow us 3 uses of Weird Takoyaki and give ourself a physical move, we use this when at full hp in order to drain it back down to allow us another use, there is luck in this too in that when under the fear condition you have a chance to not act. Any other time we have a free turn we use Rakunda to debuff the Reaper to make him take more damage. The first half of the fight he will use 2 single target physical moves of any type randomly with the highest chance being a Slash at 50.5%, Strike being 25% and Pierce being 24.5% except on a 1 more he will always Primal Force in this scenario. When you hit the last half of his hp he will use either Vorpal Blade or Akasha Arts with Vorpal Blade being a 50.5% chance and Akasha Arts being 49.5% meaning Pierce Repel is not needed at this part of the run since he will never use it. The problem with choosing a persona for this section is his second move per turn he will use an Instant Kill move which will always hit you. This isn't the end of the world as homunculus will save you, however doing so will remove your fear condition and that creates a ton more rng having to reapply fear every single turn so here I used Archangel as he naturally Nulls Light. Remember I can only mutate 4 skills maximum so my 4th skill is Null Dark to prevent insta kills from removing my status ailment. Then it's just pray that rng is in your favour. Hope that clears up anything ♡

Just curious, did you reset for every single fusion that didn't mutate? The chance of mutation on a given fusion is multiplied depending on how many fusions you've done on the current day (up to 5x after 50 fusions), so it should actually save you time/money if you allow some failures.

@Ziroikabi

3 ай бұрын

I kept going if a different skill mutated so like say I was at tier 6 going for a repel and a tier 2 mutated to tier 3 I kept that since that would help with another. I knew about the mutation and accidents increasing every 10 fusions in increments but CTOBN who originally datamined it all told me it resets after a success so that would just mean more money wasted but potentially faster mutations since I wouldnt need to reset and could gain the multiplier. But honestly got a bit lazy and tired of smashing items to sell for money since that took such a long time and since I had a "low" amount I really need each fusion to have a mutation and count for something

A few small corrections. For one, the counter resets each in-game day. I'm not sure when I gave the impression that it was after a success (or if it was before or after I figured out what the counter was), but I apologize for that. Second, a bit more detail on the Reaper's AI targeting. It will specifically check for if a party member has "Confuse" or "Fear" (though the distinction between that and what Ziro said is only relevant for getting Frozen/Shocked randomly or being dizzied after a knockdown, as you cannot self-inflict Distress). If that condition is met, despite only doing this behavior in response to Fear and Confuse, he will then lock himself into a physical move that targets a party member with any standard ailment (if above half HP, otherwise it's AoE anyways. Also "Standard ailment" in this case means excluding Downed, Dead, Orgia Mode, and Overheat). This means that (for example), if you have just a party member with Poison, he will not do this behavior. However if you have a party member with Fear and another party member with Poison, then he will do this behavior, but can target either of those party members.

@@Ziroikabi To speak from my PoV on this, this isn't a "seems to" thing. When the reaper attempts to target weaknesses (which he always does action 1 of turn 1), he will always check if Mitsuru is present before checking for anyone else, and if he detects someone when checking for weaknesses he will go for that weakness 51 times out of 101 (except for Ken, who he will always go for). In addition to that, if he fails the 51/101 all 3 times (which can only happen if Ken isn't present), the random attack he does instead is more likely to incidentally be fire than anything else (aside from Slash or Strike I guess), though the target for it in that scenario would be just non-null rather than Mitsuru specifically.

This is interesting. How’d you get a tier 7 skills to mutate for, when the earliest you can get a Tier 7 skill-having Persona is on level 40 (Vidyaraja’s Blessing from DLC’s Cendrillon)? This is according to the fusion calc’s skill list table ofc

@Ziroikabi

Skill mutations. Fuse 2 personas to upgrade the tier by 1. Fuse off the result to something else till that upgraded move mutates again to higher tier. Lots of save scumming and time was involved obviously. And you can only pass down 4 moves at once so the maximum I could have is 4 moves being the 3 repels and 1 null dark. The other 4 moves were skill cards obtainable that early

I can't believe you got so many reflects

So that I know I've understood right - If a party member is afraid (or otherwise afflicted with a crit up status ailment), the Reaper will always prioritise trying to crit on them with a phys skill and then follow up with an instakill, regardless of resistances? So the goal for this challenge is to stay afflicted with fear for as long as possible, lowering defence when you can and using physical skills to allow you to heal yourself with the odd morsel in hopes of re-afflicting fear before the Reaper's next turn, and letting the repel skills do the rest? Is there any risk that the Reaper will pull out a magic skill while you're afraid and wreck your shit anyway? Or is the only risk that you won't get fear back before it hits you twice in a row with magic skills? Either way - really interesting strat! I don't even want to think about how long that skill mutation abuse must have taken.

Yeah pretty much! no matter what he will always physical. This is my only attempt another member got into the second half of the fight but notice Junpei only died because he confused us and somehow I dodged it so then he tried to exploit him whereas he could have just used magic but didnt. The first half the fight he will double phys from a selection of moves Gods Hand, Brave Blade, Primal Force and then at half hp he will do a Insta Kill + Physical. From then on he will do either Akasha Arts or Vorpal Blade + Insta Kill. The endure is really helpful not just surviving but getting your hp back low for more fear chances and the lower luck stat you have the more turns you can be feared, at this point its 2-4 turns usually 4. Homunculus can be used for the Insta Kills but it will remove your ailment meaning you’d have to reapply fear every single turn eventually being full hp so either would have to pray he ailments or gives you time to drain your own hp. Or you somehow dodge a passive boosted Insta Kill with only 6 luck stat so Archangel or Gurulu are the best bet for this early on

Total hours I don’t know since I was reloading my save file constantly it doesnt have a true final number. But the grinding for money took ages. The mutations were fine until I reached tier 6 where I needed the specific tier 7s so that took a lot of resets. Especially for the last one

I’m guessing having a status effect causes the Reaper to use physical attacks which then allowed you to repel them and with Archangel naturally having null light, you just needed null dark to complete the build that would nullify his light and dark spells. A surprisingly effective strategy indeed.

@Ziroikabi

3 ай бұрын

Yeh any ailment that gives increased crit chance like fear/confusion/distress. We use fear since you cant have full hp to use any heal item and confuse would mean you never get a turn to act so you need turns to use a hp cost move to drain your own hp on purpose. And distress while good cannot be self inflicted. Luckily weird Takoyaki gives fear while only healing 100 unlike every other ailment heal. You dont need to null light and dark since homunculus work but insta kills remove ailments which creates more rng. So either Archangel with Null Dark or Gurulu with Null Light work here

so in summary, you need a preferred sl, do 7 separate fusions, reloading and fusing while waiting for the level up to mutate and get the "repel slash", "repel hit" (I assume that tier 6 is the blocks like this I would have to do that 2 times for light and darkness), in order to have your person checked, what tier are the skills "weaken" and "heart risen"?

He did a great job. That counter activating near the start was actually the only time it ever happened in all my attempts at it haha

Fucking genius daamn

I just got my ass beat by the reaper and now I see a lvl 16 beat it, never felt like having a massive skill issue as much as this one xD

Funy how low % runs are usually harder than normal runs, reeper low% need so much preps

Oh definitely. Speedrunners can get to endgame in around 10 hours on merciless. It took me MUCH longer than that just to do the mutating alone. Even a casual playthrough would likely be faster to fight the reaper lol
