Description

Persona5: The Phantom X has a much more in-depth combat system than most players will notice. You don’t need a perfect team and strategy to beat all the bosses in the main Palaces to see the full story, though there is a lot more for those looking to maximize a few Phantom Thieves and make a perfect party.

Status Effects can be crucial in turning the tide in a battle or even further your domination, and there are both Elemental and Spiritual status effects to worry about and use. While they are all general status effects, knowing which ones fall under which category can also help you pick the right skills to boost their effectiveness or which to use to heal your party members.

While Psy and Nuclear skills are elemental attacks, they don’t give a specific ailment; instead, they boost the chance to land technical hits.

Psy – Deal a Technical hit with 35% increased damage on enemies with a Spiritual Ailment.
Nuclear – Deal a Technical hit with 18% increased damage on enemies with an Elemental Ailment.
