Team composition

The key to beating Quest 3 is to take down the enemies behind cover in wood structure at the centre of the arena as quickly as possible. To do this, you’ll want a team that can dish out high damage within a large area. Haru and Ryuji are locked picks, leaving you only one thief to choose. Here are two viable options:

• Ann – her upgraded Agi skill, Maragion, can tear through up to 9 enemies at a time. Make sure to enable the skill before starting Quest 3.
• Joker – his upgraded Eiha skill, Maeiga, works well as an AoE attack. Remember to enable Maeiga before taking on Quest 3.

How to beat Persona 5 Tactica Quest 3

Here’s how to complete Quest 3 in Persona 5 Tactica:

• Switch over to Ann and target all nine enemies in the wood box at the centre of the arena using Maragion. This will kill them all, triggering a fresh batch of enemies to spawn in the adjacent box.

• Switch Ryuji and move as close to the enemies as possible. Use Mazio to defeat the six enemies closest to him. Make sure to target the defenceless one at the centre to trigger a One More Attack.
• Use the one more attack to target and defeat the three remaining enemies with a standard gun attack, which thanks to Ryuji’s shotgun will target all of them. A fresh group of enemies will spawn next to Ann on the other side of the arena.

• Switch to Haru and use her gun attack to target two of the three enemies on her side, including the vulnerable one to get a One More Attack. Use it to gun down the low health enemy.

• Switch to Ryuji and move him near the enemy in cover near the wooden fence. Use a gun attack to target all three and get a One More Attack from the vulnerable one out in the open. Use his gun to target all three again to defeat two of them.
• Switch to Ann and use her gun to take out the remaining enemy on Ryuji’s side.
• Switch to Haru and use her Psio Persona skill to attack the last and final enemy. If they are still alive, use your last turn to kill them off using any of your characters and either gun or Persona attacks.

✓ Tip

Triple Threat works as well

The above method works well but you can also set up a Triple Threat All-Out attack or several by capitalising on the three vulnerable, defenceless enemies.

If you followed the steps above, Persona 5 Tatica should be all wrapped up. You’ll get 20 GP for your efforts for Haru, Ann, and Ryuji to spend as you see fit on Skills at the Hideout.
