A few of the Gatekeepers in the Arqa block of Tartarus inPersona 3 Reloadwill appear back-to-back, giving you little time to prepare. Just one floor after The Heretic Magus, the Disturbing Dice will be ready to take advantage of your weakened state. Unfortunately, there is no teleporter here or on the previous floor to the entrance of Tartarus, meaning you have no choice but to fight.

To make matters worse, the Disturbing Dice has no weaknesses and fights alongside two Slaughter Twins. Winning this fight hinges on your ability to deal with the twins quickly and mitigate damage from physical attacks.

Affinities and Weaknesses (Slaughter Twins)

Resist

The Disturbing Dicewill cast Revolution at the beginning of the fight and recast Revolution if its effects end. This skill raises the odds of landing critical hits for everyone in the battle. The Slaughter Twins will thenrely solely on physical attacks in an attempt to land critical attacks.

Luckily,your party is also affected by Revolution, giving Personas with physical skills a steep advantage.

Using Sift Strike with Valkyrie to attack the Disturbing Twice and the Slaughter Twins in Persona 3 Reload.

The Slaughter Twinsuse a combination of Strike and Pierce attacksto try to knock down your party. Valkyrie and Zouchouten resist Pierce and Strike, respectively, making them excellent choices to bring to this fight. If you can’t wield Zouchouten, you can also use Ara Mitama or Chimera for their resistance to Strike attacks.

If the Slaughter Twins are alive,the Disturbing Dice will repeatedly cast Bewilderto try and Distress your party. When inflicted with Distress, your party memberswill be even more susceptible to critical hits.To cure Distress, have Yukari cast Patra or use a Patra Gem.

After landing a critical hit,the Slaughter Twins will follow up with Eiha, so it’s best to avoid bringing Personas weak to Darkness.Personas such as Unicorn and Archangel will leave you exposed. Just leave it to Akihiko to handle the twins.
