Persona 3 Reloadhas many Guardians strewn throughout every block of Tartarus. Toward the end of the Arqa block of Tartarus, you will encounter a Guardian called Fleetfooted Cavalry. Unlike most prior Guardians, Fuuka will be available to help you deduce the enemy’s weaknesses.
That said, it is always advantageous to get the drop on boss fights by knowing what to do in advance. This is especially true for Guardians who can hit hard and fast, and the Fleetfooted Cavalry surely qualifies as such. Let us help you get nearer to the end of Arqa while leaving this dauntless horseman in the dust.
Affinities and Weaknesses
-
Block
Well, well, well. As we can see, winning the battle against the Fleetfooted Cavalry isnot about learning its weaknesses so much as its resistances.
For starters,Yukari,if she is in your party,should stick primarily to healing.Yukari’s Wind-elemental Garu is, as you can see, entirely counterproductive to our goal.
But being forced to have a dedicated healer is hardly the end of the world. Plus, don’t forget, when Yukari uses herTheurgyattack,it will ignore enemy resistance,so at least there is that.
In any case, simplyensure that Makoto does not strike with Light or Dark elemental spells,and from there, it is little more than a battle of attrition.
Fleetfooted Cavalry Battle Strategy
Despite her diminished offensive value in this fight,Yukari is nevertheless recommendedfor this battle, provided she has reached the level at which she learns herSukundaskill. When dealing with foes that strike this powerfully, it’s handy toreduce Accuracy and Evasion.
That’s a universal rule, of course, but it’s especially true forenemies that tend to hit the entire party at once, which will happen frequently through Arrow Rain. Reduced Accuracy means that the odds are good thatat least someone will elude that strong skill.
Evasion isn’t really Fleetfooted Cavalry’s strong suit, but hey, nothing wrong with the added bonus of making that all the more true.
So, what should everyone else be doing?Wailing on Fleetfooted Cavalry for all they’re worth, and lowering its other statswhenever they can.
Consider havingJunpei raise Makoto’s Defense, for instance, so that you have extra protection in the event the boss threatens to drop our hero.
Consider each party member’s respective strengths; after all, when there areno weaknessesto exploit, butno resistances against most of your elementseither, it all boils down to putting a dent in the opposition as efficiently as possible.
Akihiko should focus on tapping into hishigh Attack stat with Strike damage.Mitsuru should rely upon her high Magic withBufula.Junpei’s Slash damageis his go-to, and Makoto is forever your jack of all trades - just not Light and Dark trades, inthiscase.
