Affinities and Weaknesses
Attacks and Skills
Magarula
This is a Wind skill that will do medium damage to your entire team
Mazionga
This is an Electric skill that does medium damage to your entire team
The Pagoda of Disaster is convenientlyweak to Strike physical attacks, which your team is not in short supply of.
Be careful when using elemental skills. BothElectric and Wind damage will heal this bossdue to its affinities.
The floor guardian itself, Pagoda of Disaster, is nothing but a spell cannon. It willcontinuously launch a barrage of attacks every turnit can since it only knows Magarula and Mazionga. This enemy’s stats will get completely out of control once it has been buffed by its allies.
Tome Of Persecution Affinity And Skills
The two Tomes of Persecution only exist to make their leader, the Pagoda of Disaster, an unstoppable force with theirthree different buffing moves.
Increases all party members' Attack for 3 turns
Increases all party members' Accuracy and Evasion for 3 turns
Increases all party members' Defense for 3 turns
Bufudyne
This Ice skill does heavy damage to one of your party members
Each of the boss’s allies, the two Tomes of Persecution, have the same affinities this time around unlike bosses on recent floors—looking at you Jotun of Authority—These two minions areboth weak to Dark. The Pagoda of Disaster is normally affected by Dark, so usingmulti-target Dark moveswould be beneficial.
These minions will heal whenever any Ice damage is inflicted on them.
Both of the Tomes of Persecution know the same four moves: Bufudyne, Matarukaja, Masukukaja, and Marakukaja. Each minion will use one of the three buffing moves until all the foes have the buff associated with each one.
After there are no buffs left to give out, these enemies will use Bufudyne or just physically attack a target.
Pagoda Of Disaster Battle Guide
On the151st floor of Tartarusawaits three enemies: the floor guardian, Pagoda of Disaster, and its two minions, the Tomes of Persecution. This trio is very tricky to defeat, requiring specific team members to navigate their elemental affinities and have the right skills to counteract their buffing tactics. Therecommended level for this boss is 50.
Since the three of these enemies use skills fromWind, Ice, and Electric, you will want to avoid bringing team members that may be weak to these elements. That meansYukari and Aigis must stay homeor risk being taken out without a second thought.
Team Composition
When the fight starts, make sure your first priority is defeating the two minions, as leaving them up for even a single buff cast can devastate your team.
Koromaru Can Take Care Of Both Tomes Of Persecution
The best team member to swiftly defeat the two tomes is Koromaru thanks to hisCerberus Persona.
Koromaru shoulduse Maeiga every time he is able to. This will cause both of the Tomes of Persecution to be Downed as long as the attack does not miss. Afterward, switch to a member who can blast the Pagoda of Disaster witha Strike physical skill during “the one” more window.
With all three enemies knocked down, you and your teammates can hit the boss and its minions with All-Out attacks.
Akihiko Is Going To Smash The Pagoda Of Disaster
When considering your team selection, it is important to watch out for affinity weaknesses. However, in this case, Akihiko is so powerful - and the two Tomes of Persecution are so weak - that you should heavily consider taking Akihiko as he can do massive damage to the Pagoda of Disaster, effectively halving the time this encounter will take.
After knocking down the two minions with Maeiga, once Koromaru has an opportunity to pass to a teammate,pass the baton to Akihikoto land an incredible Gigantic Fist on the Pagoda of Disaster to set up an All-Out attack.
Alternatively, if it is Akihiko’s turn and no enemies have been downed yet, complete the previous operations in reverse order.
Bring Mitsuru To Pump Out Damage
At the recommended level of 50,Mitsuru’s Persona Penthesileahas one of the scariest move sets available. Her Persona has two passives,Ice Boost and Freeze Boost, which can make her a massive boon in any fight where Ice is a viable option.
Penthesilea also has access toIce Break, which negates the Ice resistances of all enemies for three turns. This will cause both minions to not only lose their Drain affinity to Ice but also become normally affected by it and able to be frozen. Combine that with the two passives mentioned earlier, and Mitsuru will lay the enemies down for good.
Start your first round with Mitsuru by using Ice Break. Then, on the subsequent turn, just lay into the trio with Mabufula, heavily chunking their health.
The Protagonist Needs Dekaja For The Enemy
With two enemies using party-wide buffing moves, a cast will inevitably go off. If that happens, you willneed to use Dakaja to clear the buffsoff of the foes. Since none of the other selected members have this skill, the responsibility will fall on the Protagonist.
The best Persona for this fight would be theDeath Arcana, Pisaca. There are several Personas that know Dejaka, but they all come with some kind of affinity disadvantage for this fight. Pisaca is the opposite, having resistance to Electric attacks.
Pisaca also comes with two other important boons. First, it can use Maeiha to inflict decent damage on the two minions and Down them. Second, it can useFoul Breath on an enemy to make it more susceptible to Mitsuru’s already scary high chance of Freezing them.
