How To Defeat The Barbaric Beast Wheel
To defeat the Barbaric Beast Wheel, you shouldfirst deal with the two Magic Hands.
If you’ve found their weakness before, using Assist will show you that the Magic Hands areweak against fire damage. you may use a fire attack, likeAgi, on them togain an extra turn.
The Barbaric Beast Wheel, on the other hand,resists fire damage. It’s weak againstwind attacks, likeGaru.
If you knock the Magic Hands with Agi first, you can use theShift featureto switch toanother Persona userwho has a wind attack.
If you don’t have a wind attack to knock the Barbaric Beast Wheel down, you should deal with the Magic Hands first bywiping them out with fire attacks. This is because they canheal their allieswith Dia, prolonging the fight.
Once you’re able to knock all the Shadows down, you can perform anAll-Out attack.
Keep targeting each Shadow’s weaknesses, and try to ensure you’re knocking them downat the same time. The strongest attack you can make is anAll-Out attack, and this can take outmultiple targets at a time.
