Investigation Team Party Builds, Skills, & Stats
By Sleeping Bear
Here I will list all of the skills that your companions can learn (including through level up, social links and biking). I will then list my suggestions for progression and then what are the best end game skills to pick in my opinion. Feel free to leave a comment if you have a suggestion. Might do a section for the MC as well.

Yu Narukami - Intro (W.I.P.)
So for this section, I've decided to list some Persona's that I am using that I feel are worth using or leveling up with. As I play through the game more, I'll be updating this along the way but I'll do my best to add in any Persona's or Skills I missed out on.

Though having said that, Matarukaja can easily replace Regenerate 3 for Kanji as the HP regen is more of a nice little bonus.
Sleeping Bear  [author] Oct 5, 2022 @ 3:18pm 
@Shinigami Miroku Reason why I didn't bother with Matarukaja for Kenji myself is that he should really only be doing Power Charge then either Primal Force or Atom Smasher. I had Chie used Dragon Hustle for the triple party buff (despite the cost) for when I needed it for bosses. Yu is indeed better for Debuffing with Debilitate or as DPS. Chie with Mabufu can work for knockdown but I prefer having a slightly stronger single target DPS and save the multi hit element attacks for the other members.

Naoto's choice of four elements come down to who else is in your main party and trying to fit in the gaps. I prefer to have the option of two elements as Invig-3 offers so little in the long term (but can be good if money is low).
Shinigami Miroku Oct 5, 2022 @ 11:51am 
May I suggest that Kanji run Matarukaja instead of Elec Boost? Kanji mostly just needs the Elec element for knockdown - same as with Chie, who I usually keep Mabufu on for cheap party-knockdown rather than straight damage output - so Matarukaja allows him to support the party (especially if, like me, you run an all-guy party for the bosses an use Yu for straight DPS and enemy-debuffing) while also powering his physical damage up even more.

Conversely, I typically drop Agidyne from Naoto's list in favor of Invig-3 because, while it's nice to get the knockdown, she prefers to follow-up the others with a massive Megidolaon anyway (and Yukiko has the superior Agidyne anyway).

Kenji doesn't need Elec boost on his build. His best weapon from the Reaper provides that.
Sleeping Bear  [author] Apr 19, 2021 @ 11:42am 
@Teku Squid Thank you for letting me know about Rise's incorrect skills.
Teku Squid Nov 11, 2020 @ 7:05pm 
It might also be a good idea to note that you can have your party members regain any lost skills by taking them to the hot springs, in case you accidentally get rid of, say, Samarecarm on Teddie, or opted for Vorpal Blade on Naoto and found that it wasn't working too well.
Teku Squid Nov 11, 2020 @ 6:08pm 
On Rise's Final Build you have Healing Wave (5% HP heal) over Stamina Song (10% HP heal) and Relaxing Wave (5% SP Heal) versus Vigor Song (10% HP heal).
Teku Squid Nov 11, 2020 @ 6:03pm 
Why is Chie's Final Build have Bufula over Bufudyne? Also, you should make a guide on what skill cards come from which personas when using the Cafe in Okina City, to help with any sort of 'Yu Final Builds'
Sleeping Bear  [author] Jul 9, 2020 @ 7:52am 
@TimeCatastrify [sups.gg] Thank you for noticing that!
TimeCatastrify Jul 8, 2020 @ 7:59pm 
You have Rise's SL and Level skills switched.
