The last time you can advance the Justice S. Link appears to be 11/3

Go into the difficulty settings and turn Exp up to “More” unless you like grinding.

A single-target elemental dmg skill is better than a multi-target skill of the same type and lower dmg class. The opposite is true for healing abilities, since enemies don’t tend to focus fire. Either a target is by itself, or you can chain between similar enemies. This doesn’t carry over to variants of Mudo/Hama, bc most enemies don’t seem to be immune and it can theoretically clear a group to save the IT’s collective sorry hides.

For the love of Izanagi, don’t try to make a Jack-of-All-Stats as regards damage types. Only one ally pulls it off and the corresponding skill pool is notably shallow. Being a “Wild Card” means you can afford to swap between Crippling Overspecializations. I’m on NG+ rn, but look at what I did to poor Pale Rider before I learned better in comparison to Nebiros.
/cringe
I wasn’t paying attn to Marge’s message about “Don’t overload the chars”, so I tried to get several high dmg skills on one Persona. Not only is it ill-advised, but like, you can only pass on so many skills at once.

Now I’ve got a proper balance with (as of 7/27/20):

• 62 Uriel – Hamaon/Megidola/Mediarahan, immu to Dark
• 48 Seiruu – Mazionga/Recarm with Ziodyne on deck
• 69 Jatayu – Magarudyne/Vile Assault/Amrita, immu to Panic and repel Elec
• 66 Nebiros – see above
• 44 Raja Naga – Traesto/Trafuri, immu to Panic and endures Dark

Funny thing happened; an enemy Makarakarn’d itself, thereby reflecting one magic attack, and I hit it with an Electric attack that Lilith reflects as well. Apparently it doesn’t ping back and forth but just treats the second Repel in the sequence like a Null.

The last day to go shopping/sell everything is 3/20.
