It’s important to note thatErebus also has a wealth of passive skillsto bolster its already impressive stats.
Because of this, you’ll all but need tohave access to status ailment-curing items or spells.
While it’s tempting,avoid using your Theurgy moves immediatelywhen the battle begins.
Guarding may be the difference between surviving the onslaught and being knocked out.
Finally, Erebus loves messing with everyone’s stats, both its own and your teams.
Hopefully you’ve brought a few Homonculi to prevent teammates from being one-hit KO’ed.
Akihiko has his use during the physical damage portion, but Junpei and Metis shine during both.
When Erebus is in itsDowned Form, however, it takes increased damage from most elemental magic.
As such,use your heaviest magic damage on the Downed Formto output the highest amount of damage.
There are more than four dozen trophies in P3R, so get ready to get fighting.
