Intolerant Officer Battle Setup

With both ice and wind moves at its disposal, a full team for this fight will have at least one person whose weakness is left open. And with Intolerant Officertargeting your teammates' weaknesseswhen choosing its attack, you’ll need to be careful.

Because of this, we’d recommendchoosing between Yukiko or Kanji. We opted to go for Yukiko, as she’s got thehealing skillsthat made her feel worth the risk.

Intolerant Officer Battle Strategy

While it appears to only have one direct weakness,Intolerant Officer also takes bonus damage from ice or wind magic. Because of this,Yosuke and Chiewill likely be your primary attackers here.

Keep them to theirelemental damageto focus on the weak spots with wind and ice, and feel free to follow it up with awind or ice Persona of your ownto really layer on the damage.

Intolerant Officer willfocus its energy on Bufula and Garula, meaning ice and wind are also the primary elements against which you’ll need todefend yourself.

This can be done for Yu byusing Personas that hold up well against ice or wind. Limiting the damage taken by your protagonist is never a bad idea.

When Intolerant Officer can’t exploit a weakness, it will thendefault to its physical attacks. KeepYukiko healingto counteract this, and attack with Yu, Yosuke, and Chie.

Do keep in mind, though, thatAll-Out Attacks are ineffectivein this fight, as they dealalmighty damage, which Intolerant Officerresists.

If given the option for an All-Out Attack,declineand use the bonus move todo elemental damageto Intolerant Officer a second time to deal the most damage.

Follow these steps, and the battle with Intolerant Officer in P4G will be over before long.
