Noble Seeker Battle Strategy

The battle against the three Noble Seeker guardians in Persona 3 Portable is mostly a matter ofcovering your weak spots.

This is because each Noble Seeker shadow will focus onusing -dyne magic attacksagainst the team. They don’t seem to target your team’s weaknesses, but if they luck into hitting one, they’ll usually use their One Moreattack to capitalize.

Their One Moreis usually when you’ll see theMa- skills and Vorpal Blade. They don’t typicallybeginwith these moves, but they will exploit them if they’ve already hit a weak spot.

BothAigis and Kenwill be yourprimary attackershere, along withyour MC. Keep everyone focused on outputting as muchstrongphysical damageas they can.

Meanwhile,Koromaruis best on defense. He does know a few stat-boost moves, so use his turns on those,use itemsto heal or buff, orperform standard physical attacks.

HisHigh Counteris great defense against Vorpal Blade should the Noble Seeker use it, but hewon’t do much offensively.

Follow this pattern until the battle ends. Once it does, yourJudgment social linkwill advance toRank 3.
