Lovers is a Storyline boss in Persona 3 Reload that can be fought at Shirakawa Boulevard. Read on to learn how to beat Lovers, know its location, weaknesses and resistances, as well as the recommended party and Personas for defeating Lovers.
Use Patra to Cure Charm
Yukari’s Patra skill can cure Charm, which is inflicted after Lovers uses its Holy Arrow skill. It also helps to have the Protagonist have a Patra skill on hand as well, when Yukari has been afflicted with Fear.
The Lovers can also use Seductive Breath to increase ailment susceptibility and Sexy Dance to inflict Charm on all party members. Be ready with Yukari’s Patra and have some Dis-Charm and Patra Gem items on hand for other members to use in a pinch.
Beware of Heartbreaker
The Lovers’ Heartbreaker skill is a powerful move that inflicts damage on all your party members and triple damage on those afflicted with Charm. Make sure you cure Charm before Lovers uses this skill, as it is devastating.
Use Theurgy Attacks
Unleashing your party members’ powerful Theurgy Attacks will make the fight go by much faster. Make sure to use it whenever it is available!
Additionally, having your party focus on Physical skills, which take away part of their HP, will encourage Yukari to use healing skills more often, thus speeding up her Theurgy buildup.
Debuff Using Rakunda, Tarunda and Sukunda
Akihiko’s Rakunda, Tarunda and Sukunda skills will lessen The Lovers’ attack, defense, and accuracy/evasion making its attacks less dangerous and allowing it to be defeated much quicker.
Focus on Physical Attacks
Use the Protagonist and Junpei to focus powerful medium-damage Physical attacks on the Lovers to deal high amounts of damage. Junpei’s propensity for critical attacks will also open it up to All-Out Attacks, which help out immensely in getting its HP down.
