Physical builds aren't worth it until you're at least half-way in the game when most of the demons start fucking you raw with almighty attacks while having a lesser amount of weaknesses.
Most mid-lategame builds uses phys-based stats. For example most powerful build with Paraselene Blur. Plus you can use impaler animus to ignore phys resistance. The only worthy magic build for mid-late game use heavenly ikuyumi, but its damage scale not that good
My point exactly. You should build physical-based team, but only in the later half. It's not worth it in the first half.
Cant agree, you can get Aramasa and Wraith-tempest at the very beginning and they're annihilate most of the early game bosses
Plus in CoV you have human magical teammates, Yoko and Tao, they can perfectly balance your Phys protag
It doesn't counterweight the power of two magical build demons, who give more or less the same amount of damage + two on support. They obliterate everything. Later, maybe, you're right.
I understand your point, the magic build is simply more convenient, since it allows you to focus on the weaknesses of opponents. And this is true, although purely from my experience of dozens of playthroughs of dozens of Atlus games - a balanced build through physical damage from the very beginning annihilates opponents simply through crits. Plus they are somewhat more economical in terms of resource consumption. However, all my arguments are empty if you play on a difficulty lower than the most difficult
The last weekend in 2024. May it bring you at least some relaxation amidst the preparations for the New Year.
I think most of us hope that the new year will be better. Despite everything - I'm glad that I'm still here with all of you
