Some of these voices may be new to the Persona series, but you've definitely heard them elsewhere before.
PostsThough you can exploit one Shadow’s Wind weakness, bringing the obvious Wind user on the team is a bad idea with the other Shadow casting some powerful Electric damage. It’s up to Aigis to handle the Wind weakness and help the team tackle the colossal HP pool on the other boss Shadow.
Harmony Giant And Judgement Sword Affinities And Attacks
You'll encounter the Harmony Giant and Judgement Sword boss Shadow fight on Caina B14, with the usual checkpoint floor directly above on the previous floor of Caina so you can go back to the Desert of Doors if need be (saving, rearranging the party, healing, etc.). When you head down to the fight, we recommend bringing the following teammates along:
- Metis thankfully has no weaknesses for the enemy Shadows to exploit, she's got access to Ice magic, and her Theurgy move Orgia Mode is liable to hit both Shadows despite their conflicting physical affinities.
- Koromaru makes a better choice for Fire magic than Junpei here due to their affinities and nullifications. Koromaru also has support moves and can fall back on his Dark magic for normal damage in a fight where the Shadows can be hit by so little.
- Ken is not only a good healer for this fight, but bringing him to do so here over Yukari prevents the Shadows from exploiting her weakness to Electric attacks. He, like Koromaru, can fall back on his Light magic to deal damage.

It always pays to come into battle with everyone's Theurgy gauges charged and ready to attack. Orgia Mode with Metis is indispensible in a fight where the last Shadow standing all but requires physical damage, while Ken and Koromaru can both deal heavy Light and Dark damage with their attacks.

PostsHow To Beat Judgement Sword And Harmony Giant
Though it's tempting to use your multi-attacks in any fight where there's more than one Shadow to handle, your best bet during this boss fight is to get rid of Judgement Sword first. Both Shadows are pretty tough, but not only does Judgement Sword have a weakness you can exploit, you've also got enough problems with Harmony Giant's large HP pool.
Since we didn't bring Yukari into the fight but still have a Wind weakness we can exploit with Judgement Sword, you'll need to have Aigis deal Wind damage in battle (despite Judgement Sword's Dodge Wind), but just be mindful that you don't leave her open to an Electrical weakness in the process. Always check your current Persona's affinities before attacking so Aigis doesn't get caught in something nasty on the enemy's next attack.
Once you're down to just Harmony Giant, you'll want to attack Harmony Giant with anything but Strike, Electric, and Wind to chip away at its colossal amount of HP. This is something of a battle of attrition, since Harmony Giant has no weakness to exploit, so you're in for the long haul here.
As always, look to everyone's Theurgy moves as your hope for critical damage, since they're more likely to land crits and knock Harmony Giant down, opening the floor for an all-out attack to deal even more damage while it's down. Take any chance for a follow-up you can get, and if possible, get rid of Sukukaja if you're struck by it, to ensure your teammates are all hitting with 100 percent accuracy - the fight is long enough without missing on your turn.
Rewards For Defeating Harmony Giant And Judgement Sword In Episode Aigis
Once Harmony Giant finally goes down, you've got a wealth of rewards to collect just up ahead! Hopefully you've found five Twilight Fragments in total between the overworld areas and the way leading to the boss fight, since inside of them, you'll find:
- Foreign Drama DVD, which you can watch back at the dorm with Yukari as a Linked Episode item.
- Insulated Tights are a nice new pair of footwear for your female teammates.
- Large Bone, another item to awaken your team's combat characteristics back at the dorms.
Additionally, your next Major Arcana card comes from this battle, too! The Justice Major Arcana card will offer you the chance to choose an additional card from every Shuffle Time draw for the rest of your exploration through the Abyss of Time, lasting until you return to Iwatodai Dorm for any reason.
