The dungeon in Persona 3 Reload is filled with enemies of all shapes and sizes. The higher up you go in Tartarus, the more powerful the shadows get. Your party will level accordingly if you're vigilant, but you'll still have to choose each move carefully–especially when you encounter the Gatekeeper bosses every few milestone floors.

Best Party Composition
You won't be able to swap out your party members from the last battle, so you'll have to make due with who's already there. However, here are some tips to help you make the most of your party.
- Yukari Takeba. As your support, Yukari can stand her own. Her weakness to Electric can make your party vulnerable, though. Use skills or Magic Mirrors to help reflect the damage so she doesn't get knocked down.
- Aigis. If you bring Aigis, you'll have to defend her the same way you defend Yukari. If you have both of them in your party, you'll have to worry about half your party being knocked down each time the shadows attack.
- Akihiko Sanada. He's resistant to Electric, so he's a good choice for your party! He can also deal Strike damage, which is the only type of Physical damage that isn't reflected.
Having a party member with Amrita Shower will help dispel Fear, which is incredibly important!
How To Beat Hedonistic Sinner
This fight will have you playing multiple roles, and each turn must be handled carefully. Focus on taking out one shadow at a time, as it will greatly reduce the stress of being attacked.
When inflicted with Fear, cure it immediately. Do not wait, or you may find that Hedonistic Sinner wipes you out in one go. Any allies weak to Electric attacks are in for a rough ride, so keep a close eye on your health and buff your defense. Guard when necessary to prevent being knocked down.
Without any weaknesses, your best bet is to land critical hits and utilize your Theurgy skills to deplete the Hedonistic Sinners' HP. Using skills like Concentrate or Charge can help boost the damage you deal.
This fight will challenge you, but stay focused and keep your wits about you. Keep your HP up, and you'll defeat the Hedonistic Sinner duo in no time. Collect your rewards and move on to the next boss.
