Oh weird. Yeah I did that totally by accident. I don't think I would have had enough MP to break both arms first if I wanted to, much less finish him off after. Especially if his weakness goes away immediately. Maybe if I had more Revival Beads, is there a reliable way to get more of those before the fight?
Also, compared to the first game a couple of things feel nerfed. Lucky Punch feels much weaker, I don't know how it works exactly but it feels like the hit chance drastically drops against stronger enemies. And support actions feel like they charge much much slower.
I'm assuming this is one of those RPGs where the first stretch is the hardest because you have no items and no options, but it gets easier the more stuff you have access to. Not really an ideal difficulty curve, but not uncommon in Japanese games.

Theo sells Gutsy Fries from the beginning. It's only 10% revive, but they are unlimited and rather cheap. IIRC you get Immortal Chicken - 30% revive in 2nd movie and finaly get access to Revival Bead 50% in the 3rd.
Lucky Punch is pretty inaccurate, so i didn't really bother with it.
The first movie is pretty much the hardest part of the game. Your choices of party members are very limited, you can't fuse anything strong yet. Blank Cards are not accessible yet, etc.

The fries seemed like a losing strategy, at least if someone on the front row went down. That carrot gun attack kept immediately re-killing them. I guess I should have brought two Line Guard users.
I found Lucky Punch to be super valuable throughout all of the original Persona Q but it definitely feels very niche now.

I sorta had that same problem with the first movie boss although I did get lucky that he aimed at Ryuji who had enough hp to grant me time to get Hamuko, Morgana, and Ann up.... it was annoying, but once I had enough time to boost my defenses and have Morgana to heal, he went down easily. My party was relatively close to level 20 too which made things bonkers.

Wuuuut how did you get them that high level? It seemed like an impossible slog to get them from 12 to 13. Am I overlooking a mechanic for leveling characters aside from grinding?
