Correction, we can only attack Oni this turn,that doesn't mean that our attack cannot also hit someone else.
It's true! Group attacks bypass taunt!

Alright so just the Angel, Oni and Rider left. Any ideas on how to deal with the three?
Use rock and roll to kill them, have Belle and Clove look for stuff, and....

Hey @Kingster is Maria gonna use that gun we gave her? I didn't see anything that let us control her....
 
[] Plan: Get the red guy and maybe everyone else.
-[] Canaan: Cover Maria (2 AP)
-[] Clove and Belle: Help Belle check the Warehouse (2 AP)
-[] Metal: Blast that Red Fool!! (1 AP).
-[] Metal: Directive: Protect Belle (1AP)
-[] Metal: Death hog (0 AP)
--[] Incremus on himself.
-[] Piastol: Cast Eterni on Oni (1 AP) (Hama)
-[] Invoke Rakukaja (1 AP)
--[] Clove
-[] Death Hound: Sacremus.
--[] Clove.
-[] Vector: Time for some Noise! (1 AP)
-[] Vector: Release some burns on that fool! (1 Ap).
-[] Espio: Ninja Art: Shadow Clones (1AP)
-[] Espio:Tongue Impact (1AP)
--[] Oni

Ok this is my plan so far, if we pass all DC's we kill Oni with this.
 
Alright, my preliminary thoughts are along the lines of

Canaan- Cover Maria/Hide away with Maria.
Enemies focusing on them would be... bad. But Canaan's got pretty good trickery in contested rolls.

Clove and Belle- Check the warehouse

Metal- Speed Assault on Oni, protect Belle, heal Clove.

Piastol- Cyclone and Eterni on Oni, either debuff oni or heal Clove. Alternatively, drop an attack to invoke Rakukaja on Clove if we're worried.

Vector- Blew some Bubblegum! and Release some burns on that fool! to just damage and debuff Oni.
Vector's got less power than Oni, but has two traits that have helped him so far in the fight, so I think he's got a good chance of succeeding on both. I don't think we should expect to take Oni out this turn when he has 35 power, so immobilizing him is worthwhile and we can finish him off next turn.

Espio- Both ninja arts.

We know the Golden Rhinos will be here at some point, this saves the Chaotix Recital to blast them on arrival.
 
I have two ideas for this turn.

[] Plan: Musical nuke
-[]Canaan
--[] Cover Maria (2 AP- Only if Maria remains on the fight)
-[]Clove+Belle
--[] Help Belle check the Warehouse (2 AP)
-[]Metal+Chaptix
--[] Chaotix Recital (with special guest) (2AP)
--[] Sacrem: Metal rolls 1d100+5(Mystic).
---[] Clove
-[]Piastol
--[] Send out a serrated cyclone (1 AP)
---[] Oni
--[] Cast Eterni on Oni (1 AP)
--[]Sacremus (0 AP)
---[] Clove

if we want to use the team attack and heal Clove we don't have many options.

[] Plan: Just kill him
-[]Canaan
--[] Cover Maria (2 AP- Only if Maria remains on the fight)
-[]Clove+Belle
--[] Open an attack of opportunity against the Red monster and slice his head! (2 AP)
---[] Oni
-[]Metal
--[] Blast that Red Fool!! (1 AP)
---[] Oni
--[] Directive: Protect Belle (1AP)
--[] Sacrem: Metal rolls 1d100+5(Mystic).
---[] Clove
-[]Piastol
--[] Send out a serrated cyclone (1 AP)
---[] Oni
--[] Cast Eterni on Oni (1 AP)
-[]Vector
--[] Time for some Noise! (1 AP)
--[] Release some burns on that fool! (1 Ap)
---[] Oni
-[]Espio
--[] Ninja Art: Throwing Lots of Kunai! (1AP)
---[] Oni
--[]Tongue Impact (1AP)

I think this plan gives us the biggest chance to just kill oni this turn. Also if vector rolls well his (Time for some Noise) will do the same as the team attack.

Oh and Noise just booked it. Smart, if slightly disappointing.
they are still around, just hiddne

Is Jack dead or did he just retreat?
retreated
Does the Crit effect the chance of healing or no?

No

What counts as physical damage for our immidate purposes here?
aside from piastol spells, the guns and soem vectors attacks? rest are physical.
Well even if roll garbage they still would need to roll pretty high to pass.

Frankly this may even be for the best since we can only hurt the Oni this turn anyway.
aoe attacks can still hurt other demons
 
Pretty good first round, doubly so since one Enemy was beaten and another used up his Auto Crit.

Downside is, all of us are focused on one guy, now.

Upside is, all of us are focused on one guy, now. Unless he gets really lucky, he's gonna get creamed next turn.
 
Yup, also she si an NPC
I guess I just figured we could tell her to do stuff? Anyway, thanks for answering!

EDIT: Oh, and if anyone was wondering, Jack Frost probably won't be back anytime soon. Dude is a fairy, the idea of bailing the second he can because he fulfilled the letter of his agreement, but not the spirit for shits and giggles is hilarious to him.

Alright folks, before we dogpile Oni, there are a few things we must know.

For starters, what Oni are we dealing with exactly? If it's a Persona Oni, then it means he has no weaknesses and, by Persona 5, he would theoretically also have a resistance to Gun damage. Now, if it takes more of SMT Oni, then it means he's weak to Light and Electric damage - which means Piastol and Metal with Ring Spark.

Pale Rider is very strong, so we can't risk him getting Clove, so we give a full heal to her and let the others act in rebuffing or play defense.

[ ] Plan Virtue of Patience

My plan is to try to have Metal and Piastol hammer down on Oni while the others act in a support role, with Vector possibly also inflicting some damage with debuff. Reminder that all we really need is to stall for time until the ship is close, then we can figure out how to evacuate everyone.

He's got physical resistance, and I don't think the QM's would be so cruel as to make him resistant to gun damage on top of that.

It's just something we have to observe, while I pointed out it could be one version or the other, it could be a composite variation. And, again, it could be the Persona Oni, who has no weaknesses and is bulky on the physical side.

That looks like a very good plan, man focus on the debuff but can I persuade you to have canna hide with Maria she does have pretty good trickery

Hm...sure, why not.
 
Guys remeber that the demons are here to kill Marie and the Rudies, Canaan will need to rolla apss against all yhe three demons if she wants to hoder case contrary she takes damages or the Pale Rider can trow his AoE attack to that will target everybody.

Seems eay too risk better jist let Canaan keep protecting Maria.

I think this is the plan I like most so far. A couple points I want to make though.
With Metal protecting Belle, using Rakukaja on her is a waste of time. Metal takes those hits and she still has her bonus HP from the S.T.E.E.P.L.E. Piastol can either double up on offense or apply it to Canaan/Maria so that they're in better shape if the demons go for them. Or put it on Metal to help him protect Belle.
Vector's undamaged, I think we can probably afford to put him on offense?

Yeah, plus he's quite a beefy boy. He can take some damage.

Hm, so I'm gonna switch targets to buff Metal's defense.

Hm....will consider it.

No

Good to know. Thanks.

Mildly annoying we weren't able to put Jack down but he's no longer our problem so eh.


That said. Plan wise-

If Maria hides, then all enemies will focus on her, rendering our other defensive actions irrelevant. Though it should be noted that attacking Maria isn't a guarenteed thing. Still a near +90 to Maria's defense won't hurt.

If we dedicate Vector and Pistoal full actions plus Metal to attacking we might be able to put Oni down. All without phyiscal attacks to boot.

Therefore I suggest that we do this-

[ ] Plan: Protect and Destroy!
-[ ] Canaan - Hide away with Maria (2 AP)
-[ ] Clove - Help Belle check the Warehouse (2 AP)
-[ ] Belle -Help Belle check the Warehouse (2 AP)
-[ ] Metal:
--[ ] Directive: Protect Belle (1AP)
--[ ] Blast that Red Fool!! (1 AP)
--[ ] Death Hog - Sacrem (Clove) (0 AP)
-[ ] Piastol:
--[ ] Cast Eterni on Oni (1 AP)
--[ ] Send out a serrated cyclone (1 AP) (Oni)
--[ ] Death Hound - Sacremus (Clove) (0 AP)
-[ ] Vector
--[ ] Time for some Noise! (1 AP)
--[ ] Release some burns on that fool! (1 AP) (Oni)
-[ ] Espio
--[ ] Ninja Art: Throwing Lots of Kunai! (1AP)
--[ ] Tongue Impact (1AP) (Oni)


Baring terrible luck (Which is always a possiblity), Maria should be safe, Clove will be back to full, and Oni will be severely injured to out right dead.

Only point of contention is whether or not to cast Incremus on Espio to get rid of Phyiscal type.

No this mean Canaan must beat 3 Contest Trickery to hide Maria and on failure Canaan and Maria will suffer damage.

Like when we chose Starline to open a portal in the auction and cause everybody to target him this what will hapoen here.
 
--[ ] Invoke Rakukaja (1 AP) - Metal
Why?, Metal is full health (5 HP) he has no need for more defense, why not have Piastol attack twice?.
--[ ] Directive: Protect Belle (1AP)
Belle have a shield with 5 HP left, there is no point in having Metal protect her this turn. With both the shield and her own HP Belle is technically
doing better than Metal. (7 HP)
-[ ] Canaan - Hide away with Maria (2 AP)
This will cause all demons to focus in attacking Maria, making your actions to focus in defending Belle even weirder.

I find your plan mostly confusing

Hold it right there. I have some problems with that plan, mainly wit the Chaotix actions. Oni has the possibility of not taking damage from fire (he did not in Persona 4), so it's better to go for another debuffing action like the gumball. Also, I don't know if Espio's Martial is up to snuff. Better make him act on support on my opinion.

This are not Personas this are Demons from SMT setting. Totally different creatures and the Oni is resistant only to phsycal damage there.
 
In case some did not notice, half of the team got taunted for 2 turns, not only this one.
Canaan/Maria:
Result: 1d100 (33) + 2 (Canaan)+0(Maria)
Total: 35

Critical failure!

Taunt lasts for 2 turns for them!

Clove!
Result: 1d100 (10) + 5 (Clove)
Total: 15

Critical failure!

Taunt lasts for 2 turns for her!

Piastol:

Result: 1d100 (13) + 20 (Piastol)
Total: 33

Critical Failure!

Taunt lasts for 2 turns for her!
If Oni is not killed this turn, Piastol, Clove and Canaan will only be able to attack Oni next turn too.

Edit: And Maria too, i guess.
