Defeat Margaret, the Ultimate Boss, in Persona 3 Portable Maniac Mode. Learn her HP (30,000) and recommended party.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The battle against Margaret is divided into 4 phases, with Phase 1 being the most challenging.
  2. 2
    In Phase 1, Margaret uses physical attacks that target single characters or the entire party. Pay close attention to her second attack each turn; avoid using the same attack type (Pierce, Strike, Slash) that she absorbs.
  3. 3
    For teammates not actively healing or buffing, have them defend to minimize the risk of critical hits. This applies to Yukari in the recommended party setup.
