Struggling with Quest 3 'Decompressing' in Persona 5 Tactica? This guide breaks down the 3-turn objective, enemy spawns, and best skills to use for a quick victory.

Alright, let's tackle Quest 3, 'Decompressing'! This one pops up after Mission 13 and throws a curveball: you've only got three turns to clear out a ton of enemies. It sounds tough, but with the right setup, it's totally doable. Both Ryuji and Haru are great here since their guns hit multiple targets, and your Persona spells can really help clear the field.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Step 1: The First Wave
    You'll start with Joker in the center. Your goal here is to hit all nine enemies in the middle area with a Persona spell. The source text specifically mentions using Maehia. If you have it, cast it now – it should wipe them all out in one go.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Second Wave - Top Box
    A new group of nine enemies will appear, this time bunched up in the top box. Switch to Ryuji and use his Mazio ability. Again, this should take out the whole group.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Third Wave - Bottom Box
    Another group spawns, this time outside the bottom box where Joker is. There are three enemies on each side, with one isolated on each side. Select Haru. Position her so her gun attack can hit at least two enemies, making sure one of them is the isolated one. This should trigger a One-More, letting you take out more enemies. If you don't get a One-More or can't finish them all, don't sweat it; you still have turns left.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Cleaning Up & Ryuji's Chance
    By now, you might have some characters with a One-More, like Ryuji did for us. Use any remaining turns to finish off any stragglers. If Ryuji got a One-More, you can position him near the crate on his side to hit multiple enemies with his gun again. Chip away at their health.
  5. 5
    Step 5: Final Push
    You'll be in Turn 2 or 3 by now, with only a few enemies left. Use all your characters to finish them off. Don't hold back on using SP for spells if it guarantees the win – you won't need it after this quest.
Tips
  • Bring a party member with a strong area-of-effect spell, like Joker with Eiga, to maximize damage.
  • Don't be afraid to use your best skills and SP to ensure you meet the 3-turn limit.
  • Pay attention to enemy positioning to maximize the effectiveness of multi-target attacks and skills.
