Persona 3 Reload – Crazy Twins weakness

Harabah feels like a flashbang to the mind.

You’re not seeing double. Persona 3 Reload‘s Crazy Twins come in twos, and you’ll also encounter them at least twice. And there’s a chance you’ll fight two sets of crazy twins in the kaleidoscopical Harabah, too, for a borderline lysergic experience.

There are two different types of Crazy Twins in Persona 3 Reload: a Monad boss in Tziah and a regular mob in the first half of Harabah. This is similar to the Death Castle, for instance, which returns in the sixth block of Tartarus after being a Monad Door boss. Additionally, Crazy Twins can also be on the other side of Monad Doors in Episode Aigis, in the Ptolomea section of the Desert of Doors.

Each version of this enemy has different weaknesses, affinities, and attacks in the base game, so make sure you know which one you’re dealing with. Here are all of Crazy Twins’ weaknesses in Persona 3 Reload and in Episode Aigis.

What is Crazy Twins weakness in Persona 3 Reload?

The Monad Door version of the Crazy Twins is weak to Slash, but it also bears a bunch of resistances. It nullifies Wind and Fire, plus resists Pierce and Light.

If you have Mitsuru, Junpei, or Koromaru in your party (preferably all of the above), this fight becomes much easier since you get four All-Out Attacks. If Yukari is with you, she’ll have little choice but to support teammates with regen and debuffs—though you’re likely throwing a bunch of physical abilities anyway, which should help her get her Theurgy back quickly.

Expect a different set of weaknesses if you encounter the Crazy Twins as a regular shadow in Harabah, however. This version of the Crazy Twins is weak to Dark, but nullifies Light and absorbs Shock. Slash is neutral.

Episode Aigis brings familiar Shadows in droves, and the Crazy Twins also reappear in the Abyss of Time. This Shadow can be on the other side of Monad Doors in Ptolomea, bearing the same affinities as its original version: it’s weak to Slash, resists Pierce and Light, and blocks Fire and Wind. Yukari and Ken can’t do that much damage here anyway, so they can flex into other functions.

Though the weaknesses are repeated, the Crazy Twins fight in Episode Aigis has a new addition: an Immoral Snake. The serpent will focus on applying Confuse and Charm through spells, with Stagnant Air to improve its odds and an Agidyne to deal damage outright.

More importantly, the Immoral Snake, like the Crazy Twins, is weak to Slash. If you have enough health, use multi-target attacks like Deathbound to improve your chances of getting a follow-up attack. If you miss one of the foes, the other one might still take the hit, setting you up for a Shift or another attack.
