Persona 3 Reload: Every Boss Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Justice And Chariot

One of the biggest tests of the player's ability to multitask is the fight against the Justice and Chariot shadows. The villainous emo posse known as Strega has locked you and your pals in a series of tunnels, trapped with these two shadows, expecting you to die. And they are not wrong to make such an assumption, as this is one of the toughest bosses in the game.

The two shadows begin the fight as one being. Because one is resistant to all physical attacks, and the other is resistant to all magic, their combined self is strong against everything. The strategy is simple: separate the two, and deal the brunt of your damage to them while they're vulnerable.

However, the bosses then pull out their next twist: if you take out one, the other will revive it. Granted, at a third of its original health, but it shows that you have to think carefully about which one you're hitting, when, and how hard. And then you also have to worry about the two bosses reforming, beginning the whole process all over again.

This is a tough boss fight, but once you get the pattern down, it's a fair, balanced encounter.
