Discover the strategies to defeat the formidable Champion Knight shadow in Persona 3 Reload.
Persona 3 Reload introduces challenging Formidable Shadows scattered throughout Tartarus, providing players with a significant increase in difficulty. Among these formidable foes is the Champion Knight, encountered on the upper floors of Yabbashah. While formidable, the Champion Knight has a exploitable weakness that, when targeted correctly, can turn the tide of battle. This guide will unveil the weakness and offer key strategies for success.

Resistances:

Champion Knight is weak to Dark-based attacks. Persona under the Death Arcana, such as Pale Rider, Loa, and Samael, possess Dark spells and can be fused to exploit this weakness. Additionally, keeping Koromaru in the party is beneficial, as Cerebus (Koromaru’s Persona) specializes in Dark attacks.
Strategies to Beat the Champion Knight in Persona 3 Reload:
- Fuse High-Level Persona from Death Arcana: Create Persona with Dark-based spells like Eiga. Pale Rider, Loa, and Samael are excellent choices.
- Include Koromaru in the Party: Koromaru’s Cerebus Persona has an affinity for Dark attacks, making him a valuable party member when facing enemies weak to Dark, including the Champion Knight.
- Focus on Dark Damage, Not Instakill: Prioritize Dark spells that deal damage rather than those with a chance for instakill. The chances of success are better when aiming for damage.
- Avoid Persona Weak to Electricity and Pierce: Champion Knight employs Electricity-based spells and powerful Pierce and Strike attacks. Check party member affinities and switch if weaknesses are targeted.
