Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Xbox360 Cheats

General Tips





1) Use Mitsuru, Chie, and Sho if you're starting out. They all have large hitboxes, have generous range, and are quick enough that you'll hit fast and often.





2) Get your statuses down:





- Being Shocked (electric bolt) means you can't move but you can still use dashes and special moves that move your character around to move around the stage.


- Poison (purple bubbles) hurts your HP and so can't really do much about it.


- Being Charmed (pink hearts) will drain your SP and give it to the opponent.


- Having fear (skulls) will make any hit your opponent makes a Fatal Counter which stuns your character more than normal.


- Rage (red steam) will increase your attack but make you unable to block.


- Being Muted (speech bubble with "...") disables your Persona attacks.


- Being Frozen (ice) disables you entirely, but you can shake out of it by moving back and forth quickly.


- Panic (star) is the worst in my opinion since it inverts all of your left and right commands. It's a pain.





3) Dash appropriately. Evading moves and getting out of corners is important to your defense and for setting up combos. Air dashing, in particular, can help you create space or rush in for an air-based combo.





4) Remember that Burst interrupts an enemy's combo, so keep it in mind if you think that your enemy is starting a sequence of attacks that might dish out a huge amount of damage. It may be time to unleash a burst and stop the assault, or perhaps you have enough life to save it for a more desperate time.





5) Don't rely on the S Hold system. The amount of time it takes to charge any of the moves leaves you far too wide open. The only time to use it would be to frighten your opponent a little, but most human opponents won't be fooled by this too often so use it sparingly.





General Tips - Golden Arena Mode





1) Have at least one healing ability equipped. Endure and Enduring Soul will increase your character's survivability by automatically giving your character a health boost when it reaches yellow territory. But the Dia-based abilities are much better since you can trigger them any time you want. Better yet, you can heal yourself right before you score the knockout so as not to waste the ability and gain some healing before the next match.





2) Use Auto Mode for grinding purposes. Once your character is a high enough level, he or she can grind through the lower-level courses with relative ease. At that point, you can set it and forget it while you do other things. The only thing you'll need to do is select skills when you earn new ones. In this way, you won't need to put any stats into luck unless you absolutely want to earn experience points faster.





3) The max value for each stat is 200 so keep that mind when you allocate the three bonus stats at every level up. Also be aware that even when you reach Level 99, you can continue earning experience and extra stats.





4) For a breakdown of stats, Strength increases your attack value damage while Magic increases your SP accumulation when you're damaged or hit with attacks. Endurance increases your life bar, while Agility improves the rate at which your accumulates Burst meter. Luck boosts your experience gains, which is largely unnecessary if you set Auto Mode to grind in the background.





5) Your character can only equip four skills, earned from boss battles every five levels or by leveling up. So pick the ones you want carefully. Take a look at the Skill Guide for advice and a list of all the available skills (and where you can find them).





6) Always be on the lookout for enemy abilities that can change the battle entirely around. Skills like Absorb Ice and Absorb Elec will heal the opponent if you use those elemental types against them. Tetrakarn and Makarakarn will bounce Skill and SP Skill damage back at you. Skills like God's Judgment will knock your health by half right from the get-go, so be careful!
