So, playing Persona 4... (SPOILERS)

WARNING: THIS BLOG POST HAS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 4. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED, DO NOT HOVER OVER THE BLACK BARS!!!

This is such an awesome moment I had to share this with anyone who has played Persona 4. I'm about to go into the battle with Adachi, and I reached Level 79. Seeing as how Yukiko, the Priestess link, is my girlfriend, I can fuse Scathach since her Link is maxed out. Let me tell you, I've been looking forward to this for weeks, and I honestly didn't think I'd be able to do this on my very first playthrough. And this is before the New Game+.

I fused Scathach.

She is now at Level 86.

I got Absorb Fire on her!

Here is how I did it. I level grinded in Magatsu Inaba/Magatsu Mandala on Dec. 10 until I was at Level 79. At the same time, I was grinding Hell Biker. Hell Biker learns Absorb Fire at level 71. I also had earlier fused Trumpeter, since that is also essential to this Scathach. Finally, I used a high-level Hachiman fused from Hariti and Thor, and I had Max Rank Hierophant.

On Dec. 11, I went into the Velvet room to fuse Scathach. It needs to be December 11, since that can give Scathach Maragidyne and Maziodyne if a Judgement Persona is used. Guess what? Trumpeter is a Judgement! My Hell Biker and Trumpeter were at Level 71, and my Hachiman a few levels higher, about 76. It's important that Hachiman be at the highest level of the three, otherwise it will fuse something else and not Scathach.

Perform a Triangle Fusion with those three, but wait to make sure Scathach learns Absorb Fire. If you have to, back up to the main Velvet Room menu (Fuse Personas, Check Compendium, and Leave), and go back to Triangle Fusion to preview Scathach again. Do this until Absorb Fire appears in red. I was also lucky enough to get Elec Amp on her.

My Final Scathach build

Scathach (Priestess)
Lv:86
Null: Wind Drain: Ice Weak: Fire*
Skills:
Maragidyne Mind Charge
Mabufudyne Elec Amp
Maziodyne Wind Amp
Magarudyne Absorb Fire

*With Absorb Fire, Scathach now drains Fire.

I think the only way this Scathach could be better is if it had Megidolaon. But, I'm fine with all four Ma-dynes and Absorb Fire.
