Persona 5 anti reaper Strategies

Rush mode + safe difficulty: keep revivin' until the reaper is officially kept dyin', having Baphomet *Unholy persona* or a angelic persona will negate the instant death moves based on that persona, in safe difficulty you will be revived, and then can continue to wail on the reaper via pressing START to launch a melee offensive, this process will take at most 10 IRL minutes.

Despair mode: Wait until november or december, in 3 turns the reaper will shoot himself, keep in mind that you are still open to attack, and despair on the reaper is NOT guaranteed, I would highly recommend savescumming one floor before facing off against the reaper, going back up, saving, then going back down.

Goro Akechi mode: The Reaper is more susceptable to attacks by Goro Akechi's "Holy Element" Persona, though the damage is still nerfed by the reapers high defense, the damage is double that of any other element, if he dies to Mudoon, or Mamudoon, revive him immediately. Goro Akechi's justice persona is naturally resistant to Hamaon (Holy 1 shot on 1 foe) and Mahamaon (Holy 1 shot on all foes), his revolver ammo, if it is the golden revolver awarded at the end of the casino palace, also has a extremely low chance of causing despair
to the reaper, note that instant kill attacks and ailment spells will not make contact with the reaper, and Goro Akechi is a temporary party member.
