As you climb the stairs to different levels of Persona 3 Reload's Tartarus, you'll run into stronger Shadows and challenging Gatekeepers. In Block 2, Arqa, you'll run into a Soul Dancer Shadow. It's best to avoid attacking with Skills that the Soul Dancer resists in Persona 3 Reload. Instead, exploit their Affinity weakness to trigger an All-Out Attack and wrap up the battle. Fortunately, you have someone in SEES with Skills that can sweep it off its feet.

Soul Dancer Weaknesses & Resistances

persona 3 reload soul dancer shadow stats and weaknesses

You can find Soul Dancers on the floors of Arqa (23-43). They're level 14 and usually spawn in groups of 2-3. Soul Dancers are far from the most-threatening Shadows in Tartarus, but they can catch you off guard if you're not careful. Soul Dancers are weak to Wind, meaning Skills like Garu and Magaru are recommended for fighting it. Soul Dances will resist Ice, so don't attack it with Bufu or Mabufu Skills/items.

  • Soul Dancers' attacks deal Pierce damage. Thus, if you're battling them, you'll want to avoid equipping a Persona that's weak to Pierce attacks.
  • They can use Dia to heal themselves and their allies.
  • While Soul Dancers aren't incredibly speedy, they have enough Agility to outspeed some of your slower Personas. Your best strategy when battling Soul Dancers is to make sure the Personas that has a Wind Skill has higher Agility. This will make it easier for you to Down them and follow up with an All-Out Attack.

How to Get Wind Skills

Garu, Magaru

You may have picked up the Angel Persona from the previous block (Thebel). This Persona has Garu but if you don't have Angel or you fused it into a stronger Persona, you'll need to rely on Yukari and Io. Yukari has access to the Garu-tier Skills, and if she has Magaru (learned at level 14), she'll target all enemies at once.

Some Personas with the Garu skill are:

  • * Angel (Justice)
  • * Nigi Mitama (Temperance)

* Both of these Personas can be obtained fairly early in your playthrough.

If you're fusing a Persona with Garu, you'll sometimes be able to "pass down" the Skill to the newly-fused Persona. You can also teach Garu to any Persona if you have a Garu Skill Card. During Shuffle Time, you may get a Swords Tarot Card in your deck. This represents a Skill Card, but the Skill is randomized, so it's a less reliable way of obtaining Garu for the protagonist. Therefore, the easiest way to take down Soul Dancers is to use Yukari's Garu/Magaru Skill.
