Use Fire Attacks

King Frost is weak to Fire attacks which Panther and Joker can capitalize. Continue on using elemental attacks in order to break the shields and stagger the boss. Make use of narrow range elemental skills if you’re close and wide range elemental skills if you’re far from the boss.

Capitalize on Terrain Gimmicks

Persona 5 Strikers - Sapporo Jail Powerful Shadow Monarch of Snow King Frost Terrain Gimmick Ice Block

If King Frost is beside the movable ice block, you can use a Phantom Dash and shove it towards the boss in order to inflict a mental ailment.

Deal Technical Damage using Wind and Nuke Attacks

When the boss is inflicted with a status ailment such as Burn, deal technical damage by using Wind and Nuclear attacks. You can also inflict technical damage when the boss is afflicted with a mental ailment using Psychokinesis attacks. Switch between Joker, Mona, and Queen to avoid running out of SP.

Unleash Showtime Attacks
