Mad Rabbit Alice Boss Strategies

Here is a breakdown of the battle strategies against the boss:

Party Build

Here is our recommended party member setup against the boss. You can choose other party members except for Noir.

Member	Persona	Essential Skills	Notes
Joker	Arsene	Damage: Agi (Fire), Garu (Wind)	Has access to Wind and Fire skills from other personas obtained or fused. Can also play the role of healer and buff and debuff support caster.
		Recovery: Dia, Media
		Buff: Tarukaja, Rakukaja, Sukukaja
		Debuff: Tarunda, Rakunda, Sukunda
Mona	Zorro	Damage: Garu (Wind)	Has access to Wind skills that Alice is weak against. Has good synergy with Panther as Mona will deal increased damage using Wind attacks when Alice is afflicted with burn.
		Recovery: Dia, Media
Panther	Carmen	Damage: Agi (Fire)	Has access to Fire skills which Alice is weak against. Inflicts burn on Alice that causes her to take increased damage from Wind attacks.
		Recovery: Dia
		Debuff: Tarunda
Sophia	Pithos	Damage: Kouha (Bless)	Good overall damage and range using normal attacks. Can use healing and debuff support skills like Rakunda to reduce Alice’s defense in battle.
		Recovery: Dia
		Debuff: Rakunda

Carry SP Recovery Items

Before engaging the boss, make sure that you have a stock of SP recovery items. These items can be bought from accessible vending machines in Yongen-jaya and Shibuya Central Street.

Land Debuffs

Start the battle by landing multiple debuffs on Mad Rabbit Alice. Debuffs can be in the form of attack decrease (Tarunda), defense decrease (Rakunda), and evasion/critical evasion decrease (Sukunda). These debuffs can be accessed by Joker (from Arsene and other personas), Panther, and Sophia.

Cast Buffs

Follow-up the debuffs with party members buffs. Buffs can be in the form of attack increase (Tarukaja), defense decrease (Rakukaja), and evasion/critical evasion increase (Sukukaja). These buffs can only be accessed by Joker (from other personas).

Use Fire and Wind Attacks

Mad Rabbit Alice struggles handling Fire and Wind attacks which are Panther, Mona, and to some extent, Joker’s specialty. Joker can opt to either stick to healing support with Pixie, or go offensive with persona like Jack-o’-Lantern. Continue on breaking the shields until you stagger the boss. Also, make sure to use narrow range tier 1 elemental skills since they consume less SP.

Capitalize on Area Gimmicks

When Mad Rabbit Alice and your party stands near the center close to the dancing pole, make use of the pole to deal additional damage.

If your character is away from the center, use the Wind Crackers placed within the battlefield to hit the boss from a distance.  It will also break boss’ stagger gauge shield

Keep your distance

When Mad Rabbit Alice’s health is down to around 50% or less, it will become aggressive and quickly move around the arena. In addition, avoid sticking close to her since she can inflict status ailments Brainwash with Brain Jack. If some party members got inflicted, the boss will use Mapsi and deal technical damage.
