In Persona: Phantom Night, Akihiko Sanada, one of the popular characters from P3, returns as a new five-star electric attribute character, combining the powerful single-target strikes and crowd control abilities of a boxer. Today, I will introduce Akihiko Sanada in Persona: Phantom Night. With solid skill mechanics and combat rhythm, he has become one of the focal characters in this version. Let's take a closer look.

Akihiko Sanada's overall design revolves around two key mechanics: "Obsession" and "Fighting Spirit." Upon entering battle, he gains initial layers of Obsession, which can be continuously stacked by using Persona skills or Divine Arts skills. When the number of Obsession layers reaches 6, at the start of his turn, he automatically releases a "Invincible Steel Fist," dealing physical damage to all enemies and gaining an additional layer of Fighting Spirit. The Fighting Spirit state further enhances the character's penetration attributes, effectively increasing the damage output against high-defense enemy units.

In terms of skills, Akihiko has multiple active skills that help maintain his combat rhythm. "Electric Light Formation" serves as the main opening skill, not only dealing electric attribute damage to all enemies but also increasing his critical hit rate and obtaining the Fighting Spirit effect. "Electric Shock" deals area-of-effect electric damage while stacking Obsession layers, making it a crucial part of maintaining the overall combat cycle.

His Divine Arts skill requires 140 energy to use, and upon release, it deals a guaranteed critical electric attack to all enemies. This skill's burst potential cannot be ignored. Combined with his own critical hit system and Obsession mechanics, he can deal significant group damage in a short time, making him particularly suitable for fighting multiple high-health enemies or serving as the main damage dealer in dungeons.

In terms of team support, his assistance skill can significantly increase the critical hit effect of allied units for one turn, providing excellent team buff capabilities. His exclusive weapon further enhances the synergy with the "Obsession" mechanic, increasing the critical hit rate whenever Obsession layers are accumulated and boosting damage when a critical hit is dealt, forming a positive feedback loop of high-frequency critical hits and high-damage output.

In terms of role, Akihiko Sanada excels in both area-of-effect electric attacks and single-target physical damage, performing stably in both crowd-clearing and sustained combat. Whether in regular battles, resource challenges, or high-difficulty boss fights, he demonstrates excellent versatility. His complete skill cycle and tight output rhythm allow him to quickly build up his enhanced state and deal high burst damage in a short time.
The above is the introduction to Akihiko Sanada in Persona: Phantom Night. As a newly implemented five-star character in the current version, Akihiko Sanada stands out in both mechanism design and damage output. In battle, he not only consistently poses a threat but also enhances the overall rhythm and critical hit capability of the team, making him a high-intensity character worth focusing on. If players are in need of an electric attribute character or prefer a critical hit cycle and fast-paced combat style, Akihiko Sanada would be a particularly worthwhile choice to invest in.
