Persona 3 Reload: Supreme Hand weakness

The higher you climb in Persona 3 Reload’s Tartarus, the rarer the enemies you encounter. The Supreme Hand is one such enemy, and it appears in both the base game and Episode Aigis.

These Rare Shadows are different from the other creatures spawning around Tartarus. For starters, in the Tartarus overworld, they appear as gold hands and scuttle away from you if you get close to them. It would be best to chase them down and hit them to initiate a battle before they run.

Following the appearance of Wealth Hand, Treasure Hand, and Precious Hand, Supreme Hand is the next Rare Shadow to appear in Tartarus, but unlike the other three before it, its weakness is a little bit more unpleasant.

What is Supreme Hand’s weakness in Persona 3 Reload?

Supreme Hands in Persona 3 Reload have no weaknesses and are immune to every type of Elemental attack.

Supreme Hands are rare enemies that spawn in the Yabbashah Block, from the 77th floor (77F) all the way to the 117th floor (117F), and give a large amount of EXP and items that you can sell for a high price. Its dropped items are also required for certain Elizabeth requests missions later in the story. While the floors they spawn on are random, you’ll know you’re at the right place when Fuuka announces their presence and you spot a red dot with a gold lining on the map.

Due to Supreme Hand’s lack of weaknesses, the only way to take it down is to focus on dealing either Slash, Strike, or Pierce physical damage. The best team members to bring along are Junpei, Aigis, and Akihiko because their Persona’s Skills focus on these three types of physical damage. You might also want to use Personas such as Eligor, Neko Shogun, and Susano-o.

Keep in mind that just like with other Rare Shadows, Supreme Hand will run away if you don’t take it down quickly, so be sure to focus it above all else in case it appears alongside other enemy allies.

What is Supreme Hand’s weakness in Persona 3 Reload – Episode Aigis?

Supreme Hands have the same affinities as in the base game, meaning it nullifies all types of non-physical damage. Your best bet is punching it before it goes away, and the DLC gives you another brawler perfectly capable of doing so.

If you’re bringing Metis to this fight, the anti-Shadow weapon can use her prowess with physical damage to take down this enemy’s (thankfully flimsy) health pool. Focus this Shadow before it gets away, and it should be enough to get you a shot at an Odd Coin.

This item is required to complete Elizabeth’s Request No. 27 in the DLC, which tasks Aigis with bringing the spoils from this fight to her. Don’t sell the Odd Coin before speaking to her, since you may need a replacement to complete this request. She will ask you to do the same thing once you reach Antenora and can hunt down the Ethereal Hand. At least this one doesn’t nullify elemental damage.
