Being a Boss in this guide we are going to see which party is best to use in order to beat it without particular problems.

Kuon Ichinose

Name: Kuon Ichinose

Prison : Sendai

Profession: AI researcher

Kuon is a long brown haired woman, she wears a chain-like hair accessory, her eyes are light olive green. She wears a white trench coat with a light blue shirt with white stripes and black jeans.

In the Metaverse it does not change its dress and appearance, remaining identical to its real form even during its fight.

Personality

Ichinose is a woman who uses a very archaic intrinsic language of words no longer in common use, she knows a lot about EMMA, since it is her creation.

With a stoic and cold character, this makes her believe that she no longer has a heart. Even before the creation of the application, all the people met believed that it was not human, as it did not show any emotion.

Kuon is also eccentric and misanthropic. As proof of this, as soon as he notices that his creation EMMA is threatened by the Phantom Thieves, he will immediately try to stop them even trying to kill them.

He created Sophia precisely because of her empathy and lack of emotion, she wanted to use her creation to understand more of the human heart, ordering Sophia to " become humanity's best friend ".

In the game you will not face Kuon directly, but you will see it against the Personae Hecatoncheir , let's see his statistics and abilities:

Recommended party

First name	Note
Joker	Being able to equip all Personae is useful for taking advantage of healing or sacred-type abilities.
Sophia	Useful thanks to his sacred-type abilities which are effective against Hecatoncheir
Wolf	While her firearm skills aren't effective, she's very useful for support ones who are going to power up the party.
Noir	The enemy has no resistance against Psy-type attacks, so it is very strong.

Strategy to beat him

The fight against Kuon Ichinose is divided into two phases, during the first you simply have to defeat the numerous Shadows that he will send against you. In the second phase instead, you will be face to face against Hecatoncheir.

This Persona is very powerful and will give you a lot of trouble, so we advise you to make the most of Sophia so that her sacred-type abilities can inflict the most damage on the enemy.

After halving the enemy's HP, use an Assault attack to reduce it to 1/4, so you can end the fight without further problems.

Remember to bring a lot of healing items with you, and to take advantage of the moments when Hecatoncheir targets Sophia to be able to hit him from the side.
