Mariko is a brown-haired woman, wearing a rosé lipstick, eyeliner, blue / pink eyeshadow and a pair of earrings. She usually wears a light colored scarf tied around her neck and a black work dress with dark pink patterns around the shoulders and left side of the skirt.

Its shape in the Metaverse instead totally changes it, even modifying the size of its body.

Strategy to beat him

Mariko Snow Empress is weak to psy-type and cursed, resists electro and nuclear-type abilities, and completely negates any ice-type abilities.

We advise you to bring Haru as she has psy-type abilities available, you can also bring Ann , Morgana and Sophia as Mariko has no resistance for the fire, wind and sacred type. Absolutely do not bring Yusuke as his abilities are of the ice type and therefore would be canceled.

Bring with you many healing items and Personae with healing abilities as through its special attack it could soon show you the game over or through the snowstorm it will create it will take away the priority of the attacks by slowing your movements.

Don't be fooled by the huge appearance of Mariko Snow Empress, she is a very fast foe who can take out the entire party with a few attacks.

Once you lower its HP below 50% it will become perpetually red and will swallow a member of your party every turn. So immediately try to lure her under one of the 4 chandeliers, and then make her fall on top of her, thus freeing the eaten member.

If you run out of chandeliers, use a Showtime to get the same effect. Furthermore, by always staying below 50% of HP, Mariko will start generating snowstorms, which will slow down the movement of the entire party.

Should this happen, immediately run to the point marked with an exclamation point and turn on the stove to stop the storm, thus restoring the speed of movement.
