Golden Arena Overview
JRPG Mode. Advance through dungeons and level up.
Choose your Navigator and spelunk the 3 main dungeons, the endless dungeon, or the event dungeon.
Tips:
- Shadow characters are considered separate characters.
- Meaning you will have to start from level 1 if you decide to switch it up later on.
- I recommend maining a shadow character as getting to awakening during late-game proves too risky.
- Recommended characters for this mode: Naoto, Teddie, Adachi, Margaret, Elizabeth, Labrys, Mitsuru
- The bots are easily susceptible to Naoto Fate Kills, Teddie Circus, Adachi Ziodyne, Labrys unblockable axe swing, etc.
- The fastest way to get the Golden Arena Master achievement is to complete Normal, Hard, and an Event dungeon.
- If the opponents are getting too difficult, start the next dungeon's difficulty.
- The start of the "HARD" dungeon is easier than the second half of the "NORMAL" dungeon (and rewards more XP.)
- Level Luck ASAP. Luck level 100 will speed things up.
- Strength is second best skill to level. Simply reduce the opponent's HP before they can reduce yours.
- Agility works differently between Shadow / Normal type characters.
- Normal gets "Increased Burst Recovery"
- Shadow gets "Increased Frenzy Duration"
- Levels stop counting up visually at 99, but leveling does continue.
- The max level for every stat is 500 with heavy diminishing returns around the 300 point mark.
- With the aid of Turbo Controllers (or equivalent), you can skip past the level up screens during auto battles. All bonus points will be stored.
- Floors are not randomized. From the opponent's character, to their equipped skills, down to their color palettes.
- Late game Golden Arena (Risky ~100) has opponents bursting way too often and getting burst back after only a few hits.
- Skills that improve combo game become way less useful by that point.
- Skill types stack. For Example, Equipping the (H) and (EX) versions of the same boosted attribute will result in both skills activating additively.
- Skill: Dekaja "Opponent will not Awaken" disables Boss Elizabeth/Margaret Heal supers.
- Skill: Treasure Radar "Rare skills will be easier to obtain" will make obtaining less "rare" skills harder.
- Skill: Full Analyze effectively disables every skill an enemy has. If both players equip the skill, all skills are disabled.
- Skill does not affect 'Fury of Yasogami'
- Skill: Mind Charge "SP Skills / SP Skill Boosts cost 1/2 SP" makes performing supers really cheap. (great for extending Shadow Frenzy)
- This gives shadow characters access to 150SP double-super combos outside of Frenzy.
- Skill: Arrow Rain is a very good early skill to make up for the initial low strength stat. It will slowly deplete the opponent's HP by a set percentage during the entire match.
Golden Arena Glossary
Term | Definition |
---|---|
(L) (M) (H) (EX) (EX+) | Ranking of effectiveness from weakest (L) to highest (EX+). Self-explanatory "(Half) / (Full)" are used for Burst recovery skills. |
Attack | When a skill says it boosts attack, it is most likely referring to your normals and does NOT apply to supers. |
Furious Action | Commonly refered to as "DP." Input is B+D. |
SP Gauge | The SP Gauge starts each round at 0 and has a max of 100. SP grows over the course of the match through attacking, defending, and other actions. If a character enters Awakening, then the max becomes 150, and the character automatically gains 50 SP. |
First Attack | Getting the first hit in a round gives a bonus 10 SP to the attacker in addition to the normal SP gain of the attack. |
Skills | Commonly called special moves. Usually the result of one quarter-circle motion plus an attack button. Also applies to charge input specials. |
Skill Boosts | Spend 25 SP to boost a special move. When performing a Skill Boost, the character will briefly flash blue and a blue silhouette will trail him/her until the move ends. |
SP Skills | Commonly known as Super Attacks. cost 50 SP and are giant, flashy attacks. They usually do lots of damage or have other interesting properties such as invincibility. |
SP Skill Boosts | Powered up versions of supers that cost 75 SP by default. |
Guard Cancel Attack | Applies to both 6+A+B and 6+A+C while blocking to perform an attack or Evasive Action with guard point against all attacks and throws. Guard Cancel Attacks cost 50 SP by default. |
Instant Blocks | Blocking right as an attack lands will make a loud shine sound and your character will flash white. Allows you to act out of block faster. Increased SP gain compared to a standard block. |
Counter Hit | If a character is hit while attempting an attack, the character will flash red and the word COUNTER will appear on the side of the screen. Counter Hits usually cause increased hitstun. |
Fatal Counter | On Fatal Counter, all subsequent hits in a combo will have increased hitstun (speculated to be a 5 frame increase). This allows for completely new combos since the increased hitstun will counteract some of the hitstun decay. Some attacks have "Fatal Recovery" and some attacks force Fatal Counter on Counter hit. |
Awaken | When a Normal Type character's health reduced to approximately 35% or lower and the character is not in hitstun, they will enter Awakening. Awakening has a visual effect when it occurs: the character will flash orange, his/her portrait will appear briefly in the background. Some supers are locked behind Awakening. |
Burst | Invincible attack performed by pressing A+C+D while the Burst Gauge is full. When Bursts are unavailable, a black "B" will be shown instead. This "B" will slowly fill up over time and as you get hit. Once it's full, you can Burst again. |
Shadow Frenzy | Exclusive to Shadow characters. "Burst" behaves differently outside of using it defensively. Bursting in neutral or to cancel an attack causes the background to darken and your SP gauge to turn purple. The more SP you have when you start Shadow Frenzy, the longer Shadow Frenzy lasts. SP options are cheaper during this time. |
Persona Gauge | The card shaped symbols below each character's life gauge represents each persona's life. A card is lost each time the character OR his persona is hit when the persona is visible. |
Chip Damage | When an attack is blocked, the blocker will take reduced damage in the form of temporary health. |
Null | When a status or element is "Null" or "Nullified" you are granted extra protection or straight up immune to the listed effects. |
"press PLAY" | "Play" is an assignable button in the options menu. It is usually paired with the "record" function for training mode. In Golden Arena, PLAY is used to activate certain skills. Assigned to Right Trigger/R2 by default. |
"Both players/Opponent starts with..." | Characters are affected immediately at round start. Just because someone "starts with" an ailment does not imply the status cannot be removed. |
"...upon victory" | Technically applies before a round starts. After a battle is won, you will receive the bonus at the start of your next match. |
"Chance of..." | The game runs a check for every unique attack that hits. Multi-hit Supers only get checked once, at the start of the move. |
Auto Recover / Depletes | Periodically receive the bonus throughout the match. |
"Combos connect more easily" | Adds at least 2 but less than 5 frames of grounded hitstun on attacks. Example: Akihiko can now link 5B into B kill rush off standing normal hit. |
"Powers up hops" | Enables the ability to block, jump, jump cancel, and airdash (forward/back) while shorthopping (2A+C). Improved recovery and landing lag for shorthop normals. While blocking is possible, you can still be hit out of jump start-up like a normal jump. |
Increases Burst recovery time | Act out of bursts faster. |
Boss Mode | Enhances the characters to their special Score Attack versions. This universally comes with boosted damage and health. |
Status Ailments
Ailment | Description |
---|---|
Poison | A poisoned character loses a set portion of his/her health over time. (0.8% of the character's max health) |
Panic | Reverses a character's inputs: left becomes right and right becomes left! Movement and quarter-circles are mirrored! |
Fear | Hits automatically become a counter hit, causes fatal counter on counter hit, and they will be unable to break throws. Adachi and Elizabeth's Ghostly Wail supers do more damage to Fear inflicted opponents. |
Rage | Disables blocking for the enraged character but increases their attack power by 20% |
Mute | Disables persona related abilities for the afflicted character. This includes things like C and D attacks, Bursts, and some specials and supers. |
Shock | Disables movement (walking, jumping, airdashing, etc) for the afflicted character. Evasive Action, Hop, Air Turn, Ukemi, and attacks that automatically move the character are still usable while paralyzed. |
Charm | A charmed character's SP is constantly drained in 4 SP increments and given to the opponent! Even if the charmed character's SP is reduced to zero, the opponent will still gain SP. |
Freeze | Frozen characters are encased in ice where they can be comboed by the opponent. Freeze lasts for 3 seconds, but can be shortened by holding a button, though there is a minimal amount of time you will be frozen which is specific to each attack. |
Negative Penalty | The afflicted character takes 50% more damage, meaning a 1000 damage attack will now do 1500 damage. Unlike most other status effects, Negative Penalty does not disappear after hitting the opponent |
Level UP Skills
Skills are naturally earned through leveling up. Each character has their own level up reward path.
Newly learned Skills may be disregarded once you have four equipped.
