For this fight, we suggest bringing Yukiko, Kanji, and Chie for this fight.

Back on offense, once Yukiko's got Amorous Snake down with her fire attacks, Kanji and Chie can use their quickly building physical attacks in kind to continue kicking it while it's down.
Recommended Level And Personas
With the Amorous Snake mini-boss at Lv. 33, you'll want to be roughly Lv. 30 before beginning the battle.
Lamia is a great Persona for the battle, as she innately knows Agilao, which allows you to also jump in on damaging Amorous Snake with fire magic.
It may also be a good idea to bring a healer Persona as well, since Yukiko will likely bus🍸y with fire magic and Amrita.

Amorous Snake Battle Strategy
The real headache in this fight begins right away when Amorous Snake uses the first turn to cast Stagnant Air. You'll spend a good amount of time in this battle keeping up with healing your team’s ailments from here.
Both of Amorous Snake’s damage-dealing attacks can also inflict ailments to follow up on this, neither of whic☂h you’ll want to deal with in this fight, as they may cost you your turn to attack.
Poison will slowly drain a bit of HP for each turn the character afflicted takes in battle.
Meanwhile, panic means your teammates may occasionally turn on the team by attacking team💜mates, throwing away yen, or opting to do nothing on their turn.
The best way to approach the battle is to have Yukiko use a fire attack on her first move. This should exploit Amorous Snake’s weakness to fire in P4G and knock it down.
You’ll have the option to, but don’t do an All-Out Attack once it’s down. If you let Amorous Snake stay downed and let Chie and Kanji use their physical attacks, have Yukiko use Agilao every turn when she doesn’t need to use Amrita.
However, if Amorous Snake gets up, it will cast Stagnant Air every third turn, then use the time between it to use Virus Wave or Mind Slice while your susceptibility is up.
While poison is definitely a nuisance, you can still safely attack while poisoned. If you think you can take the loss of HP, you can focus on healing panic first.
If Amorous Snake has already used Stagnant Air, it will definitely try inflicting an ailment on both of the coming two turns. You may be able to counter this by having the team guard for those two turns.
It will cast Stagnant Air again on the third turn, a cycle that repeats until the fight is over. When you’re able, get it down with Agilao again to disrupt the pattern.
Once you’ve gotten its HP low enough, Amorous Snake will switch to using primarily Mind Slice as its ailment-dealing physical attack instead, as it deals more damage.
Heal from the damage and ailments and keep th✤e hurt on Amorous Snake as a💯ll of this is happening, and the fight will be over before long!
