World Balance is a Shadow in the Persona series.

Appearances[]

Profile[]

Persona 3[]

World Balance is found in the Adamah Block of Tartarus guarding the 236th floor. It blocks all ailments. In battle, it will actively attempt to target the weaknesses of party members.

The fight proceeds in three "stages." For the first half of its HP, it will stick to elemental Ma-dyne spells. For the following third, it starts to switch to Light/Dark skills, and when low on health it will try to hit a weakness before following up with any offensive magic spell including Megidolaon. If Magic Mirror or Makarakarn is used, the World Balance simply switches to casting Megidolaon every single turn as this would otherwise completely incapitpate the boss. Some find that if they are able to heal enough to keep up with the damage from Megidolaon, its response to a Magic Mirror/Makarakarn would make the fight easier since the player would not need to face the Light/Dark skills.

Another viable strategy against the World Balance is to cast the spell Thunder Reign. This will Shock the boss and leave it open to critical hits from physical attacks and then follow up with an All-Out Attack. This is might bring the World Balance into its Final Phase very quickly, however if the party has no elemental weaknesses that can be exploited then it will switch to using Megidolaon every turn it gets. It is recommended to have a Persona with either Mediarahan or Mediarama combined with Divine Grace to offset the damage from Megidolaon.

After defeating this boss, the Judgment Social Link will reach Rank 6.

Persona 4 / Golden[]

World Balance is first encountered as a normal enemy on B5F and B6F of the Secret Laboratory within the Midnight Channel. This variant will constantly attempt to target the protagonist with Ziodyne spells. This will happen even if the protagonist nullifies or reflects Electric attacks. If Yosuke Hanamura is in the party, he may occasionally be targeted. When defeated, World Balance may drop Shining Dish. Selling six Shining Dishes at Daidara Metalworks unlocks the Fearful Kunai for Yosuke in the shop.

World Balance is faced against as a boss on Heaven's 7th floor. It has a far smaller skill set than its Persona 3 counterpart, having lost its Light, Dark, and Almighty spells. As a result, its tactics are far simpler; it tries to target the party's weaknesses to get extra turns, which it will use to either Dizzy a Downed party member, target another weakness, or cast Mind Charge to boost the power of its next attack. In addition, the boss variant follows a pattern of attacks, alternating Mind Charges with Agidyne, Bufudyne, Ziodyne, then Garudyne in that order.

In Golden, the normal enemy will use Hamaon and Mudoon instead of Ziodyne. It may also drop Buffalo Stone for trade at Shiroku Pub.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth[]

World Balance appears in the 2nd Block of the Theater District. It attacks with heavy, single-target magic skills, knows Megido, and can use Mind Charge. When defeated, it may drop Balance Cache and Balance Halo. Balance Cache is used to create the Nihil for the P5 hero, the Labyrinth Sword for Junpei and the P4 hero, the Amakuni for the P3 hero, the Rappa for Koromaru and Yosuke, and the Full Jin-Baori male armor. Balance Halo is used to create the Hades Bow for Yukari.
