Persona 3 Reload offers a plethora of exhilarating boss encounters, many of which involve facing shadows in Tartarus and around Tatsumi Port Island. Nevertheless, there are instances where you'll confront human adversaries, such as the Persona users from Strega. Unlike shadows, members of Strega, like Chidori, pose a more significant challenge, requiring strategic prowess to emerge victorious.
Chidori, a conflicted young woman and a member of Strega, is one such formidable opponent. Despite the brevity of her boss fight, she should not be underestimated. Acting as Strega's navigator, Chidori proves her combat prowess, making it essential to employ a well-thought-out strategy for a swift victory.
Chidori Overview
Chidori presents an unexpected boss encounter, deviating from the pattern of previous fights tied to the full moon. Freed from the confines of the hospital, she positions herself outside Tartarus, inviting SEES to engage in a battle as she grapples with her inner conflicts.
What makes Chidori a challenging adversary is her lack of weaknesses. In fact, she not only resists fire attacks but also absorbs them, effectively healing herself. While it's not necessary to completely deplete her HP for victory, the challenge lies in bringing her health low enough, especially when she can fully recover through healing.

Best Team Composition
Upon encountering Chidori, the option to include Junpei in your party is unavailable. It's advisable to refrain from bringing any team members vulnerable to fire, such as Mitsuru.
Optimal choices for your party include Aigis and Yukari. Yukari can assume a supportive role, providing healing support, while Aigis excels in delivering powerful Physical attacks. Additionally, considering Koromaru and Akihiko for your team can prove advantageous in navigating the challenges posed by Chidori.
How To Defeat Chidori
To emerge victorious against Chidori, strategic preparation is key. Equipping a Persona with Tetrakarn or one that repels Slash attacks proves highly beneficial. Chidori employs Neuro Slash, posing a threat to your party, and having the protagonist reflect or nullify this damage is crucial for surviving the battle.It's noteworthy that defeating Chidori doesn't require bringing her HP down to zero. After a few turns, when approximately a quarter of her HP is depleted, she regains composure and ceases the confrontation. Following this, a substantial dialogue unfolds involving Strega before transitioning to the next day.
