Party/Aigis

This article covers information on Aigis as a party member, uses and strategies in Persona 3.
==Overview==
===Persona 3 / FES / Portable ===
Aigis joins S.E.E.S. on 21st July, though she would not become playable until 24th July, after the party returns from their vacation in Yakushima.
Aigis specializes in dealing physical damage of all types, learning Strike and Slash skills to complement her Pierce normal attack. She also learns buff skills to support her allies, picking up all three -kaja buffs and then later replacing them with their group-affecting versions. With her high Endurance and health, she is able to tank hits better than the other SEES members. Compared to Junpei, the other physical bruiser of the cast, she can't hit elemental weaknesses at all, but has easy access to group-hitting physical skills starting with Swift Strike and later Heat Wave.
Unique to Aigis is her Orgia Mode, which can be triggered from the Tactics Menu. It takes a turn to execute and clears Aigis of any ailments on activation. For the next two turns, Aigis's offensive power increases but she also becomes completely uncontrollable, which is great for ending fights quickly. Once Orgia Mode expires, though, Aigis overheats and needs 3 turns to cool down, during which she cannot be commanded. Aigis's Orgia Mode makes her skills free to use in Portable, reducing the risk of entering its cooldown period on low HP from skill use.
Aigis also eventually picks up a single healing spell Diarahan at level 59 but doesn't learn any of its earlier iterations like Akihiko or Mitsuru would.
Aigis resists Pierce attacks and is weak against Electricity. As a machine, she also has Poison immunity.
Aigis is the last party member to undergo an awakening, only doing so on December 30th. Her Persona transforms into Pallas Athena, making her completely bulletproof - immune to Pierce skills - and rounds off her skill set with Samarecarm and the strongest Strike skills in the game God's Hand and Akasha Arts.
In a similar vein to Junpei, Aigis has a rocky start as her single-target buffs have very limited mileage. Her offensive skill set doesn't scale very well either, as she reaches a plateau with medium-strength skills Swift Strike, Heat Wave and Fatal End and doesn't pick up heavy-tier skills that serve as an intermediate before she learns her final physical attacks.
Once she reaches level 47 and starts picking up group buff skills, she truly starts to shine as she can augment the entire party at a moment's notice and becomes a strong party member for many bosses. Pair her up with Junpei and Koromaru (The Answer/Portable), and the three combined can set up group buffs for all combat aspects in one rotation. Once she gets Diarahan she also can serve as an off-healer and serves the party well when assigned to Heal/Support.
Pool 	Pool 	Explanation
Akasha Arts	Matarukaja	General combatant with general Physical combat and target-based healing and revival. Complements both with offensive and defensive support skills.
God's Hand 	Marakukaja	General combatant with general Physical combat and target-based healing and revival. Complements both with offensive and defensive support skills.
Diarahan 	Masukukaja	General combatant with general Physical combat and target-based healing and revival. Complements both with offensive and defensive support skills.
Samarecarm 	Dekunda 	General combatant with general Physical combat and target-based healing and revival. Complements both with offensive and defensive support skills.
===The Answer===
Aigis functions just like the protagonist in The Answer. Aigis now has the special property of being a Wild Card making her able to summon and switch between different Personas in battle, as well as change her stock of Personas to an extent. Her new initial Persona is Orpheus replacing Athena. In the process of gaining the Wild Card, she loses access to Orgia Mode, which her sister Metis would inherit.
Just like the other protagonists in Persona 3, Aigis can never be swapped out of battle, and having her faint will result in an automatic Game Over.
===Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth===
Aigis like every character present in Persona Q is able to equip a Sub-Persona along with her original Personas (Palladion and Athena). Just like a Wild Card user, she may exchange her Sub-Persona and use other skills besides her main Persona.
===Persona 3 Reload===
In Reload, Aigis is not immune to Poison. Orgia Mode has been repurposed into a Theurgy skill.
