Party/Koromaru

This article covers information on Koromaru as a party member, including uses and strategies, in Persona 3.
==Overview==
Koromaru becomes playable on 8th August after fending off a Shadow attack on Naganaki Shrine. The party determines him to also be a Persona user and he gets outfitted with a custom Evoker before he joins S.E.E.S.
Koromaru specializes in raw offense, having variety in affinity, power and range, while making up for it with high evasion from his Agility stat and his unique armor type, which has an increased evasion stat compared to others. Koromaru wields both Fire and Dark skills, and is unique in the sense that he's the only party member able to cast multi-target insta-kill skills. That being said, he is unable to directly support his allies, and all of his skills cater directly towards the enemy faction.
Koromaru also has access to Counter skills to enhance his evasion against Physical attacks, making him efficient against Physical fighters, especially due to the fact Physical attacks have a reduced accuracy.
In The Journey episode of Persona 3 and FES, Koromaru is also able to induce enemies with Fear, causing them to not only be paralyzed, but also have a greater chance of sustaining Critical hits. Though Koromaru himself has no specialized means of exploiting it and he lacks the time needed to take another turn, it is highly recommended for another ally with Physical skills to follow through with it. That being said, should Koromaru team up with another combatant in that manner, their synergy allows both to overwhelm Physical-based enemies.
The Answer and Portable exchange his Fear-inducing skills for Sukukaja and Masukukaja, lending party-wide support with a pre-emptive agility buff to aid in evasion from incoming attacks. Portable also drops his Fire Break skill for Mudo Boost to greatly increase his insta-kill accuracy.
Koromaru is immune to Fire and Darkness, and is weak against Light. Unlike other party members, Koromaru never experiences a second awakening, and only uses Cerberus in battle. However, Koromaru already has all the benefits of a second awakening, with innate immunities and the ability to learn a full suite of skills.
