All-Out Attack

**All-Out Attack** (総攻撃, *Soukougeki*), known as (フルボッコ, *Furu Bokko*), is a battle tactic in the Persona Record series.

## Role

As its name implies, triggering the command allows all characters to strike all enemies together at the same time. When executed, a cut-in session briefly showcases the face or bust images of all participants, then all participants will rush into the enemies in a burst of comical dust and attack effects. In *Persona 3* and *Persona 4*, if the attack does not finish off the enemies, then the characters will also be seen being knocked out before running back in the dust.

In addition, in *Persona 4* and *Persona 3 Portable*, if the attack is the finishing blow to the remaining enemies, the clouds will form a comical skull as a finishing touch. In *Persona 5*, instead of the smoke of skull, the last party member who contributes to the chance of that All-Out Attack will receive a "finishing touch" close-up, replacing the generic victory cutscene.

### Persona 3 / Persona 4

Like Fusion Raids or Fusion Spells, the prerequisite to trigger an All-Out Attack requires more than one character on the battlefield, and the protagonist cannot initiate All-Out Attacks alone. Furthermore, all enemies on the battlefield must be knocked down in order to trigger the All-Out Attack command. Also, any members with any [status effect that makes them uncontrollable manually (via the "command" option in tactics) will make them unable to join in; if the protagonist suffers from this, then it can't be initiated at all. "Knocked Down," or simply "Down," is a status that can be inflicted in multiple ways, such as exploiting an enemy's weakness , unleashing a Critical hit on them, or by the enemy missing a physical attack, which can sometimes cause them to "stumble." The Fusion Spell "Jack Brothers," usable with Jack Frost and Pyro Jack, and Kanji's "A Man's Way" special skill can also be used to achieve this effect as well.

However, there are some instances in which even though all enemies are knocked down, the All-Out Attack command will not initiate. One such case is if multiple enemies are faced, and all but one is knocked down; if the not-downed enemy is killed *without* unleashing a Critical or a weakness-exploiting attack on it, thus leaving the enemy party entirely knocked down, the party will not get an opportunity to unleash an All-Out Attack. Unless the attack was a Follow Up attack that either didn't count, or was a Critical or weakness-exploit, such as when finishing the last enemy that hasn't been downed with Chie's Galactic Punt. While late in-game boss enemies are mostly without weaknesses, the All-Out Attack can still be triggered should the boss enemy be hit with a Critical physical attack or miss with its own physical attack and slip.

The damage of an All-Out Attack is based on the normal weapon attack damage of each character and the total present characters in the battlefield. Thus, theoretically, the more powerful the characters' equipped weapons are, the more damage the All-Out Attack inflicts. All-Out attacks also deal more damage should there be only one targeted foe, rather than a group. It should also be noted that All-Out Attack is Physical Almighty based, meaning it cannot be voided, repelled, or absorbed. However, the damage of an All-Out Attack can still be severely withered should the targeted enemies resist Physical and/or Almighty-based attacks.

In *Persona 3 Portable*, finishing a battle with an All-Out Attack guarantees activation of Shuffle Time, as the "final blow" is still credited to the protagonist, therefore making its use pivotal in grinding.

### Persona 5

An All-Out Attack is initiated by the same means as in *Persona 3* and *Persona 4*. When all enemies are knocked down, a "Hold Up" session is triggered, accessing the choice between three options: "All-Out Attack," "Negotiation" and an option to disarm Hold Up. During negotiation, the option for All-Out Attack is still executable as long as it is Ren's turn to choose the next dialogue.

In order to trigger an All-Out Attack, there must be at least one other party member present alongside Ren. Additionally, allies that have been Downed or inflicted with a status ailment cannot participate. If Ren is not eligible to participate, or if he's the only one able to participate, the All-Out Attack cannot be triggered.

A different "finishing touch" close-up of that character will be displayed to replace the generic victory cutscene. The character selected is dependent on which ally inflicted the final Down that initiated the Hold Up.

Even Caroline and Justine, in their boss fight, have their own "All-Out Attack" and "finishing touch." They will perform it if the entire party is Downed, or if the party takes too much time to bring them to the next HP threshold, they will use Ardha to Down the entire party and initiate it. If they do so, it will instantly defeat the party regardless of their HP, defense or resistances.

Each character has a unique victory screen if they are the one who initiates the All-Out Attack. These victory screens also have a tagline and are as follows:

* Ren Amamiya - "THE SHOW'S OVER"
* Morgana - "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"
* Ryuji Sakamoto - "FREAKiN' BoRiNG"
* Ann Takamaki - "OMG!! We are SO awesome!"
* Yusuke Kitagawa - "IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED, GOODBYE."
* Makoto Niijima - "JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED."
* Haru Okumura - "Adieu."
* Goro Akechi - "MY SOLE INTEREST IS UNCOVERING THE TRUTH."
* Caroline and Justine - "Don't be so Cocky"
* Futaba Sakura - "Git Gud"
* Sumire Yoshizawa - "Beauty is Devotion"
* Goro Akechi (Black Mask) - "I DECIDE THE TRUTH"
* Lavenza - "Don't be so naїve"
