| abstract | - Stasis Giant is a sub-boss found on the 180th floor of Tartarus in a group of three. They impede the player's progress and must be beaten to proceed. It later reappears as a normal enemy in the Harabah Block, between floors 202 to 213. Try to bring any high level +Evade Slash shoes equipped with the Main Character and a Persona with both healing skills and multi-target Ice/Elec skills (Titania for example). Party can consist of anyone except Aigis, Junpei or Koromaru due to the boss resisting both Fire and Physical attacks. Your best bet would be to go with someone who has a healing skill of their own (Ken, Akihiko,Mitsuru and Yukari) and someone who has a multi-target Ice/Elec ability (Mitsuru and Akihiko). Chernobog is an incredibly useful Persona for this fight, because while he may not inherently have any particularly effective attacks against the Giants, he eventually learns Megido and his immunity to Slash damage can dramatically increase your survival odds, . Attack Mirrors are also very helpful for this fight, like they are in most melee-centric boss battles. If you have shoes with high +Evade Slash and your party members were to be knocked unconcious, it is a lot safer to try and keep yourself alive by using healing skills and attacking while at full health rather than wasting a turn reviving them. It is even possible to solo this boss at a relatively high level using this tactic. Using Byakko or any other persona with the Virus Breath skill, the protagonist may also quickly cut down their HP quickly and switch to elemental attacks as the percentage reduction becomes less effective. Any attackers in the group would also benefit from focusing on one giant at a time, as otherwise they would use multi-target spells and leave all three alive and give them more chances for heavily damaging attacks. Stasis Giants will appear again in the second and third sections of Antenora within the Abyss of Time. They will generally use Matarunda before attacking. Due to their Evade Slash skill, it may be more advantageous to use Ice skills against them.
