Capturing rare hand enemies inPersona 3 Reloadcan be a great way to geta bunch of rare items for money, if you can catch them in time. However, along with these rare hands, there are a few normal hands that can also be quite difficult to defeat if you aren’t aware of their weaknesses.
In particular, the Killing Hand is a hand enemy that often appears alongside other enemies in Tartarus. Since this foe is often found towards the beginning of the game, you might be unsure of its weaknesses. Here’s how you cantake down the Killing Handwith ease.
Where to Find Killing Hand in Persona 3 Reload

Killing Hand Weakness in Persona 3 Reload
Killing Hands are enemies that essentially protect the Treasure Handfrom being taken down easily. Their weaknesses and resistances are:
At this point in the game, you should have access to Yukari, Akihiko, Junpei, Mitsuru, and possibly Aigis, Koromaru, and Ken.You’ll want to make sure to at least bring alongYukarion your trip, as she will haveWind attacksthat she can use against the Killing Hand enemies.Treasure Handswill have a weakness for Light attacks,so we recommend bringing along a Persona that the main character might have that deals Light attacks. A few examples include Virtue (Justice), Robin Hood (Justice), or Mitra (Temperance).
The easiest to unlock early in the game would beMitra.This Persona can be found at Level 22, or can be fused using Chimera (Chariot) and Rakshasa (Strength), or Principality (Justice) and Lilim (Devil). If you have access toKenasa party member, you can bring him along to dealLight damageas well. However, if you are lacking in any Light options, you can still useWind attacks on Treasure Hands,especially the skillMagaruwhich will deal Wind damage to all enemies on the field. This will allow you to easily take out the Killing Hands, while also chipping away at the Treasure Hand’s health.
