Using Affinity Skills is crucial for combat in Persona 3/Reload, Persona 4/Golden, and Persona 5/Royal. These skills, like Agi, derive their power from the Magic Stat of the party member, consuming SP upon usage.
Not all characters possess high Magic stats, even if they learn various Magic Skills. To excel in non-physical attacks, players should identify party members with superior Magic stats.
