While all battles in Persona 5 Tactica are cool, the designers kept the biggest challenges for quests. Unlike missions, quests tend to rely on you working out the puzzle the quest sets. That’s certainly the case with Quest 5, Operation BOOM, hence this walkthrough guide.
Persona 5 Tactica is a squad-based tactical battle game set in the popular Persona universe. Put together a team of three heroes, then fight your way through each battle and quest to push the story forward while claiming new Personas to equip and fuse.
How to defeat all enemies in 3 turns - Persona 5 Tactica Operation BOOM walkthrough
In Operation BOOM, you need to take Morgana, Erina, and one other character. To complete the quest, you need to defeat all enemies within three turns.There are no adds on later turns, so what you see at the start of Turn 1 is what you get.
I chose Yusukeas my third team member, as he is myfavorite characterand has great gun skill and movement, allowing you the maximum targeting options. I don’t think your skills are that important for this quest, buthaving an AOE skill on Erinawill help. I used Shining Partisan, but it isn’t a requirement.
The key here is to do massive damage in Turn 1, as you’ll have a couple of targets that aren’t in cover you can take advantage of. One well-placed Triple Threat should mean you only need to mop up the stragglers in Turn 2.Don’t fear all those bombs, as most can simply be ignored, while a few will help you succeed.
Turn One - Triple Threat mayhem
Moves 1 and 2 - Yusuke
Run Yusuke around the side of the tower. Thanks to his speed and range, you’ll be able totarget the unprotected Guard right at the back. Gun the Guard to knock him down and get 1 More Action.
Move Yusuke to the position above. This allows him totarget the group by the towerwith a Gun attack while also being in a good position for Triple Threat later. Shoot the barrel, which causes havoc with the three enemies here. Good work, Yasuke!
Moves 3 and 4 - Mona
Thanks to the explosion,Mona now has a target out of cover(above). Using the Garu Persona will push them into the center while giving you 1 More Move and increased movement range.

Move Mona past the tower totarget the other Guard on the far side that has no cover. I just used Gun here, as the important thing is to get another 1 More Action.
Move 5 - Mona and Erina
Move Mona and Erina into the positions above and thenTriple Threat. Boom. You’ll hopefully be down to six enemies now.
Move 6 - Erina
You’re going to have to leave Erina a little exposed here, but it will be worth it.Target the guard and barrelpictured with a Gun attack, moving the Guard into a better position to deal with during the next turn.
Turn Two - Triple Threat two, game over
Move 7 - Erina
If you’ve followed along with my Turn 1 plan, Erina will now be in the position you see above. This means you canhit all three Guards with any small area attackyou have available and alsoget a 1 More Actionin the process. You’ll want to verify youdown the unprotected Guard, not kill them, to enable Triple Threat. Even if you can’t target all the enemies, just be sure to down that one guard.
Move 8 - Erina
All you need to do now is move the team members into the positions you see above, taking outall of the remaining enemies in one Triple Threat hit. If you haven’t done this more damage, you should still have hammered these Guards enough to pick off any stragglers with Mona and Yusuke.
Turn 3 - Dealing with any stragglers
The worst-case scenario should be that one or two Guards have survived into Turn 3, probably because the weapons and Personas you have equipped aren’t as powerful as the ones I used when I completed this quest.
Finally, if it just isn’t happening, don’t worry too much. Quests are optional and you may still come back to them if you move on to the next part of the game.
