While personalities might be endlessly subjective, here are a few concise points when it comes to comparing their battle prowess. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

CHIE SATONAKA She Can Team Up With Yukiko To Put Akihiko In A World Of Hurt

Persona 4 Golden introduced the concept of link attacks, with being one such partnership that can unleash an attack called Twin Dragons for a ton of damage. While a one-on-one battle might be more closely contested, one can say that Chie will gain the upper hand over Akihiko with this attack alone.

AKIHIKO SANADA He Can Deal A Ton Of Critical Damage

Akihiko has an innate ability called Apt Pupil, which increases his chances of dishing out critical damage. Using this passive ability along with his physical moveset can put Chie in a world of hurt.

CHIE SATONAKA She Can Counter Most Moves

However, one advantage that Chie has in this regard is the fact that she has the ability to counter moves with a 20% success rate. So, there's a change that Akihiko's physical strategy might backfire on him, forcing him to utilize a different strategy.

AKIHIKO SANADA He Can Do The Same With A Higher Success Rate

However, Chie can't go into the battle thinking that she's the only fighter than can counter Akihiko's moves. Her opponent can do the same... with a higher rate of effectiveness, to boot. While Chie's chance of countering a physical attack is 20%, Akihiko sports a superior rate of 30%. This means that Chie can't rely on her physical attacks all the time, which can prove to be somewhat problematic since she doesn't exactly have good magical moves in her arsenal.

CHIE SATONAKA Using Power Charge Can Make Her Melee Attacks Fatal

However, that being said, there's no way Chie can win this fight by playing it safe. A fair bit of risk needs to be taken for her to excel in this regard, which is exactly where her Power Charge comes him. Chie has a great physical moveset, and coupling this with her Power Charge can increase her damage potential by loads.

AKIHIKO SANADA Mind Charge Can Significantly Augment His Magical Damage

However, while Chie might have a superior physical moveset, Akihiko's spells can actually prove to be his trump card. This is mainly due to the fact that he has Mind Charge, which can turn his moves into one-hit kills. This, coupled with Ziodyne and Megidolaon, means that Akihiko can completely wipe the floor with Chie if he gets a chance to charge up his magic.

CHIE SATONAKA Dragon s Dance Is A Godsend

Unlike Akihiko, Chie actually has a third-tier Persona that allows her to access a move called Dragon's Dance, which increases the Attack, Defense, and Hit/Evasion rate of everyone in the party. While this might only be useful in a team battle, there's no reason why Chie can't whip this move out in a solo battle if she's stuck in a tight spot... provided she has the SP to spare.

AKIHIKO SANADA He Can Take Advantage Of Chie s Low SP Pool

One major drawback for Chie is the fact that her SP pool is comparatively small, which won't really allow her to unleash powerful attacks with impunity. If Akihiko turns this battle into one of attrition, then it's very much possible that Chie will be unable to face this onslaught for long before getting exhausted and leaving herself open to a counterattack.

CHIE SATONAKA Her Ultimate Persona Can Prove To Be The Deciding Factor

Unlike the characters of Persona 3, Persona 4 Golden actually introduced the concept of Third Tier Personas, with Chie's, in particular, being quite a powerful Persona indeed. An improved offense, along with a bunch of resistances, can allow this kung-fu aficionado to get the better of her foe.

AKIHIKO SANADA His Chances Of Sustaining Critical Damage Are Lowered

We've already discussed Akihiko's tendency to deal a ton of damage, but what hasn't been mentioned yet is the fact that he also has a passive ability called Sharp Student, which reduces his chances of being hit for critical damage. Chie has a very physical moveset, meaning that she can be quite reliant on some of these moves hitting for critical damage to make her life easier. However, if Akihiko can avoid getting critically hit, then Chie is definitely engaging in an uphill battle.
