Okay, so I've played it a bit more (I'm to 5/1)...
Starting combat is still a pain. I try to run behind the enemy then quickly turn and slash. Sometimes it gets me a first strike, sometimes it doesn't... other times I miss (since I'm facing the camera) and get hit myself.
Lack of SP is still a problem but I may have solved it. I was messing around with fusing and saw one named Sarasvati in the list but then forgot how I saw it. Today I spent a little bit messing around and finally found her again. At level 19 she gains the +5 SP per turn ability. She comes at level 17 though so I need to wait for the next dungeon to get that ability but I'm thinking it'll solve my problems... or at least help them.
I also have Growth 1 on 4 of my Personas so as long as one of them isn't fighting, I'm effectively getting 200% EXP in every battle.
My Persona list so far is: Sarasvati (17), Cu Sith (11), Sylph (11), Lilim (11), Izanagi (10), and Nata Taishi (7).
Any advice?
