Secret Boss Joker: Heartless Difficulty - Persona 3 Reload: Episode Aigis

Playlist -    • Persona 3 Reload - Episode Aigis (PS5)  

Here he is the Masked Boy Joker from Persona 5 the optional opponent for Episode Aigis and if you make the mistake of selecting the Heartless Difficulty option this battle goes from tough to almost impossible but I'm always up for a challenge and ATLUS did not disappoint this time.
For those seeking to perform a similar feat here is a compressive guide on how to take Joker down on Heartless Difficulty starting with the rules.

*You cannot have Aigis null an skill Joker is about to use or he will Sinful Shell your party (this includes status effects)
If Joker has all three of his stats lowered at the start of his turn, Sinful Shell
*You cannot have a charge or concentrate on turn 0 or turn 1 or Sinful Shell
Junepi and Koromaru cannot be on the same team or Sinful Shell
*If you use the Theurgy Armageddon at any point Joker will retaliate with Sinful Shell
*If during the aliment phase he uses the Persona Mother Harlot and your party does not have 2 separate status effects, Sinful Shell
*If you got over the 20 turn time limit, you guessed it Sinful Shell

On Heartless Difficulty Joker also acts before your characters so to waste one of his turns it's recommended you bring a Persona with Auto Tarukaja to minimize his actions.
My strategy revolves around using Aigis as a healer and Akihiko as a back up healer using Bead Chain EX and skipping the ailment phase by hitting Joker as hard as possible when he switches to Anubis, resulting in Joker using Will of Rebellion early and skipping the Stagnant Air status effect.

You DO need to grind a significant amount of HP up cards to survive but you do not need 999 HP as others have recommended as demonstrated by this video, with a bit of luck, guarding on your party members and a Dark & Physical damage user you can win with a decent amount of luck
