Follow-Up Attack is a recurring battle mechanic in the Persona series.

Overview

Follow-Ups are attacks that down enemies. They were introduced as a battle mechanic in Persona 4. When the protagonist downs an enemy and gains a One More, there is a chance that a party member will ask if they can use the One More to perform a follow-up attack and down another enemy.

Mechanics by Game

Persona 3 Portable

Follow-Ups were added to Portable. Here, they are called Co-ops, and involve the protagonist plus the party member attacking an enemy together to down it.

Persona 4

This article is in need of research.

After reaching Social Link rank 3, party members will start asking if they can perform follow-ups. The effect of each party member's follow-up varies. In the Japanese game, all of them are named Name's Follow-Up. In the English localization of the game, all of them have unique names.

Chie Satonaka Galactic Punt Instantly kills a random enemy, or crits if it's a boss enemy
Yukiko Amagi Fan Assault Crits a random enemy with a chance to cause Dizzy
Kanji Tatsumi Atomic Pressure Crits random enemies
Teddie Wild Ways Crits a random enemy
Naoto Shirogane Ultra Trigger Crits random enemies with a chance to cause Dizzy

Persona 4 Golden

Golden introduces two new kinds of follow-up attacks. These are also unlocked when reaching Social Link rank 3 with the respective party members.
