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

	Reason: Not sure about the effects and targets. The P4G guidebook, the datamine sheet, and just gameplay footage all conflict with each other on some of these.

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.

Party Member	Follow-Up	Effect
Yosuke Hanamura	Yosuke Strike	Crits a random enemy
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.

The first is an Almighty damage combo move which triggers when two specific party members are in the party together and an All-Out Attack has failed to kill the enemies.

Characters	Combo
Chie and Yukiko	The Green Sacred Dragon & the Red InnkeeperJP / Twin DragonsENG
Teddie and Yosuke	Junes Bomber
Kanji and Naoto	Beauty and the Beast

The second is called a Cavalry Attack, which is performed by a party member who is not in the current party. They will ride in on their scooter (or pedal bike or roller skates in the case of Kanji and Teddie respectively) and perform an attack with the same effects as their regular follow-up.

Trivia

• If Chie's Galactic Punt gets a critical hit on a regular non-boss enemy, it may show a damage indicator for 32767 damage somewhere on screen. In computer science, 32767 is the highest possible value for a signed 16-bit integer value.
