Chie performing Galactic Punt Follow-Up Attack from Persona 4 Golden

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.

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, not used versus bosses
Chie Satonaka	Galactic Kick	Crits a boss enemy
Yukiko Amagi	Fan Assault	Crits a random enemy
Kanji Tatsumi	Atomic Pressure	Crits multiple enemies
Teddie	Wild Ways	Crits a random enemy

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	Twin Dragons
Teddie and Yosuke	Junes Bomber
Kanji and Naoto	Beauty & 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.

There are 2 types of Follow-Up attacks in Persona 5. The first is unlocked at Confidant level 3 for most party members, The exceptions are Sumire Yoshizawa, Makoto Niijima, and Goro Akechi which unlock them at 6, 4, and instantly respectively.

After landing a Critical Hit or striking an enemy's weakness, a character in the Reserve Party has a chance to perform a Follow-Up Attack. These attacks have a high possibility of knocking down enemies.

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.
