I sure don't have mediarama. I'm currently level 40, and my allies range from 32-38. Any suggested personas to train for mediarama/other stuff? I've only tried it once, and I got it down to 80%~ before dying.

I can... try. Bizarrely (and this has been a problem I've had to work around the other times too) there's no complete list of FES's compendium with skills/level on GameFAQs. There's one for the original P3 but IIRC it is not always going to match up with FES. (Some of this is because FES added a new Arcana and some Persona got shuffled around) I... think... it's mostly compatible though. Hopefully it is.

Before getting into your options there, let's take a look at Sleeping Table's Arsenal: Megidola (Again, there's no tricks here you just eat it. You can debuff Sleeping Table with Tarunda/buff yourself with Rakukaja but that is it), Maragidyne (Tier 3 Fire Spell that hits all), Hamaon (Single Target Light Insta-kill), Evil Smile (Chance of Fear to all), and Ghastly Wail (Insta-kill on any feared character).

He blocks Strike (Akihiko's normal attack, is strong against the other physical types, and also strong to Fire.) Junpei's out right off the bat because that's an awful set for him. Koro too. Probably want to roll with Yukari, Ahikiro, and Aigis.

Back to the Persona.

Leanan Sidhe is a Level 33 Empress Persona that will learn Mediarama at 38. This is... probably not ideal though because you'll have no S-Link Bonus on fusion so you'd have to level it the hard way.

Saki Mitama, if he's the same as the P3 guide, is a tempting choice. Level 39 Lovers Persona. Learns Mediarama at 42. I think a Lovers Rank of about 6 gets you there. Even if you're not that far in Yukari's link (and you probably aren't) it'll help a bit. It also has a resistance to fire and comes with Zionga which you can use for offense.

You can use Magic Mirror as a defense to his non-Megidola spells. Also, depending on your item situation you can try to forgo Mediarama if you have a ton of Bead Chains and don't mind using a ton on this fight. They're full HP recovery for the whole team.

Argh, this would be a lot easier for me to strategize around with a Persona Compendium I knew I could trust. FWIW, the FES FAQ is considerably overlevelled to you. They recommend leveling to 50 for this fight (they essentially fuse a Persona that can block all of Sleeping Table's **** and just use items to heal through Megidola) they have an "alt" fusion of a Level 44 Persona (Okuninushi) but from memory I think that's a physical type Persona and may not be able to inherit Mediarama so you'd have to again go the item route. (And also probably get some other skills over to it to make it viable)

I will say that as an absolute last resort, levelling is an option here. Megidola may have no tricks, but the level difference between you and your enemy is a major component of the damage formula. It has Sleeping Table listed at Level 50. If true, that's the main reason it's grinding you to dust. A +10 advantage is huge in the damage formula. Just closing the gap would help your survivability considerably regardless of any other preparation.
