Best strategy to beat Barbaric Beast Wheel in P3R
With weakness-hitting Wind magic skills like Garu in her skillset, Yukari will be key in taking down the Barbaric Beast to get through this Persona 3 Reload boss fight.
Meanwhile, Junpei's Agi Fire-type skill can knock down the Magic Hands - allowing for All-Out Attacks when all three have fallen.
To allow Yukari some breathing space so she has free turns to heal the party as well with Dia or Media, you should also recruit Personas with Wind skills of your own for the protagonist to use. Up to this point, the easiest would be Angel - obtainable through Shuffle Time after some Shadow encounters - which knows Garu naturally.
Keep repeating the process of exploiting each enemy's weakness to knock them down and follow up with an All-Out Attack, use Yukari to heal the party when neccessary, and the Barbaric Wheel will soon roll away into nothing.
