Wild Beasts are one of the Shadows you'll find in the Arqa Block of Tartarus in Persona 3 Reload. These beasts won't be much of a hassle for you later, but when you're just starting out, they can prove to be a challenge. The best way to defeat a Wild Beast is the same as any other Shadow in Persona 3 Reload: Target its Affinity weakness.

Wild Beast Weaknesses & Resistances
Wild Beast is weak to Light and Dark Skills in Persona 3 Reload. They have weak Strike Skills (i.e, Bash and Sonic Punch), but they also have the attack-enhancing Tarukaja. They are level 12 and spawn on the earlier floors of Arqa Block (23-43).

If you don't have a Persona with Light or Dark Skills (ex, Kouha), then here are some pointers for battling it:
- The main thing you'll want to note when battling a Wild Beast is that they're likely to buff themselves with Tarukaja before attacking. Using Sonic Punch or Bash with Tarukaja stacked can be dangerous for your team if they're low-level.
- If you can't target its weakness, then buff your team by enhancing attack or accuracy or debuff the Wild Beast with Rakunda (lowers defense) or Sukunda (lowers accuracy/evasion).
- If you don't have buff/debuff Skills, then focus on attacking the enemy with hard-hitting Physical Skills, except Pierce.
How to Get Light & Dark Skills
Which Personas Should You Use?
If you're still early in your playthrough of Persona 3 Reload, then chances are you don't have a Persona with Light or Dark Skills at this point. Once you enter Arqa block, you have a chance to get the Personas Archangel and Unicorn during Shuffle Time. Both Personas learn Kouha, an attack that deals weak Light damage to one target. You can get more Persona with Light Skills by fusing Archangel or Unicorn and passing down their Kouha Skill (if it can be transferred) to the new Shadow.
There are also Kouha and Eiha items that can be used on enemies to deal Light and Dark damage respectively.
Another way to get Light and Dark Skills is to get them as Skill Cards. During Shuffle Time, you may get a suit of swords. These are always Skill Cards, and you can preview what Skill it is before selecting it. Skill Cards can then be used by going into your Items in the pause menu.
