Dancing Hands are a type of “hands” Shadow that can be fought inPersona 3 Reload. While they look similar to Wealth and Treasure Hands, the Dancing Hands enemies have a different Affinity weakness than their rarer counterparts. Fortunately, you start off with a Persona inPersona 3 Reloadthat can exploit this and make it easier to trigger an All-Out Attack. If you lost this Persona via Fusion, then you’ll need to rely on one of your teammates' Skills if you’re someone who prefers to target a Shadow’s weakness at the start of battle.

To avoid themexploiting your team’s Affinity Weaknesses, you’ll want to knock them down as soon as you can.

However,Skill Cards are not always present in Shuffle Time, and you’ll only get Shuffle Time if you manage toland the final blow with an All-Out Attack.
