Strategy[]
Contrarian King drains Fire, blocks Wind attacks and resists Physical and Almighty attacks. It can use Hysterical Slap, Marakunda if it manages a Critical Hit, and the Rampage skill, which has enough power to take out the party in a single cast.
Use Electricity and Ice attacks to bypass its resistances, the party should have Tarunda and Sukunda for this fight as well as a Persona that resists Physical attacks if possible. Have Yosuke cast Sukukaja on the party members and use the protagonist to cast Tarunda and Sukunda to weaken him. This will decrease the chance of him hitting the party with Rampage. If the party is successful then Rampage should only hit about 50% at a time. Bring plenty of Revival Beads because the protagonist will likely need to revive those that were KO'd. Equipping the protagonist with a Persona that resists Physical attacks will help ensure his survival. If not, any Physical Mirrors the party has picked up can be used.
Another strategy when playing Persona 4 Golden is, instead of using Sukukaja, is to have Chie use Rebellion (Social Link Rank 2 ability) on a party member of your choice, and then hit it with a Critical to knock it down. However, do not accept the All-Out Attack, as the Contrarian King will take reduced damage from it. Instead, continue attacking it with more physical attacks until it becomes Dizzy. This frees up a turn to heal or re-apply (de)buffs; if the party is already in good shape at that point the protagonist can continue the assault.

Trivia[]
- Contrarian King is notorious as its Rampage attack is stronger than normal due to his high Strength. Many players have been defeated by it because it chooses that attack many times in succession. Furthermore, it always starts the battle by casting Red Wall, which would trick new players into thinking that it is weak to Fire.
