This page contains all of the Personas in Persona 5.
Just like every Persona game before it, Persona 5 is full of different Personas, each with their own abilities and powers to make them unique. Personas can be obtained through the various fusion techniques or through capturing Shadows in Palaces and Mementos. Some Personas also have requires to unlock them. Click on their name to find out more about them.
For the level, it is their lowest/default level upon fusing or capturing them. Upon registering a Persona, it will be shown as whatever level the registered version of the Persona had. It will also cost more due to this, as well as any different moves it learns.

Our Persona Recommendations
There are a lot of Personas in Persona 5, but not all of them are as useful as others once you start levelling up. These are our recommendations for Personas to have in your party at a given level. This is not a definitive list as just about any Persona can become useful with enough training. These are merely our recommendations for a Persona or two to have in your roster.
Levels 1-10
- Arsene (Fool): You start off your journey with this Persona and it's one of the fastest you'll come across. For a while, it may only excel in speed, up higher levelling of it balances out its stats incredibly. You will need to use skill cards, Strengthening, and Isolation training to allow it to fully reach its potential, though.
- Genbu (Temperance): This Persona can be obtained in the first Palaceand comes with the excellent ability to automatically gain a portion of the experience your active Persona gets. Because of this, you can always have another Persona that is somewhat ready to go when needed. It also provides Ice attacks early in the game before you might have that sort of coverage on your team.
Levels 11-20
- Shiisaa (Chariot): This Persona is a strong one with high endurance and strength, so it's great to have to pack a punch. With its resistance to physical attacks, you'll find yourself lasting a lot longer upon fusing this Persona. Check out our Fusion guide so you can figure out how to fuse it quickly.
Levels 21-30
- Flauros (Devil): This is an all-around powerful Persona that can get a lot of coverage and useful magic skills through Advanced Fusion. It's also required for the Strength Confidant, so look into getting it.
- Fuu-Ki (Star), Sui-Ki (Moon), and/or Kin-Ki (Chariot): All three of these Personas are very strong and the first two can be obtained in the third Palace. These function as heavy hitters, but having a healer teammate on your team can allow you to dish out massive damage while getting your health restored. Another strong melee Persona that can be obtained in the third Palace is Oni (Strength).
- Shiki-Ouji (Chariot): This Persona can be fused very early on into your 20s and provides the excellent ability to nullify any Physical and Gun attacks as well as Curse, though with a single weakness to Nuclear attacks. This Persona will also use Psychic attacks, something that you might not have come across much yet at this point.
Levels 31-40
- Kikuri-Hime (Priestess): This Persona is available in the sixth Palace and is a very powerful healer. You'll find that later in the game that you might need to act as the healer while your teammates deal damage to bosses. Personas like Kikuri-Hime are good choices for that.
- Thoth (Emperor): This Persona is a strong magic user that is efficient at targeting multiple enemies, so it's ideal for clearing Palaces up until the boss or for Mementos. It's available in the fourth Palace and is actually the first Emperor Persona you can obtain through negotiations, allowing you to excel with the Emperor confidant.
- Arahabaki (Hermit): This Persona is exceptional due to its ability to reflect both Physical and Gun attacks while also resisting Bless and Curse. However, it does have a weakness to Nuclear and Psychic attacks that you'll have to watch out for.
- Belphegor (Tower): This Persona is rather defensive while having strong magic attacks. It's also the first Tower Persona that you can obtain through negotiation (in the fifth Palace), so it's worth having.
- Kaiwan (Star): This Persona is strong with Psychic skills, something that many up until this point might not have. You can get it in the fifth Palace.
Levels 41-50
- Rangda (Magician): Rangda is easily one of the best Personas in the game. You can obtain it in the sixth Palace. It's ability to use strong magic attacks (typically Fire or Dark) help, but its main appeal is that it can reflect both Physical and Ranged attacks, making it next to impossible to defeat for many Shadows, including some bosses.
- Sarasvati (Priestess): This Persona is another very powerful healer and is definitely recommended to have as battles get harder and longer.
- Hecatoncheires (Hanged): This Persona can only be fused via Advanced Fusion and is one of the Strength Confidant's requests. However, it can be stocked up with a number of powerful magic and melee skills, so it's worth having, especially due to its higher stats.

Levels 51-60
- Surt (Magician): This Persona is one of the strongest magic users in the game and is extremely powerful with Fire attacks. It's able to burn through most enemies, including bosses, with ease.
- Titania (Empress): This Persona is very powerful with magic, including Bless skills, but also has high endurance, making it a very defensive choice.
- Parvati (Lovers): This one is another good healer that should definitely be considered in a roster.
- Norn (Fortune): Norn is one of the Personas with much higher endurance than the others. Paired with having no weaknesses, it's a great choice for long battles where you'll need to take a hit or two repeatedly.
- Baphomet (Devil): This Persona excels with Fire and resists Curse, too. It's powerful magic attacks and decent stats will make it very useful against a number of enemies. It will come available with some of the stronger Fire attacks in the game.
Levels 61+
Beyond this range, your new options will start getting smaller, and for good reason. The Personas in this range are the best in the game, so just about any choice is a good one.
The key Personas to look at are the ones that you unlock via maxing out Confidant ranks. Here are a few that we recommend, nonetheless:
- Cybele (Priestess): She is easily the best healing-based Persona in the game, but requires you to have maxed out the Priestess Confidant. Having her can, and most likely will, change the tide of battle if you're losing due to her more unique skills.
- Bishamonten (Hierophant): Bishamonten makes this list due to his sheerpower. It is effective in almost any situation and can help you hold your own when needed.
- Thor (Chariot): As one would imagine, Thor is one of the most powerful Electric-based Personas in the game, second only to his father, Odin (Emperor). It also does not require a maxed Confidant and has very appealing stats all around, allowing him to be a tank while dealing out both physical and magical damage effectively.
- Arsene (Fool): This Persona has made this list twice for good reasons. With the right skills taught to it (via Skill Cards), this Persona is effectively one of the best in the game. With very high speed, it will almost always allow Joker to attack first and it's late-game stats become downright impressive. This Persona can hold its own from start to finish.
Personas
All 192 Personas listed below can be fused through a normal fusion or found in a Palace/Mementos unless they are part of an advanced fusion/are unlocked upon maxing out a Confidant.
Unlocking a Persona via maxing out a Confidant only allows you to fuse them through Advanced or Normal fusion. It does not give you the Persona right away.
Wk = Weak to, Str = Strong against, Nul = Blocks/Nullifies,
Dr = Drains/Absorbs, Rpl = Repel/Reflect
