Remix by Destructoid via Tiermaker Persona 5 The Phantom X S-tier characters These are practically the best characters you can use, especially in their assigned roles. If you're lucky enough to get one of them, you can fix them for their role. Miyu Sahara: Miyu is arguably the best support character to utilize in the current build of the game. She offers exceptional buffs, and you can get more returns by awakening her gradually. Ren Amamiya (Joker): There are better characters if you're solely taking DPS into account. However, Ren can target multiple enemies and synergize well with different team compositions. Ann Takamaki: Despite being slightly weaker than Ren, Ann's AoE DPS is top-notch. You all get the ability to debuff enemies, and it works mainly when there's a large mob of enemies to clear. Yaoling Li: I wanted to place Yaoling in A-tier because of the need for proper investment. Once awakened, Yaoling can become almost essential for clearing late-game content with the enemy debuffs on offer, which will be crucial at one point. Lufel: Excellent burst damage with Highlight synergy, and a must-have in every boss fight. Persona 5 The Phantom X A-tier characters The A-tier characters right now are pretty close to S-tier in terms of their in-game effectiveness. If you manage to land one of them, you can easily invest your resources and awaken them. Seiji Shiratori: Seiji is the best character to get if you're considering pure DPS. However, Seiji also needs a lot of investment to rise to Awareness 6 and utilize its abilities fully. Morgana: Not as elite as Miyu, Morgana is a hybrid character that offers buffs and also lands heals for allies. She fits well with different team compositions. Leo Kamiyama: Another character that goes to a whole different tier once you fully raise his Awareness levels. Ryuji Sakamoto: Ryuji's kit might feel limited in many ways, but it offers excellent damage with high DPS potential. Persona 5 The Phantom X B-tier characters When you've started, you won't have too many options to pick from. The following characters are good to fill in on a particular role if you're lacking in it. Kayo Tomiyama: Not much use in the story, but Kayo is a must-have in specific boss fights. Haruna Nishimori: Good character for beginners, but not much utility beyond that. Shun Kano: Shun can even be considered A-tier once you get the Awareness levels up to rank six. Persona 5 The Phantom X C-tier characters These are beginner characters that don't have much use. It's better to replace them as early as possible with better names from the tiers mentioned above.
