This beginner's guide of the best early personas might be incomplete. It's based on my own experience and I might have missed something or maybe said something wrong. If that's the case, feel free to add your opinion in the comments below.
TL; DW
You can use pretty much whatever you want without following these tips. I play just by randomly forging whatever I don’t already have to complete my collection. Just make sure you have a good variety of elements and skills.
Get some debuffs for when you face bosses. (ATK & AGI debuffs). It’s not necessary but will make your life easier against bosses. For example, the earliest ATK debuff you can get is at level 4 from Bicorn.
Obariyon (level 8) has Snap, Sukunda and learns Lucky Punch at level 9. Snap is a Gun dmg skill and Sukunda is AGI debuff. Lucky Punch is very very useful as it has high critical rate. You can use it to bring down enemies for which you don’t have strong element against or they don’t have weaknesses. It also works against enemies that resist physical attacks, but it will not work against enemies that block/repel physical attacks (unless they have statuses like freeze)
Andras (level 10) learns Apt pupil at level 13, a passive which increases critical rate. Along with lucky punch, you will do criticals very often
Onmoraki (level 12) learns Pulinpa and confusion boost at 15. It’s useful for money farming (guide here: / update_money_farming_g... )
Makami (level 15) has Frei (nuclear dmg). I think it’s the first persona to have it and you won’t find many others, so take it in case you find someone weak to Nuclear
Ippon-Datara (level 13) is strong to Fire, Blessing and Curse and repels Wind while only weak to Ice. Also he learns Rampage at 15 which is a nice AoE physical attack for early phases
MATADOR (level 19) BEST EARLY GAME PERSONA. Learns Swift Strike at level 20 (3-4 light phys damage to all enemies). The damage output is huge and to put it into perspective, Ryuuji (Captain Kid), which is your main physical damage dealer at the beginning, learns Swift Strike at level 32, which is basically 2 palaces later. Just get this persona.
Suzaku (level 19) learns Speed Master at level 23, a passive that applies AGI bonus (Accuracy/Evasion) at the beginning of the battle. Combine it with Matador’s Swift Strike to miss less.
Shiki-Ouji (level 21) BLOCKS physical/gun damage and is the perfect early recipient for Swift Strike + Speed Master. You need to fuse Suzaku with Jack-o-Lantern to make Orobas and then fuse Orobas with Matador. Shiki-Ouji’s only weakness is Nuclear and there aren’t many nuclear enemies while there are lots of physical enemies.
Phoenix (level 22, Feng Huang in the calculator) learns Recarm at level 25 (Revive ally). Very useful in case you don’t want to farm money for revive items.
Anzu (level 25) small mention because of Masukukaja (AGI buff to whole party)
Principality (level 29) learns Mediarama at level 31 (moderate heal to party), Morgana’s Zorro learns it at 34
Setanta (level 28) learns Charge at level 34. Charge increases your damage of your next physical attack by 2.5x. It will still be a core skill at the end of the game.
Neko Shogun (level 30) learns Invigorate 1 at level 31. 3 SP regen each turn
Pyro Jack is now called by his japanese name. (Jack-O-Lantern) Of all the things P5 does, THIS is the thing that blows my mind.
I personally preferred pyro jack
In Royal they changed his name to C0ck-O’-Lantern
Sands yeah tottaly😅
@@sands201 damn dude... that's so funny I forgot to laugh
Thank you for your contribution to the Person community. I am currently ~24 hours, dungeon 2, into the game and found this video very useful. Also, accents add character. I could perfectly understand you.
>24 hours in palace 2
I just finished the 3rd palace
The Matador tip is amazing. Will have to grab that as I've been lacking a Death Persona.
Matador is the main reason I made the video xD
fuse Matador into Oni, and gave it swift strike from Matador. Oni have way better stats than matador, also Oni resist to phycical dmg
same however I have other stronger persona that can use metaphors skills
@@0omatthewo0 fuse with oni or into oni through another persona?
@@sakibkhan5383 sorry this is late but I think he means Matador into Oni
Ame no Uzume at level 29 learns Divine Grace at level 32. That's a 50% boost for healing spells and lets Diarama and Mediarama deliver a lot more potence. Though you won't need it on personas that have diarahan, it's great early and mid game. Be sure to fuse it down to a low level healing persona like Pixie for NG+.
Oh man, that's brilliant! I didn't realize to buff low-level personas for NG+
Can you do it with Arsene?
@Mina69a you are correct about the compendium carrying over in NG+ but you need to have enough money in order to summon them. Some people dont use the money trick as they never knew how to do it until after they complete the game. An example of a person who didnt do the money trick until ng+ is myself XC
@Mina69a GOTTA SPEND MY LIFE SAVINGS ON THAT SP ADHESIVE 3 BOI. XD
Uzubae always winning
Thank you so much for making this! I was totally freaking out with the overwhelming amount of different skills/personas.
I'm nearly at the end of the game and I still use Shiki-Ouji because it's that good. I recommend this move set: Mapsi, Miracle punch, Swift Strike, Triple Down, Speed Master, Apt Pupil, Adverse Resolve, and Charge.
I agree. But i find dekaja really useful on him. But this persona is really strong and counter a lot of boss and mobs
I hope you enjoyed the video. Tell me if you think I should add anything ;D
If you want me to make other videos and maybe have some requests, feel free to ask.
You should've explained how to find these personas
The problem is that each persona can be fused in dozens of different ways and everyone has different starting personas, that's why I linked to the Persona 5 calculator. It's easier for people to just check the Persona they want on the calculator and see which path they prefer
I wish Lucky Punch was not physical attack and rather almighty
The Lucina Channel Lucky _punch_ not being a physical skill? :/
I fucking hate lucky punch
@@lilkumquat2008 lmaoooo
Took matador from the start of the game to the end. 100% my favourite persona and I highly recommend.
I did the same with shiki ouji i got sp adhesive 3 early and used him against things that only use physical and or gun to infinitely recover sp after my teammates died
Bicorn learns apt pupil at 8. Fuse him to make obyrion and then andres for less grinding
I had great success with Leanan Sidhe, a level 19 persona that gets Marin Karin and Psio. I also had it inherit Brainwash Boost from a Succubus and laugh as the midbosses murder each other and get bonus technical damage
I underestimated Leanan Sidhe. I had one with a skill of insta-kill to all foes & that was a great skill.
Leanan has saved me on multiple occasions
Leanan Shide is a great persona,her Psio skill is especially useful in the third palace, which is the one im going trough right now
"Obey my command!"
_MISS_
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU FOR A LONG TIME!!!!
I wouldn't be so sure I know what I'm talking about xD
Shiisaa is a better source for the Rampage skill than Ippon-Datara, IMO. Ippon is a Hermit arcana persona, and you don't have access to the Hermit confidant until the latter half of the game, so to get Rampage you'd need to manually level it up. And by the time that happens, you'll probably have access to Shiisaa, which you'll need to fuse for the Strength confidant anyway, and whose Chariot arcana you'll be more likely to have ranks of since Ryuji's link is available right from the start.
I had matador, It is the best persona in the beginning of the game
In Royal they changed his name to C0ckador and he had Swift Cxck instead of Swift Strike.
@@sands201 so he is weaker now? Im at the end of the first dungeon on Royal and I would like to know if he is a good pickup
Nice of you mentioning Neko Shogun, he's great because of many reasons:
-Invigorate (god i love myself some SP)
-Resistance to physical + good physical attacks (double fangs)
-Advanced fusion : it means you have a lot of slots available to pass skills on, which can turn this cat into a war machine for most of the early to mid dungeons (using it even at dungeon 5 isn't too far fetched).
It's definitely my preferred early to mid persona. The best in transition imo
And Matador is just flat out broken. Its only opponent in early game is basically Kaguya, and then again it's DLC
Yeah Neko Shogun is very nice. I found out about Matador randomly, but when I saw the damage from Swift Strike I was surprised
What could a good neko shogun movepool be?
I swear, all these pokemon fusions give me brain cancer. There are hundreds of combinations, and everytime u do fusion a new list of results comes up of new combinations. Not to mention u gotta figure out wat u wanna carry over that u don't already have or that u might learn later on. I jus went to dungeons and collect them all to register in book and buy them when I need. Saves me the headache.
I also played that way. Just fused and recruited every new persona I could regardless of how strong they were.
SephiZack Yea, that's wat i do. I spend hrs in dungeons collecting all. There are so many skills these pokemons have that I don't even remember/know them all, especially those rankunda, sakunda, tarakunda, blah blah crap. Then there's those status like dizzy, forget, brainwash, despair... Ughh... my head hurts thinkin about it. Anyways, great tips tho man.
Yeah I wish the buffs/debuffs names were easier to learn. I always have to manually check the skills in battle before I cast them
Yea, exactly. The reason they're hard to learn is bc they seem very similar to each other like confuse, brainwash, despair, dizzy, forget...wtf?. I ignore those and focus building on the simple element ones (fire, ice, etc.)
I never any statuses other than confuse. They're helpful, but you can't use them against bosses anyway so whatever. Elemental skills are definitely more important to focus on
Love the video been looking for good early personas but wasn't sure which ones were good, and i didn't keep any of the debuffing skills only buffs to party. I guess ill have to buy early personas and fuse to get them to where i'm at in the game.
MegaSinch Yeah single target debuffs are better than single target buff when you're against bosses. Late in the game, you'll want both single (or multi) target debuffs plus party-wide buffs
Just to mention there is also nekomata at level 17 which is better than makami and it just takes two extra levels he knows mafrei and stuff like Mazio or maragi or even mabufu is available just wanted to mention
I wish you uploaded more man, your guides are fantastic.
Obariyon was so useful in my playthrough.
A gun skill plus Lucky Punch worked well (and useful inheritance until Miracle Punch)
Any plans to make video guides for Persona 3 Reload?
Thanks for writing a TL:DW. Sometimes just like to quickly read stuff.
Special mention to Bicorn who learns Apt Pupil.
What does that do?
Increase crit chance.
Hey thanks for the video man, it was very helpful. Ignore some idiots who talk shit about your accent, I don't see anything wrong with your narration.
Matador: A video made for me.. Hm.
Dude Phoenix is like my favorite persona. I didn’t know how to play much at the beginning but when I had him it was insane how good he was
First persona game. I did not expect to be collecting and fusing personas so I needed to know what should I look out for.
Do passives carry over when you're using other personas? Like andras having apt pupil, does it actually have any effect when you switch to obariyon for lucky punch?
No it doesn't, you'd have to fuse them together to get something with both skills
ok, thanks for clearing that up!
dude you're awesome thanks for the vids keep it up
Your accent sounds awesome when I watch the video at 2x lol
Shaunak Deshpande Maybe I should do videos at 2x ;)
Lol
Bruh
I just found out that even in new game plus I still dont have mandrake just because I didnt want to waste time on it
The first palace is rather challenging compared to the second & third palaces.
At the time, I was looking around the forums just for any neat tips/tricks and it mentioned Obariyon with Lucky Punch. So I got an Obariyon for early game. However, I did not realize that compared to Mokoi, he really wasn't that useful for me. If anyone reading this is having trouble with the first palace, *Mokoi with Skull Cracker* will prove useful. Trust me.
Makami, I agree, is quite decent. But if you want a nuclear persona, Suzaku & Phoenix are more useful nuclear personas.
Shiki-Ouji is an impressive one, as he is resistant to physical damage. I made mine with a Regent (treasure demon), which makes him have a more varied/versatile moveset. Psychic, Bless & Curse moves fit him.
*Orthrus* wasn't mentioned in the video, but he is a fire persona with a decent moveset. I managed to get Swift Strike, Maragi and Growth 1 on mine. If you don't want to fuse for him, you can negotiate to get him in the third palace. If anything else, he'll prove useful as a catalyst for your future fusions.
great video, thanks man!
Nice video! Very helpful
Very helpful!
The best I say is Oni or whatever it is because you have no weakness but have only strong and null which you could get some powerful skills onto and have a op persona
i just notice ur shiki-ouji guide got wrong, it supposed to be fuse orobas with matador, not obarion xD
Oh thank you I didn't notice ;D
Makami is the easiest way to get a Frei skill card and fulfil the twins' request if you already have Shiisa in the compendium
Since you are heavy into this game i was wondering if you could answer a question. How many bare minimum points do i need for each confidant level and how many points do i need to earn to get to rank 10?
Awesome job man..
Still loving p4 i guess the song NEVER MORE AT THE END OF PERSONA 4 GOLDEN did not work lol
with principality u can fuse metatron in the future
is the only way to farm personas to do Hold Ups early game? Thanks for the guide. Very detailed and useful.
Phoenix looks so 🔥
Some interesting ideas specially Matador (had no idea he had swift strike I made him only for the Twin Wardens quest). Overall I'd say your ideas are very physical oriented which is not bad as such but early game magics are pretty strong as all out-attack one shot almost anything. Physical start to get interesting when all-out attack isn't enough in my opinion. But at least it's less SP heavy which is cool too.
Sombrego ah the reason why I didn't mention any magic is because those are easy to find and as long as you have at least one of every element, there's no need for me to point out magic skills. I do think having them is important and those are definitely what I use if I see a weakness
I agree, though Frei and Psi are not that common early game and having bufu in the first palace may seem trivial to veterans but still is a good recommendation
Sombrego The lack of frei at the beginning of the game is the reason I mentioned Makami. Psy is a bit more common though
Shoutout to my boi Jack-o'-Lantern. Rakunda is super helpful.
Yaksini with auto tarukaja at level 23
Thank you very much for your help :D
I cheesed the Kaneshiro boss fight using Shiki-Ouji and a spotlight
i always prefer catch or combine different personas thath look interesting for me either for the design or skills and i avoid to use guides and just enjoy the game
Hey man I wanted to ask if you know any good build for persona 5 build for joker in the beginning of the game ?
Do you know where I can specifically get Makami at the 2nd palace. I've been trying to find it but it seems he's nowhere to be found.
You fight Makami in a non-skippable battle towards the end of the 2nd palace, but in that battle you can't recruit it. I'm not sure if you can find it after that because I then left the palace to send calling card and then directly went into the boss fight, I think I just fused it
Are some of these personas your own created fusions? Because I certainly didn't come across most
of them in the first palace. Which begs the question: Exactly how far into the game do you consider "early"?
I suppose I might find them in the second palace, but having finished the first palace after 11 hours (I'm a completionist),
I don't feel like I'm early in the game at this point, even if I haven't completed more than, say, 10% of it.
You're sort of right, actually. Levels 1-25 should be considered early game. Anything above that is either mid or late game.
i’m playing new game and i’m at kaneshiro’s palace right now. i’m trying to get level 5 with justine and caroline confidant level to forge personas at higher levels than me then work to maxing them out to cut the costs for summoning. then i’ll probably do the money farm and get my endgame personas by the time i reach futaba’s palace.
lol im new to the series, was extremely hard at first but im getting the hang of it. i enjoy the game alot glad i picked it up and thanks for the vid! helped me out
Happy that you're enjoying both the game and my video :D
Hero 21
Justice 30
Star 30
I love your accent. You sound so cute. 😊 I really need to go pick this game back up again. Right now I'm in Kaneshiro's palace. Thanks for the video. 👍
"Debuffs are not nescessary" you clearly haven't played enough persona/smt games to let the truth sink in.
Who do I fuse with Obariyon to get lucky punch on Andras? I'm already in the second palace so did I mess it up?
damn my compendium is only 56 percent and I just beat the game this morning I was so pissed when I started a new game plus and I'm back to lvl1 I beat yaldaboeth at lvl79
I finished the game with a fairly low percentage as well, so I reloaded the save before final boss and fused everyone I could
Can you expain how to get all the skills on to shiki-ouji?
Shiisaa is a good one to get before Shiki-Ouji becomes available, as it boasts immunity to Bless, resistance to Phys *&* Gun, and weakness only to Dark. Furthermore, it also learns Rampage *and* can learn it immediately from Arcana Burst if you've hung out with Ryuji enough.
That aside, basically anything with a natural Gun immunity is fair game IMO, as there aren't any passives that provide resistance or immunity to Gun attacks (or so I've heard).
How do you figure out at what level can you attain a certain fusion persona?? I was told that I my level is too pow for a certain fuse but I don't know at which level I should go to be able to fuse it
@@Mooby_ OMG thank you! I swear Igor told me that but I totally forgotten about it. Thanks!
Your voice is bad ass
Vote for Pedro
How did you get so many skills on Ippon-Datara at only lv15? What did you fuse to get him and is resist ice from a skill card?
Oh I just randomly fused stuff, I didn't actually pay attention to what skills I was getting on Ippon-Datara. To get resist ice at that stage, I left him in to get punished in prison (I forgot what the option was called) for a few days to learn the skill.
Get punished in prison? Is that a feature i have to unlock thru the Strength confidant?
*edit* nvm thanks, didn't notice the rank 3 gives the lockdown ability.
Oh the thing is called "Lockdown" and it's unlocked at Strength confidant Rank 3
Thanks, anyways i tried the lockdown thing but got dodge fire instead of Resist ice. Are the skills obtained randomly?
I have
Andras
Birith
Silky
Onmaraki
Any one I should replace?
Does anyone know how to get Obariyon without fusing? Trying to fuse Obariyon with regent to make an arsene, but every time i fuse him he get a lot of exp cause of my rank 9 fool confidant. Can he be found in mementos? If so, where exactly??
How do I teach Andras lucky punch?
should I sell my dlc soma I'm on the 3rd palace
I think that depends on whether you think you'll use it or not. It's a nice amount of money and in my playthrough I only used 1 towards the end of the game. It might come in handy but at that point in the game there will be also many other healing options
ohka cool thanks
How to get ippon datara by fusion ?
a r a h a b a k i
How to get principality?
Shiki ouji
I did futbas palace
Anyone have a list like this for Royal?
how do I get thoth
Hold the fuck on
Early game??
I just finished Futaba and im only like lvl 35 with 60+ hours
I personally like Jack Frost. He's great for ice attack when you don't have yusuke
isnt there a way to get matador using izanagi?
Fuse Izanagi with Jack-o-Lantern or Kelpie or Jack Frost or Kusi Mitama
oh bet
good thing im still in the first dungeon
Wat personas do I fuse
There are many different ways you can do that, it's best to check this calculator and see which one you can do: chinhodado.github.io/persona5_calculator/#/persona/Thoth
Absolut Bullshit build. Fuse lvl 8 bicorn with obarion into apsaras inherit snap, lucky punch, apt pupil. Then fuse the apsaras with hua po into matador and inherit snap, lucky punch, apt pupil. At 22 Matador learns trigger happy. Faceroll opponenetswho have no weaknesses.
Tu hablas español wstoy 100% seguro tu acento es Mexicano
I am Italian, but I can understand Spanish a little
How do you make suzaku
Each Persona will have an unlimited number of fusion paths you could use, it's easier to check using this calculator: chinhodado.github.io/persona5_calculator/#/persona/Suzaku
SephiZack nvm I already found it
Oh sorry, because of timezone differences I received the message while I was asleep during the night
SephiZack oh
Which palaces are Matador and Phoenix found in
hii, i just want to ask, which country do you live??
Born and grew up in Italy, but I mostly live in the UK now
you sound tired dude 😂
I had no clue what you were saying 😂😂😂soz
This was extremely difficult to listen to :(
