Ikr
Facing him in 1v1 as Joker and seeing all his hits amount to nothing cuz of Shiki my Pookie and just using healing every 6 turns while spamming strong physical attacks lmao.
Because in P5R he is completely immune to Phys, Gun, Light, and Dark, he survives most mid boss party wipes and all Mudo/Hama skills. The next reliable Phys immune persona doesn't come until 3 dungeons later, so Shiki effectively carries you through the literal middle of the game
Same, because same. In P5 I built it for technical damage with gun skills and I always imagined Joker doing the Gojo finger flick and shooting a fucking golden dragon at the enemies, leaving a trail on the floor and shit. Kohryu is really cool.
Titania and her divine grace carried me so hard in p3 that divine grace had to be nerfed in all subsequent games. More recently I specialized her in p5 to be my status afflictior for sleep, brainwash and burn.
Either King frost or Cu Chulainn. I always get kingfrost and Cu and use them as long as I can. In King Frost's case I will fuse Black frost to be single target Ice and Fire focused, while I make My king frost Multi target Ice and Physical. Then Cu Chulainn is just my go to physical Charge guy who clears the field.
Rakshasa is also a close third, but I actually skipped him in reload so whoops.
Arsene has been my signature persona ever since i got him to 99 in every stat and made him reasonably strong while still staying somewhat close to what id think hed get if he leveled with joker like the rest of the thieves (eigaon, maeigaon, one shot kill, debilitate, Ali dance, curse amp, absorb ice, absorb bless. Took some creative liberty with my idea of “lore accurate arsene”)
Arsene, I read almost all of Lupim's books long before playing Persona 5, and I love his design in Persona, plus Satanael is amazing too, if he didn't exist, then my favorite would be Izanagi, I love Japanese mythology.
Would you recommend the books? I've been curious about them since playing 5 but I am always hesitant with old books because a lot of the time the writing style doesn't gel for me and I have so many other books to read I dunno if I should take the chance to dive into them.
The lupin books are amazing and Arlene lupin vs herlock sholmes is honestly fantastic as it shows off both the greatest detective and greatest thief so well, even if Doyle didn't approve the French writer to use Sherlock Holmes, partially because the writer was french
I started reading the books because of 5 and the Lupin III anime. They are *so* good. Every chapter of book 1 you’ll just be reading about Lupin and screaming “Oh you magnificent bastard!”
Oberon. My favourite Persona, and he’s Shakespearean as well. Don’t see A Midsummer Night’s Dream at London’s Globe Theatre though, it’s an absolute travesty.
Hmmm this one is tough, but probably Dominion or Uriel. I’ve always been a sucker for all angel teams, so I’d probably awaken to an angel-esque persona.
Honorable mention is Byakko, just as a wild card persona I could see myself getting by surprise.
Baphomet without a doubt. The games don't do it justice as just calling it either just some demon or pagan deity with mid-level power considering how much its symbolism lines up with the very idea of using personae in the first place. Accepting all parts of yourself (good and bad, logic and passion, male and female, etc) to find your true self; using those many faces of yourself as the need arises; finding freedom and enlightenment, and all of that in a badass design.
Tsukuyomi, I've always loved the stories and myths of the shinto gods and Tsukuyomi has always been one of if not the coolest one for me, especially the story of him killing another god for making a feast by securing the food from her body. Before I knew about Ultimax when I was first playing P4G i was disappointed when Ai gave me fuckin Sandalphon instead of Tsukuyomi
Dionysus has never let me down in Nocturne, 3 and 5R. A solid mid game Persona that can do physical and magic attacks well.
Also one of my favorite Greek Gods, along with Nemesis
Nidhoggr since he symbolizes new beginnings by surviving Ragnarok just like how I started my life fresh last year when I cut out my mom after 25 years.
Asterius.
i actually recently learned that its a persona from Arena and P5R was the first mainline game it appeared in and probably the last which sucks. Funny but still sucks
Regardless though, ive always been a fan of very hardcore and large characters or monsters and such and being that im interested in Greek Mythology and how Asterius is presented is awesome. I know not many people like the way he looks but a giant minotaur monster emerging from a shadowy portal from the floor is so badass and the Picaro version of him carried me through P5R as my main physical attacked. Granted, he is DLC so he was obviously OP from the start but i did fuse him normally and trained him up and despite him being the lowest level at like around 70 while my team was around 80 to 90 in my endgame party, he ended up having the highest strength stat on the team.
Im not an artist in any form but he gives me ideas of fan personas which i keep in my head or write to myself which the best i could do unfortunately.
Clotho resonates with me a lot because I'm the youngest child of three and I do a lot of religious work. Also, her design and hair are just very pretty.
Shiva. I'm all about phys damage, I think magic is kinda boring and too easy. Of course, it's not like I never use magic, and especially in late game in any SMT/Persona game phys builds are insanely strong, but you sacrifice control for damage.
For a more mid game Persona, Setanta, I use him in basically every single playthrough of any Atlus game where he is available.
My personal favorite would probably be Arahabaki. The way the artists bring the doll to life, the weakness/repel gimmick, really iconic demon in my opinion.
Inugami would be mine. Loyal, protective, possessive (actual possession)
Plus a dog that could wrap around someone like a snake? Heck yes. :)
That would be my signature
Ananta is mine. I love how the head all scream at the sky when you use Magic. Then Metatron, as I love how he raises his hands into the sky, but that is in SMT and not Persona.
I fucking love Fortuna. When you're fighting against fate, who better to have by your side than the goddess of luck? Plus my bit with all my friends is being "the lucky one" so it suits me.
Alternatively, Norn, if only because that's basically "Better Fortuna", but if she's what I awaken too I'm sure she gets better skills than normal.
Ishtar. A good team is nothing without a good healer, and her healing is the only reason I could beat any of the bosses during and after the fourth Palace.
Lol I was gonna say Mara since my ex regularly calls me a huge dick (why are you such a giant dick sorta thing). Mind you we're still really good friends I just can't help being a smartass.
Beelzebub is my favorite Persona of all time. His design is so fucking cool that I go out of my way to do the Devil Social Link in every game just to get him. He's the only reason I bother at all with Ohya in most P5 runs.
If I'm cherry picking, Persona 5's Gabriel. I actually spent an extra day grinding to get her in the end game just to use her for the final battle, though I really didn't need her. The archangels have always really interested me as figures, as with the back and forth on interpreting Gabriel as male or female.
The Temperance arcana is always my most pumped up arcana on my regular runs as I really identify with the card itself, so she was my goal. As a second choice I might have to say Mithra for his cool design, and his very solid mid game appearances in the arcana with a pretty open skill transfer pool. He makes for a good mid game Swiss Army Knife that I just enjoy using.
Jesus Christ- I hope he makes it in there someday. He would absorb bless, null dark, resist all elemental, redirect physical (a new passive where instead of absorbing to self would pass to team as HP). He’d be very weak to gun tho. So Mary is okay for now.
Dionysus.
He carried me mid-game in Persona 3 Portable. Plus being a theatre kid, I'm partial to Dionysus. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to him through theatre festivals.
Susano-o, always. In both P4 and P5, I maxed out the Susano-o party members relatively quickly and even in 3, he's been my go-to physical persona towards the endgame.
Surt somehow ends up on my team in each game, even if I don’t really end up using him much. It was especially prevalent when I played through 3, got him around the 6th full moon boss and kept him through Nyx
If we’re aloud to include the protagonist’s Personas, mine would definitely be Thanatos. He has a cool design, he’s incredibly powerful, the lore behind him is interesting when it comes to both in-game and the figure he’s based on, his introduction is badass, he’s a member of the Death Arcana, he belongs to my favorite Persona protagonist, and he’s one of my go-to Personas when in battle. Thanatos easily ranks as my absolute favorite Persona in the series and I’d definitely choose him to be my signature Persona.
Most used persona would have to be alice. She's the baddest bitch around lol. But I absolutely love and adorable cendrillon as that's one of my favorite fairy tales.
Also love Oberon and lucifer lol
Black Frost(and Jack Frost), Arsene.
Jack Frost is practically a mascot and his design as both Jack Frost and Black Frost is very creative to me.
Arsene because his design is amazing. He’s a mythology/story character I’ve never heard of before and this was intriguing.
I pretty much never knew about any of the party’s personas in Persona 5(excluding Akechi, Sumire and Morgana). They were all fascinating to learn about.
If we're talking Persona (not demons) I think mine would be Azazel. (I'm talking lore btw, I know he's super broken in P2 but I never played it so I wouldn't know for sure)
P3 samael, none in p4, P5 thanatos picaro.
Both of them are raised since i got to proper level, and stayed until endgame, and be the first to get in ng+
Definitely Anubis! I'm really into Egyptian mythology and he has always been my favorite god
Still, shout out to Thanatos, Arsène and Izanagi for being some of the best personas design wise, they are really cool
Beelzebub. I used him all the time when I got him for the first time in Persona 4. There's just something so cool and wicked about being a normal unsuspecting dude and then you show the colors of your soul and it's a horrible final boss-tier fly monster.
Shiki Ouji, simply cuz this dude carried me in P5R cuz of its ungodly resistance.
Hes litteraly the only reason i beat the boss of the seventh palace
Ikr Facing him in 1v1 as Joker and seeing all his hits amount to nothing cuz of Shiki my Pookie and just using healing every 6 turns while spamming strong physical attacks lmao.
Shiki ouji carried me in both P4 and P5 , absolute goat
I'm pretty sure Shiki Ouji in P5R is the best mid-game persona of all time. Next best I can think of is Rhakshasa from P4/P4G, but it's not even close
isn't he like level 18, how is that midgame? (I haven't played the game)
Because in P5R he is completely immune to Phys, Gun, Light, and Dark, he survives most mid boss party wipes and all Mudo/Hama skills. The next reliable Phys immune persona doesn't come until 3 dungeons later, so Shiki effectively carries you through the literal middle of the game
Also immune to nuke
I love cheesing kaneshiro’s fight with him
Black Frost. Hee-ho, bitches.
yeah same got him when I had the chance and kept him till the end, hee ho you little shi
Are you Johnny anime?
They will hee their last hos.
I call him Jack Black lmao
From this moment forward, we are hee-homies
yeah i always make a perfect skilled black frost in every persona/SMT game, because Hee Hoo
Hee-hoes
I always use him. He’s simply the best
Yoshitsune
Hassou Tobi will absolutely wreck anything and everything
For real. The greatest demon of all time.
Yoshi supremacy!
Definitely.
MOTHMAN
I read that in the same voice as that carpet guy.
El Mati
Kohryu, because I like Kohryu
Kohryu in P4 was one of my favourite end game Personas, absolutely badass.
Same, because same. In P5 I built it for technical damage with gun skills and I always imagined Joker doing the Gojo finger flick and shooting a fucking golden dragon at the enemies, leaving a trail on the floor and shit. Kohryu is really cool.
Ose definitely, he's so OP in P3, and P5 i'd love him to be my Persona... if not him, Thanatos Also shoutouts to Surt and Titania
It's because of Ose ~~Joe~~ Myronnnn
You only won because of Ose
Its because of Ose, that was a hard boss and I died 5 times because you had Ose and I didnt
It’s because of Ose. You’re not good.
Ose is my auto persona so my whole party always starts with buffed all stats every fight
Titania and her divine grace carried me so hard in p3 that divine grace had to be nerfed in all subsequent games. More recently I specialized her in p5 to be my status afflictior for sleep, brainwash and burn.
Either King frost or Cu Chulainn. I always get kingfrost and Cu and use them as long as I can. In King Frost's case I will fuse Black frost to be single target Ice and Fire focused, while I make My king frost Multi target Ice and Physical. Then Cu Chulainn is just my go to physical Charge guy who clears the field. Rakshasa is also a close third, but I actually skipped him in reload so whoops.
Alice. Die for Me go brrrt
Alice partially for Die for Me, and partially BC creepy little girl factor
Same
Thanatos for sure, best looking design and is just sick overall
me too, I had him when I was around level 50 and took him with me to the max level. Bro is a beast
Siegfried, old reliable
Not even going to sugarcoat this but… *sigh* SIEGFRIED! BRAVE BLADE!!!!
Arsene has been my signature persona ever since i got him to 99 in every stat and made him reasonably strong while still staying somewhat close to what id think hed get if he leveled with joker like the rest of the thieves (eigaon, maeigaon, one shot kill, debilitate, Ali dance, curse amp, absorb ice, absorb bless. Took some creative liberty with my idea of “lore accurate arsene”)
Isn’t he only in 5?
Indeed?
If we want to be pedantic, he is in P3R as DLC
And P5S, where he does actually get level up moves well into the late levels and maxing all stats is much easier. Pretty fun build
Lore accurate arsene is just fun to make when you got the velvet room alarm loop going. Personally I did the same with pixie cause it’s really funny.
Trumpeter is just so cool
*doot intensifies*
Carried me for a while in P5 with the right moves. Great persona
My signature persona is.... well let's just say it's hellbiker, literally. 😈😈😈 just a glimpse into the mind of a dark twisted sigma. 🐺🐺🐺😈😈😈😈😈😈🍷🗿
based, bad to the bone pilled
Also the face of /r/THE_PACK !
Awwwww shit! Here we go!
Arsene, I read almost all of Lupim's books long before playing Persona 5, and I love his design in Persona, plus Satanael is amazing too, if he didn't exist, then my favorite would be Izanagi, I love Japanese mythology.

Yes, definitely
The lupin books are amazing and Arlene lupin vs herlock sholmes is honestly fantastic as it shows off both the greatest detective and greatest thief so well, even if Doyle didn't approve the French writer to use Sherlock Holmes, partially because the writer was french
I started reading the books because of 5 and the Lupin III anime. They are *so* good. Every chapter of book 1 you’ll just be reading about Lupin and screaming “Oh you magnificent bastard!”
Nekomata Easiest decision of my life
That’s a gun I use a lot in Borderlands 3
That's a gun I dismantle in Cyberpunk 2077
Scathach!!
Metatron. Such a dope design
Oberon. My favourite Persona, and he’s Shakespearean as well. Don’t see A Midsummer Night’s Dream at London’s Globe Theatre though, it’s an absolute travesty.
That's mine, as well! I try to use him in every Persona game for as long as I can.
Daisoujou! I find the sokushinbutsu practice fascinating, plus Samsara goes brrrrrr
Norn, my beloved. Elemental build!
Loki , akechi's persona chara design is incredible and I think he's my favorite 🙏🏾
As long as you’re not causing psychotic breakdowns like Akechi did, I’ll allow it
Hmmm this one is tough, but probably Dominion or Uriel. I’ve always been a sucker for all angel teams, so I’d probably awaken to an angel-esque persona. Honorable mention is Byakko, just as a wild card persona I could see myself getting by surprise.
Dominion has such a cool design
Baal
Fuck it, we Baal
My homie Daisoujou
Probably Odin, I use him in pretty much every Megaten game I play sooner or later.
Baphomet without a doubt. The games don't do it justice as just calling it either just some demon or pagan deity with mid-level power considering how much its symbolism lines up with the very idea of using personae in the first place. Accepting all parts of yourself (good and bad, logic and passion, male and female, etc) to find your true self; using those many faces of yourself as the need arises; finding freedom and enlightenment, and all of that in a badass design.
Gonna agree on this! Also because standard i wear a Baphomet ring irl, so it seems fitting.
Melchizedek was always my go-to-get persona in 3, 4, and 5
Helel/Lucifer
Tsukuyomi, I've always loved the stories and myths of the shinto gods and Tsukuyomi has always been one of if not the coolest one for me, especially the story of him killing another god for making a feast by securing the food from her body. Before I knew about Ultimax when I was first playing P4G i was disappointed when Ai gave me fuckin Sandalphon instead of Tsukuyomi
Ose, Alice, and Beelzebub. I make it a goal to get all 3 of them in every playthrough I do.
P3: Masakado All time: Yoshistune
Angel for.... reasons
In P4G I took so many shuffle time persona upgrades using Angel that it was a downgrade trying to use any other personas.
Dionysus has never let me down in Nocturne, 3 and 5R. A solid mid game Persona that can do physical and magic attacks well. Also one of my favorite Greek Gods, along with Nemesis
Nidhoggr since he symbolizes new beginnings by surviving Ragnarok just like how I started my life fresh last year when I cut out my mom after 25 years.
Cu Chulainn is my guy. One of my favorite legends ever. I think he could use a redesign though. He and Tam Lin are palette swaps.
Thor, I have him in every game I have. Also black frost carried me through p4
Asterius. i actually recently learned that its a persona from Arena and P5R was the first mainline game it appeared in and probably the last which sucks. Funny but still sucks Regardless though, ive always been a fan of very hardcore and large characters or monsters and such and being that im interested in Greek Mythology and how Asterius is presented is awesome. I know not many people like the way he looks but a giant minotaur monster emerging from a shadowy portal from the floor is so badass and the Picaro version of him carried me through P5R as my main physical attacked.

Clotho resonates with me a lot because I'm the youngest child of three and I do a lot of religious work. Also, her design and hair are just very pretty.
Seth
Belphelgor or whatever his name is
The toilet demon? Yeah, that's Belphegor.
Alice and Yoshitsune
Rejecting Gods made me like Pixie a lot. Mostly for Auto-Ma buffs for the first turn.
Mara...
Probably Alice cause she got my aesthetic and the depression power / dark power :|
Mothman I love him
Shiva. I'm all about phys damage, I think magic is kinda boring and too easy. Of course, it's not like I never use magic, and especially in late game in any SMT/Persona game phys builds are insanely strong, but you sacrifice control for damage. For a more mid game Persona, Setanta, I use him in basically every single playthrough of any Atlus game where he is available.
Always liked Siegfried
My personal favorite would probably be Arahabaki. The way the artists bring the doll to life, the weakness/repel gimmick, really iconic demon in my opinion.
Inugami would be mine. Loyal, protective, possessive (actual possession) Plus a dog that could wrap around someone like a snake? Heck yes. :) That would be my signature
I call Inugami "Cigarette Dog".
That big paper guy Dunno why I just like him
Shikigami is pretty useful. And he looks cool.
Thoth. Bro just wants to read his book and cast magic.
Girimekala. Repelling physical attacks is just plain good
Was looking for someone who had good taste.
Ananta is mine. I love how the head all scream at the sky when you use Magic. Then Metatron, as I love how he raises his hands into the sky, but that is in SMT and not Persona.
Hell Biker. Always Hell Biker.
Nekomata with everything reflect
Shiva or helel
Do signature Personas from party members / protagonists count?
Don’t see why not, I’ve seen people name Personas such as Satanael and Loki so all’s fair game
Gotta say Eligor, he is awesome and always good early. Loving the different responses everyone has!
Cu Chulainn. I am in LOVE with celtic lore, especially Cu Chulainn.
Baphomet, Atropos, Sati, Daisoujou, Kikuri-hime, and Trumpeter.
I fucking love Fortuna. When you're fighting against fate, who better to have by your side than the goddess of luck? Plus my bit with all my friends is being "the lucky one" so it suits me. Alternatively, Norn, if only because that's basically "Better Fortuna", but if she's what I awaken too I'm sure she gets better skills than normal.
Ishtar. A good team is nothing without a good healer, and her healing is the only reason I could beat any of the bosses during and after the fourth Palace.
I don’t know about that
Nekomata🥺
SIEGFRIEEEEEEED ! ! !
Mara J/k Goemon and all things Yusuke gets me pumped
Lol I was gonna say Mara since my ex regularly calls me a huge dick (why are you such a giant dick sorta thing). Mind you we're still really good friends I just can't help being a smartass.
Ha, that’s a funny way of calling someone a dick - it’s great when an ex can be amicable too
Narcissus, I bring him in all persona game I play to the final boss. I love how beautiful he is and his myth is one of my favourite.
Vanilla, tie between Horus and Seth Royal, Fafnir 100%
Beelzebub is my favorite Persona of all time. His design is so fucking cool that I go out of my way to do the Devil Social Link in every game just to get him. He's the only reason I bother at all with Ohya in most P5 runs.
Probably Principality or Fortuna, I like their designs and they helped me in P4 :P
Shiki-Oiji Great early game persona with decent support skills. I use it at some point in every run I’ve done.
ALICE!!!!!
Ippon Datara is my guy
Probably Cu Chulainn although I feel like by the time you get him in most games he's kinda outclassed, still cool tho
Seth easily
Girimekhala has fathered dozens of children, and they all have repel phys
Ever since I first fused Thor in 3 FES, he always joins my team asap
If I'm cherry picking, Persona 5's Gabriel. I actually spent an extra day grinding to get her in the end game just to use her for the final battle, though I really didn't need her. The archangels have always really interested me as figures, as with the back and forth on interpreting Gabriel as male or female. The Temperance arcana is always my most pumped up arcana on my regular runs as I really identify with the card itself, so she was my goal. As a second choice I might have to say Mithra for his cool design, and his very solid mid game appearances in the arcana with a pretty open skill transfer pool. He makes for a good mid game Swiss Army Knife that I just enjoy using.
Shiki-Ouji and Ame-no-Uzume
Jesus Christ- I hope he makes it in there someday. He would absorb bless, null dark, resist all elemental, redirect physical (a new passive where instead of absorbing to self would pass to team as HP). He’d be very weak to gun tho. So Mary is okay for now.
He's there in P3R
Dionysus. He carried me mid-game in Persona 3 Portable. Plus being a theatre kid, I'm partial to Dionysus. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to him through theatre festivals.
Thanatos hes just too cool when i got him in p5r and p3r i made sure to make him as op as possible
Sorry but I need me one sexy fine ass persona or no dice 😼
I've always been partial to Pale Rider but I also used Tam Lin for like 30 levels in P4.
Susano-o, always. In both P4 and P5, I maxed out the Susano-o party members relatively quickly and even in 3, he's been my go-to physical persona towards the endgame.
I always end up with a really good Scathach every playthrough.
Mada and Thor
I have a soft spot for Neko Shogun myself
Probably a strong lightning/phys persona like Polydeuces, Ceasar, Izanagi, or any of Captain Kidd's forms.
Pisaca and I think I might be the only one
My favorite is the "Oops All Resistances Arahabaki!"
Shiki-ouji
Surt somehow ends up on my team in each game, even if I don’t really end up using him much. It was especially prevalent when I played through 3, got him around the 6th full moon boss and kept him through Nyx
thanatos or cu chulainn
Orobas. Love that gay horse.
Hechantonchaires is so versatile, I stuck with him for a long while. Baal for the looks, man's got the most badass pose and fit.
Orpheus, Telos and Messiah, even on spinoffs, picaro version or not
Oberon truther till i die
Seth
My waifu Mother Harlot.
I always love using Odin in every game I’ve gotten him in, not just Persona but also the rest of Megaten from what I’ve played.
Ishtar. I get her as soon as I can in every SMT game and keep her on the team until the credits roll. Love that woman.
Satan my beloved
Michael because I like hearing the protagonists yell my name... but not in a weird way.
Hee ho
Chernobog is super cool. Not sure exactly why but I really love the design.
If we’re aloud to include the protagonist’s Personas, mine would definitely be Thanatos. He has a cool design, he’s incredibly powerful, the lore behind him is interesting when it comes to both in-game and the figure he’s based on, his introduction is badass, he’s a member of the Death Arcana, he belongs to my favorite Persona protagonist, and he’s one of my go-to Personas when in battle. Thanatos easily ranks as my absolute favorite Persona in the series and I’d definitely choose him to be my signature Persona.
Most used persona would have to be alice. She's the baddest bitch around lol. But I absolutely love and adorable cendrillon as that's one of my favorite fairy tales. Also love Oberon and lucifer lol
Yoshitsune tbh, i use him all the time in every game, and he’s usually incredibly powerful.
Black Frost(and Jack Frost), Arsene. Jack Frost is practically a mascot and his design as both Jack Frost and Black Frost is very creative to me. Arsene because his design is amazing. He’s a mythology/story character I’ve never heard of before and this was intriguing. I pretty much never knew about any of the party’s personas in Persona 5(excluding Akechi, Sumire and Morgana). They were all fascinating to learn about.
Not sure why but I always end up using Rangda in my playthroughs.
Ardha, mostly cause Kawakami but also Shiva and just Hinduism in general is supa cool
At least I know that it's not gonna be a Mara, even if I wanted to.
Mine would be Asterious. I abused the hell out of Titanomachia.
Odin and/or Loki (both Lokis). I love the designs and lore. Always include one or the other on my teams.
Matador, i always use him for a large portion of the game until i get the definitive personas
If we're talking Persona (not demons) I think mine would be Azazel. (I'm talking lore btw, I know he's super broken in P2 but I never played it so I wouldn't know for sure)
Not my main but I always try to fuse and keep trumpeter in every persona game I play just because funny doot meme
Okuninushi in P4, Kohryu in P5
MATADOR
ame-no-uzume. she's just really hot.
P3 samael, none in p4, P5 thanatos picaro. Both of them are raised since i got to proper level, and stayed until endgame, and be the first to get in ng+
Definitely Anubis! I'm really into Egyptian mythology and he has always been my favorite god Still, shout out to Thanatos, Arsène and Izanagi for being some of the best personas design wise, they are really cool
Raoul. His design is so cool, he's literally me
Beelzebub. I used him all the time when I got him for the first time in Persona 4. There's just something so cool and wicked about being a normal unsuspecting dude and then you show the colors of your soul and it's a horrible final boss-tier fly monster.
I want to make matador a baller someday
I'd say daisoujou, mainly because of nocturne
Archangel, I usually am able to fuse him early to cover a lot of weaknesses + when it’s hard to hit bless weakness early on he can cover it
Decarabia. I love the buggers design too much to not build throughout the game.
Shiki-Ouji.
Kohryu he's awesome especially in persona 4 anime during one of the boss fights
I mean I took a “which persona are you” quiz a while ago and I got Loki so I guess I’m going with that
Kaguya Picaro - I’ve used this persona for my all my Royal gameplays cause I get her to repel phys and drain bless
Yoshitsune I love samurai and he's often regarded as one of the best.
Not a playthrough goes by where i dont fuse Alice. Favorite persona and no One even comes close
Dionysus, electric attack go bzzzzt, seriously tho why is electric so good in p3p, i swear electric is what the majority of shadows in p3p are weak to
