Sophia’s is better but Makoto is good to have in a pinch.Yes, Persona 5 Strikers is, thankfully, very much a new Persona 5 game, but of course one obvious crucial change is the combat. For tough Jails, I wouldn’t just rely on her healing. Joanna is great for any party composition because of her increased Technical damage against Shock, Freeze or Burn inflicted enemies. Of course, when Nuclear attacks are resisted you can switch her out, but for most of the game, Makoto can be a vital part of your team. While her simultaneous ability to buff your party’s defence and heal them in a pinch makes her a double threat. Her Joanna Persona deals a great deal of Nuclear and Physical damage. Makoto is a high-damage savage nuking everything in sight. And her issues with her elder sister were successfully ironed out. Her strict and serious attitude from last year has been mellowed. She is currently a law student aiming to work in the police. Makoto Niijima – Queenįormer student council president of Shujin Academy.

Sophia is extremely versatile because of her both attacking and healing contributions and is a vital member of any team. But stick at it and you’ll get used to them in time. Her yo-yo attack patterns however are a little tough to get the hang of. Not just a pure support though, robot girl can hold her own in a fight with some incredible attacks that tackle large waves of enemies. Sophia offers strong Bless damage and combines her abilities with strong healing and support skills. Yaaaassss for double Yo-Yos! Sophia is a new face to the Phantom Thieves team and has one of the best support kits in the game. She joins the Phantom Thieves in their investigation. She has no memories of herself and only remembers that she is humanity’s friend. He’s more of a physical damaging team member and can be used as an all-rounder for whatever Jail. He can even buff your squad’s attack, defence, and crit-rate. Wolf lets you hit hard with Almighty and Gun damage, and is a great choice in many situations given how Almighty damage isn’t resisted by anyone. While the downside of self-damage is balanced out with his health draining abilities. That makes him a fantastic damage-dealer in your party, just watch out for the cost to his health.Īctivating Wolf’s Fury offers him huge amounts of damage and range. Joining the Phantom Thieves midway through the game, Zenkichi has a load of extremely powerful abilities. He’s the investigator in charge of looking into the mysterious conversion cases that occur in various parts of Japan. Zenkichi Hasegawa – WolfĪ member of the Kyoto Prefectural Police. He has it all and should is a staple to any squad. He’s got such a wide range of potential abilities, from pure brutal damage to support, buffing, and healing. Joker gives you the option to use all kinds of Persona affinities, which will always give you a way out of a sticky situation. Not to mention he has high attack speed and a wide range of attack. If you’re not going to swap out anyone it’s got to be him because unlike the characters he’s got a lot of utility. Joker, or whatever your playable character’s given name is, is the best character in Persona 5 Strikers. Who join him in investigating the new mysterious cases that occur around Japan. He returns to Tokyo during his summer vacation and reunites with his former teammates. Joker (duh)īeneath his quiet demeanour is a strong-willed Wild Card that leads the Phantom Thieves. So take that Phantom Thief with you into that Jail. If the Monarchs have a special relationship with one of the team, they’re going to be weak to their element. You’ll also need to swap in members on the team that have stronger attack affinities and Persona elemental types for the Jails you’re facing. This doesn’t mean support characters cannot hold their own, just that their primary purpose is to keep your team alive. Support is for healing or buffing and damage well is self-explanatory. Additionally, we’ve separated the Phantom Thieves into support and damage roles. For example in the third Jail, Haru’s psychic abilities are strong against the enemies there. Some Jails work better for different members. Assembling the “best party” in Persona 5 Strikers isn’t a one fit all moment.
