All Persona 5 Tactica Playable Characters

Erina:

  • The Persona-less, Premiering Protagonist
  • Erina's Character Card from Persona 5 Tactica in which she poses with a spear and a handgun.
  • Erina (Elle in the Japanese version) is P5T’s newest arrival, introducing players to the game mechanics. She has decent base stats, especially in attack damage, but poor movement and low range. Unable to summon a Persona, she relies on others to create openings.

Haru:

  • And Milady
  • A close-up of Haru wearing a hat and looking angry in the Persona 5 animation.
  • Haru, known for her high-damage rocket launcher and psychic-type Persona Milady, inflicts severe punishment in Persona 5 Tactica's gun-focused gameplay. Milady's Psio skills, while situationally useful, may not be as versatile as some other Personas.

Morgana:

  • And Zorro
  • Morgana scampers flanked by his Persona Zorro in a screenshot from Persona 5 Tactica.
  • Morgana serves as a mascot with exceptional speed in Tactica. His gun and wind-elemental damage, along with Garu skills, provide situational advantages, especially in positional play.

Joker:

  • And Arsene
  • Joker, the original protagonist of Persona 5, can equip a second Sub-Persona in Persona 5 Tactica. While no longer a wild card, Joker's base stats and long-range special attack, Phantom Judge, make him a powerful ally. P5T turns Joker into more of a support character with defense-raising skills like Rakukaja.

Yusuke:

  • And Goemon
  • Persona 5 Yusuke
  • Yusuke's gun skills and ice-elemental Bufu skills make him one of the best characters in P5T. His skills have the potential to freeze enemies, lowering their movement speed and creating strategic advantages.

Ryuji:

  • And Captain Kidd
  • Persona 5 Royal Ryuji
  • Ryuji's sheer physical damage and shotgun specialization in Persona 5 Tactica make him a top character. His special move, Brigantine Blitzkrieg, stops enemy movement, creating opportunities for teammates.

Makoto:

  • And Johanna
  • Makoto aboard her Persona, the sentient motorcycle Johanna, in a screenshot from Persona 5 Tactica.
  • Makoto excels in melee-focused combat in P5T, with a special AoE attack called Full Throttle. She serves as a formidable damage dealer and a support character with healing skills.

Ann:

  • And Carmen
  • Ann's Persona skill damage makes her the best playable character in Persona 5 Tactica. Carmen's fire-elemental abilities and Ann's access to buffs and a passive bonus for SP regeneration make her indispensable in any fight.

Using these abilities costs Skill Points. Similar to Persona 5, these skills use different types of magic attacks. If you hit an enemy's weakness, you get another turn to attack. There's also a special move called "Triple Threat" that deals big damage to weakened enemies when surrounded by your allies.

Apart from fighting, you can collect more Personas for Joker, the leader. He can use many Personas due to his "Wild Card" ability. You can get new Personas by talking to them in battle or fusing different ones together. The game's story happens across three kingdoms, each inspired by real historical revolutions.
