Which Party Members Should You Use For Each Palace In Persona 5 Royal?

• Electric Magic
• Physical Damage

You’ll definitely find Shadows ahead that are weak to Ryuji’s Electric skills, but his main strength here will be using Physical attacks to save on SP whenever you need to conserve.

• Fire Magic
• Healing
• Support

Ann fills the role of your primary supportfor this Palace, with her ability to debuff Shadows playing critical roles in later boss battles. You’ll find Shadows who are weak to the Fire magic she uses, too.

• Wind Magic
• Healing
• Support

Before unlocking your new teammate, Morgana is your default final teammate for the first half of Madarame’s Museum. He’s got the same powerful Wind magic to use when applicable.

• Ice Magic
• Physical Damage
• Support

Once you unlock Yusuke, you’ll gain access to his potentIce attacks, which bring with them the power to potentially inflict Freezeto stop the enemy for a turn or two. There are plenty of Shadows in the back half of the Palace weak to Ice, so come prepared. He deals pretty solid Physical Damage as well and can offer some support by buffing your Agility as well.

Magician

Before you bring Yusuke into the party, Jack Frost provides your Ice coverage with Bufu and Mabufualike, gaining Freeze Boost as well to help inflict Freeze.

Fool

Once Yusuke has joined, Morgana’s Wind skills are gone, so it’s up to Joker to recover from them for the boss fight. High Pixie knows Garu (as well as a slew of healing and status effect moves), and will gain Magaru a little later at level 22.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing

Like you experienced once Yusuke joined up in the last Palace, plenty of the enemies are weak to Nuclearin Kaneshiro’s Palace. Not only does this hit well on its own, but when paired with Ann or a FirePersona for Joker, you can compound your damage output by dealing more Nucleardamage to BurnedShadows. She’s got good Physical Damage output as well, if she’s low on SP, and she can handle some healing for the team as well.

• Fire Magic
• Healing
• Support

As with the last Palace, you’ll find that Ann deals good Firedamage, especially as she begins to level into the mid-tier Agi-skills. She’s also still great for support with her debuffs, should you need, but keep her inflicting Burnon Shadows to allow Makoto to follow up for an extra punch. She can heal the team in a pinch, too!

• Electric Magic
• Physical Damage

Again, Ryuji deals good Electricdamage to Shadows, also leveling up into mid-level Zio skills. His Physical Damage is a good way to conserve SP and let the ladies work on their status buffs, but he’ll also stand a chance to inflict Shock.

Moon

Without Yusuke in the party, you’ll want to use Sui-Ki with Mabufu and Bufula to deal good Ice magic if needed.

Star

Using Joker’s Persona stock to fill gaps is always a good idea, so have Fuu-Ki around to use Garula and Magarula for medium-level Wind damage. It’s also got Tarukaja and Tetra Break for support.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Support

You’ll still find a good number of Shadows weak to Nuclearhere, so Makoto is a good choice for that alone. She’s also got good Physical Damage should she run low on SP during longer runs, the ability to inflict Confuseto bring Shadows to your side on the battlefield, buff moves to help with the team’s Defense that she’ll be gaining as she levels up to earn some support abilities, and Dekunda to remove any and all stat debuffs from the team.

• Ice Magic
• Physical Damage
• Support

Prepare for plenty of Shadows weak to Ice, which makes Yusuke pretty indispensible if you’re not having Joker fill with an Ice Persona. Yusuke also offers Agility buffs – he likely has Auto-Sukukajaby now to boost his own Agility automatically – and increasingly impressive Physical Damage.

• Fire Magic
• Healing
• Support

You’re going to need healing and support in a Palace as long and tricky as Futaba’s, so Ann helps in that regard. She’s likely to have Diarama before the end of the Palace, so make use of this party-wide healing when needed. She makes a better healer than Morgana here, though, since her Agi skills have a higher chance to inflict Burnnow, which you can follow up on with Nuclearusing Makoto’s move set for double efficacy, or even just Lullaby to put Shadows to sleep for a few turns.

Hermit

You’re likely light on Wind magic yourself at this level, but Kurama Tengu knows Magarula for medium Wind damage to all foes, compounded with Wind Boost to deal 1.25 times damage.

Sun

If the name didn’t give it away, you’ll be using this Persona for Electric damage, with access to Mazionga early on (with Ziodyne and Maziodynecoming later, along with Elec Boost to compound them all).

Justice

Should you need some extra Healing or Support, Principality is the best choice for this level.

• Psio Magic
• Physical Damage

Like plenty of Palaces before her fathers, you’ll find ample use for Haru’s Psioskills here, with plenty of Shadows weak to her move set. Additionally, she’s got a grenade launcher as her default attack, which doesn’t consume her HP or SP to use to inflict multi-target Physical Damageif you’re in need of some conservation.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing
• Support

Again, Makoto’s Nuclearskills will take center stage pretty often here, especially if she acquires Nuke Break to negate weaknesses to Nuclear to really double down if needed. She’s got Auto-Rakukaja now for a free and immediate Defense boost, goodPhysical Damage moves for if her SP runs low, and Mediarama to help heal the party (and recover HP if you’re using her Phys moves instead).

• Wind Magic
• Healing
• Support

Mona steps back into a healing role here again, having gained Mediarama earlier at level 34. He’s on the medium-damage Wind skills now, with Wind Boost at level 43 to improve this damage output if he reaches our recommended level before or during your infiltration.

Fortune

There’s a lot of good damage to be done with Atropos, with Ziodynethis early in the game on top of Mazionga for multi-target situations. It’ll likely also have Elec Boost to deal more damage, and Elec Break to make enemies susceptible to Electric damage if they’re not already.

Tower

Another Persona with a heavy single-target attack and a mid-level multi-target one, Belphegor will know Mabufula innately and can learn Bufudyneat level 41. It’s also got Dodge Fire to help negate its Fire weakness.

Councillor

You’ll need to level Decarabia up a bit to make it viable in Okumura’s Spaceport, but it’s got Agilao and Agidyne to go with Makoto’s Nuclear magic, as well as Megidola for early access to an Almighty skill.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing
• Support

Though you won’t likely find too many Shadows here directly weak to her skills, using her recently-upgraded Freidyne skill boosted with Nuke Boost to compound damage on BurnedShadows makes her indispensible in her sister’s Casino dungeon. She’s also got Marakukaja at this level, if you’d like to apply her Auto-Rakukaja to the whole party for better Defense in tougher fights.

• Fire Magic
• Healing
• Support

Getting both Agidyne and Burn Boost into Ann’s move set before this dungeon makes her a powerful Firemagic damage-dealing machine! She’ll have Fire Boost by now, too, to compound the damage on her own, which you can follow up with Makoto’s Nuclearskills to really pack a punch. Matarunda will help your enemies’ attacks not hit as hard with an Attack decrease for the opposing team, and her healing skills will be relevant throughout if you don’t have items to do the job for you.

• Light Magic
• Dark Magic
• Almighty Damage
• Physical Damage

Akechi covers quite a few bases that you haven’t needed to cover very much before. Here, if the Shadows aren’t weak to his Blessskills, they’ll almost certainly be weak to the Dark skills Akechi has as well, both the damage-dealing skills and the insta-kill spells like Hamaonand Mudoon. He deals great Physical Damage if he’s low on SP, and he has few weaknesses of his own for Shadows to exploit. He can even use Megidola to dole out Almighty damage that can’t be blocked.

Star

You’re going to want access to Wind magic in Joker’s stock of Personas, and having Garuda gives you access to the single-target Garudyne and multi-target Magarudyne to achieve it.

Fortune

While you do double up a bit with more access to Garudyne here, too, we brought Norn for the access to Ziodyne combined with healing abilities.

Priestess

With Ann being the only support character in the team, it’s not a bad idea to give her some backup with Sarasvati.

• Psio Magic
• Physical Damage

You’ll once again find Haru’s skills going a long way in this lengthy Palace, with Psiodyne and Psy Boost in your repertoire and Mapsiodyne waiting just ahead at level 64. She’s also gaining access to One-Shot Kill to deal severe Gun Damage, in addition to her multi-shot default grenade attacks. You’ll face a lot of Shadows weak to Physical Damage here, so she’s a good pick.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing
• Support

Another teammate whose Physical Damage output is a highlight, Makoto is a great choice for Shido’s Palace. She’ll have Mafreidyne now for heavy Nuclear damage, in addition to Diarahan for increased healing capabilities, and the help from Dekunda will always be invaluable.

• Electric Magic
• Physical Damage
• Support

One of your stronger attackers, Ryuji has a slew of powerful Physical and Gun damage skills that cost HP instead of SP available in his move set full of increasingly powerful Electric skills. Chargewill make your next Physical Damage move do 2.5 times the damage, so use it liberally on Shadows weak to Physical damage. Finally, double down on the party’s Attack for a few turns with Matarukaja for help dealing better damage in tougher fights.

Devil

While they’re only the single-target iterations, Baphomet has Agidyneand Bufudyne to deal heavy Fire and Ice damage, respectively. It can also learn Freeze Boost to improve the chance of Freezingan enemy with Bufudyne, as well as innately knowing Burn Boost for the same with Burn.

Councilllor

To double down on your Ice output, bring Seiryu for Bufudyne and Mabufudyne.

Hanged Man

With both Agidyne and Maragidyne for heavy Fire damage to double down on that, you can also use the combination of Evil Smile to inflict Fear and then auto-kill any Shadow inflicted with Fear using Ghastly Wail.

Tower

Black Rider grants your team access to Almighty magic without Akechi in the team now, as well as Maeigaon to deal potent Curse damage and Mamudoon for a chance to insta-kill everyone on the opposing side with Curse magic.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing
• Support

Makoto has some incredibly potent Nuclearskills at her max level in Persona 5 Royal, both bolstered by Nuke Amp to ensure she’s dealing 1.5 times damage when using Freidyne and Mafreidyne in the tunnels ahead, especially stacking with Ann’s top-level move set. She can use helpful healing skills and supportabilities to keep the party going in battle, too.

• Fire Magic
• Healing
• Support

If you’re following our level recommendations, you’ll have access to all of Ann’s moves, which includes Blazing Hell to deal severe Fire damage to all foes with a chance to inflict Burn, bolstered greatly by Fire Amp at level 68. She’ll have Diarahan by now to heal an ally to full health, as well as a slew of support skills to help the party.

• Ice Magic
• Physical Damage
• Support

Any Shadows weak toPhysical Damage in this section of the game are no match for Yusuke, who comes into the dungeon with both Vorpal Blade for severe Physical damage to all foes and Brave Blade to deal a staggering Colossal Physical Damage to a single target. His Bufudyne and Mabufudyne are the heaviest Ice damage skills he’ll get, but with High Counterto counter one in five shots he takes and a slew of support skills for the party, he’ll help greatly down here in the Depths.

Judgement

If you need to double down on Physical Damage output, Megaton Raidis a great skill to bring into the fight.

Devil

Without Haru in the party, Nebiros is a good choice for Psio skills, using Mapsiodyne to deal potent damage. It’ll also have two chances to inflict Brainwashonto Shadows.

Sun

This is one of your best Wind Personas for the moment, access to heavy-level single and multi-target wind skills in Garudyne and Magarudyne.

Councillor

You’ve got acecss to Ziodyne and Maziodyne with Dionysus, as well as a few support skills to boot.

• Light Magic
• Dark Magic
• Almighty Damage
• Physical Damage
• Support
• Healing

While Akechi’s real perks here lie in his Lightand Dark skills alike, he’s only got the single-target versions of the heaviest skills in these families, Kougaonand Eigaon. He’s still got Almightymagic, too, having upgraded to Megidolaon to deal severe damage that cannot be blocked. His Physical Damage output is pretty good, too, but he’ll also have Debilitate to decrease a Shadow’s Attack, Defense, and Agility for three turns to double down on his damage. Finally, Samerecarm is a good move for when you need to revive fallen teammates and don’t have the items to do so.

• Light Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing
• Support

While both she and Akechi have access to Light skills, Sumire has superior Blessskills than Akechi if you need to divide and conquer a bit, with Makougaon to deal heavy Bless damage, especially having Bless Amp in her kit. Her Physical Damage output is nothing to sneeze at, either, and with Brave Step to increase your crit rate, Sumire is a must. Use her healing skills when needed to supplement the team.

• Nuclear Magic
• Physical Damage
• Healing
• Support

While the other two focus on damage, Makoto takes a more supportive role here with her party-wide buffsand debuffs, as well as her healing capabilities. She’s got excellent Nuclear skills by now, especially if she went to the Depths of Mementos with you like we suggested, which you can double down on if Joker is using a FirePersona, to ensure she follows up with Nuclearskills on BurnedShadows.

Tower

One of the more powerful Fire Personas in the Compendium in Persona 5 Royal, you’ll have access to Inferno for powerful Fire output to one foe and Blazing Hell to hit them all instead, which Makoto can double down on should you inflict Burn(which is made easier with Burn Boost).

Judgement

With Diamond Dust for some staggering Ice damage to one Shadow andIce Age for the same on a group, Satan is a good choice for your Ice coverage.

Lovers

If you’d like a good healer for Joker, Ishtar is one of the most powerful, with access to Salvation and Mediarahan to heal, as well asSamerecarmto revive.
