If you want to really succeed in Persona 5 Tactica, you’re going to need to get to grips with its Personas feature. I found this tricky initially, as it works a little differently from similar games I’ve played.
Persona 5 Tactica quickly introduces you to the idea of Personas, which add secondary skills to the main skill you gain from GPs, making yourfavorite characterseven more powerful. However, the system isn’t thoroughly explained and there are some elements that are easy to miss.
How to use Personas in Persona 5 Tactica
It is worthreevaluating your Personasoptions every time you gain new personas, which is usuallyafter a mission. There are lots of ways to check out your currently equipped Personas:

How to Fuse a New Persona in P5T
To fuse a new Persona in Persona 5 Tactica, go to the V.Room and select the top option on the list. Note youcan get to this menufrompre-mission and quest screensas well as your hideout. I always check I have the best options before a fight!
When you fuse a new Persona, you willsacrifice two Personas you haveto create a new one. They’ll be gone, but a better one will appear in its place. Don’t worry, there is a way to get back the old Personas you’ve sacrificed as long as they’ve been registered (see below).
Don’t worry about any warning that pops up(e.g. “This Persona is equipped to a character”). You can get all the way to the skill Inheritance page and if you don’t like what you see, you can just click back and start again.
The first time you get a Persona from a mission, it won’t have any inherited skills. When you Fuse two, you’ll inherit one skill from one of the base Personas. These are invariably worth having, sotry to always equip Fused personasrather than base ones.

Should you always Fuse new Personas?
Basically, no, you should not always Fuse new Personas. Remember you can only create Personas up to your own level, but you can be offered ones that are higher.You can look at what a higher-level Persona will give you, but you can’t Fuse it yet. So, if a Persona looks awesome, it is often a good idea to save it until you gain a level and then build this one, rather than settling for Fusing a weaker Persona you don’t want.
When should you register a Persona in Persona 5 Tactica?
Every time you gain a new Persona from a mission or Fuse a new Persona for the first time,it will automatically be registered. If you later gain a new version of a Persona by Fusing and prefer the inherited skill set you’ve created, you shouldFuse this one over the old one.
It’s important to rememberyou need Personas with the abilities you need if you want to add them as inherited skillsin your current Personas list. Otherwise, when you Fuse them you can’t get the inherited skills you want. It isalways worth registering a Fused Persona over a basic onefrom mission rewards, as it will always then have an inherited skill to share in the future.
To register a Persona, go to the Register Persona option on the V.Room menu. You canlook at both the Current and Registered Personas to compare thembefore you decide.
How to summon Personas
Later, you may withdraw a Persona you sacrificed by spending Yen, allowing you to use it again to forge another new one.Even the lowest level Personas cost around 1,000 Yenthough, so be careful with your cash. You can only summon a Personayou have previously had but do not currently have.
What are the best Persona 5 Tactica Personas?
There are no right answers here, as different Personas will suit every mission, quest, or character better depending on their main and inherited skills. The key to success is touse Personas to fill gaps and strengthen weaknessesin the Phantom Thieves.
What to look for in each Persona
When choosing to Fuse a new Persona, or when equipping them to your characters, I always consider the following points:
