Written by Rahul Gupta
This tier list ranks the strongest characters in Persona 5: The Phantom X based on their overall performance, skills, and usefulness in different modes.

Joker
Tier 2 – S Rank
These units are just below S+, but still dominate most fights and team comps. Bui and Skull have been bumped up for their value and synergy.
Lufel
Wind
Leon
Morgana
Bui
Skull
Tier 3 – A Rank
Strong mid-game options that can carry with the right builds.
Not quite S tier, but reliable and worth investing in early.
Soy
Riddle
Puppet
Mont
Panther
Tier 4 – B Rank
These characters are serviceable but need team support or upgrades to shine.
Sepia joins this tier for having niche utility with limited scaling.
Okyann
Fleuret
Yuki
Sepia
Tier 5 – C Rank
These are the weakest units right now and usually not worth prioritizing.
They’re more filler than core.
Closer
Key
Moko
Final Blurb
If you plan to reroll or build your first team, go for S+ or S tier units. Rin, Joker, and Skull are safe picks, and even Bui can outperform in the right comp.
Everything below A rank is mostly optional or backup.
