Persona 5: The Phantom X tier list for the best characters

Persona 5: The Phantom X tier list - Closer, Cattle, and Key.

There are few things more important than building the best characters in a gacha game if you want to have an easier time taking on mid and endgame challenges, and the same is of course true for Persona 5: The Phantom X.

But with so many characters with unique Roles and Attributes to study, building teams can quickly become overwhelming. This combination of gacha mechanics and Persona mechanics may seem like it's designed to give you the mother of all headaches, but it's not so bad once you break each character down into their most basic—which is what I've done below!

So whether you're aiming to breeze through general content like the Velvet Trials and Palaces, or master endgame challenges like the Sea of Souls and Door of Nightmares, this Persona 5: The Phantom X tier list for the best characters can help you out.

Just remember that although I've done a lot of testing, and taken into consideration how the current meta of the older Chinese version of the game currently is, this list is still just opinion in the end, and your team compositions and the enemy weaknesses' are just as important as character rankings when taking on tough battles. So, don't blame me if the bosses are slapping you around—they're probably making me cry right now too.
