Best Personas for Early Game (Lv. 1-20)

List of Personas
Orpheus	Jack Frost	Valkyrie
Slime	Jack-o'-Lantern	Rakshasa
Oberon	High Pixie	Hua-Po

Orpheus

Despite being your starter Persona, Orpheus scales rather well during the early parts of the game due to a single skill, Tarunda. Orpheus has the earliest access to Tarunda, which he learns at Level 5. Tarunda helps massively during the early-boss fights as it can finish them off faster!

Jack Frost

Jack Frost is your introduction to the better Magic Attacker Personas in the game due to its high Magic Stat. Jack Frost also has a deceivingly high Endurance stat early on, allowing you to tank hits. The early Fusion Skills, Jack Brothers, has Jack Frost as one of its components, so keep that in mind!

How to Fuse Jack Frost

Valkyrie

Like Jack Frost, Valkyrie is the introduction to better Physical Attacker Personas in the game for its Strength Stat. Valkyrie also lets you have initiative during fights due to her Agility stat, making her valuable for the early floors to avoid damage.

Slime

Slime is one of the better Personas by simply being the most resilient Persona in the early game. If targeted on early Shadows and bosses that rely on physical attacks, Slime mitigates damage if targeted and dishes it back decently.

However, do know that Fire and Wind attacks are frequent on the second floor of Arqa. Having an alternative Persona should neutralize this weakness.

Jack-o'-Lantern

Jack-o'-Lantern, compared to Jack Frost, is significantly faster and deals more damage at the cost of endurance. He can also learn Maragi as early as level x, which can clear groups of shadows efficiently. Jack-o'-Lantern is also the counterpart to Jack Frost for unlocking the Fusion Skill, Jack Brothers!

How to Fuse Jack-o'-Lantern

Rakshasa

Rakshasa is easily the best Physical attacker you can fuse before Level 20 and above. Rakshasa is a must-have due to his physical-oriented stats revolving around Str, Agi, and Luck while having access to Regenerate and Crit Boost 1. Rakshasa also resists Slash attacks, trivializing early Shadow encounters!

How to Fuse Rakshasa

Oberon

Oberon is your introduction to a healing-oriented Persona. If you plan on leaving Yukari out of your party, having Oberon is a must-have since he has access to Media and has resistance to Dark and Light. Oberon's resistance makes the lower Arqa floors a cakewalk!

How to Fuse Oberon

High Pixie

High Pixie is the second-best Magic-Attacker in the early game due to having one of the highest Magic stat during this level. High Pixie also learns Mabufu innately, which can efficiently finish skirmishes!

How to Fuse High Pixie

Hua-Po

Hua Po is the best Magic-Attacker since she has the highest magic stat and a decent agility stat. The only problem here is that Hua-Po is not conventionally obtained through fusion since you have to complete Elizabeth's 77th Request, so High-Pixie is an effective alternative for her.

Best Personas for Mid Game (Lv. 21-50)

List of Personas
Ose	Oni	Hecatoncheires
Titania	Hariti	Kaiwan
Girimekhala	Thoth	Succubus
King Frost	Leanan Sidhe	-

Ose

Ose is a great physical damage dealer and specializes in clearing large groups of shadows thanks to its Multi-Target Boost skill, and its high Strength and Endurance stats. Put that together with the Life Aid skill, and it can keep on using physical or magic skills without needing to heal back HP or SP.

How to Fuse Ose

Oni

Oni is another excellent physical damage dealer because of its extreme Strength stat at level 31 while having no weaknesses. It also learns Counterstrike and Regenerate 1 which synergizes well with its physical attacks.

Hecatoncheires

Hecatoncheires is one of the tankiest Personas with its incredible Endurance stat. If you combine this with its four resistances and Regenerate 2 skill, then it can absorb almost any attack. It also learns Recarmdra and Endure which lets you heal your whole party to full health without much risk.

How to Fuse Hecatoncheires

Titania

Titania is a must-have for the mid-game due to her immense magical prowess. What really makes her shine is the Concentrate skill, which she can learn fairly easily. When paired with her Magic stat of 40-45 and 3rd-tier spells like Bufudyne, your DMG can reach 4 digits no problem.

How to Fuse Titania

Hariti

If you're in search of a powerful healer for the mid-game, Hariti is a highly viable choice. Upon acquisition, she will come with potent healing spells like Mediarama and Samarecarm, which can come in clutch when you're facing formidable opponents like Monad Bosses.

How to Fuse Hariti

Kaiwan

Kaiwan is great to haev in your arsenal due the Virus Breath spell he innately has, as well as Spirit Drain for when you're running low on SP. Apart from that, Kaiwan also possesses potent status ailment skills like Eerie Sound.

How to Fuse Kaiwan

Girimekhala

Girimekhala is a strong contender for dealing Physical DMG due to his high Strength stat and powerful skills such as Cruel Attack and, later on, Heat Wave. When fusing much stronger Personas, Repel Slash can be inherited from Girimekhala, which can help reinforce them.

How to Fuse Girimekhala

Thoth

Thoth possesses power 2nd-tier Electric spells such as Zionga which can help when you run into enemies with varying weaknesses. The Concentrate skill adds to Thoth's viability, but what really makes him shine is his Soul Shift passive skill, which can help maintain your party's SP for long Tartarus runs!

How to Fuse Thoth

Succubus

Succubus is great to have on deck if you're looking for a good Dark DMG dealer. She possesses powerful Dark spells like Eigaon and Maeiga, and can also learn both the Spirit Drain skill and the Drain Ability passive, which doubles the amount of SP you can absorb!

How to Fuse Succubus

King Frost

King Frost has early access to powerful 2nd-tier ice spells such as Bufula and right at the next level, Mabufula. With his Freeze Boost passive, these spells will Freeze opponents in their tracks more frequently.

How to Fuse King Frost

Leanan Sidhe

Leanan Sidhe can be acquired in the early parts of the mid-game, around when you enter the Yabbashah Block for the first time. It would be wise to acquire her if you're looking for a decent healer, as well as for her Patra and Me Patra skills for when you find yourself bombarded with status ailments.
