Puppet is all on shielding her allies, and she universally increases the team’s defense in a battle the more Shields she puts up thanks to her Seashell stacking passive. She is great for longer fights like bosses and challenges, and gets even more efficient with each Awareness active.

Part of Phantom Idols

Miyu Sahara shows up in the Metaverse as Puppet in the Metaverse. They do not have powers to wield a Persona, but they still assist Wonder and his team as they descend down Mementos.

Puppet is a unique Navigator. While she cannot boost the firepower of your team, she takes over the tank role and gives you more options in building your squad.

Players have the option to field 2 damage dealers, like Fleuret and Sepia, with Puppet shielding them. With multiple damage-dealers, you will need Riddle since she can provide party-wide buffs.

Skull is a character that works best when he is at low health. In order to keep him alive, it is better to rely on shields rather than heals.

Puppet, Leon, and Soy can provide the protection needed by Skull. Leon can also buff the attack of Skull, while Soy can absorb the attacks.

Wonder can act as an additional buffer with the proper Persona.

With Puppet protecting your party, players can choose to field at 2 buffers. Leon and Moko can focus their buffs on a single damage dealer, like Fleuret, to annihilate your enemies.

Make good use of Wonder's capability to bring multiple Personas so that he can act as a buffer, damage dealer, or a healer in case of emergency.
