Grind Persona in the Realm of Repression
Collect Persona Seals for Fusion and Skills
After unlocking Persona Fusion in the Velvet Room, use most of your stamina defeating Persona in the Realm of Repression. This gets you more materials for Fusion as well as Seals that you can use to Teach Skills to your favored Persona.
Fusion Guide: How Does Fusion Work?
Improve Wonder's Synergy with the Team
Having more options for Persona will widen the capabilities of your team, since you will be able to adjust Wonder's attributes to fit what you need.
Focus on Merope Synergy to Unlock Persona Fusion Recipes
Unlock Persona Fusions
Merope is one of the first Synergy that you meet in the game. Focus on maxing out her rank first to get all the available Persona Fusions that are locked behind her Synergy ranks.
Aim for Archangel in Early Progress

| Pros and Cons |
Pros: ・Performs well with a fire Based team around Ann Takamaki ・You receive passive heals when you use skills ・Status Accuracy on Ailments increases by 10% Con: ・Has 2 attribute weaknesses |
||
| How to Get | ・Fusion: Suzaku + Obariyon and a 5 Rank Synergy with Merope | ||
One of the best Persona Fusion you can get from Merope is Archangel. This unit provides amazing support if you have a fire-based team.
How to Get Archangel Skills, Stats, Weaknesses, and Resistances
Grind for Weapon Level-Up and Overclock Materials
Other than Persona Seals, aiming for weapon materials is also a good choice. Keep in mind that weapon levels carry over when you switch equipment. That said, leveling up your equipment to max ahead of time would be a good move.
Plan your City Life Activities
At the start of the game, you will receive the full 20 Action Points. Be careful where you use these points since Action Points only recover 5 points once a day at 8 PM UTC.
It is recommended to use these points to Spend Time with Synergy, depending on what benefit you are looking to get. For social stats, reach each stat to level 3 before specializing in one.
Activities Guide: How Does the Calendar Work?
Get Ann Takamaki From the Beginner Banner
At the start of the game you will have access to the Starter Banner which guarantees you a 5-Star unit of your choice between Ann Takamaki, Morgana, and Ryuji Sakamoto after completing 50 pulls.
Make sure to choose Ann Takamaki (Panther) since she has the best attack abilities as a sweeper. She also meshes well with other fire-based team compositions.
