As with previous games, Persona 5 Strikers allows players to fuse Persona to create more powerful entities. Those who have played Persona 5 will likely be looking for how to obtain Satanael, the most powerful Persona from that game, and other fan favorites like Lucifer and Mara. We’ll take a look at the best Personas in Persona 5 Strikers and what their requirements are for fusion.
What is the best Persona in Persona 5 Strikers?
Persona 5 Strikers has fewer Personas than the original game, so fans will have to do without some of their favorites. Satanael, Joker’s ultimate Persona, is not available in the game. With him missing, the strongest Persona in Strikers is Lucifer (unless more are added in DLC). However, to obtain him, players need to meet some demanding prerequisites.
Lucifer is a fusion of five powerful Persona:
- Alice
- Black Frost
- Mara
- Metatron
- Yoshitsune
Getting these five Persona is a feat in and of itself. They’re all obtained via fusion, but three of them have additional requirements.
How to get Alice
Alice is a fusion of four Persona:
- Bugbear – Found as an enemy in Abyss Jail/Persona Fusion
- Dominion – Found as an enemy in the Tree of Life and Wisdom/Persona Fusion
- Lilith – Found as an enemy in Abyss Jail/Persona Fusion
- Nebiros – A fusion of Silky/Kikuri-Hime/Sarasvati + Mithra Koppa/Tengu/Raja Naga
How to get Black Frost
Before a player can obtain Black Frost, they must defeat the Fallen Snowman Dire Shadow in Shibuya Jail. After that, Black Frost is obtained by fusing three Persona:
- Jack o’ Lantern – Found as an enemy in Shibuya Jail/Persona Fusion
- Jack Frost – Found as an enemy in Sapporo Jail/Persona Fusion
- King Frost – Found as an enemy in Sapporo Jail/Persona Fusion
How to get Mara
Players must unlock the ability to fuse Mara by defeating the Throbbing King of Desire in Okinawa Jail. After that, Mara is obtained by combining two Persona:
- Alice – See above.
- Yoshitsune – See below.
How to get Metatron
To fuse Metatron, players have to defeat the Shadow of God Dire Shadow in the Three of Knowledge and Wisdom. After that, it takes four Persona to produce Metatron:
- Archangel – Found as an enemy in Shibuya Jail/Persona Fusion
- Dominion – Found as an enemy in the Tree of Life and Wisdom/Persona Fusion
- Principality – Found as an enemy in Sapporo Jail/Persona Fusion
- Trumpteter – Fusion of Abaddon + Mot, Fortuna/Norn + Silky/Kikuri-Hime/Sarasvati, or Bicorn/Arahabaki/Naga + Silky/Kikuri-Hime/Sarasvati + Valkyrie
How to get Yoshitsune
Yoshitsune must be obtained via the fusion of four Persona:
- Arahabaki – Found as an enemy in Okinawa Jail/Persona Fusion
- Okuninushi – Found as an enemy in Kyoto Jail/Persona Fusion
- Siegfried – Persona Fusion
- Yatagarasu – Enemy in Tree of Life and Wisdom/Persona Fusion
Once players have obtained all five of these Persona, something that is only possible toward the very end of the game, they can be fused into Lucifer. This powerhouse of a Persona is resistant to Physical, Fire, Ice, Electric, and Wind damage, absorbs Curse, and is only weak to Bless. His skill, Morning Star, causes a ton of Almighty-element damage, which no enemy in the game has a defense against. Overall, he’s a beast and well worth the effort needed to obtain him.
