Persona 3 Reload Tier List: Best Personas Ranked

This list covers the 10 strongest base game Personas based on their skills, stats, and functionality to help you build a strong party! Scroll down to find out.

10. Alice

The Queen of Death Alice boasts tremendous instant-kill potential with her signature Die For Me! attack. With Mudo Boost, this sinister skill becomes even deadlier.

She also gets access to Maeigaon for heavy Dark damage against groups. Her skillset does lean heavily into Darkness, and low Endurance makes her squishy, thus we put her in number 10, but she still overwhelms most enemies before they can fight back.

9. Scathach

Scathach is a legendary warrior obtained by maxing Fuuka's Social Link. Scathach wields a versatile mixture of Ice and Wind magic. Attacks like Mabufudyne and Magarudyne clear out enemies with ease in the late game.

On top of being strong against Ice and Pierce damage, Scathach also resists Wind and Light. She is held back only by a Fire weakness and low health and defense.

8. Susano-o

Being a Stormbringer available after hitting Rank 10 with the Fool Social Link, Susano-o dominates with physical Slash attacks. Thanks to starting with charges and moves like Vorpal Blade, he requires only a little setup to defeat enemies. Although his Electric and Light weaknesses demand protection, his raw power is still very strong and useful.

7. Thanatos

Persona 3's iconic face, Thanatos, is back with powerful Dark magic. Resistant to all elements except Light, he easily withstands magic attacks. With extra skills, he becomes more versatile, but his forte is still Darkness. Thanatos, embodying Death, is a strong choice overall.

6. Satan

Satan wields powerful magic and the exclusive Black Viper, crushing enemies with style. Despite a weakness to wind, he learns to cover it over time. However, his skills drain SP rapidly. Unlocking Armageddon solidifies his position as a top-tier Persona.

5. Masakado

Masakado, a legendary samurai, excels in physical damage and learns essential debuffs like Debilitate, along with crit rate and damage boosts. While he has a weakness to Electric, his balanced defensive abilities make him a strong choice. With the right skills, Masakado becomes a powerful force to enhance both your party and sword for effective enemy elimination.

4. Helel

Helel delivers powerful almighty attacks with his exclusive Almighty Boost, obtained by completing the Star Social Link. Initially weak to Ice, he becomes highly resilient by absorbing Light and Dark elements. A well-built Helel can illuminate the deepest parts of Tartarus effectively.

3. Lucifer

The formidable King of Demons boasts the most potent Fire, Ice, and Wind skills, along with Concentrate. Nullifying Light and Dark and resisting various elements, Lucifer becomes a powerhouse. Achieving him requires multi-Arcana fusion and an invitation from Elizabeth, but his unparalleled strength makes the effort worthwhile.

2. Messiah

Messiah, obtained through Judgement Arcana Max, creates a strong defense for your party, resisting almost all damage types except Almighty. Despite joining late, use him in the final stretch and New Game+ for best results. With skill cards and fusion enhancements, a well-built Messiah is nearly untouchable, even against formidable enemies like the Reaper.

1. Orpheus Telos

Orpheus Telos, the ultimate Persona achieved through total Social Link completion in one cycle, is unbeatable to regular attacks. With Signature Victory Cry, he restores HP and SP after battles. Inheriting abilities from powerful personas like Helel and Messiah makes Orpheus Telos as the strongest controllable Persona in Persona 3 Reload.

There you have it, a complete tier list of best personas in Persona 3 Reload. It's important to remember that this tier list serves as a general guide. Winning battles in the game still affected heavily on players' unique playstyles. Good luck!
