Persona 3 Reload Theurgy system explained

The addition of the Persona 3 Reload Theurgy system brings with it a twist to the classic Persona 3 formula. In short, it allows your team members to execute powerful finishers that deal a massive amount of damage. Each S.E.E.S. member possesses a unique Theurgy that revolves around their personalities. It can be executed separately and has its own gauge.

All you need to know about the Persona 3 Reload Theurgy system

The Persona 3 Reload Theurgy system is introduced right after Fuuka joins the S.E.E.S. as its navigator. You can begin using Theurgy as soon as you enter the Arqa section of Tartarus and experiment with it on the various enemies you encounter.

The Persona 3 Reload Theurgy meters are unique for each character, charging independently of each other. To charge your Theurgy, follow the in-game instructions (which are unique for each character) to charge up the meter slowly.

A fully charged Theurgy meter is indicated by a red bar on top of the character portrait with a “MAX” flavor text in bold, white letters.

With the Theurgy meters fully charged, characters in your party can now execute special moves using the R2 button instead of a Skill.

Theurgy moves are powerful and can deal either physical or elemental damage. Theurgy completely ignores enemy resistance and is a great way to stack additional damage. So much so that it may be beneficial to include Theurgies in your battle strategy.
