Best team composition in Persona 5 Tactica

Unlike Persona 5 Royale or Strikers, Tactica only allows you to use three Phantom Thieves in its battles. You are also not restricted by having to use Joker as one of the squad members. With that in mind, these are the five best squad compositions for this game:

• Joker, Ann, Makoto
• Joker, Yusuke, Makoto
• Makoto, Erina, Ann
• Yusuke, Ann, Joker
• Erina, Joker, Makoto

Each member will have one of the following innate skills.

• Gun Damage - Boosts ranged weapon damage
• Melee Damage - Deals increased melee damage
• HP - Increases party HP
• SP - Increases SP

Based on your enemy lineup, you will need to change the composition of your team, especially in higher difficulties.

Persona - Can use multiple personas but starts with Arsene

Joker is a wildcard, which means he can hold multiple personas. He is quite flexible as a party member and will gain access to massive damage-dealing spells like Megidolaon once you obtain stronger personas.

2) Morgana - Mona

Persona - Zorro

Morgana is useful for pushing enemies back with Garu skills in his arsenal. However, this is not always needed.

3) Ryuji Sakamoto - Skull

Persona - Captain Kidd

He hits enemies with physical attacks and has good crowd control, thanks to his Zio skill. This unit's special skill, Brigantine Blietzkrig, covers a lot of area.

4) Ann Takamaki - Panther

Persona - Carmen

She has one of the best passive in Persona 5 Tactica, as she can raise the SP of every party member. Her Agi spells are also excellent for going on the offensive.

5) Yusuke Kitagawa - Fox

Persona - Goemon

Bufu spells are excellent, and Yusuke has one of the finest crowd-control abilities in the game. His skill of Decoy can be used as a free action and can absorb significant damage.

6) Makoto Nijima - Queen

Persona - Johana

Makoto is a fantastic support character who can provide team-wide healing with her Media skills. She also receives increased movement after you unlock a specific skill.

8) Futaba Sakura - Oracle

Persona - Necronomicon

Futaba is not playable, similar to Royale and Strikers. Her job in Persona 5 Tactica is to guide the team and provide you with occasional buffs.

9) Haru Okumura - Noir

Persona - Milady

Haru gives you access to the Psio damage, and she deals high gun damage as well. However, her movement is quite slow.

10) Erina

Persona - She does not have one.

The latest member of the Phantom Thieves sadly lacks a persona, but she more than makes up for it with her heavy-hitting melee and ranged attacks. She also has some innate skills, such as Dia, that help in occasional healing.
