Best Skills to Get in Persona 5 Tactica

Understanding and strategically selecting skills in Persona 5 Tactica can make the difference between triumph and defeat. We’ll go over some of the best skills to focus on for characters in the game..

Which skills to prioritize in Persona 5 Tactica

All the characters in Persona 5 Tactica boast separate, but similarly structured, skill trees. Additionally, the trees split into three sections, each catering to different aspects of combat strategy. The first section deals with Persona abilities, skills and supports. The second features passive abilities that help the whole party. Finally, the third deals with stats and mechanics.

Early on, prioritize acquiring the ability from the third tree that gives characters SP while ending turns in cover. Seeking cover is tactical, so this not only boosts survivability, but also ensures a plenty of SP to unleash abilities.

After that, focus on some of the abilities from the first trees. Morgana, Makoto, Haru, and Erina possess healing spells, which obviously indispensable for sustaining your party in the heat of battle. I found promptly obtaining these abilities is vital to ensure you have a balanced team with healing capabilities.

Additionally, you may want to focus on picking up a few support skills for Ryuji, Ann, and Yusuke, as they provide significant boosts at the start of battles. Ryuji and Ann boost their own strength for three turns, while Yusuke does the same for his speed. Upgrading these skills to the second level extends the benefits to the entire party, amplifying their impact.

Also, I recommend trying to focus on the elemental skills in this tree that hit more than one enemy. It’s better, in this game, to do light damage to two enemies than it is to do medium damage to one.

Finally, in the second tree, you’ll want to focus on Yusuke and Joker’s skills that buff the whole party. Both of them increase gun damage, which is absolutely crucial in Persona 5 Tactica. You’ll spend more time attacking with a gun than anything else, so putting as many points into this particular chain as you can afford is recommended.

By the way, don’t worry about Futaba. She only has a few skills, and they basically unlock in order. Just upgrade the next available one when you can.

How do I gain GP so I can unlock skills?

You need GP to unlock skills and develop your party. You gain small amounts of GP for every character by engage in scenes with party members at the hideout. You’ll net more significant amounts for specific characters by completing quests. You can see which characters will be awarded for the quest before embarking on it.

Should you ever regret a skill choice, don’t stress out about it. Persona 5 Tactica allows you to reset your skill tree at any time without penalty, providing flexibility for experimentation and adaptation.
