Want to know which Persona is the strongest in each game of the main series? The Persona games are more than just your average JRPG: they’re also a love letter to the world’s myths, folk tales, and history, with each Persona and demon you can recruit being based on these figures. As you build your team, you can fuse Persona to create more powerful allies, and the best of the bunch can become absolute monsters in battle.
Athena
Athena is the ultimate Persona of the Justice Arcana in Persona 2. She’s a powerful physical attacker, with devastating skills such as sword blows and an instant kill attack.
Cybele
Cybele is the ultimate Persona of the Priestess Arcana in Persona 5. She’s a top-tier healer with powerful recovery skills, and she can also restore SP to all allies when she evokes an attack.
Surt
Surt, a Norse god of fire, is a go-to Persona for raw magical damage output with fire-based skills. In Persona 3, the Persona Loki takes on Surt’s appearance, a clear nod to the Norse mythology that inspired them both.
Trumpeter
Similarly to Surt, Trumpeter is based on one of the seven trumpeting angels in the Book of Revelation, who will sound their horns ushering in the final judgement. As a Persona, Trumpeter excels in a support role, with debuffing skills that hinder enemies, and support buffs for your allies.
Mada
Mada is the ultimate Persona of the Magician and Tower Arcanas in Persona 4 and 5, respectively. Both versions of Mada deal massive fire damage to all enemies, with the Magician version also providing passive benefits.

Maria
In Persona 5 Royal, Maria makes a return as the final Persona of the Faith Arcana. Maria brings powerful support skills to the party, healing and boosting stats at the expense of her own HP.
Alice
Alice is a high-level Persona in the Death Arcana, and she’s a nuke with high magic stats to back her up. Her move list includes several powerful instant kill moves, making her a valuable asset to any death-themed team.

Messiah
The Persona 3 protagonist’s base Persona evolves into Messiah, one of the most powerful Personas in the series. Messiah boasts impressive stats and healing abilities, making it a valuable ally when it comes to fusions.
Sophia
Sophia, one of the strongest Persona users in the game, makes a return in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. In addition to her signature yo-yo fighting style, Sophia has a final Persona named Pandora, which inflicts severe damage on all enemies.
