Persona 5 Tactica Releases New Gameplay Details

Atlus has released new details about the gameplay for Persona 5 Tactica, as we also get another look at it through screenshots.


Atlus dropped new details today about Persona 5 Tactica, as we have more info on how the gameplay will go along with added screenshots. We're kind of surprised that this is how the company is doing the reveals for the game instead of just releasing trailers like everyone else that give a better idea than just images and a list of areas they want to cover. We have the rundown of notes for you below, along with the new images, as the game is still on track for a November 17 release.

Hold Back From Fighting to Charge!

Don't lose your head in the heat of battle! Play it cool like a real Phantom Thief!​ ​If a character takes no action during a battle, then at the end of your turn that character will begin to charge!​ ​During your next turn, they'll be powered up and ready for action! ​​Carefully position yourself to lure out enemies and gain a charge for a smart play!​ Each character's charge has different effects, so be sure to try them all!

Everyone Can Equip Their Own Sub-Persona!

All Phantom Thieves can equip a Sub-Persona!​ Equipping a Sub-Persona will raise that character's stats!​ You can also use that Persona's unique and inherited skills!​ Sub-Personas not only have active skills that you can use SP to ​activate, they also have passive support skills that automatically ​activate in battle!​ Search for the perfect character and Sub-Persona combo!

Create New Weapons in the Velvet Room!

The Velvet Room has a new service! In addition to the usual Persona fusions,​ you'll be able to fuse two Personas to create a weapon!​ You can combine certain Personas in order to create new unique weapons. These weapons are superior to what you can buy in the shop!​ It'll give you an advantage to create many different weapons, so be sure to use this feature often!

Savor Hard-Fought Victories on High Difficulty Levels!

When playing on Hard or higher difficulty levels, the strength of enemy attacks as well as their HP will increase, and your attacks can now hit your own party members as well! If you don't pay attention when using wide-range attacks, you might find your party members have low HP without the enemy even touching you!​ However, you can retry as many times as you want! Test out different strategies!
