Persona 5 Tactica Characters - Every Playable Hero Revealed So Far

After being accidentally revealed before the Xbox Showcase at Summer Games Fest 2023, Atlus confirmed that not only was Persona 5 Tactica a real thing, but it would be coming to Switch on 17th November.

As the name suggests, this is a tactical RPG based on the fifth entry in the Persona series, where you assemble a team of three heroes from the game (alongside some newcomers) to overthrow enemies in tactical turn-based battles.

In preparation for the game's release, Atlus has begun revealing a series of character trailers to give us the lowdown on what each member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts group can bring to the table. Below, we have assembled a list of every character that will be playable in the game and noted their abilities to be used in battle. Note that Futaba isn't playable on the field so she won't be included in this line-up.

Let the roster rundown begin...

Persona 5 Tactica - Full Character Roster

Information on many of the following characters has been shared on the official Persona series Twitter account, @p_kouhou.

Joker

The leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, Joker's pistol weapons target individual enemies from afar — lessening the chance that you will be caught in return fire — and deal a moderate amount of damage. His persona is Arsène.

His unique skill, 'Phantom Judge', can damage enemies in range and even take them down while guarding.

Morgana

The team's cat (that isn't a cat), Morgana is useful for getting enemies out of cover, using a 'Sweep Attack' to shift opponents into allies' lines of fire.

This is expanded in his unique 'Winds of Time' skill, which can deal damage to a huge area while moving enemies from their cover. Morgana's Persona is Zorro.

Check out Morgana's battle abilities in the spotlight trailer below.

Erina

A fresh face to the Phantom Thieves group and a mysterious revolutionary, Erina is able to target multiple enemies at once and deal a high amount of damage to each.

Her 'Flag of Freedom' skill plants a flag in the ground, weakening nearby enemies and giving allies a health boost.

You can get a taste of Erina's skills in battle from the video in the following tweet.

Ryuji

Loud and compassionate, Ryuji is the chief troublemaker of the Phantom Thieves, but he's also one of the strongest members of the team. His Persona is Captain Kidd, and his codename is Skull.

Ryuji's 'Brigantine Blitzkrieg' immobilizes enemies in a straight line, even if they're hiding behind cover.

Ann

Ann is one of the earliest members of the Phantom Thieves. She's a great support character and is able to attack multiple enemies at once. Ann's codename is Panther, while her Persona is Carmen.

While her submachine gun can attack small groups of enemies, her 'Femme Fatale' special means she'll summon a bomb that will hit enemies under cover.

Yusuke

An art student at a neighbouring school, Yusuke is as strong as he is fast. His assault rifle means he can attack enemies from a distance, and he commands the Persona Goemon and bears the codename Fox.

With Goemon, he can use 'Like a Phantom' to create decoys on the battlefield.

Makoto

As the student council president and sister of Sea Niijima, Makoto has a strong sense of justice as she advises and helps her allies in the Phantom Thieves. Her codename is Queen, and her Persona is Johanna.

'Full Throttle' will attack all enemies in a straight line and also knock them from their position.

Haru

Haru is the daughter of the CEO of Okumura Foods, though despite breaking free of the shackles of her responsibilities, she holds her head high. Her Persona is Milady, while her codename is Noir.

Haru can use 'Noble Lady's Invitation' to draws enemies closer together for huge AOE damage.

That's all for now — we'll be updating this guide as announcements are made, so stay tuned for the full roster.
