Best Accessories For Every Character | Persona 3 Portable
In a game filled with weakness striking peril such as P3P, the importance of a good accessory cannot be underestimated. This particular equipment slot can, if used correctly, completely change the effectiveness of any potential party member, and they should absolutely be used to do so. It’s not all about defensive tendencies however, because these…

4 Powerful Physical Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Despite their eventual damage capabilities, Physical persona find themselves victim to a rather strange power curve in Persona 3 Portable. Early on you’ll likely find that they perform rather poorly, owing mainly to a lack of enemy weakness and the innate strength of generating additional turns. They do gain power as the game progresses and…

4 Great Healing Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Before considering the value of healing persona in P3P, we will first note that yes, it’s entirely possible to go the entire game relying upon teammates to restore your health. Doing so however, will almost certainly land you in trouble at key points throughout your ascent of Tartarus, and as such we wholly recommend fusing…

3 Almighty Persona Worth Fusing | Persona 3 Portable
Defining what you might call a ‘good’ Almighty demon is actually pretty difficult. Having recently written about similar things in SMT5, we’ve found that a certain trend continues; just hit hard with Almighty spells, and anything else is a bonus. So when we’re writing about recommendations, we’re really looking for something that separates a persona…

4 Awesome Dark Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Like we noted in our recent Light article, Dark personas also occupy the ‘instant death but no damage’ category of spells in Persona 3 Portable. This is unfortunate, because it will certainly lead to quite a few missed turns, but when the game throws otherwise very defensive enemies at you, and the only weakness that…

4 Incredible Light Persona | Persona 3 Portable
The usefulness or otherwise of Light persona tends to go back and forth in Shin Megami Tensei games. Honestly, we tend to prefer those in which Light and Dark spells deal damage along with their instant death chances, but here in P3P it’s restricted to strictly the latter. To avoid them being shunned completely then,…

4 Wonderful Wind Persona | Persona 3 Portable
For the majority of P3P players, grabbing a wind persona is likely to be pretty low on their list of priorities. This is because Yukari, the first party member to join your team, specialises in bows, healing and yes you guessed it, Wind spells. She does the job particularly well too, but true aficionados of…

4 Epic Elec Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Much like our previous article on Ice persona, Elec persona find themselves in a strange situation in Persona 3 Portable. You’ll be without an Elec user within your party for a good portion of the early game, and even then the first to join you isn’t exactly a master of spells, rather functioning like a…

4 Ideal Ice Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Unlike other elements in Persona 3 Portable, Ice spells find themselves in an unusual position. Having a party member in Mitsuru be so powerful when using them will often encourage players to ignore the element and opt to use her instead. This is a perfectly viable option of course, in fact we’d encourage you to…

4 Fantastic Fire Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Due to the nature of your party in P3P, Fire Personas are if anything more important than usual. Junpei will seriously lack in both fire skills and magic damage, and an alternative option doesn’t arrive until you’re well into the mid game, by which point you’re likely to be set on your party build anyway.…

5 Great Late Game Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Progressing into the late game portion of Persona 3 Portable, which for reference we consider to be from approximately level 50 to 65, can be a difficult proposition. At this level you’ll be taking on the remaining section of the standard Tartarus, and essentially be making the choice to either complete the game, or grind…

5 Ideal Mid Game Persona | Persona 3 Portable
Fusing more powerful persona is crucial in the mid game portion of Persona 3 Portable. Progressing on from the relatively simple early game, you’ll find that new party members, enemies and boss encounters are thrown at you in very short order. So, what we’re looking for here is strong Personas that can assist your team…
