Persona 5 Tactica Has Sub-Personas and Velvet Room Weapon Fusion

Atlus announced new details about Persona 5 Tactica that go over what to expect from the game and its Personas and Velvet Room weapon fusion. When people go through the game, they’ll be able to adjust the Phantom Thieves by equipping Sub-Personas to adjust abilities or turn additional Personas into equipment. There are also new screenshots showing enemies like Guarded Geisha, Slimy Shinobi, and Sumo-maton.

With the Sub-Persona, this is a way to increase the range of characters’ abilities beyond normal Personas. Atlus noted that these aid a unit in multiple ways. When equipped, it increases their stats and also provides access to new active and passive skills. 

As for spare Personas, those can be taken to the Velvet Room for fusions in Persona 5 Tactica. You can use these to make a new Persona or weapon. With the weapons, these will apparently be stronger than normal ones you buy. 

Finally, Atlus noted how the difficulty level changes different gameplay elements. When you choose Hard, friendly fire is turned on. It also means enemies have more attack power and health. 

Here’s a closer look at the new Persona 5 Tactica screenshots.

Persona 5 Tactica will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC via Steam on November 17, 2023. There will be day one Repaint Your Heart DLC that adds Goro Akechi and Kasumi Yoshizawa.
