Ultimate Personas

Learn how to obtain the most powerful and versatile Personas in Persona 4 Golden: Yoshitsune, Helel, and Trumpeter. Master their skills and fusion processes.

This section will describe the process of getting the strongest Personas in the game; strong as in the most all-around valuable Personas. These Personas trivialize the game, thanks to both their unique capabilities and affinities. They are especially effective if you're playing on Very Hard New Game +, if you want to rush the encounters, and/or face the Secret Boss.

They are divided in 3 categories:

1. Physical - Yoshitsune
2. Magic - Helel
3. Support - Trumpeter

Below you'll find the skill list and process to acquire it. You'll notice that all Personas end up immune to most sources of damage (save for Almighty), and are solely focused on their role.

Some notes:

• In triple fusions, the used Personas' levels need to be in the order given (as in, the first Persona's level needs to be greater than the second and third's; and the second's greater than the third's).
• The skillsets allow for some flexibility. Choose which skill you want, when given the chance
• The ingredients that have skills in brackets should (if they don't have the skills listed) be fused (instead of summoned from the Compendium) and then saved on the Compendium. Some of them will be used more than once.

However, these are merely suggestions. Feel free to make any changes you deem necessary. The bolded skills are innate to the Persona in question, precisely to facilitate any alterations you may want to do. And this website may help you:

• Notes
  • Growth 2/Growth 3 only serve to make Yoshitsune reaching level 83 more flexible; in other words, they're optional
  • That being said, if you have "Growth 2", consider giving it to Yoshitsune, even if it ends up with no attacking skills. You should have enough firepower with the other Personas
  • And when it reaches level 83, and learns Hassou Tobi, feel free to get rid of Growth 2 (or Growth 3)
