Persona Compendium & Fusion Recipes

Persona Compendium & Fusion Recipes

The Persona Compendium is your ultimate resource for tracking and recalling the Personas you've encountered and fused. As you progress through Persona 5, you'll acquire a vast array of Personas, each with unique skills, elemental affinities, and stats. The Compendium allows you to re-summon any Persona you've previously obtained for a certain in-game currency (J$). Mastering Persona fusion is key to overcoming the game's challenges, as it allows you to create more powerful Personas by combining two or more existing ones.

Fusion in Persona 5 is a deep system with numerous possibilities. When fusing, the resulting Persona's level is typically based on the average level of the ingredients, but certain combinations can yield special results or inherit specific skills. Always pay attention to the skills your ingredient Personas possess, as you can often pass down powerful abilities to your new creation. For example, fusing a Pixie with a special skill might result in a more potent Pixie or pass that skill to a higher-level Persona.

Common Fusion Combinations and Tips:

• Early Game Powerhouses: Look for combinations that yield Personas strong against common early-game enemies. For instance, fusing a Jack-o'-Lantern with a Mandrake can create a higher-level Jack Frost, which is excellent for its Ice abilities.
• Skill Inheritance: When fusing, you can choose which skills to inherit. Prioritize skills that cover your party's weaknesses or provide strong offensive options. Skills like "Diarama" (medium HP recovery) or elemental attacks are invaluable.
• Confidant Bonuses: Certain Confidant ranks unlock special fusion recipes or provide bonuses to the resulting Persona. For example, ranking up with the Strength Confidant (Tae Takemi) allows for more powerful fusions.
• Special Fusions: Some of the most powerful Personas can only be created through specific, often multi-Persona, fusion recipes. These are usually unlocked later in the game and require careful planning and resource management.
