Persona 5 Royal Best Party
Stealing Hearts With The Phantom Thieves


You'll meet plenty of amazing characters who'll later become part of your team in Royal. But with only 3 slots in a party, it can be difficult deciding on which combination is best. Here are the best party selections to get you from the beginning to the end of the game.

5.The Newcomers

Spice things up with the new characters and storyline.

This party lineup is perfect for players who want to truly experience the new storyline and characters in Royal to the fullest. Depending on where you are in the story you’ll have access to Goro Akechi or Kasumi as part of your party. Their screen time is short, but the two characters’ dialogue and interactions are well worth seeing. 

Party Members:

  • Ann
  • Ryuji
  • Joker
  • Akechi/Kasumi

What Makes The Newcomers Awesome:

  • Akechi is extremely efficient with Bless and Almighty attacks and Kasumi has multiple useful support skills such as Evade Curse.
  • Ann has high magic damage capabilities as well as useful support skills such as Lullaby.
  • Ryuji is a strong tank character with high HP and physical damage capabilities, God’s Hand ability is helpful when dealing with high leveled enemies.

4.The OGs

Nothing wrong with keeping things vanilla.

Even as the base starting line up, this party combination is just as capable as the other members. If you get attached easily you can rest assured that the original line up is as efficient at the beginning of the game as they are towards the end.

Guns-blazing is more fun than defense.

If you like playing aggressively and in the offense than this party line up is perfect for you.

This line up is efficient and arguably the most versatile party.
