Persona5: The Phantom X Best Team Compositions
Updated 2026-06-03
Building the right team in Persona5: The Phantom X is the difference between breezing through a palace and hitting a wall. Here are the best team compositions for PVE, PVP, and co-op raids as of Version 4.0.
Best PVE Team: The Standard
| Slot | Character | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wonder | Hybrid DPS | Flexible Persona swapping, covers weaknesses |
| 2 | Joker | DPS | Highest burst, All-Out Attack synergy |
| 3 | Sophia | Healer/Support | Best healing, SP battery, cleanse |
| 4 | Makoto | Tank/Support | Marakukaja, tanky, covers Electric |
F2P Team (No Gacha 5-Stars)
Wonder (free) + Morgana (free) + Ann (free) + Ryuji (free) is the best F2P team. It covers Fire, Physical, healing, and flexible DPS. It is not flashy, but it works up to Palace 6. For Palace 7, you will want to replace Ryuji with a farmable character from events — Rei (healer hybrid) is a great upgrade.
PVP Team: The Crit Squad
Akechi (DPS/Breaker) + Joker (DPS) + Sophia (Support) + Makoto (Tank). The strategy: Sophia buffs crit rate, Akechi shreds DEF, Joker goes ham. Makoto provides backup defense. This team has the highest burst potential in the current PVP meta.
