Persona 5: The Phantom X Reroll Guide: Start Your Rebellion in Style!
Alright, Phantom Thieves brethren, it’s time! Persona 5: The Phantom X is out at last, bringing its signature style, deep narrative, and turn-based action to mobile and PC. But like with any good gacha game, a strong start can be everything, and that’s where rerolling comes in. Let’s dive into how to begin your journey with the greatest party you can have, either you’re looking for that number one Persona 5 arena tierlist spot or just want to play the story.
What Even IS Rerolling?
So, I’m guessing you’ve heard of the term, then? Rerolling in gacha games really means just redoing your game account repeatedly and repeatedly until your initial free pulls give you highly sought-after character or Persona. It is a bit time-consuming, I admit, but it can pay off big later on by saving you tons of grinding (or money!) later. In Persona 5: The Phantom X, this means attempting for powerful early-game units that will help you survive tough battles and speed up progress.
The Reroll Process: Your Step-by-Step Guide
This is how you do it, no fuss. It’s usually quicker on mobile with an emulator if you’re stuck on a PC, as native PC clients will make rerolling more of a hassle.
Download and Install: Download the game onto your device of choice.
Start as a Guest: This is crucial! Always start as a guest account! Don’t link your account (Google, Apple, etc.) yet, or you’ll be stuck.
Complete the Tutorial: Yes, it is a grind but you must do it. This should take around 10-15 minutes depending on skips available.
Get Your Freebies: As soon as you complete the tutorial, head straight to your in-game mail and any event tabs. Get all of the pre-register rewards, login rewards, and new player event tickets that you can. These are your precious reroll money.
Prioritize the Beginner Banner: Persona 5: The Phantom X usually has a prominent beginner banner that’s on sale or guarantees certain high-rarity units. This is usually where your highest reroll choices reside.
Check Standard Banners: Use up any remaining standard tickets on the permanent banner.
Check Your Pulls: Did you pull your wanted character(s)? Check out a valid Persona 5 X tier list (more on that below!) to look over your pulls and determine if they are good.
Success! What Now?: If you enjoy your pulls, hooray! Link your account (Google, Apple, etc.) immediately to secure your progress.
No Luck? Reroll Again: If your pulls weren’t what you desired, it is time to repeat.
On Mobile/Emulator: Enter your app settings, clear the cache/data of the game, and reload the game. This will delete your guest progress.
On PC Client (if possible and available): This might be trickier. You might need to remove some of the game files or uninstall/reinstall. Clearing data is usually easier on mobile.
Top Reroll Targets & A Persona 5 X Tier List (First Outlook)
When tier lists shift, especially early in the life cycle of a game, here are some general character archetypes you’ll be aiming to fill with initial impression and how these types of games usually play:
Damage Dealers (DPS): Characters that can output massive damage, specifically characters with AoE (Area of Effect) skills for waves in one shot. Seek characters with strong elemental coverage to exploit weaknesses.
Strong Support/Healers: A good healer or a unit capable of applying amazing buffs (like attack up, defense up) or debuffs (like enemy defense down) can greatly increase your team’s survivability and damage.
Versatile Characters: Heroes with the ability to fit into various team compositions and play well in different content types.
Off the top of early playing in regions where the game has come out previously, characters like Ann Takamaki (if she is an early available 5-star) or Yaoling Li have routinely been referred to as safe reroll choices from the newbie banners as they consistently put out good damage. Ann, in particular, is typically a great damage dealer and can get a free 5-star weapon through newbie quests, so she’s a strong early investment.
Remember, though, that the final Persona 5 X tier list will be set a couple of weeks after global launch as players go through all the content and character combos. Always look at current community tier lists on sites like Prydwen.gg for the most recent recommendations.
Popular Characters You’ll Find
Whereas The Phantom X features a new cast and protagonist, it’s very heavily set in the Persona 5 universe. You will get to see some of your old favorites, and the original Phantom Thieves may even make a cameo appearance in some form or via the gacha system as “Cognitive Versions” or “Phantom Idols.”
The New Protagonist: “Wonder,” a high school student who becomes conscious of his Persona.
Lufel: A cryptic owl guide, just like Morgana.
New Team Members: Get familiar with a new set of friends who, besides their own Personas and unique abilities, join your core team in this new game.
Frequently Asked Questions about Persona 5: The Phantom X
- Q: Is Persona 5: The Phantom X a direct sequel to Persona 5?
A: No, it’s a spin-off within the same universe as Persona 5, with a new protagonist, a new set of characters, and an independent storyline. Consider it an alternate adventure in Tokyo. - Q: Is the game free-to-play?
A: Yes, it’s free-to-play gacha game on mobile (iOS/Android) and PC. It makes money through its gacha system for character pulls (Phantom Idols) and their respective Personas/Weapons. - Q: What is the gacha system?
A: Similar to other popular gacha RPGs, you’ll use in-game cash (which you can earn or buy) to pull on banners with the hopes of getting high-rarity characters (Phantom Idols) and powerful Personas or gear. There are usually pity systems in place to guarantee a 5-star pull after a certain amount of attempts. - Q: Are the classic Persona 5 characters in this game?
A: Yes! While the story’s emphasis lies in the new cast, the psychological avatars of famous Persona 5 characters (like Joker, Ann, Ryuji, etc.) exist through the gacha system as Phantom Idols and can be added to your battle line. - Q: Is the social simulation feature in the game?
A: Yes, social simulation is an integral part of the Persona series! You’ll be going about your everyday life, raising your stats, and establishing “Synergy” relationships with the NPCs and your Phantom Idols which reward in-game items. - Q: Will there be a PvP mode like that of a Persona 5 Arena tierlist?
A: While the main Persona games have seen fighting game spin-offs like Persona 4 Arena, Persona 5: The Phantom X is more PvE in focus. It deals with story progression, dungeon crawling, and heavy boss fights in the Metaverse. There can be leaderboards for competitive PvE sections but no straight player-versus-player action like in a normal fighting game.
Starting strong with a solid reroll strategy can really enhance your early game experience in Persona 5: The Phantom X. Dive in, explore the Metaverse, and show those corrupt adults the true power of the Phantom Thieves!
