Persona 5 The Phantom X tier list explained

The characters inPersona 5 The PhantomXare differentiated by their rarities, but it’s more important to understand their roles. Every character fulfills one of the following four roles:DPS, Support, Sustain,andNavigator. Additionally, some characters might be good in one game mode but not so good in others.

To keep matters simple, I have combined all the factors to construct my tier list. If one character is powerful in one mode and weak in another, I have added that point. I have made the tier list based on manual play.
