Persona 5: The Phantom X narrates the story of another group of Phantom Thieves, assembled by the mysterious Lufel and led by the even more mysterious Wonder, a seemingly normal teenager who seems to be hiding something underneath his memories.
As the protagonist of this story, Wonder will always be part of your party regardless of which characters you choose, and the Wild Card ability lets him equip and use numerous Personas, making him the most versatile character in the game by a long shot.
Wonder can’t equip Revelation Cards, and it’s a mandatory character, no matter which party you want to assemble.

Corroding Lava: Increase Attack by 28.0%. For each Persona of a different attribute equipped, increase damage by 6.0%. Stacks up to three times. After knocking down a foe, decrease the target’s Defense by 15.0% for one turn. |
Explore Kiuchi’s palace until you reach 50% exploration. |
The Fatal Knife will increase your attack percentage depending on the number of Personas equipped, which in the early stages of the game won’t mean much, but it’s the more accessible option from Iwai at the beginning, so it’s your best, cheaper bet if you’re patient.
However, the Midnight Sun dagger will increase your percentual attack values for one turn after changing Personas, which in Wonder’s case works amazingly, given his access to multiple personas. On top of that, since that dagger is a higher rank weapon, its base stats are better, making it a better option.
Last, the best choice for Wonder’s weapons is the Sennight Inferno, which is a free 5-Star Rank weapon you’ll obtain by exploring Kiuchi’s palace. This dagger will give you massive attack increases, and even extra buffs if you equip personas of different attributes, but the icing on the cake, you’ll also decrease the enemy’s defense if you knock them down.
The Best Personas For Wonder
Once you start progressing in the game, Wonder will be able to hold up to three Personas in a single loadout per party, which lets him change them on the go depending on what is needed in combat. This is where his versatility as a character shines, as he can be either a DPS, support, healer or whatever else you need.
Since the Personas you include in Wonder’s loadout will heavily depend on your battle ahead or the rest of the party you have assembled, we have a few overall examples that could serve well in different contexts.
Saving party presets is always encouraged, so you can have different setups ready for Wonder.
|
Persona |
Role |
How To Obtain |
Passive Skill |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Janosik |
Assassin |
Initial Persona. |
Increase Attack by 4.2%. When an ally attacks a Marked foe, increase Attack by 20%. |
|
Parvati |
Medic |
Unlocked by Persona Fusion at level 60. |
Increase HP by 21.2%. After healing, increase the target’s Attack by 11.5% and Defense by 7.5% for one turn. |
|
Norn |
Guardian |
Unlocked by Persona Fusion at level 60. |
Increase Defense by 37.4%. After inflicting Windswept, decrease the target’s Defense by 22.8% for two turns. |
Janosik
The obvious one to begin with is Janosik; this is your starting persona, and it comes with quite a good kit to take your early steps. Tatra Shot and Bullet Time will take care of units more prone to physical damage, but if you need some quick healing, Seize the Day will inflict Bless damage in area while also recovering a portion for your unit with the lowest HP.
Since you’re also able to infuse other Personas’ abilities into its kit, Janosik is as versatile as Wonder is, and you can adapt it according to the situations you’re in, making it the ideal Persona for you in the early hours.
Parvati
Now, if you want to defect into the healing side, you want to take your time until you can obtain Parvati, as she’s easily the best healer Persona for you to use. Not only will she increase your HP, but she will also provide buffs on Attack and Defense while doing so, which in the later stages of the game can mean the difference between life and death.
Norn
While you won’t be using Wonder as a tank unit that often, you might want to take a look at Norn, as it increases Defense and even debuffs the enemy’s Defense after triggering Windswept, making it a great ally to units like Morgana and Leon. Again, not the most usual Persona to have, but certainly one that will take you out of any spicy situation.
The Best Skills For Wonder
Wonder doesn’t have a proper set of skills as much as a tree with nodes that you can level up to bolster your Stats; you should always prioritize increasing his HP, Attack, and Defense, and then move on to the other nodes. These will unlock further levels as your account levels up, so just be sure to check in whenever you level up to see if you’re able to invest in those.
