Persona 5 The 10 Strongest Sun Arcana Personas Ranked According To Strength
The Sun Arcana has some pretty useful Personas. But which ones are the strongest? The Sun is usually directly related to the mood of the character who is representing it who, in this case, happens to be Toranosuke Yoshida. He plays the role of a honest politician in Persona 5 and despite the fact that he's been thrown into a vile light, he manages to come out of it with a smile and can-do attitude. This is apparent in the conversations he and the protag have, during which he continues to fight for truth and justice, in spite of what has been said about him. Yoshida is important in more ways than just plot furthering, though; his arcana is responsible for personas the player can obtain via his social link. Yoshida's constant optimism is telling of this arcana, as his consistent happiness is reflective of the vitality and light of the sun. However, this card traditionally means the person bearing it is usually bound for some sort of trouble, which is also evident in Yoshida's storyline - hence his good moods becoming that much more impressionable. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Suzaku
In chinese legend, Sozaku is one of four constellation guardians. This mythical creature is representative of the direction south, of the element of fire, and of the summer. While there are no fire-specific attacks that come with this persona, the persona itself does absorb fire magic, boosting its strength in that way. Its attacks include Frei, Tarunda, Marin Karin, Ominous Words, Mafrei, Speed Master, and Matarunda. With a base level of only 19, it does rank the lowest on the list, but still has some great in-battle moves. Mithras
Not to be confused with the Mithra of the Devil arcana, Mithros is specific to the Sun arcana. His background is rooted in several mythologies and he is a god of Mithraism. His base level is 39, making him among the weakest of the Sun arcana personas, but he does have useful abilities. While this persona won't be take down enemies in a single swoop, he does possess the ability to cure elemental ailments, deal physical or nuke damage to foes, and can cast Confusion on those who are vulnerable to it. Yurlunger
As we move up the scale of Sun personas as ranked by strength, we encounter this unusual-looking reptile. The Yurlunger is from Aboriginal mythology; in Australia, it's believed that this massive snake was once awakened from slumber by the scent of a woman's cycle, which then drove him mad. With the scent of blood strong, he was responsible for devouring the woman as well as her sisters before being commanded to spit them out. It's said that when he appears, rain is on the way and that a boy will be ready for manhood - hence his vibrant coloring. This persona brings with it Brainjack, Mazionga, Megido, Revolution, Elec Break, Tetra Break, and Elec Boost. Horus
Most of us are familiar with the god Horus, the god of light. In Egyptian lore, Horus will often be referred to as being the 'Sky'. This persona starts at a base level of 49 which lands near the middle of the scale for Sun arcana personas. His abilities include Almighty damage, restorative HP power, Bless damage, a high chance of insta-killing one enemy, a Bless insta-kill, and the increase of evasion for all party members. Ganesha
Ganesha is another deity that most are familiar with, as he's the Hindu deity of wisdom and intellect. He's also worshipped as the deity responsible for removing obstacles from one's path as well as a supporter of the arts and sciences. In Persona 5, Ganesha has the ability to resist physical attacks and is only weak to Psy attacks. He absorbs wind and can cast physical damage, while also casting barriers on a player's party and increasing the chance of surviving a critical hit. Yatagarasu
A figure from Shintoism, it's believed that Yatagarasu is representative of the will of heaven. This persona can block Bless damage, is resistant to wind attacks, can inherit fire magic, and is only weak against Curse magic. Its attacks are very useful, and include fully restoring the HP of the entire party, removing wind resistance and nullifying wind damage, curing debuffs on the entire party, counteracting Makarakarn, reducing the accuracy of enemies, and can deal heavy fire damage. Quetzalcoatl
Deeply rooted in Aztec beliefs, Quetzalcoatl is translated to 'feathered serpent'. He's one of the most important gods in Aztec culture, despite his sad story. He arose from the dead to teach men how to farm, and it's said that he return during the time of Man. This persona is resistant to wind damage and also deals heavy wind damage. Additionally, he can be used to inflict light physical damage and to regenerate 6% of a player's HP during each turn. Asura-Ou
Asura-Ou is the strongest of all the Sun arcana personas and has the attacks to match. In the Vedic religion, Asura-Ou are gods of social and moral phenomena. However, they also appear in Hinduism and are demon-like, representative of primitive wants and needs. In stark contrast to these opposites, Asura also appear in Buddhism as being associated with bad births and those who are always unhappy with themselves and angry with everyone and everything. Asura-Ou's abilities in the game include significant Nuke damage, Reflection, and Immunity to mental ailments, in addition to a high chance of a one-hit kill. Confidant Toranosuke Yoshida
Yoshida is the confidant responsible for the Sun arcana and the player must max out his social rank in order to get the most powerful personas of the arcana. A tired politician, Yoshida has a mark on his name due to his past as well as his unusual, un-politician-like personality. , it's the protag's job to help during his speeches by holding up a sign (should you so choose). The player's choices on dialogue will further progress the social rank and if done right, will eventually unlock each correlating persona fusion. The Sun Arcana
Represented by two children holding hands beneath a brightly burning sun, the Sun does reveal some powerful personas. Although not the most powerful in the game, they do come in useful during certain points in the game, making Yoshida a desirable social ranking. Players can begin interacting with him on May 6th after obtaining a job at the Beef Bowl, and making sure that they work the night shift.
