Quick notes

Give each party slot a clear purpose. The Investigation Team offers several combinations of damage, healing and support.
Use Social Links to develop teammates. Party-member Social Links unlock useful battle benefits and eventually strengthen their Personas.
Cover gaps through the protagonist’s Personas. You can choose companions you enjoy and fill missing elements or support skills through fusion.
Keep Marie’s role distinct from the battle roster. Marie belongs to the Aeon Social Link and Golden’s added story content.

Use Social Links to develop teammates

Important non-combat relationships

Useful tip

A party role is a starting point; inspect the skills actually learned at the current level.
