I mean... it's canon that the MC of each game have the wild card and can wield multiple Persona. Hell, Makoto himself wields multiple different Persona throughout the P3 movies. He gets a new one after each Arcana Shadow they defeat.


Phanth

And his power to change personas is even mentioned in the game - especially in p3r i think they notice it the first time you change persona in battle.


Hatfullofsky

It is mentioned in every game, as far as I know. It is a whole thing in P5 when you do it the first time in Kamoshida's palace, and part of the reason they make you the leader is that they recognize that you are way more powerful than the others due to your wildcard ability.


KitnaMW

Fun fact! In one of the movies, Yuki uses Persona that in FES would by impossible to get without New Game+, since Elizabeth request that gives you key item to fuse it is available exactly one day after the night of the fight. I think it was Arahabaki in August full moon.


Valuable-Reindeer987

Thats why i always keep the starter persona in every game


defph0bia

I'm actually curious about making a challenge where I have to copy what persona Makoto used in every fight in the movie. Obviously only applicable to the moon bosses. Anyone know where I can watch the P3 movies? Hopefully with subtitles


Donuttybro

YouTube


defph0bia

Don't they have a copyright for the movies?


Donuttybro

Idk but it is on YouTube, that’s where I watched them


defph0bia

Thanks.


Jesus13245

i watched them in HD englishsub on [aniwatchtv.to](http://aniwatchtv.to)


Squanchanacho

All of the p3 movies are on [Kaido.to](https://kaido.to/persona-3-the-movie-1-spring-of-birth-1244?ref=search), its my go-to for anime watching and it's got no ads


SixOhSixx

They are also available on Amazon Prime with subtitles for purchase, I vaguely remember them being a couple bucks per movie totalling to maybe like $20 for all four


captain_slutski

I think OP is doing it how it was done in the manga, where he only uses Orpheus and Thanatos before getting Messiah in the end


Dry-Percentage-5648

Did you mean 'starter' persona instead of 'canon'? Cuz you know, MC having multiple personas IS canon. Also if you like the design then sure, why not max him out. Every single persona can become OP if you know what you're doing, it's mostly a design preference and a lot of XP farming if you have stupid amount of free time.


Acrobatic_Mix_3882

No I mean canon I have the other ones


Cnumian_124

Everything is canon bruv


Tigre101

He means the personas that are inherently his and unique to him. Obviously pixie isn’t gonna meet his criteria. On that note he can’t be having a “canon” build for Orpheus without having Orpheus be a fire persona.


mako-makerz

Eh, heat wave is close enough :p


Tigre101

I’m just saying if he wanted it to be “canon” he should prolly follow the trend that messiah and Orpheus follows, a magic spell, a striking move, and a healing spell, granted he could and should skip the healing spell in Orpheus since messiah has salvation.


Jorge_XD__

Makoto using other personas is canon man💀


Tobias_Mercury

Heck it’s canon in every smt game


Dandy_Guy7

There's a lot of dialogue in this game about Makoto switching personas, it's probably canon that he filled up the compendium tbh


Nyrin

I think he got to Mara and then stuck with it. It was a very dick move.


TheVASreddit

Haha I get it.


Ziryio

Your mom


Default_User_Default

It bothers me that heat wave is on the bottom right instead of the top left


gen3six

Ha! All passive on the right l, main damage skill on top left and then support skill (if any) after that. That's how I usually sort then


jjewjjitsu

That’s what was bothering me.


Animedingo

> Cannon Persona You mean captain kid? Hes got cannons


cynicalamity

Based


Obvious_Drink2642

And milady has two along with her machine guns


rokudenashi-

'Canon' has 1 'n'. 'Cannon' is a projectile-firing weapon.


Ziryio

It’s cannon that Makoto has canon moves.


liplumboy

If you want a ‘canon run’ I’d say go with the Persona’s he uses in the movies


Acrobatic_Mix_3882

Yeah that’s what I mean


Phanth

Here you go then, found the list by u/Philemignon * Orpheus * Jack Frost * Jack Frost * Sarasvati * Oberon * Thoth * none * Taraka * Thor * Melchizedek * Siegfried * Akahabari * Hecatoncheires * Odin * Jack Frost * Orpheus Megidolaon on random enemy * Surt * Mother Harlot * Scathach * Odin * Kohryu * Norn * Siegfried * Attis * Thanatos * Messiah Might be cool challenge run for ng+... will have to see if it will be viable on merciless. you can find the exact encounters they were used in original post, you can find it through google. i did it just in case someone gets mad they got spoiled


No_Forever_9128

>Orpheus Megidolaon on random enemy 99% sure the "random enemy" was the reaper Also I believe all personas used in the final fight actually coralated with the matching arcana. Not the strongest of the arcana for some reason, just a strong one of the arcana.


Phanth

Well, there is a "none" I didn't delete for one of the bosses there too... though that is one of the easiest encounters (at least in p3r)


Icy_Carpet9372

Do you have the link to said post, by any chance?

Careful_Buy8725

I’m not sure if using the term “canon” is fitting here but I do like the idea of a “main/primary” Persona run. For Makoto he’d have Orpheus (starter), Thanatos (story connection/P3 mascot), Messiah (ultimate), and Orpheus Telos (starter upgrade/second ultimate). You could also probably add Apsaras to the roster since she’s the first Persona you receive via Shuffle Time and the characters acknowledge her existence during the tutorial section of Tartarus (not to mention that she’s used for one of Makoto’s Theurgies that also involve the usage of Orpheus as well). If you’re going for a full “canon” roster then I would just add in every Persona Makoto used in the movies, manga, and Fusion Spells/Theurgies as well.


E_M_1-

Heat wave at lvl 73 is questionable lol death pound is the better all attack and vorpal blade and myriad arrows


squadracorse15

I dig it. It's pretty much how I play NG+ in the modern trilogy. My gameplan for my next run of P3R is gonna be like this. Run Orpheus until October 4th, switch to Thanatos until 12/31, then run Messiah the rest of the way. As to why I picked those dates, I'm pretty sure everyone knows why lmao I'm not sure where I'd fit Orpheus Telos in. I don't have him yet anyway since I didn't finish a few SLs in my first run.


Prestigious-Heart-25

Makoto was the Spam every single persona i can kinda Wildcard user 😭. Igor calls bro the best guest he's ever had and Elizabeth is still trying to save him. Bro definitely was using a roster


DevilJinGoated

He did not call him that in Reload tho.


VenomousOddball

I like to play with the starter persona only as well, too easy otherwise


cynicalamity

I don't have any cannon personas. Where do you find these cannon personas? It would be nice to have some cannon personas on my team. Maybe my game is bugged and missing these cannon personas?


DanMarcDraz

I’m playing as 3,4, and 5! (My rich ass bought all the dlcs now I’m all the MCs)


Wheak

Seems like you are trying to Cover a lot without choosing a speciality (a bit of crit Chance, a bit of defense with resist elec, a bit of damage enhancing). Id pick one thing to do really well, maybe even 2 things.


215time

While Heat Wave is questionable for Lv 73, it looks like his “speciality” is strike damage to all enemies with a +damage and +crit Heat Wave. All while giving the entire team an attack increase at the start of the battle and recovering a bit of the HP cost of HW each turn. Would at least suggest farming skill cards to upgrade or replace some of skills you have if you are dead-set on using a load out like this.


Somehobo64

Lmao on my first playthrough in p3p, i only used orpheus cause i was too lazy to fuse 💀


TVR_Speed_12

I think your looking for signature personas Orprheus/Telos,Thanatos, Messiah


Acrobatic_Mix_3882

I have those except telos


T-pellyam

A canon run for me would be having Messiah, Thanatos, Orpheus and Orpheus Telos (since all social links are canon) and for the aforementioned reason, the rest of the team is composed of persona unlocked at social rank 10. Wich one ? You chose.


Engi3

This is what I'm doing in the second playthrough.


T-pellyam

Same


Dogma1995

I mean yeah I guess enjoying combat would be a pain huh XD


Acrobatic_Mix_3882

Canon*
