In Persona 3/Reload, Persona 4/Golden, and Persona 5/Royal, the Agility stat dictates the sequence of turns for each party member in battle. Having the highest Agility means going first, while the lowest goes last. Consider bringing along party members with above-average speed if striking first to Down enemies is crucial in combat.
The protagonist's Agility stat depends on the equipped Persona and its level. Since party members have only one Persona, understanding their stats is key when forming a team. While high Agility is beneficial, it doesn't guarantee strong Strength or Magic. A high Agility stat works well in healing or support roles, and there are several characters across Persona 3, 4, and 5 with notable Agility.
6 Morgana (Mona)
Personas: Zorro, Mercurius, Diego
Morgana leads the pack in Persona 5/Royal with well-rounded stats and a Skill Pool rich in magic (Garu Skills) and healing spells. His standout ability is Salvation, a potent spell that fully restores HP and cures status ailments for the entire party.
Despite his low Endurance, Morgana's above-average Agility makes him ideal for the healer role, ensuring quick team recovery. Players may opt to replace him with characters like Makoto or Joker, but his swift turn is advantageous for immediate healing.
5 Kasumi Yoshizawa (Violet)
Personas: Cendrillon, Vanadis, Ella
Yoshizawa, introduced in Persona 5 Royal, excels in learning potent Bless and Physical Skills. Her high Agility ensures an early turn in battle, and her role as the team's Bless attacker is crucial. With her agility advantage, she can efficiently Down enemies, especially in critical hit scenarios.
While Yoshizawa's Endurance is low, her strategic playability shines in the third semester/True Ending path, where her frontline presence maximizes her combat effectiveness.
4 Ken Amada
Personas: Nemesis, Kala-Nemi
Ken, known for his speed in Persona 3 Reload, boasts a blend of Magic and Support Skills, making him a versatile unit. His high Agility ensures swift actions, allowing him to buff the team before enemies strike.
While Ken lacks specialization in physical attacks or magic, his all-around skill set proves valuable in battle. Players may prefer Akihiko for Zio Skills, but Ken's agility advantage offers early turn opportunities for team support.
Agility: 70
3 Yosuke Hanamura
Personas: Jiraiya, Susano-o, Takehaya Susano-o
Yosuke, akin to Ken, offers well-rounded stats in Persona 4 Golden, specializing in Wind/Garu Skills and valuable Support Skills. His high Agility grants him the advantage of early turns, facilitating team buffs and support actions.
While Yosuke's versatility aids the team's progression, later additions like Yukiko and Teddie can outshine him in specific roles. Despite this, Yosuke's swift agility remains a significant asset in battle, ensuring prompt actions and strategic advantages.
2 Chie Satonaka
Personas: Tomoe, Suzuka Gongen, Haraedo-no-Okami
Chie's Ice Skills are pivotal in combat, especially during the Shadow Yukiko boss fight in Persona 4 Golden. While her Physical Skills and Bufula are potent, her low SP and average HP pose challenges, requiring strategic resource management in battles.
Although Chie's exclusive skill, Dragon Hustle, offers team-wide buffs, its SP cost limits its frequent usage. Players may find Kanji or Teddie more effective in certain scenarios, given their skill sets. Despite these drawbacks, Chie's high Agility ensures swift turns in battle, providing tactical advantages.
1 Koromaru
Persona: Cerberus
Koromaru, with the highest Agility among party members in Persona 3/4/5, excels in swift actions and support roles. While lacking in other stats compared to teammates, his quick turn in battle allows for efficient item use and strategic maneuvers, making him a valuable asset on the team.
Despite his limited skill set, Koromaru's agility advantage positions him as a key member for fast-paced battles, where timely buffs and tactical plays can turn the tide in favor of the party.
