Persona 5 The Phantom X, like other gacha games, lets you pull characters from different banners, called "Contracts" here. These help you beef up your Phantom Thieves crew with a mix of familiar and fresh faces, plus new Personas for Wonder to use.
Right now, the game has two main banners (and a temporary one for new players). There's a limited-time banner with an exclusive character and better odds for specific characters, and a standard banner with a broad selection of characters (except those featured in limited banners) and Personas.
What are the Current Banners in Persona 5 The Phantom X?
Event Banner/Dream Pick/Random Spotlight Banner
The current Spotlight Banner, "The Phantom Magician," features Joker/Ren Amamiya as the 5-Star Phantom Idol. It also boosts chances for 4-Star characters: Cattle/Luffel, Moko/Tomoko Noge, and Fleuret/Seiji Shiratori. Joker’s a top-tier damage dealer, stacking Will of Rebellion from his attacks to crank up his damage and wipe out enemies with Curse Element moves.
Cattle’s a Fire-Element Medic you probably know already. Extra copies unlock Awareness levels, letting them, say, burn enemies at the start of a fight or boost healing for allies with the Starfire II buff.
Moko, a Psi-Element Strategist, focuses on pumping up allies’ attack damage and status accuracy, while putting enemies to sleep and making them take more damage from the next hit. Fleuret, a Wind-Element Assassin, lowers enemy defense, boosts his own attack and speed, and unleashes a flurry of multi-hit attacks aiming for criticals.
Standard Banner/Phantom X Idol Draft
The Phantom X Idol Draft is the game’s always-available Standard Banner, offering a wide range of Phantom Thieves/Phantom Idols and some Personas. It won’t include characters from Event Banners, though.
After 300 pulls on this banner, you can pick one of these five characters as a guaranteed bonus: Mona/Morgana, Skull/Ryuji, Panther/Ann, Rin/Yaoling Li, or Riddle/Haruna.
What are the Next Banners in Persona 5 The Phantom X?
Nothing’s been officially confirmed about upcoming banners yet, but online sources say a banner for Marian/Minami Miyashita is coming in July, running for a few weeks. A Yui/Bui banner is also expected to start around the same time and last a full month, similar to the Joker Banner.
There’ll be some overlap, with these new banners kicking off just before the Joker Banner wraps up.
Marian’s a Bless Attribute Medic, and Yui’s a Lightning Attribute Assassin. Heads up: Marian will join the standard banner after her event ends, but Yui will only pop up in event banners featuring her.
