Best Revelation Cards for Joker in Persona 5: The Phantom X

Ren's best Revelation Card in P5X is a 4-piece Ruin set. Equipping two of these cards allows you to deal increased cursed damage, and a complete set will increase your skill's power. It is the best set for Ren, and you can farm it from the Words of Serenity Revelation Card challenge.

Best Weapons for Joker in Persona 5: The Phantom X

When it comes to equipping Ren with a weapon, there are not a lot of choices available. Here are the 5-star and 4-star options that you can use.

Weapon (Image via ATLUS)

• 5-star - Phoenix Dagger (At Rank 1): Increase Attack by 30.0%. After gaining Will of Rebellion, increase Ren's Curse damage by 10.0% for 2 turns. Stacks up to 3 times. At 3 or more Will of Rebellion stacks, increase Ren's next damage by 23.0%.
• 4-Star - Machete (At Rank 1): Increase Attack by 12.0%. When attacking a foe with an ailment, increase Attack by 19.1%.

If you are unable to go for the 5-star option, the Machete is the way to go, as it can buff attack based on debuffs on enemies. Given Ren relies on debuffs to deal damage, this is an excellent option.

Skill priority

Ren's Persona, Arsene, specializes in dealing Eiha or Curse damage. Here is how you should invest in his skills:

• Skill 3 > Skill 1 > Thief Tactics > Skill 2

Sadly, unlike P5, Joker is stuck with only Arsene and does not carry multiple personas like Wonder, the protagonist of Persona 5: The Phantom X.
