Best Revelation Card for Wonder in Persona 5: The Phantom X

The protagonist in Persona 5: The Phantom X is a jack of all trades. He can take on the role of a DPS or dominate as a support, based on the player's preference. However, you cannot equip any Revelation Card on him.

ATLUS has given the protagonist a skill tree, which unlocks crucial stats for the character. Additionally, his Personas can use up to six passives. Hence, Wonder doesn’t really need the Revelation Cards. The good thing is, you have less randomness to worry about while building the main character of P5X.

Best weapons for Wonder in Persona 5: The Phantom X

Wonder currently has access to two daggers in the game, namely the Sennight Inferno and All In. Here are the passives offered by the weapons:

• Sennight Inferno: Increase the wearer’s Attack by 28.0%. The weapon also boosts the character's damage by 6.0% for each Persona of a different attribute equipped, stacking up to three times. Knocking down a foe with the Sennight Inferno equipped will decrease the target's Defense by 15.0% for a turn.
• All In: Increase healing and shield by 20.0%. The weapon rolls with an Aura effect that boosts the entire party's Defense by 15.0% when the user is on the field. Using a skill on an ally will also restore 10.0% of the main target's max HP.

The Sennight Inferno is clearly the best dagger to equip on Wonder given the additional damage it offers to the wearer. The weapon is perfect for a DPS build, as it also makes the enemy take increased damage.

However, the game has multiple DPS characters to begin with. Therefore, you might want to use Wonder as a support unit. The All In will be the best pick for the defensive role, as it reduces the damage received by the party and restores ally’s HP whenever necessary.

Skill priority

Wonder has a skill tree instead of specific abilities, with each node unlocking unique buffs for the character. You can use Schema Points to level up the branches. At the beginning, unlock passives that increase his base stats like ATK, HP, and DEF. Crit Rate and Crit Damage Up are also crucial attributes for Wonder.

Once you reach the bottom of the tree, prioritize Thief Tactics and Persona Skills.
