Quick Links
One Persona that you may want to consider adding to your lineup in the earlier game ofPersona 3 Reloadis Matador. He’s a Persona of the Strength Arcana, meaning you can bring him along when you’re working on the Strength Social Link to get an extra Social Link point. Matador works best as a physical fighter and has some decent Physical Skills to back him up. His moderate Agility also makes him ideal for the beginning blocks of Tartarus. As you progress through yourPersona 3 Reloadplaythrough, you can swap him out for stronger Personas. However, Matador can also be used in various fusions to make stronger Personas, so he’s one you’ll want to unlock as soon as possible.
