Summary
One thing that’s great about thePersona 3 ReloadDLC Personas is that you can use them as soon as you have access to the Velvet Room. All you have to do is summon them into your inventory, and you’re good to go.
Of course, because there is limited space in your inventory, you can’t have all of them at once, so it’s good to prioritize which ones you’d rather have. It doesn’t matter what level they are; you can use them immediately. Of course, they do come with a warning from Elizabeth that they’re from another’s adventure, but they’re just too strong to ignore.

Ann Takamaki
Given that Ann is the second playable character you get — aside from Morgana, inPersona 5, it’s interesting to note that Carmen is a slightly higher level than Captain Kidd. Still, she’s slightly more useless than Captain Kidd, given that you start off with two different Persona users who can deal fire damage.
Both Junpei and Orpheus can easily wield fire damage, so unless you’re in a pinch or you just don’t like Orpheus that much, there are better DLC Persona choices because you probably won’t need her — especially at level 19.

Morgana
If only you could give personas to other characters because Zorro would probably bemore useful in the hands of Yukari Takeba. Sure, being able to have more than one person deal wind damage is nice, but there are just better options from the Persona 5 Royal — Set 1 DLC.
It’s good to have a diverse array of damage at hand, and when your inventory is small, you need to be careful about what you choose. Doubling up on certain types of elemental damage isn’t a good use for that inventory space.

Ryuji Sakamoto
Captain Kidd would be the weakest DLC Persona, but his access to electric abilities bumps him up higher on the list. Electricity isn’t terribly difficult to access, but Captain Kidd makes it a lot easier to use. Plus, he won’t be as difficult to level up if you use him consistently.
The best thing about Captain Kidd is that he doesn’t immediately throw the balance of every battle out the window if you decide to redeem him in the early game. Of course, this Persona’s weakness to Wind damagedoes make it a bit of a liability in the early levels of Tartarus.

Protagonist
Arsene is genuinely a great option because it gives you access to a harder-to-obtain damage type: Dark damage. When you reach the second block of Tartarus, Arqa, you should be able to obtain a persona that deals Bless damage relatively easily.
Dark damage is harder to get your hands on, but the Persona 5 Royal — Set 1 DLC gives you immediate access to it after purchase. And, given that there aren’t a lot of shadows that deal Bless damage, you should be relatively safe to have Arsene equipped.

Yusuke Kitagawa
Given that Goemon is at a notably higher level than the other Persona 5 Royal Set 1 Personas, it only stands to reason that it would be a more useful Persona. What’s even better is that Goemon is a strong Ice Persona, which puts it a step above the others of the same level.
Being able to deal medium Ice damage with Bufula, even if it’s only to one target, can change the game. Of course, at level 27, Goemon is going to make the early levels of Tartarus a breeze to get through, too.

Given that Nuclear damage isn’t really a thing in Persona 3 Reload, it’s a bit surprising to see that they would include Johanna at all. Yet, Johanna is still here and rolling, albeit with an adjusted skillset so she fits into the world better.
Rather than her traditional Nuclear skills, Johanna boasts Herculean Strike in her repertoire, which deals medium physical damage to all enemies. Although physical damage isn’t likely to be a weak link for a lot of enemies, it’s still a powerful punch.

Haru Okumura
Milday is… okay for a DLC persona. She’s certainly not the best, but she’s also not the worst one out there, courtesy of being a pretty good support Persona with some decent skills. Torrent Shot deals piercing damage up to four teams, meaning that you have a good chance of dealing a notable amount of damage in one turn.
Amrita Drop can heal one ally of all non-special status ailments, which can come in handy on a few occasions. Aside from all that, her high level makes her okay for a DLC Persona, and sometimes, that’s good enough.
Kasumi Yoshizawa
Cendrillion is a moderately useful persona courtesy of her immunity to Bless damage — though the weakness to Dark damage may end up biting you at some point. Her access to Makouga, which deals medium Bless damage to all enemies makes it all worth it in the end, though.
She doesn’t offer any support skills through healing like other Personas would, but her strong offense makes for a great defense. If you can down the enemies before they can touch you, then you’re probably doing just fine.
34
Marie
Kaguya is the weakest Persona from thePersona 4 GoldenDLC; however, it isn’t the weakest Persona overall and has some pretty great stats. While resistant to wind damage, Kaguya is completely immune to Bless and Dark damage.
That alone makes Kaguya a great persona to have on hand, especially since it can deal Bless Damage and Heal with the Shining Arrows and Mediarama skill. Shining Arrows deals light Bless damage to all enemies and Mediarama restores a medium amount of HP to your party.

Goro Akechi
Robin Hood is definitely the best Persona 5 Royal - Set 1 persona, and he makes the entire DLC pack worth it. This is partially because of his ability to wield both Bless and Dark damage through the skills Kouga and Eiga.
Both of these skills deal their respective damage types at a medium level to a single enemy, and both of these damage types are harder to obtain than the elemental damage. Yes, as a higher-level Persona, it will be harder to rank Robin Hood up, but he’s a good one to have and use.
