Persona 3 Reload Theurgy Attacks: How to Unlock and Charge

Persona 3 Reload is far more than just Persona 3 with shinier graphics. It introduces whole new mechanics to the mix. One of these is a battle mechanic called Theurgy attacks, which can turn the tide of any battle. These powerful abilities allow SEES members to unleash ultimate attacks on their enemies. In this guide, we explore how to unlock and charge Persona 3 Reload Theurgy attacks.

Unlocking Theurgy Attacks in Persona 3 Reload

You can unlock Theurgy attacks in Persona 3 Reload on June 13th, the same day you obtain the new SEES outfits exclusive to the remake. As you progress through the main story events and side activities with SEES, you’ll unlock new Theurgy attacks and Personality traits.

Once unlocked, you will find the Theurgy attack gauge next to each character’s face and health in the battle UI. The color of the gauge indicates its charge level. When the gauge is full, you can press R2/RT on your controller to access the Theurgy menu and unleash the powerful attacks.

Charging Theurgy Attacks in Persona 3 Reload

Each character in Persona 3 Reload charges their Theurgy attack in a unique way, based on their personality traits. Here’s how each character charges their Theurgy gauge:
