The term “Hierophant” is derived from the Greek words “Hieros”, which means “Sacred”, and “Phainein”, which means “Reveal”. As one would expect from the etymology, this term is used to describe religious figures who study the past and have a relationship with a higher power. As such, it is used for the tarot card that pertains to clandestine holy knowledge, obedience to greater beings, and a connection to the divine.
In Persona 5 Royal, the Major Arcana named after this tarot card is full of beings from across the world’s vast and diverse histories, religions, and folklore. They often manifest as figures linked to education, theological references, as well as saints and gods. These personas are some of the best for support and healing skills, though many can be very useful for an offense as well.
7 Berith
Although Berith is a demon written about in the grimoire known as The Lesser Key of Solomon, he is not an evil monster, despite being a known liar. He has powers of divination and transmutation, which he can offer to those who summon him…if he wants.
Some references say that he was once a prince among the Cherubim, a choir of angels. In battle, this level 9 demon can use lightly damaging physical attacks and has a couple of physically-oriented buffs to aid the party. They can be fused from Incubus and Jack-o’-Lantern for $5,959.
6 Orobas
Another demon mentioned in The Lesser Key of Solomon, Orobas is a great deal more honest to his summoner than Berith. In addition to revealing knowledge of things that have passed as well as things to come, he possesses great reconciliation skills.
He has a buff that can raise Agility, though is better used for his Fire attack that lightly damages all foes. He also has a support skill that negates the enemies’ resistance to Fire damage. This level 17 horse-man can be fused from Apsaras and Succubus for $11,152.
5 Anzu
This powerful predatory god sought sacred knowledge, though was foiled in their attempt to claim control of the universe using the sacred tablets by the other gods of this pantheon. As one can glean from their winged form, they possess a moderately damaging Wind skill, though their heavy physical one is often more potent.
Anzu, the level 25 persona, also has an automatic skill that prevents them from being afflicted with the “Forget” status condition. They can be formed from Black Ooze and Matador for $25,255.
4 Daisoujou
Contrary to their in-game description, Daisoujou is actually a title, not a name. It refers to Buddhist monks who have died during sacred fasting while entombed alive with just enough space to sit cross-legged. After being mummified, they are revered as deities who have transcended mortality.
Throughout the Persona series, Daisoujou has possessed the unique and extremely powerful Samsara skill, which has a high chance of instantly killing all foes simultaneously. This mighty level 40 monk can be fused by merging Isis and Sui-ki at a cost of $44,398.
3 Mishaguji
This worm-like god hails from ancient Japanese mythology and was said to bring great love and fertility to those who left him offerings. Mishaguji has the useful passive skill, Regenerate 3, which recovers 6% of his maximum health every turn while in battle, allowing him to use even more physical attacks to assail foes.
They can unleash a severe Gun-type attack that has a high chance of dealing critical damage. This level 52 persona can be called upon by polymerizing Girimehkala and Hell Biker for $101,260.
2 Bishamonten
As the most powerful of the Heavenly Kings in Buddhist mythology, it would make sense that Bishamonten would appear near the higher ranks of personas in this game at level 67. He possesses heavily damaging Nuclear skills as well as a colossally damaging physical one aptly known as God’s Hand.
Additionally, he can fully heal an ally with the Diarahan support skill for only 50% of its usual SP cost thanks to his Savior Bloodline trait. He can be summoned by fusing Ganesha and Jatayu for the price of $163,468.
1 Kohryu
This level 76 shining yellow dragon is said to be the most powerful out of all Hierophant Arcana personas as well as all of the celestial beasts and presides over the element of earth in Chinese lore. In their Persona 5 Royal incarnation, Kohryu possesses some of the most devastating Psychic skills and tactics in the whole game. In addition to having heavy and severe attacks from this element, they have some passive skills that multiply their efficiency in this regard.
Two of these are the Psy Amp skill, which strengthens Psychic attacks by a sizable 50%, and the one known as Spell Master, which halves the SP cost of all magic attacks, allowing this mighty heavenly drake to unleash an untold number of fierce telekinetic assaults. Before one can summon them, however, the player will need to max out their social link with Sojiro Sakura, who is the confidant for the Hierophant Arcana. Following this, Kohryu can only be fused by merging the personas that represent the other four celestial beasts: Seiryu, Byakko, Suzaku, and Genbu. This will come at the cost of $191,666.
