Persona 5: The Phantom X upcoming banner schedule

With the global release of P5X seemingly running updates a lot quicker than the Chinese version did when it first launched, there has been a lot of speculation over whether we’ll be seeing the limited-time banners come around faster, too. Naturally, there are a bunch of highly anticipated characters on their way, from original members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to the original characters we’ve already gotten to know in-game, and people want to know what they should be saving up all their currency for.

We’ve got a rundown of what the upcoming banners are expected to be up until Version 2.0, along with when they’re expected to run. Note that these days are not set in stone, and may shift a bit as the update schedule unfolds – for more on that, check out our rundown of the P5X update roadmap.

Summer Moko - October 9 - November 10

Asumming these summer outfits are split across two updates like they were on the Chinese version, that means we'll have to wait an extra two weeks to get summer Moko, who still uses the Psy element, but has some different skills that make her a healing-focused unit instead of a debuff-focused one.

Rerun - Mirian - October 16 - October 30

The best healer currently available in the game is up for grabs again for a limited time. However, it's worth mentioning that Mirian is planned to be added to the standard draw pool at some point soon, likely some time in December or January, so it might be worth waiting for that instead.

Kira Kitazato (Messa) - October 23 - November 24

Once the out-of-season summer event is done, we'll be getting Messa, a fairly strong Physical-focused unit that unleashed several strikes that stack up Bleed on his targets, causing them to gradually take more damage over time, making him great for wearing down multiple foes, despite what his classification as Assassin might suggest.

Rerun - Bui - October 30 - November 13

The reruns continue with Bui making her return. While she's not the most spectacular character she does have heaps of personality and can fill a slot on an Electric-based team if you need one, so consider picking her up if you didn't the first time around.

Futaba Sakura (Oracle) - November 6

By this point it will have been quite a while since a new member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts is added to the game, but it's worth the wait, as Futaba is easily one of the best Navi units in the game, able to remove elemental resistances and turning neutral elements into weaknesses, letting you massively increase your damage potential.

Masaki Ashiya (Cherish) - November 20

Cherish is a staunch wall of a unit. He deals heavy damage based on his Defense while being able to set up shields for his allies, something which the current roster is severaly lacking, so it's going to be worth going out of your way to get your hands on this unit.

Haru Okumura (Noir) - December 4

With this update we'll complete the core group of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, as we'll finally get our hands on a strong offensive-focused Psy unit in Noir, who will remain as one of the game's strongest Sweeper units for quite a while after she's added.
