To unlock the main character’s theurgy moves in P3Reload, you have to have certain personas unlocked. So, it’s important to keep expanding the compendium. After explaining what they are and how to use them, the game gives you 1 to start with, but 6 more can be unlocked. Here’s how:

Jack Brothers

Personas you need: Jack o’Lanter, Jack Frost


Its ability: “Deals medium Almighty damage to all foes. High chance of inflicting Down.”

King and I

Personas you need: Black Frost, King Frost


Its ability: “Heavy Ice damage to all foes, ignoring resistances. Medium chance of Freeze.”

Best Friends

Personas you need: Decarabia, Forneus


Its ability: “Next physical/magic attack will deal more than double damage for 1 ally.”

Scarlet Havoc

Personas you need: Siegfried, Mithras


Its ability: “Deals severe Slash damage to all foes, ignoring resistances.”

Trickster

Personas you need: Susano-o, Loki


Its ability: “Massive Almighty damage to all foes. High chance of inflicting an ailment.”

Armageddon

Personas you need: Helel, Satan


Its ability: “Ultimate Almighty damage to all foes, but reduce’s user’s HP and SP to 1.”

Are the Theurgy Special Moves Necessary?

Necessary? No, you can get by without unlocking them or even using them. But if you’re struggling to get through Tartarus, especially the Gatekeepers, the Theurgy moves really come in handy. Regardless of the boss, its health, or how high a level it is, the Theurgy can put a sizable dent into their life bar.


On top of the Gatekeepers, they work really well on the Monad bosses. Those bosses aren’t particularly hard but when you have to fight 3 back to back, having some extra firepower doesn’t hurt.


And if you’re worried about these Theurgy moves making the experience too easy for you, you can just not use them. That’s the great thing about them.

Which Theurgy Special Move Is the Best?

The one that I pulled out the most was Scarlet Havoc. It really came in clutch when I wanted to steamroll Gatekeeper after Gatekeeper, and it’s legitimately one of the best if not the best in the game.


However, the most powerful by far is Armageddon. It does 9,999 damage to all enemies. Which sounds great, until you realize it essentially wipes out your character’s HP and SP; it completely reduces both to 1.


This isn’t really that big of a deal if you have a healer on your team, and you can regain SP if you have an invigorate ability, but it can be risky if you’re careless.

So, while the other special moves aren’t bad, for my buck, Scarlet Havoc and Armageddon are the two best Theurgy Special Moves in Persona 3 Reload.
