Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Persona Summoning: The ability to summon and utilize Personas. Personas can move and attack independently of their users, allowing for concurrent attacks to be performed. They are summoned and directed through thought and instinct, and most attacks manifest just as quickly and are controlled through the same means; and it should be noted that Personas do not need to be summoned in order to use their skills. Each Persona has a unique set of statistics and elemental affinities, which also apply to their user while the Persona is equipped. Tatsuya's Initial Persona is Vulcanus, his evolved Persona is Vulcanus Prime, and his Ultimate Persona is Apollo. Although Tatsuya can use multiple Personas in a manner akin to the Wild Cards of the later games, he typically prefers his personal Personas, due to having the highest Affinity with them.
Persona Skills: Personas are all able to use skills and spells related to the stories/mythologies of the figure they are based on. Persona-users and their Personas can use skills and spells independently of each other. These skills range from amplified physical attacks, highly-malleable elemental attacks, status buffs and debuffs, ailment infliction, passive defenses and more, can manifest instantly and with a thought, as well as affect the mind, soul, information and concept of the target.
