Unlocked once the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad receives the new gear on June 13, Theurgy is a powerful skill exclusive to each party member, which is activated by loading a special cartridge into their Evoker and summoning their Personas.
Gameplay-wise, Theurgy skills can only be initiated by filling the respective combatant's "Theurgy Gauge". The gauge can be filled by performing actions such as melee attacks and Persona skills. Depending on the party member, certain actions will increase their gauge faster.https://p-ch.jp/news/11372/ In addition, ambushing, unlocked via the Security Site Note when used on the computer, also increases the protagonist's Theurgy Gauge slightly.
The gauge carries over after a battle is finished but resets daily. Each party member begins a new exploration with a random amount in their gauge. The gauge is cut in half if the combatant faints and is then revived. While under the effect of an ailment, the gauge does not increase, and Theurgy skills cannot be used.
Theurgy skills cannot miss.https://www.famitsu.com/news/202310/05319339.html Offensive attacks ignore elemental resistances and physical/magic walls. Criticals and weakness exploits grant One More.
The protagonist, as a Wild Card wielder, has access to multiple Theurgy skills by summoning certain Persona duos that have been registered in his Compendium: the mechanic acts as a substitute for fusion spells by lifting its skill pool. In his final battle against SEES on January 31, Takaya Sakaki also possesses an Evoker and deploys his own Theurgy.
After evolving their Persona, each party member gains a second Theurgy skill. Uniquely, Koromaru possesses 2 skills right when he joins the team. Fuuka, as a navigator, instead has her current Theurgy replaced by an upgraded version when she gains Juno. On the other hand, Shinjiro Aragaki, for plot reasons, can only have one Theurgy.
