Dominion P 5 X — Stats, Skills & How to Get It in Persona 5: The Phantom X

Dominion is a 5-star buffer-type Persona in Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X), ranked in the game's Tier VII band, and the same angel also appears as a Justice Arcana Persona in Persona 5 Royal. In P5X it fills a support niche: a Bless-aligned "Buffer" unit that exists to prop up your damage dealers rather than deal damage itself, with base stats of 253 HP, 56 ATK and 46 DEF at level 1 per the Samurai Gamers persona database. If you pulled one and are wondering where it fits, or you're just trying to complete your persona collection, this page covers everything.

Per the official Persona5: The Phantom X Steam store page, P5X is the free-to-play Persona 5 spin-off where personas are obtained through the gacha "Contracts" system rather than the Velvet Room fusion of the mainline games — which is why "how to get" a specific persona like Dominion works differently here.

What Is Dominion in P5X?

In P5X, Dominion is one of the "normal personas" — as opposed to a Phantom Thief or Phantom Idol character with a fixed persona — and it can be used by the protagonist Wonder. Its stat profile is that of a Buffer: the game's persona compendium (per Samurai Gamers' Dominion persona guide) lists its role as Buffer, its rank as 5★, and its overall tier as Tier VII. The base level-1 stats are HP 253 / ATK 56 / DEF 46, which tells you exactly how it plays: it's not a bruiser. Buffers in P5X exist to hand out attack/defense buffs and utility early in a fight so your 5★ attackers can clear waves faster.

That tier rating matters for pull planning: Tier VII is a strong but not top-of-meta placement, and Dominion is generally considered a "nice to have" support rather than a must-pull. It competes with other 5★ normal personas for the same banner slots, so check the current banner schedule before spending tickets on it.

How to Get Dominion in P5X

P5X obtains personas through Contracts (the gacha banners) and limited events. A normal persona like Dominion can show up in:

• Persona/character Contract banners — the rate-up "Most Wanted" banners that rotate every two weeks or so. Dominion appears as a non-featured 5★ in the general pool on some servers and as a rate-up pick during specific events.
• Event rewards — P5X regularly hands out select personas through login campaigns and event shops (for example, the version updates that celebrate anniversaries have historically given out free persona/character selections).

Dominion's Lore — The Angel Who Oversees Angels

Dominion comes from the Christian angelic hierarchy, and the series has used the same lore blurb for decades. In the P5/P5R compendium and the P5X persona index, the entry reads: "The fourth of the nine orders of angels. Their duty is to oversee the other angels. Their actions are the manifestation of God's will." In the angelic hierarchy of Pseudo-Dionysius, Dominions (also called Lordships) are part of the second sphere and are said to regulate the duties of lesser angels; Maimonides placed them fourth in his Jewish angelic order as hashmallim.

That's why the design works so well as a support persona: it's the bureaucrat angel that coordinates the choir, not the frontline fighter. The Megami Tensei Wiki's Dominion page tracks the demon across the entire franchise — it first appeared in Shin Megami Tensei II and has been a recurring Divine-race demon and Justice Arcana persona ever since, including Persona 3, Persona 4, and both Persona 5 versions.

Dominion in Persona 5 & Persona 5 Royal

If you've played P5R, you've already met Dominion — it just wasn't a gacha pull. In Persona 5 Royal Dominion is a Justice Arcana persona at level 68, with the Shadow name "Merciless Inquisitor":

• Where you find it — as an enemy Shadow in the Depths of Mementos (Qliphoth World); in Royal, three Dominions ambush the party at the Quarantine Cell, and it also spawns on the Path of Da'at.
• Affinities — in Royal it's weak to Electricity (the vanilla game made it weak to Gun), nulls Bless, repels Nuclear, and resists Curse.
• Skill progression — starts with Makajamaon, Hamaon and Kougaon, then learns Makougaon (70), Hama Boost (71), Mahamaon (72) and Evade Curse (74). Its trait is Blessed Bloodline, and itemizing it yields a Makougaon skill card (a Divine Judgement card during a fusion alarm).
• How to get it as a persona — recruit it as a Shadow or fuse it; its natural fusion recipes start from Justice Arcana pairs. Since it's one of only two personas that drop Makougaon cards regardless of method, it's a popular fusion target for blessing builds.

The List of Persona 5 Royal Personas on the Megami Tensei Wiki confirms its level, arcana and location. The takeaway: Dominion has been a dependable mid-tier Bless unit for three Persona generations, and P5X just reimagines it as a gacha support. For the broader roster, our Persona 5 persona list guide covers every arcana, and if you're deciding between the two games, Persona 5 vs Royal explains the content differences.

Is Dominion Worth Pulling in P5X?

Honest answer: only if you need a support persona. Dominion's value is as a roster depth piece:

• Good — 5★ stats, solid Bless coverage for the content that demands it, and Buffer utility fits most teams without investment.
• Not great — it doesn't define a meta like the top-tier Phantom Thieves, its raw damage is low (ATK 56 at level 1), and the support role is crowded by other personas and characters.
• Reasonable comp — pair it with a single-target assassin and a sweeper; it shines most in fights where buff uptime decides whether your attackers survive a boss's scripted turn.

If you're rerolling or planning pulls, this matters less than who's on the current rate-up banner — see our P5X banners guide for the live schedule, and the P5X characters guide for the Phantom Thieves worth saving for.
