Gameplay

The protagonist selecting Cadenza

Makoto Yuki selecting Cadenza after his Theurgy gauge has reached its maximum capacity

For a character to use a Theurgy, their Theurgy gauge must be completely filled. The fill conditions differ between each member of S.E.E.S.:

Character	Fill condition	In-game description
Makoto Yuki	Use any skill^[2]	After summoning a Persona, power within gradually enhances.
Yukari Takeba	Use any healing-attribute skill^[2]	After healing someone, her desire to prevent death strengthens.
Junpei Iori	Land a critical hit^[2]	After landing a critical hit, he becomes motivated by his own potential.
Akihiko Sanada	Have any active buff (-kaja spells, Charge, or Concentrate) when ready to act	After strengthening himself, his fighting spirit rises.^[a]
Fuuka Yamagishi	Discover enemy weaknesses	After analyzing an enemy, her yearning for her friends' trust grows.
Mitsuru Kirijo	Lower the enemy's stats or successfully inflict an ailment	After weakening enemies or inflicting an ailment, her will burns brighter.
Aigis	Use any physical-attribute skill	After using physical skills, her drive to complete her mission intensifies.
Ken Amada	Have less than 50% of maximum SP	Once his SP is less than half, his competitiveness is incited.
Koromaru	Hit an enemy weakness	After exploiting an enemy's weakness, his will to fight grows.
Shinjiro Aragaki	Have less then 50% of maximum HP	Once his HP is less than half, his determination ignites.

Once their gauge is full, a character can unleash a Theurgy. Theurgies do not consume HP or SP, but will leave the Theurgy gauge completely empty after they are used.

Fuuka's Theurgy gauge cannot be physically seen, both in battle and out of, but the game will prompt you when it fills up. It's also the only Theurgy that can be used on everyones turn, not just the character's one.

Characteristics

Characteristics are passive buffs that each character can unlock. Aside from the protagonist, to unlock them you must pass enough time doing activities with them at Iwatodai Dorm. Each party member has two activities. Doing one activity three times will unlock their characteristic. Doing their other activity three times will unlock their upgraded characteristic.

For example, the protagonist can watch TV with Koromaru, or brush Koromaru. After either brushing him three times or watching TVs with him three times, Koromaru will learn Auto-Sukukaja. The activities cannot be mixed and matched; brushing Koromaru two times and watching TV with him once will not give him a characteristic.

The main character gains Characteristic the more persona he fuses.
