Here are some things to note about the Personas in Persona 3 Reload:

• Normal Fusion and Special Fusion are a surefire way to unlock new Persona in Persona 3 Reload depending on your character levels, but there are times that you can also unlock Persona from Shuffle Time, which is more randomized.
• There is also the case of Fusion Fail, which is very rare, but if you are lucky, you can unlock some absurdly high-level Persona by fusing low-tier Personas. In our Persona 3 Reload playthrough, we did manage to unlock Decarabia, Loki, and Satan with Fusion Fail.
• The Personas from DLC bundles are very powerful and have their own exclusive skills, both active and passive.
