Excited to build your own team of Phantom Thieves? Then, it might be time to pull on the current Persona 5 The Phantom X banners! Following its global release, 4 banners are currently live in the game. Here’s a complete guide to each one, including featured characters, drop rates, and more.
Persona 5 The Phantom X Banners: Contract System
Are you familiar with other popular gacha mobile games like HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail? If yes, then you might grow familiar with the banner system for P5X pretty quickly.
To start there are two currencies you can use to get the tickets you need for the “contracts”. These are Meta Jewels (earned through gameplay) and Cognition Crystals (purchased with real money). After you convert them into tickets, you can then pull from the corresponding banner/contract.
For character contracts, you need to convert 150 currencies for 1 ticket or 1,500 currencies for 10 tickets. Meanwhile, weapon contracts only need 100 currencies for 1 ticket or 1,000 for 10 tickets. Exchanging for 10 tickets in one go is generally preferred, as every 10 pulls guarantee at least one 4-star character or weapon from the contracts.
Limited-Time Character Banner: “The Phantom Magician”
The spotlight banner for June features Joker (Ren Amamiya) as the main 5-star character. This banner is a must-pull for longtime Persona fans, as Joker is a powerful damage dealer who stacks Will of Rebellion to unleash devastating Curse-element attacks.
Banner Period: June 26 to July 23, 2025
Drop Rates and Pity:
- 5-star character: 0.8%
- 4-star character: 6.2%
- 2-star character: 93%
- Pity: Guaranteed 5-star at 80 pulls
The first 5-star has a 50% chance of being Joker. If players miss him initially, the next 5-star pull guarantees his arrival. That means if players really want to secure Joker, they need to prepare 160 tickets in case their first 5-star isn’t him.
The banner also boosts rates for several 4-star characters:
- Cattle (Lufel) – Fire-element support with burn and healing boosts
- Moko (Tomoko Noge) – Psi support that increases ally damage and causes sleep
- Fleuret (Seiji Shiratori) – Wind assassin with crit-focused multi-hit skills
Standard Banner: “Phantom X Idol Draft”
This is the permanent contract out of all Persona 5 The Phantom X banners. It doesn’t feature time-limited characters like Joker. Instead, it includes the 5-star characters you’re more likely to get if you lose the 50/50 for the time-limited character you’re pulling for.
The Standard Banner has the same drop rates as the Limited-Time Banner. Additionally, after 300 pulls, you can choose one free 5-star from the following:
- Morgana
- Ryuji Sakamoto
- Ann Takamaki
- Yaoling Li
- Haruna Nishimori
Weapon Banner
Alongside character banners, Persona 5 The Phantom X banners include weapon contracts. These allow you to target strong gear for your characters. It has slightly different drop rates and pity systems on top of the difference between the currency-to-ticket conversion.
- 5-star weapon: 0.8%
- 4-star weapon: 8%
- 3-star weapon: 91.2%
- Pity: 70 pulls guarantees a 5-star weapon
You can set your preferred weapon, which will get a 50% chance of being the 5-star weapon you pull. The other two options will then get a 25% chance each.
Newcomer Banner
This is a special and limited-time contract which would expire after you get your reward from it. This is exclusive to newcomers, to help them accelerate their progress. It’s a great deal if you’ve just started your Phantom Thief journey.
A 10-pull in this banner is discounted, costing you only 8 Gold Tickets (instead of the usual 10). 50 pulls guarantees your choice of one 5-star from the core group:
- Ryuji Sakamoto
- Morgana
- Ann Takamaki
What’s Next?
Leaked schedules suggest two new Persona 5 The Phantom X banners are arriving in July:
- Marian (Minami Miyashita) – A Bless-type healer expected to join the standard pool post-event.
- Yui (Bui) – A Lightning-type assassin that will be event-exclusive
If you’re saving your Meta Jewels or Gold/Platinum Tickets, it might be smart to hold off until these next banners drop—unless you’re aiming for Joker right now.
Conclusion
Well, that’s all the currently active Persona 5 The Phantom X banners for June 2025. The next one will arrive in July, most likely immediately after the current limited-time contract ends.
Are you pulling for the original Persona 5 protagonist, Joker? Or will you save your tickets and wait for the upcoming contracts for other characters? With frequent updates and rotating banners, staying informed will ensure you don’t miss your chance to recruit top-tier Phantom Thieves. Keep checking back for the latest contract updates each month!
