Byakko is a special Persona that can be created after forming a strong bond with one of the S.E.E.S members in Persona 3 Reload. This Persona is under the Temperance Arcana, and is a great one to have in your team as you continue to adventure through the upper levels of Tartarus.

In order to fuse this Persona, you'll need to complete a few prerequisites that will take some time and effort to finish, and are time-sensitive. Though there is a lot you will need to do for Byakko, we will guide you through it and provide multiple fusion options for you to use.

Cendrillon is a DLC Persona for Persona 3 Reload, but is she worth adding to the compendium?

How to Unlock Byakko in Persona 3 Reload

To unlock the ability to fuse Byakko, you will need to complete all of Koromaru's Linked Episodes in Persona 3 Reload. Koromaru will join the S.E.E.S team on 8/8, but his Linked Episodes won't begin until around 8/22.

You can start Linked Episodes either through receiving a text, or visiting Koromaru at the front entrance of the dorm. Make sure to always check your messages, since one of the S.E.E.S members might directly ask you to check on Koromaru in front of the dorm. Don't skip over this, as you might not get the chance to complete his Linked Episodes again.

For all of Koromaru's Linked Episodes, here are the dates where they will appear to you:

  • 8/22: Linked Episode #1
  • 9/4: Linked Episode #2
  • 9/8: Linked Episode #3
  • 9/9: Linked Episode #4
  • 1/5: Linked Episode #5

After you've completed the final Linked Episode on 1/5, you will receive Koromaru's Collar from Koromaru, and you'll get a notification that says you'll now be able to fuse Byakko.

These Linked Episodes can vary in dates, so the above-mentioned dates are not set in stone. For example, you might receive the fourth Linked Episode on 9/16 instead of 9/9. There's always a chance that Koromaru's Linked Episodes will appear on a different date, so don't fret if he isn't outside the dorm those days.

How to Fuse Byakko in Persona 3 Reload

There are quite a few different combinations you can use to create Byakko. Here are a few options you can choose from:

  • Kurama Tengu (Hermit) + Hell Biker (Hanged)
  • Rangda (Magician) + Lilith (Devil)
  • Thoth (Hierophant) + Mara (Tower)
  • Dominion (Justice) + Baal Zebul (Moon)

You can either use one of the combinations above, or switch around some of the Personas used as long as they are in the same Arcana. For example, you can use just about any Justice Persona with a Moon Persona. For this guide, we will be creating the Rangda (Magician) and Lilith (Devil) combination, since we already have a guide on how to fuse Rangda, which you can use to begin creating Byakko.

Now, we will need to fuse Lilith to complete the required Personas for Byakko. Here are a few combinations you can use to create Lilith:

  • Legion (Fool) + Helel (Star)
  • Hanuman (Strength) + Sandalphon (Moon)
  • Mot (Death) + Trumpeter (Judgement)
  • Gabriel (Empress) + Bishamonten (Tower)

These are just a few examples of the Personas you can use to create Lilith. We have a guide on how to fuse Helel, so you can start on this combination with Legion to simplify the process.
