Mothman is a Persona of the Hermit Arcana inPersona 3 Reload, and it’s also required to complete one of Elizabeth’s Requests. Even if you never use Mothman for battling, this Persona can be used in various fusions to make potentially stronger Personas for the late-game phase. What makes Mothman different from most Personas is its unlock requirement. You’ll need something called a Vibrant Feather to obtain Mothman’s fusion recipes inPersona 3 Reload. Fortunately, this key item is guarded by one of the Gatekeepers in Tartarus, so it’s impossible to miss. With it, you can fuse Mothman to complete Request 35 - Fusion Series #3: Hermit, Mothman.

Recommended Skills
If you’re lacking a Persona with an Almighty Skill, then you can use Mothman.Megido isn’t the strongest Almighty Skill, but it’s useful in a brand-new playthrough (not NG+). Almighty Skills cannot be repelled, so they’re great to use on enemies that have Affinity Resistances. If you’re wary of Mothman’s Affinity Weaknesses, then there are Skill Cards that can give itresistance to Pierce or Ice. Since Mothman’s Magic stat is higher than its Physical, it’s recommended to have its main method of attacking be with Affinity Skills. Zionga can be replaced withZiodyne(Skill Card) or evenMazionga/Maziodyne. If you have Dark Skill Cards, thenMaeigaworks, too. It’s recommended to use Electric/Dark Skills since Mothman repels both Affinities. This means if the enemy repels electric/dark, the protagonist won’t be damaged if he has Mothman equipped since it, too, repels electric/dark.
