Hermit Arcana (IX)

The Hermit Arcana often have persona that are solitary in nature. When summoned, the card that appears reveals an old man holding a lantern in the darkness. If one refers to the Tarot definition of the Hermit Arcana, it is associated with wisdom. However, they also represent introspection, solitude, retreat and philosophical searches.

However in the game, those under the Hermit Arcana specialize in Mental Ailments. They use a variety of condition attacks that turn the tides of battle in your favour. Despite this however, the chance of the ailment landing on an enemy can be low. Thus, not many people use these persona. However, some of them have good skills. Aharabaki uses Tetrakarn which can stall time during a boss fight if anything. They also inherit attacks from their fusion material persona.

People who represent the Hermit are more intrapersonal. These people keep to themselves; as much as possible, they play support rather confront. However, they do eventually open up to the protagonist. For Persona 5’s Hermit Confidant, you have Futaba Sakura.
