Masakado is a powerful Persona of the Tower Arcana. Unlike most Personas, you’ll need a special Key Item to unlock its Fusion. If you’ve been consistent with the Requests from Elizabeth, then you should have no trouble unlocking Masakado. If you’re going for 100% Compendium completion and intend on turning in every Request inPersona 3 Reload, then you’ll need to get Masakado during your playthrough.

Masakado’s base level is79, so you’ll want to make sure your level matches/is higher. It’s also recommended (albeit not necessary) that you complete the Tower Social Link (Mutatsu) beforehand. This will increase the experience that Masakado will gain upon fusion.

Weaknesses, Stats, and Skills
Masakado has a high Strength stat, but poor Agility and Luck. This means its turn will likely be last in battle. Despite this, Masakado learns decent Passive Skills that are fitting for a Physical Attacking-Persona, such as Arms Master and Unshaken Will. If you transfer Charge, then this can double the power of its next Physical Skill.
