Imagining the Phantom Thieves as Genshin characters!! (Headcannons, kit, and team ideas because I'm a nerd)

Coming from a p5 nerd and self-acclaimed genshin theorycrafter (I'm not, I just like big damage). SPOILERS FOR P5 AHEAD!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Mostly because I am procrastinating my HL essay and a documentary on Czechoslovakia that I have to do for history but :)) Enjoy!! Also idk if anyone else has done this before, if they have and you've seen it, I would appreciate a link to their post, since people will have different ideas to me!

Also if you think of any other cool teams please let me know in a comment :D

Akira Kurusu:

He'd be like the traveler - in that he can switch between elements being a wildcard and all. I feel like if he and the traveler met they'd have a Spiderman meme moment like damn you don't need a vision either? Cool.

From Inazuma (I mean they're all going to be from inazuma because Japan). But I feel like his backstory would be like he was a lowly peasant living in the countryside but had to move to inazuma city yk like im having to move to Tokyo - then he meets his cool gang of misfits.

Show me your true form. (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 80) During his elemental burst, Akira enters the Wildcard state and can change from element to element by using his Enhanced Skill: Trickster. Using Trickster allows Akira to switch from element to element. While in the Wildcard state, Akira deals elemental infused Normal ATK DMG of the element he is in, each element having different properties. Since his burst is just elemental infused Normal ATKs, the damage from his burst will scale on both the burst multiplier and the normal ATK multiplier, the burst multiplier increasing the buffs he gets from each element, and the normal ATK multiplier increasing the DMG of each individual hit.

Pyro: Deals massive Pyro DMG to a single target, inflicting Severed Flames upon the target. When a target is inflicted by Severed Flames, Akira deals 50% more DMG to that target, and his ATK is increased by 25%.

Electro: Akira enters the Storm state, and his Elemental Mastery is increased by 100. Deals Electro DMG in an AoE, inflicting Thunder's Wake onto the target. Enemies effected by Thunder's Wake have their DEF decreased by 10%.

Anemo: Sucks enemies into a vortex and increases Akira's Elemental Mastery by 100. Enemies pulled into the Vortex become stunned and cannot move until the vortex disappears. Vortex lasts for 10 seconds. 13 second cooldown.

Dendro: Deals Dendro DMG to nearby opponents, and increases bloom DMG (including hyperbloom) by 75% of Akira's Elemental Mastery. Also increases Akira's Elemental Mastery by 100.

Cryo: Deals AoE Cryo DMG to opponents, and increases Akira's ATK by 15% for each enemy that is frozen on the field up to 6 enemies.

Hydro: Deals AoE Hydro DMG to opponents, and summons Mini-gana (do you get it) to deal periodic Hydro DMG. When Mini-gana is on the field, Mini-gana will heal nearby party members by 70% of the DMG done by its attacks, and decreases nearby opponents Hydro RES by 20%.

Geo: Deals AoE Geo damage to nearby targets, increasing Akira's ATK and Normal ATK DMG by 15% per Crystallise reaction triggered, capping at 6 triggers.

Steal your heart! (Elemental skill. 15 second cooldown.) Hold skill: Akira calls upon his allies to support him, summoning a Monabus and driving it, allowing him to deal Physical DMG to opponents for 150% of his current ATK. Press skill: Akira summons a Mini-gana that deals periodic Physical DMG to nearby opponents for 150% of his current ATK, and buffing his CRIT Rate by 20% for 20 seconds.

A new mask. (Passive talent 1) When Akira enters the Wildcard state, increases his Elemental DMG bonus (including Physical) by 50% of his current ATK.

Home away from home. (Passive talent 2) When put in a team with Goro or Futaba, Akira increases all allies' ATK by 15% and their elemental mastery by 100.

The idea is you build him with a lot of ATK so that his passive can covert it into elemental DMG bonus, so it doesn't matter that you can't use a DMG bonus goblet, which makes ATK on the goblet better overall. So ATK sands and goblet. Also I overtuned the Skill because physical damage SUCKS. But I wanted to include it since he's got his whole Wildcard thing and it wouldn't work to put an element to it since he can switch between them. And physical DMG can't mess with elemental reactions.

Ryuji Sakamoto:

Arataki gang. ARATAKI GANG. Because Max Mittleman = Ryuji and Max Mittleman = Itto. So yeah. Se also gives MAJOR Itto vibes!! (In the best way possible.)

As for his vision, sticking to Captain Kidd's lightning moves, I'd give him electro. I think he'd be a claymore user, but his claymore would be shaped like a mallet or whatever it is he carried in Mementos.

Feel the rage of the seven seas! (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 80) Deals periodic electro damage in an AoE and enters the Seven Seas state. While in the Seven Seas state, Ryuji summons Captain Kidd and uses bombs from Captain Kidd's ship (which attack when he uses his normal attack) to deal Electro DMG to opponents in the AOE. When in the Seven Seas state, Ryuji's elemental mastery is buffed by 10% of the team's elemental mastery and his Electro DMG bonus increases by 50% of his elemental mastery. Lasts for 17 seconds, with a 15 second cooldown.

Go get 'em, Captain! (Elemental skill. Cooldown 10 seconds) Ryuji rides Captain Kidd's boat and deals Electro DMG to opponents in the area, buffing his ATK by 10% (at talent level 10) for 15 seconds.

Bombs away! (Passive talent) When Ryuji triggers an Overloaded reaction, his Elemental Mastery increases by 100, and his ATK increases by 3%, stacking up to 5 times, each Overloaded trigger counting as a stack.

I thought of this so you'd use the supports before him, do his skill into burst to get the buff. Also, I see him as an Overloaded carry just because there are no Overloaded teams in Genshin and I think he would fit it really well. Designed to work well with Ann, as you'll see in her kit :)

Ann Takamaki:

Complete Yoimiya vibes. They'd be best friends by the way. Ann stops by Naganohara fireworks every day with Ryuji to feed the cats there and say hi to Yoimiya :D I'd make her like a popular dancer or something I'm not sure. But she does have an element of her previous fame (if we can call it that) and has people appreciate her for her beauty. Instead of being quarter American, she's quarter from Mondstadt this time! And, Pyro vision. Of course.

Do you feel the burn? (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 60) Ann deals Pyro DMG in an AoE, increasing Overloaded DMG by 70% and decreasing the Pyro and Electro RES of nearby opponents by 60%. Additionally, Ann will deal coordinated Pyro DMG with the on-field character, each attack dealing 70% of Ann's current ATK. Lasts for 20 seconds, 15 second cooldown.

Like what you see? (Elemental skill. Cooldown: 12 seconds) Ann deals Pyro DMG in an AoE, using her charm to paralyse enemies for 10 seconds, and reducing their defence by 20%.

Thanks for the support! (Passive talent 1) When at least 3 party members are either of the Pyro or Electro element, Ann will increase the CRIT Rate of all party members by 15%.

Pink Diamonds. (Passive talent 2) When put in a team with Ryuji and Akira, Ann's Pyro DMG bonus increases by 25%.

Yeah she's my designated Ryuji support because I love their friendship and they give so much sibling energy I love them <33 I wanted to give her the ability to have an advanced skill during her burst since she also deals damage in P5, but I thought it would overkill since her kit is already stupid powerful... Also you do have the option to stay on her during her burst since she does coordinated attacks like Yelan.

Morgana:

Akira fished him out of the sea. Like Paimon. But he is infinitely better than Paimon in every single way imaginable. I'm actually not sure how he found him in this world but the fishing him out of a sea thing was a joke... mostly. But yes he is a magical cat who can talk and do cool damage! I'd say not that odd for Genshin standards though. Anemo vision obviously.

I'm not a cat! (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 60) Morgana leaps into the air and creates an Anemo vortex (looks similar to Lynette's burst in that there's a cat in the middle :> ) that sucks in nearby enemies and deals periodic Anemo DMG based on 50% of Morgana's current Elemental Mastery. If an element is applied to the Vortex, nearby allies have their elemental DMG bonus for that element increased by 15%. Vortex lasts for 15 seconds and has a 12 second cooldown.

Tch, you guys are just small fry. (Elemental skill. Cooldown: 10 seconds) Morgana summons Zorro to deal periodic Anemo DMG to enemies, pulling them into a small vortex and healing nearby party members for 50% of Morgana's Elemental mastery + 25% of Morgana's max HP.

What about my fatty tuna? (Passive talent 1) Driven by his hunger, Morgana increases the ATK and ATK SPD of nearby party members by 20%. hoping they'll finish fighting quicker so they can all go and eat some good sushi after the battle.

All for you! (Passive talent 2) When put in a team with Ann, increases all allies' CRIT DMG and Pyro DMG bonus by 20%.

Makoto Nijima:

I wasn't sure what element I should give her since Nuke isn't really something that exists in Genshin... I decided upon Cryo because she fits the vibes. I'm not sure why but she does. I once saw something that said like vision users were chosen for their personal characteristics and that Cryo was for lonely people or something, (I'm paraphrasing don't quote me on this) not that she's lonely! Just that she had some trouble finding friends because her sister was always working and her position as the council president made it difficult. So yeah, Cryo.

This is my new self! (Elemental burst. Energy cost 60.) Makoto enters the Free spirit state and her ATK is increased by 40% for 10 seconds. She uses Johanna to ride into the air does a blast of AoE Cryo DMG to nearby enemies. 15 second cooldown.

I'll show you what I'm really made of. (Elemental skill. Duration 15 seconds. Cooldown 20 seconds.) Makoto rides Johanna and can drive into enemies. When riding Johanna, her skill becomes an enhanced skill, and she can deal increased DMG to enemies by ramming into them.

I don't need to prove myself to you. (Passive talent) When Makoto uses her elemental skill or enters the Free Spirit state, her Cryo DMG bonus is increased by 20%, and enemies' Cryo RES decreases by 20%.

Skill-based DPS because mostly everyone I've designed so far is burst reliant, and we know that Makoto is super cool and does things her own way while still being uber mega strong.

Yusuke Kitagawa:

Renowned Inazuman artist. He must be. I feel as though he's like Itto in the way that he'd interact with Kamisato Ayato on a daily basis at his art exhibitions and thank him for his patronage, but never realise he's the Yashiro comissioner. Oh sweet Yusuke never change. Also Cryo vision because Goemon!!

The real meaning of art. (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 60) In the throes of battle, Yusuke feels inspiration hit him and is compelled to paint the scene. To do this, he freezes all nearby opponents (regardless of whether they are affected by Hydro, but opponents effected by Hydro will stay frozen for longer) immediately upon casting his Elemental Burst, dealing a burst of AoE Cryo DMG. His normal ATKs then become infused with Cryo, and he uses his paintbrush to attack enemies in large strokes, dealing AoE Cryo DMG.

Is this true beauty? (Elemental skill. Cooldown 10 seconds.) Yusuke frames his enemies in his canvas (he does that thing with his hands where he pretends to take a photo I don't know how to describe it), dealing Cryo DMG to all opponents in his lens. All opponents captured have their Freeze duration extended by 5 seconds and have their Cryo RES decreased by 20%.

I must capture this moment! (Passive talent) Yusuke's DMG to Frozen opponents increases by 25%.

Futaba Sakura:

Dendro. Need I explain? (Okay maybe I might have to explain but I just thought it fit her really well I don't know why.) She's the daughter of the boss of Komore Teahouse (which I've made to be Sojiro. I'm sorry old boss.) and spends her days sitting behind the counter and waiting with Taroumaru. Since there isn't technology in this world she's a pro codebreaker and has intercepted and deciphered codes from the military multiple times! And since her palace was Ancient Egyptian-themed, I think it would be fitting if she'd been really interested by Sumerian culture and wanted to visit for a long time, always reading about it. Hence, her name as Alibaba. In this world, I'd like to think her mother was a scholar who attended the Sumeru Akademiya in the Spantamad Darshan since that's to do with Ley Lines and such... closest thing to Cognitive Psience I think? Also the Dendro vision could fit with her fondness for Sumeru!

Alibaba sees all! (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 80) During her elemental burst, Al Azif floats above the battlefield and casts Restricted Zone, generating a field. Within the Restricted Zone, all enemies' resistances are nullifed, and their elemental RES for all elements in the party are decreased by 20%, and increases all allies Elemental Mastery by 25% of Futaba's elemental mastery. Within the Restricted Zone, periodic Dendro DMG is also dealt to all enemies within, scaling on Futaba's Elemental Mastery. Restricted Zone lasts for 25 seconds, with a 20 second cooldown.

Pharoh's Judgement. (Elemental skill: 15 second cooldown.) When Futaba casts Pharoh's Judgement, Al Azif descends and deals Dendro DMG to nearby enemies. When Al Azif is on the field, all allies ATK, DEF and ATK SPD is increased by 20%, and their elemental DMG bonus is increased by 30%.

You can't leave again... okay? (Passive talent 1) When put in a team with Akira Kurusu and Goro Akechi, Futaba increases all allies' CRIT Rate by 20% and their CRIT DMG by 60%, fueled by the desire to protect her family, found or biological.

Don't touch me! (Passive talent 2) When enemies are in the Restricted Zone, their DEF decreases by 30%.

TRIGGER WARNING: Non-con. Not in ANY DETAIL, just as speculation as to why Wakaba may have had Futaba. Just to explain the You can't leave again... okay? talent, there's a headcannon that Futaba's father is actually Shido since we never find out who he is. Since we know Wakaba worked with Shido at some point, and he cut off her research and forced Akechi into giving her a mental shutdown, it may have happened that he took advantage of her at some point, leading to Futaba. From what we know of her character, she didn't have a partner (barring Sojiro, but they weren't confirmed for a romantic relationship), so it makes sense that her conception of Futaba wasn't entirely of her own volition.

Also, the Al Azif thing was interesting to me because I did some digging on the P5 wiki and apparently Necronomicon was based on an Arab tome called Al Azif. And since we have Sumeru and the whole thing I added about Futaba being interested in Sumerian culture, I thought it might be fitting to put Al Azif in her abilities.

As you can tell from the very long and detailed skill and burst and the two passive talents I love Futaba!

Haru Okumura:

The daughter of the Takatsukasa clan (well now the Okumura clan) head, which was disgraced for manipulation of the Tenryou commission. She now is the new head, and needs to bring the clan back to its former glory in the wake of her father's misconduct. He dies in this world because an assassin from a rival clan wanted to end his political misconduct. I'd imagine she's friends with Ayaka. And I'm giving her an Electro vision because I think it fits her personality and her whole pinky purple thing going on with Milady.

Say hi to your new boss! (Elemental burst. Energy cost: 60). Haru summons 5 employees that deal Electro DMG. Two of them deal Electro DMG every 1.5 seconds, and three of them deal Electro DMG every 1 second. Each employee deals Electro DMG based on 50% of Haru's ATK, and decreases the opponents' Electro RES by 20%. The employees remain on-field, even when Haru is switched out.

Eat up! (Elemental skill. 7 second cooldown) Haru supplies party members with her home-grown vegetables, healing the party for 50% of Haru's ATK and increasing all allies' Electro DMG bonus and Electro CRIT DMG by 25%.

I'm stronger than you think. (Passive talent.) When her employees are on the field, enemies hit by their attacks have their DEF decreased by 10%.

The employees were based off Furina's lil gang when she summons her burst. They'd have pretty fast Electro application, but not enough to powercreep Fischl, since I think Haru fits into her own specific niche of buffing Electro units (RIP Kujou Sara).

Goro Akechi:

Laughs manically. It is my time. Scaramouche vibes here. But, instead of the Shogun, he could be a lil guy from one of Yae Miko's experiments who was abandoned and left to fend for himself ): He now holds resentment towards her (obviously) and his in rage, he gained the ability to access elemental powers without a vision, because he is also a wildcard! And since he doesn't have as many bonds as Akira or whatever, he can't access as many elements as Akira can, so I'm giving him Electro and Hydro. Electro (Loki) because of his pure, unfiltered rage and Hydro (Robin Hood) because of his sense of justice and kind façade he puts on to make himself seem likable. He got a respectable job at the Yashiro commission, and works closely with Ayato on diplomatic matters, all in hopes of becoming powerful enough to create checks and balances in Inazuma's government to take power away from th Guuji Yae and the Shogun.

Stop underestimating me. (Elemental burst, Electro. Energy cost: 90) Goro unleashes his rage and enters the Berserk state, draining 3% of his HP per attack hit on an enemy. In the Berserk state, all of his attacks have 100% CRIT rate, and 50% of his ATK is converted to Electro DMG bonus. In the Berserk state, he gains an enhanced Skill, which immobilises enemies for 5 seconds with a 7 second cooldown. Lasts for 20 seconds.

I suppose I'll comply. (Elemental burst, Hydro. Energy cost: 60) Due to his desire to be likable to others, Goro will unleash a Tidal Wave that hits all nearby enemies with a powerful burst of Hydro, decreasing all enemies' Hydro RES by 20%.

This will do. (Elemental skill, 7 second cooldown in Electro, 15 second cooldown in Hydro.) Allows Goro to switch between the Electro and Hydro elements. Once the skill is tapped, Goro floats above the battle and can see his enemies' positioning. In the air, he can either use a plunge attack or use his skill again, the plunge attack putting him into Electro mode, and the skill putting him into Hydro mode. In both elements, when coming back to the ground, Goro deals AoE Hydro/Electro DMG, pulling enemies close to him and paralysing them for 5 seconds. In Electro mode, once he does the plunge attack, he heals his own HP by 45% of his ATK. In Hydro mode, however, Goro will immediately consume 60% of his max HP and gain 60% CRIT Rate. His normal attacks will become infused with Hydro, and he will gain 45% Hydro DMG bonus. He will also be able to use his skill again to place down Robin Hood, who will deal Hydro DMG to all nearby opponents.

I'll carve my own path. (Passive talent 1) Every time Goro completes a 3-hit normal attack combo, ATK, Electro DMG bonus and Hydro DMG bonus increase by 15%.

I wish I'd met you sooner. (Passive talent 2) When put in a team with Akira and Futaba, Goro increases all party members' elemental mastery by 100 and can heal all party members for 40% of his attack once their HP falls below 50%.

Weapon: Lævateinn. Base ATK: 674. Secondary stat: CRIT DMG 44.1%. Passive: Increases Goro's resistance to interruption by 30%. Increases Goro's ATK and Elemental Mastery by 15% for 15 seconds every time he consumes his own HP.

Since both Hydro and Electro rely on reactions, I'd build him with EM on the sands, ATK on the goblet, and CRIT DMG circlet, since he gains a lot of CRIT Rate from the Berserk state, and from consuming his HP when he goes into Hydro form. Also I realised if you play him without a shield he'll get gigaknockbacked so I made him a weapon that fixes that in true Genshin fashion :) You can just play him with Sumire but you know i wanted to add the Loki reference.

Sumire Yoshizawa:

Famous Inazuman dancer perhaps? Her and her sister were a famous dance duo until the Vision Hunt Decree, where Kasumi was killed for not giving up her vision. After that, Sumire gained her own vision, never forgetting the feeling of powerlessness she felt at the face of her sister's death. Blames it on herself since she thought if she was strong enough, she could have saved her. Geo vision because I feel like it would signify brute strength in a moment where she felt powerless.

Get out of the way! (Elemental burst, Energy cost: 60) Fueled by the desire to protect her sister, after casting her elemental burst, Sumire will summon Cendrillon to deal AoE Geo DMG for 15 seconds. Sumire will also take 75% of the damage inflicted to the on-field character for 15 seconds, buffing their defence by 30% of Sumire's defence.

Let me handle it. (Elemental skill, 15 second duration, 15 second cooldown.) Sumire gives a Geo shield to the on-field character based on 40% of her DEF. The shield can stack up to 10x, and it gains a stack every time a crystallise reaction is triggered.

Dance, Cendrillon! (Passive talent 1) When Cendrillon is on the field, all allies' DEF increases by 10%.

Team ideas:

Ryuji Overloaded team: Ryuji, Ann, Morgana, Haru.

Ryuji as the on-field driver with Ann to do coordinated Pyro attacks to trigger overloaded. Haru to increase Ryuji's CRIT DMG and decrease enemies' Electro RES. Morgana to heal and crowd control so overloaded doesn't knock back enemies :)

Found family team: Goro, Akira, Futaba, Haru.

Haru isn't the found family but we have the biological siblings and the found one :)

Hyperbloom team with Goro as the hyperbloom trigger. His EM will be gigabuffed with Futaba, and he'd have an EM sands so hyperblooms should do good DMG. Dendro Akira for the bloom buff. Futaba to buff everyone beause I made her cracked, and she pairs well with Goro for the Aggravate triggers. And Haru to increase Goro's Electro DMG and shred enemy defence.

Variant of the team can also be played with Sumire for the shielding so Goro doesn't get destroyed since he consumes his own HP, but Haru would buff him a lot.

Freeze team: Yusuke, Hydro Akira, Morgana, Makoto.

Yusuke would be the team's main Cryo driver, while Makoto would be a quick-swap unit to apply Cryo for Morgana to swirl. Akira obviously does his hydro appliaction and summons a Mini-gana! (I love that name I'm sorry.)

Akira Goro vape team: Akira, Goro, Morgana, Sumire.

Akira in Pyro form would be used as the on-field driver. Goro's Robin Hood would then apply Hydro from off-field. Morgana for crowd control and healing and Sumire for interruption resistance.

Goro destroys the world team: Goro, Futaba, Haru, Sumire.

Literally just an aggravate team. Goro Electro form would be used, Futaba for the insane buffs and Dendro application, Haru to gigabuff Goro and Sumire for survivability :)
