What do Data Storm and Virus do?

Oracle is a powerful character because she can add new weaknesses to enemies and make their existing weaknesses even more damaging. She does this by building up ‘Analysis’ – which increases by 5% with each ally’s action, or a significant 20% when you use her ‘Vulnerability Found!’ ability.

If you use the abilities ‘Pentest Complete!’ or ‘Vulnerability Found!’ when Oracle’s analysis is fully complete (at 100%), it will activate ‘Data Storm’. This boosts your allies’ attack power by 20%, or 40% if they’re attacking an enemy’s weakness. While ‘Data Storm’ is active, Oracle can also use ‘Data Link Established!’ to inflict the Virus status effect.

Okay, so Virus is seriously broken in the best way. Basically, it messes with how enemies resist damage. First, it turns any Null, Repel, or Drain into just a regular Resist. Then, it takes those Resists and makes them Neutral, and Neutral becomes Weakness! But here’s the crazy part: if an enemy already has a weakness, Virus boosts the damage you do to it by 25%! That means when you’re fighting those tough end-game bosses that only have one or two weaknesses, you can really melt their health bar if you build your team right.

How to use Oracle in P5X

Use Pentest Complete! first

Once you’ve reached level 70 with the Oracle, Futaba will automatically fully analyze enemies at the start of every battle. This lets you immediately use her skills to significantly lower enemy defense and activate Data Storm as soon as she joins your team.

Use Data Link Established! while Data Storm is active

Data Storm lasts two turns, and Oracle’s other abilities recharge relatively quickly – after only four actions each. This means you’ll almost certainly have Oracle ready to go again before Data Storm ends, so remember to use Data Link Established! to deploy Virus and exploit enemy weaknesses.

Target foes’ existing weaknesses for maximum damage

Okay, so listen up, fellow gamers! Even though I can use Virus on enemies, it’s still way better to hit their regular weaknesses most of the time. Seriously, exploiting those weaknesses gives me a 25% damage boost, and that’s huge! Oracle isn’t just about adding Virus; it’s about turning my team into a total wrecking crew, a real monster-mashing machine, when we focus on those elemental weaknesses.

Best team composition for Oracle in P5X

Okay, so Oracle is seriously good because it fits into any team comp. Honestly, it doesn’t matter who I’m up against or what kind of team I’m running, Oracle just makes everyone better. The key is to bring a couple of strong damage dealers who exploit the enemy’s weakness, and Oracle will really help them – and the whole team – pump out the damage. It’s all about maximizing that elemental advantage!

A team with powerful attackers like Joker or Queen, a support character who boosts attack power like Chord, and Oracle will be incredibly difficult to defeat.

Best weapon for Oracle in P5X

Weapons in this game get stronger as you collect more stars – more stars mean better stats and abilities. When building your character, always aim for the highest-star weapon you can get. Here’s a breakdown of all of Oracle’s weapons, including their stats and effects:

Laptop (2-Star) – HP 90; ATK 30; DEF 16 – Increase Attack by 11.3%.
High-Spec Laptop (3-Star) – HP 108; ATK 36; DEF 19 – When an ally deals weakness damage, increase Futaba’s Attack by 15%. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
Cyberdeck Pro (4-Star) – HP 144; ATK 48; DEF 25 – Increase Attack by 12%. After inflicting Virus on a foe, increase the target’s Damage Taker by 10% for 2 turns.
Technomage Ultra FS (5-Star) – Increase Attack by 30%. When an ally deals weakness damage, increase the ally’s Attack by 10% for 2 turns. After Futaba inflicts a debuff with a skill, increase the foe’s Critical Damage Taken by 7.6% for 3 turns. This effect can stack up to 2 times.

Best Revelation Cards for Oracle in P5X

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Revelation sets, and there are a couple that really boost Navi units – they call them Elucidators in the game, whatever. For Oracle, the best combo hands down is Labor & Resolve. The big thing is the 4-piece bonus from Labor – it gives everyone an 8% boost to HP, Attack, and Defense when you’ve got a Navi equipped. Then, if you add Resolve to the mix, enemies take a 10% Defense cut every time Oracle debuffs them, and basically all her skills do that! It just stacks really well with what she’s already good at, making her even more powerful.
