Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Persona Summoning: The ability to utilize Personas, powerful manifestations of the mind and soul. Personas can move and attack independently of their users, allowing for double-teaming between their user and the equipped Persona. Each Persona has a set of elemental affinities, which also apply to their user while the Persona is equipped. Ann's initial Persona is Carmen, her evolved Persona is Hecate and her ultimate Persona is Célestine.

Cognition: According to Morgana, the entire world is a product of Cognition; that is, what is real is only determined by humanity's perception. It is effectively a form of collective Subjective Reality possessed by humanity. Within the Metaverse, this effect is taken to its extremes, resulting in things such as fake guns becoming real just by someone believing that it is, and said guns being always loaded due to the enemy's logical assumption that a gun being held with hostile intent would naturally be so. More subtle displays of Cognition are also shown, such as when Ryuji Sakamoto managed to harm Shadows prior to awakening to his Persona, despite Shadows being invulnerable to all forms of standard physical interaction, simply because he believed that those Shadows were normal people playing a cruel prank.
Will of Rebellion: The Phantom Thieves' outfits take the form of one's image of rebellion, and reflect the strength of their will to rebel against others' desire to control them. This will of rebellion manifests as the aforementioned outfits, which protect the Phantom Thieves from the effects of Cognitive Distortions. Naturally, the stronger the will, the greater the extent of their resistance to the effects of Cognition.
