A strong comeback by Atlus sees the Megami Tensei world come to a near future environment. This new chapter of the Soul Hackers series is set in a Neo-Tokyo-like city, with locations like Karakucho to discover and save from the arrival of the Great One’s imminent end-of-the-world catastrophe.

But how can you, Ringo, Arrow, Milady, Saizo, and Figue take down enough demons to reach your goal if you don’t have the right accessories to boost your stats? Sure, having the right Demons to summon might help, but having a nice boost to your defense will save you a lot of reruns, and a boost on your Luck might help you find the much-needed items needed to get to the end quicker.

10 Zirconia Band

We’re going to talk about Zafiro a lot, so don’t forget to pay your respects to Mannequin when looking for your new favorite accessories to use in combat. He sure knows his fashion, and that’s the best place to pick up your accessories.

Anyway, let’s start with the Zirconia Band. With a ¥495,000 price tag, this band is one of the four most expensive items at Zafiro you can buy, but it sure is worth it. Adding 61 Defense, 160 HP, and 12 Intelligence, this can only be equipped by Ringo.

9 Vintage Lighter

Nothing looks better than a Vintage Lighter. You don’t even need to be a smoker to agree to that. Lighting up some candles with a stylish lighter is sure set the mood, and Saizo knows what it means to set the mood right.

This Saizo-only Accessory is a great way to boost your base stats. It gives 60 Defense, 180 HP, and 100 MP. You’ll probably want to save up the ¥495,000 to pick this up at Zafiro’s and increase those stats in style.

8 Victoria Bustier

Milady gives off some Persona 5 Ann vibes, and having the same name as Ann’s Persona doesn’t help. But don’t get confused — the two have very distinct personalities. Milady’s achievements in the Phantom Society are impressive, but now she’s working with Ringo to save the world.

To make sure you save the world you’ll need to grab the Victoria Bustier from Zafiro at ¥495,000 yen. It adds 62 Defense, 12 Strength, and ten Agility to her stats, making her a top player in combat.

7 Marshal Glove

The Marshal Glove is the best accessory you can buy for Arrow. It comes with the same price tag as the last three entries, but unfortunately gives smaller stat improvements compared to the rest of them.

Adding 55 Defense, 12 Vitality, and ten Agility, the Glove sure can improve your fighting experience. However, with that price tag, it’s a bit of a letdown. Don’t worry though — you can pick up another accessory that’s a little better, by completing a certain request.

6 Acorn Earring

This Acorn-shaped earring is a great little trinket to equip on Milady, who is the only one that can wear this accessory. While you’re waiting to buy the Victoria Bustier and use those amazing stats, take on the A Wintry Friend request, and you’ll receive the Acorn Earring.

The stats are pretty good when you think about how you got it for free. With 55 Defense, 11 Strength, and seven Vitality, you’ll probably forget about buying the Victoria Bustier.

5 Messenger Robe

Here it is, the first generic Accessory on our list: the Messenger Robe. It's a great piece of equipment that can be used by all the characters in-game, with the only catch being there’s only one to pick up. You’ll find it after completing Masayoshi’s Dark Night Rises request.

If you don’t want to buy one of the ¥495,000 yen accessories, you might as well equip this to one of your characters. It’s got 58 Defense, six Intelligence, six Agility, and six Luck, which sure are some nice stats.

4 Butterfly Choker

Mannequin sure is a part-timer, but he knows how to pick the right fashion accessories to place in the Zafiro store. Perhaps his fashion influencer status has something to do with it.

The Butterfly Choker is a little pricey though, as it costs ¥360,000 yen and only offers 54 Defense. There are no other stat improvements, but at least you’ll buff up your defense in style.

3 Jesus Greaves

Jesus does save, and when it comes to Japanese games, he’s great at offering that salvation in the form of agility. The Greaves will be found during Demon Recon, and lucky for you there’s a limit of four you can bring along — one per character if need be.

The Defense increase on the accessory isn’t that great and sits at about 53, but the real reason you want to equip it is the passive Dodge increase against all affinities.

2 Cameo Bolo Tie

The Bolo Tie is a staple in Western fashion, and Mannequin sure knows what to offer in his store — especially if we’re taking into account the fact that this Bolo Tie also comes with some nice stat booster.

Priced at ¥360,000 yen, this accessory adds a base 51 Defense and 120 MP, but lowers your Vitality by seven. It’s a hefty price to pay, especially taking into account that Vitality loss, but the MP increase is worth it.

1 Skull Ring

A sweet reminder of our buddy Ryuji from Persona 5, the Skull Ring can only be equipped by Saizo. This accessory sure can add a bit of spice to your outfit, and your stats. With 50 Defense and seven Vitality, you know Saizo will appreciate it.

To find the Skull Ring you won’t need to shell out any cash, just your hard-earned time. You’ll need to complete the Heartbreaker request, and once that’s done you can enjoy the free accessory.
