Persona (Civ6)

Back to Leaders (Civ6)

Personas are variations of existing leaders with new appearances, abilities, and agendas, depicting them at different points of their lives or emphasizing different aspects of their rule. First introduced with the Persona Packs of New Frontier Pass, several more would be added with Leader Pass.

When their respective personas are enabled, the leader's former model and abilities are repurposed as an alternate persona. Sometimes they are identical to their standard game version in terms of abilities and agenda, while other times their standard game version's abilities and agenda might be partially transferred to the new persona, with the old model gaining entirely new ones.
