Ring with variable width (Unity 5 particle effect tutorial with subtitle)
https://moonflowercarnivore.tumblr.com/post/161604054926/particle-ring-with-variable-width
This tutorial teaches you a simple trick to recreate the ring effect as seen in Persona 5 (https://youtu.be/qKZtJmt85ns?t=120). You will need Unity 5.2 or onward, Blender (or any similar 3D graphic editor capable of exporting FBX) and any 2D graphic editor for drawing a very simple texture.
I know to those familiar with shader coding, the method used in this video sounds completely bonker, it really is for those who want to forget about shader for similar result.
