Boost Your Persona 5 Royal Experience: Uncover the Secrets to Rapid EXP

Leveling Up in Persona 5 Royal: A Comprehensive Guide to Fast XP Farming

Leveling up is crucial in Persona 5 Royal, as under-leveled players will struggle with late-game bosses. This guide details several methods to expedite the leveling process, leveraging both new and existing features in Persona 5 Royal.

Boosting EXP Gains:

• Team Glasses Accessory: Equip the free DLC "Team Glasses" accessory on all party members for a 15% EXP boost. Note that backline members receive less EXP; addressing this requires Confidant progression.

• Mishima Yuuki's Confidant (Moon Arcana): Ranking up Mishima's Confidant increases backup member EXP gain. Rank 3 provides some EXP, while Rank 5 and Rank 10 provide increasingly significant boosts, culminating in equal EXP for all party members at Rank 10. Remember to choose dialogue options he favors and bring a Moon Arcana Persona. His Mementos missions are directly tied to his Confidant rank.

• Mementos Cognition: Jose, a new character in P5R, allows you to boost Mementos EXP gains. Exchange collected "flowers" and "Stamps" for increased EXP rewards (up to 200%). Maximizing EXP requires 85 Stamps. Stamps are found in Mementos dead ends behind breakable walls.

• Defeating the Reaper: This powerful foe appears in Mementos after prolonged stays on a floor. Defeating him (recommended at level 60+) yields massive EXP and Yen. Utilize defensive support skills and strategies like Makarakarn to reflect magic attacks.

• Treasure Demons: These flee after a few turns but provide decent EXP. Utilize Shinya's Rank 1 ability, "Down Shot," for an All-Out Attack or a high-crit attack (avoiding Physical nulls). Increase encounter rates with the "Treasure Trap" infiltration tool (requires 2 Silk Yarn, 3 Plant Balm, 1 Cork Bark).

• Growth Passive Skill: Unequipped Personas with the "Growth" passive skill earn EXP even when not in battle. Growth 1, 2, and 3 provide increasing percentages of EXP. Several Personas naturally learn this skill, and the Growth 3 skill card can be obtained from the Electric Chair after fusing Izanagi Picaro. Growth 2 can be obtained by spending time with Caroline and Justine at Miura Beach (September 2nd-29th, post-event 6).

• Ryuji Sakamoto's Confidant (Insta-Kill): Reaching Rank 7 unlocks "Insta-Kill," allowing instant defeat of Shadows 10 levels below Joker's level (providing EXP, Yen, items, and potentially Personas). Identify susceptible Shadows with Joker's Third Eye (green outline).

By strategically utilizing these methods, you can efficiently level your team in Persona 5 Royal and conquer even the toughest challenges. Remember that over-leveling can diminish the challenge, so aim for a balance that maintains an engaging experience.
