Persona 5 Royal
A stylish RPG about Tokyo students who steal the corrupted hearts of powerful adults.
Atlus · Sega · 80–120 hrs
Difficulty
A calendar RPG where Confidants are the skill tree and palaces are the dungeons. Royal's third semester is missable; baton passes and a gallows fusion on alarm night are the combat.
Tips
- Start here
Confidants over extra palace days
Temperance (Kawakami) for extra time, Fortune (Chihaya) for affinity boosts, and Strength (the Twin Wardens) for fusions you couldn't otherwise make. A palace at 100% can wait a day; a Confidant rank cannot always.
- Start here
Baton pass to the weakness
Knock down with the right element, then baton pass to the next color the remaining enemies are weak to. A 1-More that doesn't pass is leaving a full extra turn on the table. Send the calling card the day you can also beat the boss.
- Advanced
Gallows, electric chair, hangman
Use the electric chair on alarm for a better item, the gallows to feed extra XP into a persona you actually run, and hangman to print skill cards. Jazz club (Royal) teaches skills you would otherwise fuse for.
- Advanced
Mementos requests are Confidant gates
Several Confidants stop until you finish their Mementos request. Do them the next time you dive; don't wait for a 'big' Mementos trip that never comes.
- Secrets
Councillor rank 9 before 11/17
Maruki (Councillor) must be rank 9 by November 17 or you skip the entire third semester, Kasumi's real arc, and the true ending. This is the one date in the game that is not a suggestion.
- Secrets
Class answers are Knowledge
Classroom answers give Knowledge and charm you would otherwise spend evenings on. Akechi's third-semester beats and the Jazz club persona lessons are easy to leave unopened if you never check the hangout list on a rainy day.
- Builds
One persona per role
A Yoshitsune or a later almighty carry, a support with Charge/Concentrate and Dekaja, and a coverage persona for the elements your party doesn't have. Don't keep a party of four people who all hit weak Phys.
- Bosses
Okumura is a baton exam
The president's palace boss is a timer plus a baton-pass chain. If you have not ranked the Confidants that boost baton damage, this is the fight that tells you. Later, Maruki is a mechanic fight; read the Showtime and the will seeds.
