Leveling Up in Persona 5 Royal: A Comprehensive Guide to Rapid XP Gain

Leveling up is crucial in Persona 5 Royal, as underleveled players will struggle against late-game bosses. This guide details efficient methods to maximize experience point (XP) gain, incorporating new features from Persona 5 Royal.

Boosting XP with Accessories and Confidants

• Team Glasses: Equip the free DLC Team Glasses accessory on each party member for a 15% XP boost. Remember, backline members receive less XP; however, this is mitigated by...

• Mishima Yuuki's Confidant (Moon Arcana): Ranking up Mishima's Confidant increases backup member XP gain. Rank 3 provides some XP, Rank 5 increases it further, and Rank 10 grants them the same XP as frontline fighters. Remember to choose dialogue options he favors and bring a Moon Arcana Persona. His Confidant missions are now integrated into his progression.

Mementos: Optimizing XP Farming

• Jose's Cognition Service: Jose, a new character, allows modifying Mementos rewards. Exchange collected flowers and stamps for increased XP gain (up to 200%). Maximizing this requires 85 stamps; locate Stamp Stations in Mementos dead ends.

Confronting the Reaper

• Reaper Encounters & Rewards: The Reaper, a powerful foe, appears after prolonged stays on a Mementos floor. Defeating him yields massive XP and money, but requires a high party level (recommended level 60+). Utilize defensive support skills and spells like Makarakarn. Izanagi-no-Okami (Picaro) users can leverage Concentrate, Heat Riser, and Myriad Truths for significant damage.

Treasure Demons: Efficient Item and XP Acquisition

• Treasure Demon Encounters: Treasure Demons are non-hostile Shadows that flee after a few turns. Defeat them quickly using Shinya's Rank 1 ability, Down Shot, to trigger an All-Out Attack, or a high-crit move (avoiding Physical nulls). Increase encounter rates by crafting Treasure Traps (2x Silk Yarn, 3x Plant Balm, 1x Cork Bark).

Utilizing Persona Passive Skills

• Growth Skill: Unequipped Personas with the Growth skill gain XP even when inactive. Growth 1 grants ¼ XP, Growth 2 ½ XP, and Growth 3 full XP. Several Personas learn this skill naturally; others can be obtained through the Electric Chair (Growth 3 only). Growth 2 can be obtained by spending time with Caroline and Justine at Miura Beach (September 2nd-29th, after event 6).

Ryuji Sakamoto's Confidant: Unlocking Insta-Kill

• Insta-Kill: Reaching Rank 7 in Ryuji's Confidant unlocks Insta-Kill, allowing instant Shadow defeat if Joker's level is 10 levels higher. Identify targetable Shadows using Joker's Third Eye (green outline). Ryuji's Confidant is easily maxed out.

By strategically combining these methods, players can significantly accelerate their leveling process in Persona 5 Royal and conquer even the most challenging encounters.
