Persona 5 Royal: Best Ways to Get EXP

Leveling Up Quickly in Persona 5 Royal: A Comprehensive Guide

Leveling up is crucial in Persona 5 Royal, especially for tackling challenging late-game bosses. This guide outlines several efficient methods for maximizing experience gain, ensuring you're adequately prepared for any encounter.

Boosting EXP Gains:

• Team Glasses Accessory: Equip the Team Glasses DLC accessory on all party members for a 15% EXP boost. Remember, only active party members receive full EXP; backline members receive less.

• Mishima Yuuki's Confidant (Moon Arcana): Reaching Rank 3 and 5 in Mishima's Confidant grants backup members increased EXP. At Rank 10, they gain the same EXP as front-line fighters. Remember to choose dialogue options he favors and bring a Moon Arcana Persona. Completing his Mementos missions is essential for Confidant progression.

• Mementos Cognition: Jose's shop in Mementos allows you to boost EXP gains within Mementos. Using Stamps collected throughout Mementos, you can increase EXP rewards up to 200%.

• Defeating the Reaper: This powerful foe appears in Mementos after prolonged stays on a floor. Defeating him yields massive EXP and Yen, but requires a high party level (level 60+ recommended). Utilize defensive support skills and spells like Makarakarn to survive his attacks.

• Treasure Demons: These non-hostile Shadows flee after a few turns but offer EXP. Use Shinya's Rank 1 ability, Down Shot, for an All-Out Attack, or high-crit attacks like Morgana's Miracle Punch (if not nullified). Increasing Palace security or using the Treasure Trap infiltration tool increases encounter rates.

• Growth Passive Skill: Unequipped Personas with the Growth skill gain EXP even if not used in battle. Growth 1, 2, and 3 provide 25%, 50%, and 100% EXP respectively. Several Personas learn this skill naturally, and the Growth 3 skill card can be obtained through the Electric Chair (Izanagi Picaro) or by spending time with Caroline and Justine.

• Ryuji Sakamoto's Confidant (Insta-Kill): Reaching Rank 7 unlocks Insta-Kill, allowing instant defeat of Shadows 10 levels below Joker's level. Use Joker's Third Eye to identify susceptible Shadows (green outline).

By strategically utilizing these methods, you can efficiently level up your team and conquer Persona 5 Royal's challenges. Remember that being significantly over-leveled can diminish the game's difficulty, so aim for a balance between efficient leveling and a challenging gameplay experience.
