Persona 5 Royal: Best Ways to Get EXP

Level Up Like a Pro: Mastering EXP Farming in Persona 5 Royal

Leveling up is crucial in Persona 5 Royal, especially to conquer late-game challenges. This guide outlines efficient experience farming strategies, leveraging new features and mechanics introduced in Persona 5 Royal.

Boosting EXP Gains: Accessories, Confidants, and More

• Team Glasses & Mishima's Confidant: Equip the free DLC Team Glasses for a 15% EXP boost. Maximize Mishima's Confidant (Moon Arcana) to Rank 10 to ensure all team members, even those on the bench, gain full EXP. Remember to use a Moon Arcana Persona during your hangouts and complete his Mementos requests.

• Mementos Cognition: Utilize Jose's shop in Mementos. Exchange collected flowers and stamps to boost EXP gains within Mementos by up to 200%. Prioritize maximizing EXP rewards for efficient farming.

• Confronting the Reaper: The Reaper, a powerful foe, appears in Mementos after extended stays on a single floor. Defeating it (recommended at level 60+) yields massive EXP and Yen. Utilize defensive skills like Makarakarn and consider using powerful Personas like Izanagi-no-Okami (Picaro) for optimal damage.

• Treasure Demons: These flee after a few turns but provide a quick EXP boost. Utilize Shinya's Rank 1 ability, Down Shot, for an All-Out Attack or a high-crit move like Morgana's Miracle Punch to quickly defeat them before they escape. Crafting Treasure Traps increases encounter rates.

• Growth Passive Skill: Unequipped Personas with the Growth passive skill gain EXP even when not in battle. Prioritize Personas with Growth 3 for maximum benefit. Growth 2 can be acquired through a specific event with Caroline and Justine. Izanagi Picaro provides a Growth 3 skill card via the Electric Chair.

Ryuji's Confidant: The Insta-Kill Advantage

Reaching Rank 7 in Ryuji's Confidant unlocks Insta-Kill. This allows instant defeat of enemies 10 levels below Joker's level, providing EXP, Yen, items, and potentially Personas. Use Joker's Third Eye to identify susceptible targets (green outline).

By strategically combining these methods, you can significantly accelerate your leveling progress in Persona 5 Royal, ensuring you're always prepared for the challenges ahead. Remember to balance efficient farming with enjoying the game's rich narrative and side content.
