Unlock Max Potential: Proven Strategies to Level Up Quickly in Persona 5 Royal

Leveling Up Fast in Persona 5 Royal: A Comprehensive Guide

Leveling up is crucial in Persona 5 Royal, impacting your success against late-game bosses. This guide details efficient experience farming methods, enhanced by P5R's quality-of-life improvements and new content. While over-leveling can make the game too easy, maintaining a level comparable to Palace Rulers is essential, especially on a new playthrough.

Boosting EXP Gains:

• Team Glasses Accessory (DLC): Equip these glasses on your party members for a 15% EXP boost. Remember, only active party members directly receive EXP.

• Mishima Yuuki's Confidant (Moon Arcana): Reaching Rank 3 and 5 grants backup members EXP. Rank 10 ensures they receive the same EXP as front-line fighters. Remember to choose dialogue options he favors and bring a Moon Arcana Persona. His Confidant missions are now integrated into Mementos.

• Mementos Cognition (Jose): Jose, a new character, allows you to enhance Mementos rewards. Exchanging "flowers" and "Stamp Stations" lets you increase EXP gain up to 200% (requires 12 Stamps). There are 165 Stamps available, with 85 needed to max EXP. Stamp Stations are found in Mementos dead ends.

• Defeating the Reaper: This powerful enemy appears in Mementos after prolonged stays on a floor. Defeating him (recommended level 60+) yields massive EXP and money. Utilize defense-boosting skills and Makarakarn to reflect magic attacks. Izanagi-no-Okami (Picaro DLC) users can leverage Concentrate, Heat Riser, and Myriad Truths for significant Almighty damage.

• Treasure Demons: These non-hostile Shadows flee after a few turns. Defeat them quickly using Shinya's Rank 1 ability, Down Shot, for an All-Out Attack. Alternatively, high-crit attacks can work if they don't null Physical. They appear more frequently in Palaces with high security or when using the Treasure Trap infiltration tool (requires 2x Silk Yarn, 3x Plant Balm, 1x Cork Bark).

• Growth Passive Skill: Unequipped Personas normally don't gain EXP. However, the Growth skill allows them to earn a percentage of EXP even when inactive. Growth 3 provides full EXP. Several Personas learn this skill upon leveling; others can be obtained via the Electric Chair (Growth 3 only from Izanagi Picaro). Growth 2 can be acquired by spending time with Caroline and Justine at Miura Beach (September 2nd-29th, after event 6).

• Ryuji Sakamoto's Confidant (Insta-Kill): Reaching Rank 7 unlocks Insta-Kill, allowing instant Shadow defeat if Joker's level is 10 levels higher (indicated by a green outline when using Third Eye). This provides EXP, items, and yen.

By strategically utilizing these methods, you can efficiently level up your team and conquer Persona 5 Royal's challenges.
