Persona 5 Royal: Best Ways to Get EXP

Leveling Up Fast in Persona 5 Royal: A Comprehensive Guide

Leveling up is crucial in Persona 5 Royal, ensuring smooth progress and preventing tedious grinding in Mementos. This guide details efficient experience farming methods, updated for Persona 5 Royal's expanded content. Being over-leveled can make the game easier, but matching the Palace Rulers' levels, especially on a new playthrough, is recommended.

Boosting EXP Gains:

• Accessories and the Moon Arcana: Equip the "Team Glasses" DLC accessory (available on the Playstation Store) for a 15% EXP boost for each equipped character. Maximize Yuuki Mishima's (Moon Confidant) rank to Rank 10 to ensure backup team members receive full EXP. Remember to choose dialogue options he prefers and bring a Moon Arcana Persona. Completing Mishima's Mementos missions is essential for Confidant progression.

• Mementos Optimization: Utilize Jose's shop in Mementos. Exchange collected flowers and stamps for increased EXP rewards (up to 200%). Maximizing EXP gain requires 85 stamps; explore Mementos thoroughly to find hidden Stamp Stations.

• Confronting the Reaper: The Reaper, a powerful enemy, appears after prolonged stays on a Mementos floor. Defeating it yields significant EXP and money. Aim for level 60 or higher before engaging. Utilize defense-boosting skills and Makarakarn to reflect magic attacks. Alternatively, Izanagi-no-Okami (Picaro) with Concentrate, Heat Riser, and Myriad Truths can inflict substantial Almighty damage.

• Treasure Demons: Defeat Treasure Demons for extra EXP. Utilize Shinya's Rank 1 ability, Down Shot, for an All-Out Attack, or exploit weaknesses with high-crit attacks like Morgana's Miracle Punch. Increase encounter rates by crafting Treasure Traps (2x Silk Yarn, 3x Plant Balm, 1x Cork Bark).

• Growth Passive Skill: Unequipped Personas with the Growth skill gain EXP even when not in battle. Growth 3 provides full EXP. Acquire this skill through specific Personas (Izanagi, Izanagi Picaro, Narcissus, Raphael) or the Growth 2 Skill Card (obtained by spending time with Caroline and Justine at Miura Beach).

• Ryuji Sakamoto's Confidant (Insta-Kill): Reaching Rank 7 unlocks Insta-Kill, allowing instant defeat of Shadows 10 levels below Joker's level. This provides EXP, items, and yen. Identify susceptible Shadows using Joker's Third Eye (green outline).

By strategically utilizing these methods, you can efficiently level up your team in Persona 5 Royal, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience.
