Persona 5: The Phantom X is a Gacha spin-off of the original, introducing several new characters to players in a familiar world. While several activities may seem familiar to returning players, they work quite differently here. It’ll take a while to find your bearings in this entry. However, this guide will point you in the right direction and towards activities that will benefit you the most at the start of your adventure.
There’s a baseball field puzzle in Kiuchi’s Palace that can be rather tricky to complete, here’s everything you need to know about solving it.
Focus on the Main Missions
Most of the activities in P5X will be locked to a certain level threshold, hence you’ll need to focus on completing the main missions to open up the game. Doing this will ensure that you have access to most of the in-game mechanics, can work on building your characters, and can participate in new events.
However, there will be some moments where you’ll have to level up Wonder to a particular rank to progress the story. Don’t worry, the activities mentioned ahead will help you in that regard.
Prioritize Unlocking Personas for Wonder
Wonder can equip multiple Personas in P5X, which lets him target a range of enemy affinities. At the start, he’ll only have one Persona equipped, but there are certain activities you can do to unlock more Personas for him, including.
Following Main Missions
Progressing Through Kiuchi’s Palace
Fighting Personas in the Realm of Repression
Trying Your Luck on a Banner
Complete Your Daily & Weekly Quests
Make sure to check off your daily and weekly quests every day to level up Wonder quicker and avoid getting stuck in a level-gated situation. These quests also offer a ton of rewards, like ascension materials, Meta Crystals, and other items to help you progress your account very quickly.
Make Sure to Complete Lufel’s Plan Objectives
Lufel’s Plan is available at the start, and you focus on completing all its steps, at least for Plan 1 in Persona 5: The Phantom X.
The reason why you should focus on Lufel’s Plan is that completing all seven steps will allow you to choose between three 5-Star Phantom Thieves, which otherwise you’d have to rely on your luck to get.
Complete 50 Pulls from Newcomer Banner
You’ll get a lot of Golden and Platinum tickets at the start of your journey, which you should put to good use. Instead of randomly selecting a banner to pull from, make sure to spend your Golden Tickets on multi-pulls from the first (newcomer) banner.
Completing 50 pulls from the Newcomer banner will also let you snag a 5-Star Phantom Thief, among a selection of three.
Participate in the Take Your Heart Event
The first event for the global release of Persona 5: The Phantom X is Take Your Heart. The event has a ton of activities and challenges to indulge yourself in early on. It also offers a stack of rewards to players who invest time in completing all its activities, which aren’t that hard to do.
