Strikers lets you complete requests inside Jails and the real world, offering rewards like BOND points, new weapons, or yen. Previously, you completed them whilst exploring the game's biggest dungeon, Mementos, instigating changes of heart in minor criminals. Allowing you to create HP and SP restoring meals, make good use of this, since first-time recipes also increase your BOND meter. If you miss these recipes, Sophia’s shop will sell them later, alongside ingredients. Each city contains different purchasable recipes, allowing you to cook meals from your camper van if you’ve got the necessary ingredients. Cooking has also changed, letting you get creative beyond LeBlanc’s coffee and curry.Like other Persona games, you can name the protagonist whatever you wish, though in this case, he’ll always retain his Joker codename.As the protagonist, Joker cannot be swapped out and Futaba is strictly there for support, so you need to rotate three other Phantom Thieves. Sadly, that’s not an option in Strikers, so regularly switching party members is advisable for even levelling. In Persona 5, levelling up Mishima’s Confidant rank let characters outside the active party earn EXP. EXP is shared differently in Strikers.(Image credit: Atlus) Everything else you need to know

Damaging enemies also increases your 'Showtime Gauge' and once filled, you can launch a devastating Showtime attack. Party members gradually learn special moves called Master Arts with continued use, which makes new combo attacks available. Hitting weaknesses stuns Shadows, allowing an All-Out-Attack for heavy damage, for example.

Each shadow has weaknesses/resistances and Strikers automatically says what’s effective. Choosing a skill freezes battle, giving you time to tactically manoeuvre. Persona skills are selected from a menu and Joker can wield multiple Personas at once. Players can also deal environmental damage, like destroying cars for a fire attack. If Shadows haven’t spotted you, ambushing them provides an early battle advantage. Strikers does include strategic elements from its predecessor that distinguishes it from Dynasty Warriors. Unlike Persona 5, there’s no time penalty for this. If you’re running low on stamina or health, players can leave that Jail to refresh everyone and come back. Instead of Palaces, the Phantom Thieves are infiltrating Jails-which function similarly, but don’t disappear upon completion.

Strikers moves away from Persona 5’s turn-based combat, opting for hack-and-slash gameplay with many Shadows per battle. Pretty much only wielded as a very last resort, the axe is best tucked This guide covers most of the Persona 5 characters, not every single one. Confidantīy doing this, the game will progress beyond the usual finishing date of December 24th (12/24), and you will reach the Third Semester.(Image credit: Atlus) How is the combat different? To successfully unlock the Third Semester, these three essential Confidants must reach these ranks by a specific in game date. These are the Councillor, Faith and Justice, which are represented by Takuto Maruki, Kasumi Yoshizawa and Goro Akechi. Three of these Confidants is the key to reaching the Third Semester. Throughout your journey to change the hearts of evil adults, you will form social bonds known as Confidants with certain individuals. The Third Semester has all new lessons to attend, a brand new Palace to liberate, several new floors inside Mementos and a third form for the Persona for each of the Phantom Thieves.
