Yesterday, April 18th, was a momentous day for fans of the “Persona” video game series. This is a series of role-playing games and a spin-off from Atlus’ Megami Tensei, a Japanese media franchise.
That was the day “Persona 5: The Phantom X” was finally released. It put an end to the long wait. However, this release is not yet worldwide, as it was only for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
“Persona 5: The Phantom X” takes place in modern Tokyo, the same place where 2016’s “Persona 5” occurred. The game follows a group of characters wielding the power of Persona. It merges social simulation elements as the protagonist can raise their stats and create bonds with characters with a dungeon in the alternate world known as the Metaverse crawling on the backdrop.
But if you’re not in those locations mentioned earlier, it might still be possible for you to play the game. This and more are included in this guide for first-time players of “Persona 5: The Phantom X.”
Understanding Its Gacha System
The game uses the popular gacha system wherein, you can spend the in-game currency to summon new players, weapons, and equipment. Summoning like what happens in “Elden Ring,” right?
Here are the three main banners in “Persona 5: The Phantom X.”
- Standard Banner – The most affordable and regular banner that gives you the opportunity to get various characters and Personas of multiple rarities.
- Character Banner – Made specifically for a sporadic character.
- Weapon Banner – Involves summoning powerful weapons complementing the strength of your current characters.
Team Building
Team building is one of the aspects that makes “Persona 5: The Phantom X” quite stunning to play. This is because you must take care of several things unless you want a team mismatch that can lead you to a game over. Each character here has unique skills and stats, to be used by Personas while in battle.
To choose the perfect team, be guided by these.
Roles
These are very crucial in the game. Once you understand these Roles, you must form a balanced team. That means a team with all the characteristics you wish and all the characters playing in the right strategies. But it all depends on you.
Elements And Resistances
Another way toward forming the ideal team is to be familiar with elements and resistances. In “Persona 5: The Phantom X,” different characters and Personas have different elemental affinities. Thus, if you create a team that can exploit your opponent’s weaknesses, you are brewing the best experience for yourself.
Synergy
Synergy is what it exactly sounds like – finding skills that synergize with each other. For instance, a character who uses burn is great with somebody who deals fire damage.
Power Up Your Team
Of course, you also need to power up your team so you can cultivate the best gaming experience. Here are the things you should keep in mind:
- Leveling – The more your characters battle and gather experience, the more their stats add up.
- Awakenings – A special buff that boosts your character’s skills and unlocks new skills to help during fights.
- Equipment – Characters can wield various equipment, such as weapons and armor.
