How to Level Up Persona Skills in Persona 5 Phantom X

In Persona 5: The Phantom X, leveling up Persona Skills is an essential, though sometimes overlooked, aspect of character progression. The effectiveness of a Phantom Assassin's combat capabilities – from damage output and healing to buff and debuff potency – is directly tied to their Persona Skill levels. Understanding the skill leveling system, the materials required, and where to find them is crucial for mastering the game's challenging encounters.This guide will provide detailed information on how to level up both Phantom Thieves' and Wonder's (the protagonist's) Persona skills.

How To Level Up Phantom Thieves Skills In Persona 5: The Phantom X

For all Phantom Thieves (both 4-star and 5-star characters obtained through the gacha system), their Persona skill levels can be augmented using Incense items. This process is managed from the "Thieves" tab in the main Menu.

Steps to Level Up Phantom Thief Skills:

Open the "Thieves" Tab from the main menu.

Select the desired Phantom Thief.

Within their character menu, select "Persona."

Inside the Persona Menu, select the specific Skill you wish to level up.

Press "Level Up" at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Required Materials (Incense Types):

The type and quantity of Incense required depend on the current skill level:

• Levels 1 to 3: Requires Skill Incense S
• Levels 3 to 6: Requires Skill Incense M
• Levels 6 to 10 (Max): Requires Avatamsa Incense

Sources of Incense:

These valuable Incense materials can be obtained through various in-game activities:

• Realm of Repression: Found in Enlightenment tiers (likely as rewards for clearing specific challenges or difficulties).
• Event Rewards: Participate in limited-time events.
• Objective Rewards: Complete specific in-game objectives.
• Plan Rewards: Progress through "Lufel's Business Plans" or similar long-term objectives.
• Regular Drops: Can occasionally be found as drops from containers and after defeating Sub-Boss Shadows in Palaces.

Incense Upgrading:Lesser quality Incense can be upgraded to higher quality ones using the Workbench.

• Three Skill Incense S can be converted into one Skill Incense M.
• This conversion principle applies to upgrading from Skill Incense M to Avatamsa Incense as well.
• Important Note: Not all material conversion recipes are available from the start.Players need to progress further in the Main Story and level up Wonderto unlock new crafting recipes at the Workbench.

It's also important to mention that special attacks, like a Phantom Thief's Highlighted moves (Ultimate Abilities), level up automatically as the Phantom Thief reaches more advanced character levels or higher levels of Awareness (likely obtained through duplicates or specific character progression).

How To Increase Wonder's Persona Skills

The main character, Wonder, handles Persona skill leveling differentlycompared to other Phantom Thieves, as he possesses the Wild Card ability and can switch between multiple Personas. His Persona Skills cannot beupgraded directly from the "Thieves" tab.

Steps to Level Up Wonder's Persona Skills:

Open the Velvet Room menu.

Select "Persona Training."

Choose "Teach Skill" (Enlightenment) to teach Janosik (his initial Persona) and other Personas skills obtained from Seals found in the Realm of Repression.

For automatic enhancement of learned abilities, select "Enhance" (Special Training) within the Persona Training menu.

Wonder's Personas (including Janosik) will also unlock new skills and level up those they have already learned naturally as their Persona levels increase. Persona levels can be increased using Memory Cubes, Anecdote Cubes, or Legend Cubes, which also grant better stats and unlock additional skill slots.

There is also a legacy system that allows players to teach Janosik and other Personas skills fromthese "Seals" acquired in the Realm of Repression, effectively allowingfor customization and skill inheritance.

In essence, for Phantom Thieves, focus on collecting and upgrading Incense throughvarious in-game activities. For Wonder, his Persona skills primarilyimprove as the Personas themselves level up through training and cubeconsumption, with additional skills being taught through the "Seals"system in the Velvet Room.
