Persona 5 Strikersintroduces a new gameplay style to thePersonafranchise. By combining the role-playing style of thePersonaseries and the hack-and-slash style ofDynasty Warriors,Persona 5 Strikersrequires players to respond to that “edge of seat” real-time combat.
While the Phantom Thieves level up through battling, it’s important to give them good armor and weapons. SincePersonaabilities can burn through SP, the Thieves need to be able to dish out solid damage while racking up combos.Much likePersona 5 Strikers' accessories and armor, the Phantom Thieves' strongest weapons can’t be unlocked until some progress has been made inStrikers’story.
