Question for a new player: Does this game allow you to manually carry over certain abilities when fusing personas like P4G or is it random like in the games before that?

They're very generous with the saves this time around. I'm assuming later dungeons will bring back that Tartarus fear.

They saved that for Mementos. So far I've gone about 3-4 floors without a save but the floors aren't that large. But I'm only through Palace #1 and #2.

You can carry over abilities like P4G.

It legitimately felt like shitty busy work. It was the only part of the game I actively hated.

I didn't mind it that much, nothing in palace 7 was even close to as bad as palace 5 for me.
Okumura's palace was bland to look at had an annoying track and it was just shit, had a good boss fight though. The only thing I really didn't like about palace 7 was the no checkpoint between Yakuza boss and Akechi fight. Palace 7 also has good atmosphere. Infact it's the only palace aside from Sara's palace that doesn't feel like a dungeon.

Imo Sae's palace is overall the best in the game because it has the best mix of pacing, variety, gimmicks, music, visuals, environments, game design and pretty much anything you can think of. Palace 3 and 4 still have best music though.

Didn't know that when you feed one Persna to another you can buff certain stats. And everytime you choose the persona-food the stats are different. So if you wanna improve speed or any stat you want you just have to accept cancel accept cancel till the stats are what you want to improve.

Going to spoiler tag this just in case, it's about fusing Persona, I'm level 18 (third month). Thanks in advance.

What do I use the Regent treasure demon for, or more specifically what's the best way to use it?

I have one at level 10, I just unlocked the ability to strengthen Persona. I can fuse it here for a boost to XP, but
is there anything I need to know before I do?

So I made a guide on the best skills/personas in the game (mostly for those who are new to Persona): https://youtu.be/ko1sSKBmkBg?list=PLv28sBtafuHNDp5d2V7W-Yr3h5ZwoXGj6

I show late-game personas (over level 50), so if you don't want to get those spoilered be careful

TL;DW (Bolded Personas are recommended because they're strong, non-bolded ones are recommended because they learn a particular skill before others. You can use them or inherit the skill)

Persona 5 Fusion Calculator: https://chinhodado.github.io/persona5_calculator/index.html#/list

SETH (51) has One Shot Kill (severe Gun dmg, high critical). Combine with Trigger Happy from Matador (Level 19, learns it at 22) or Hell Biker (Level 39, learns it at 43). For High Counter, fuse Dakini (50) with Pazuzu (43) to get Horus and then perform advanced fusion with Horus (49), Anubis (37), Thoth (36), Isis (26)

Pale Rider (53) learns Megidola at 54 (Heavy almighty damage), Evade Bless (triples evasion) at 57

Skadi (55) learns Repel Ice at 60. Apart from that, nothing special

Yatagarasu (57) learns Mediarahan at 59 (Full Party Heal) and Null Wind at 62 (Nullifies Wind DMG)

TRUMPETER (59) learns Debilitate at 65 (BEST Debuff in the game) and you can itemise it for Debilitate Skill Card

Lilith (60) learns Heavy Ice, Fire and Wind damage to all foes

Melchizedek (60) learns God's Hand at level 67 (very strong single target Physical skill)

Moloch (60) learns Drain Fire at level 64 (you can inherit it to your personas that are weak to fire)

Nebiros (62) learns Megidolaon at level 68 (Severe Almighty DMG)

Seiryu (62) learns Repel Nuke at level 63

Quetzalcoatl (63) learns Regenerate 3 at 65 (Heals 6% HP every turn).

Yamata no Orochi (64) learns Unshaken Will at 69 (Immunity to all psychological statuses)

BLACK FROST (67) is one of the best personas in a first playthrough. No weaknesses, effective against 4 elements, strong skills and also can inherit Auto-Mataru from King Frost (64), which gives Attack Up to the whole party for 3 turns at the start of each battle. You can also fuse other skills you want into King Frost before making Black Frost

Throne (71) has Invigorate 3 (7 SP recovery per turn)

Mot (72) learns Repel Electric at 77 and is the only persona to have it.

CYBELE (73) is one of the best healers in the game and she learns Absorb Bless at 77. For her weakness to electricity, fuse Mot and any Sun persona around level 39-53 to make a Cybele with Repel Electricity

Mara (73) learns Firm Stance at 78 (No Evasion, but receive Half Damage). I don't personally use it, but I put it in the list in case someone wants it

Abaddon (74) learns Drain Phys at 79 and Gigantomachia at 80 (very strong multitarget physical skill)

Baal (75) learns Ayamur at 80, a way stronger version of Miracle Punch and is the only Persona to have it (and you can't inherit it to other Personas)

Ongyo-Ki (75) learns Arms Master at 77 (Half HP cost for Phys skills), but needs MAX Confidant Rank with Futaba. In case you don't meet that requirement, Raphael (78) learns it at 83.

Raphael (78) also learns Heat Riser at 80 (ATK/DEF/AGI Buff to one ally)

Sandalphoon (75) learns Angelic Grace at 77 (Doubles Evasion against all elemental magic), but needs MAX Confidant Rank with Mishima. In case you don't meet that requirement, Sraosha (80) learns it at 83

Futsunushi (76) has Ali Dance, which halves hit rate of all attacking enemies (works for entire party), but needs MAX Confidant Rank with Morgana (story-related, happens towards the end of the game). In case you don't meet that requirement, Gabriel (77) learns it at 79

Kohryu (76) learns Spell Master at 82 (Half SP costs), but needs MAX Confidant Rank with Sojirou. In case you don't meet that requirement, Uriel (81) learns it at 86

Kali (77) learns Drain Nuclear at 82, the only persona to learn it naturally

ALICE (79) is one of the best Magic Personas. She starts with very high stats in magic and agility, learns Megidolaon and Concentrate. Her only weakness is Bless, so fuse Cybele into either Nebiros or Belial and then inherit Absorb Bless. Needs MAX Confidant Rank with the Doctor

YOSHITSUNE (79) is one of the best physical damage dealers in the game. High Strength and is the only persona who can learn Hassou Tobi (Level 86, Deal 8 times weak damage to all enemies). You need MAX Confidant Rank with Morgana because one of the ingredients is Futsunushi

I am stopping here, there are still strong Personas beyond level 80 but if you're going that deep I don't think you will need my help anyway. I have covered almost all of the best skills in the game anyway and there aren't many skills that are obtainable only from Personas beyond level 80

Treasure demons when fused with another Persona will give you a resulting Persona of the same Arcana type. Often times they will be the next strongest Persona in that Arcana.

Not really.
For me it was fusing it with other Personas to gain some OP abilities or filling out the compendium in Arcanas. Boosting stats is also incredibly good. You can call it from the conpendium right? Then go wild.

My Izanagi DLC is my main... And I want it to end like the one in P4G. With the same habilities and maxed stats... That's my Perona way.

Was trying to make sure I got the true ending by looking at a guide and ended up spoiling something. Damnit.

Oh well, maybe I'll forget in the next 50 hours of playing or the next month.

Question about the 6th palace:

So, if I beat this one early do I lose my days? Considering the fact that in the prologue Joker gets arrested by the police in the casino. Or does this happen later? Hope someone can answer this without spoilers :)

Ashamed to admit I didn't even find him on my first playthrough. Prioritised maxing social stats and left time only to socialise with characters I liked. So that meant max the whole party and a few npcs.

Nope, you can do it as early as you want. You'll see.
