Persona 5 The Phantom X Cheats: Secret Tips and Tricks

Persona 5 The Phantom X Artwork 18

Persona 5 The Phantom X doesn’t support real “cheats,” but there are plenty of hidden mechanics and smart habits that massively boost damage, progression speed, and gacha efficiency. These tips focus on systems the game doesn’t fully explain but veterans rely on every day.​

Combat Exploits: One Mores, Third Eye, and Skill Power

  • Abuse One Mores and Harmony Attacks. Hitting weaknesses or crits drains the enemy’s Toughness/Down Gauge and gives a One More; down all enemies to trigger a Harmony/All-Out style attack for huge damage. Build teams with broad elemental coverage (Fire/Ice/Wind/Elec/Curse/Bless) so you always have a weakness answer.​​
  • Use Third Eye to skip bad fights and find secrets. Third Eye highlights destructibles, hidden passages, important footprints, and enemies, letting you route quickly to chests and puzzle solutions instead of wasting stamina on backtracking.
  • Upgrade your best skills first. Use Memory/Anecdote/Legend Cubes to level your core damage or support skills; upgrading a single frequently used nuke or heal gives more value than spreading cubes across low-impact moves.

Progression “Cheats”: AP, Stamina, and Wonder Power

  • AP goes to money & bonds, stamina goes to power. Spend stamina on Realm/Progression and Palaces to raise levels and farm mats; use AP on high-value Confidants, Band Club, and money-making activities, never on low-yield filler.
  • Hard-focus Wonder (the MC). Wonder can equip multiple Personas and becomes your most flexible carry; early leveling, best Personas, and skill cubes on Wonder make every fight easier and unlock more build options later.​
  • Farm Persona Compendium and fuse aggressively. Filling the Compendium grants account-wide rewards, and fusing smarter Personas gives Wonder better coverage; don’t cling to weak early Personas when fusion can jump your power curve.

Gacha and Currency: Hidden Value and Avoiding Traps

  • Don’t waste premium currency on standard or Newcomer banners. Community advice is to clear Newcomer only with its discounted tickets/free pulls, and save meta jewels/premium gems for strong limited or festival banners.
  • Hunt “hidden” pull currency in side modes. Band Club, mini-games, gachapon machines, business/beginner plans, and event shops quietly hand out tickets, gems, and premium coins; clearing their milestones is effectively extra free multis over time.​
  • Plan around rate-ups and pity. Check upcoming-banner calendars before spending; dumping a few random pulls on off-meta banners is the fastest way to delay getting a top DPS or support.

Social, Confidants, and City Life Tech

  • Stack social stats with double-benefit activities. Gardening, certain jobs, and especially books that grant both stats and unlocks/wage boosts give more per AP than one-dimensional choices.
  • Prioritize high-impact Synergy Bonds. Focus early on bonds that give combat passives, better AP/stamina value, or more money/stat gains, then use gifts and correct dialogue to reduce the number of hangs needed per rank.​​
  • Use Third Eye and Palace guides to 100% stages in one go. Reading route/Palace guides and using Third Eye to spot puzzles and chests lets you clear collections and shards in a single run, saving stamina long-term.

Used together, these “cheat-like” optimizations, smart AP/stamina routing, targeted gacha spending, and leaning on One Mores, Third Eye, and Wonder’s multi-Persona kit, let you stay far ahead of the curve in Persona 5 The Phantom X without needing any actual cheats.
