Welcome to the Persona 5 Strikers Trophy Guide! This game is basically a sequel to Persona 5, but with a twist. Instead of being a traditional turn-based RPG the game takes a different direction in its gameplay. Imagine a mixture of Persona and a Musou Game. You will face huge waves of enemies at the same time, while being able to stop the time by using your persona to cast attacks on your enemy. Traditional Persona elements like All-Out Attacks and Batton Pass were also implemented into the fast combat system of this game. Storywise the game takes place 6 months after the events of Persona 5, the protagonist visits his friends in Tokyo to spend the summer with them by going on a road trip across Japan. Even without playing the original game, you can play Scramble and still get an idea what the story is about, since the game makes sure to explain plot to you as much as possible.
The game itself takes a good chunk of time to finish and it has2 missable trophies, one for doing all Friend’s Requests (Side Quests), and one for making 12 kinds of dishes. For the Friend’s Requests, the most importantthing is talking to your teammates at every possible occasion. They will give you requests which can only be obtained in certain locations at certain times, see Persona 5 Strikers – All Request Locations. You can return to any Jail you have visited later on, but you can’t go back to the cities you have been to. For the 12 kinds of dishes, make sure to finish the requests in a city and buy all the recipes for cooking as well, since those can also be missed. Don’t let the trophy list fool you, doing 50 Requests won’t be enough for platinum. You will need to complete almost all of them since some of them unlock new BOND Skills or new Personas.
The fastest way or reaching Max BOND is killing Metatron over and over again and you can do that in the final dungeon of the game.
After finishing the final boss battle you will have the opportunity to still visit all the dungeons. Additionally, a bunch of new requests will unlock as well for you to tackle. You will not be able to start New Game Plus without finishing certain requests first. The trigger for unlocking NG+ is defeating the Reaper, more on that topic in the trophy guide for the Reaper trophy. You will have to level up a lot and grind for Band Points as well at this step. It might take a while, so prepare for a grind. Make sure to fuse all the Persona in the compendium as well, except for the last one at Level 90 which you can only fuse in NG+.
For the “No Looking Back” trophy you have to start aNew Game+ run on the Merciless difficulty, but you can simply unlock the trophy and reload your master save to restart it on an easierdifficulty instead. In NG+ you will have to play until you can use the Fusions in the Velvet Room to fuse the final Persona missing in your list.

- Finish the main story
- Defeat all the story bosses in a rematch through the requests
- Defeat all the sub-bosses you will get a request for (the requests will state a strong enemy and where to find them in each jail). See Persona 5 Phantom Strikers – Requests Guide.
- Defeat all the bosses in a second rematch
Once all of those requests have been finished, you will receive the final request to fight the Reaper in the Okinawa Jail (he will be at the very end of the Jail). He isn’t particularly difficult in this game when your characters are leveled up. He is tanky and might take some time to defeat, but on easy difficulty you should have no problems with him at all.
Complete the Inmate Registry.
Mayed out a BOND skill level.
Maxed out all BOND skill levels.
A faster method for grinding BOND requires you to play the game on Merciless mode in NG+ and fighting Dire Shadows there will get you significantly more XP – but you obviously have to come prepared for the difficult fight. The further you get into the game, the more XP you will get from Dire Shadows. While the one in the Shibuya Dungeon gives you 42,000 XP, the one in Sendai gives you 62,000 XP. So the choise is up to you: staying on NG and fighting metatron for less XP or getting a build ready for Merciless and fighting the stronger enemies there.

Be sure to talk to each of your friends every day and finish their requests as soon as possible. They will sometimes require other requests to progress. Make sure to use the guide linked below. There is a possibility of the trophy not unlocking even though you have finished all the requests, so make sure to save your game on different save slots just in case.
