Persona 5 Royal is a JRPG developed by Atlus and published by Sony. As the Phantom Thieves, players delve into another world formed from people's cognition to steal the distorted desires of humanity, while also trying to live a normal student life between adventures.
Persona 5 Royal: How To Increase Proficiency
The Reaper has always been a deadly foe in the Persona series, though its appearance inPersona 5 had a crippling flaw that would make it possible to kill it with minimal effort during Flu Season. This was changed forPersona 5 Royal, making the Reaper as dangerous as ever.
The Reaper is level 85, though a level 60 party is sufficient for fighting it as long as players are well-prepared and adequately equipped. The Reaper has no weaknesses and no resistances or immunities. Players should ensure that the Phantom Thieves are ambushed by the Reaper, despite this seeming counterintuitive, as this will cause the Reaper to only take one turn instead of two in a row whenever it gets a turn.
Ordinarily, the Reaper uses elemental attacks to target the party's current weaknesses, but this can be prevented by casting Makarakarn. Doing this causes the Reaper to fall back on its almighty attack, «Megidolaeon,» but it will always charge before using it to boost the damage. As a result, players can take advantage of the turn it spends charging to buff up or attack and then guard on the turn it uses Megidolaeon to mitigate the damage.
