Persona 5 Strikers puts a new spin on a modern classic by radically changing up many of the things players are familiar with. As Joker, you’ll be heading back into the Metaverse in order to fight for the hearts of the people of Japan. It’s awesome to see the cast leave Tokyo and fight for truth and justice all across Japan and we’ve got the goods on how to best assist them in their endeavors.
While much of what players know from Persona 5 will still kind of work here, there are a lot of new things to keep in mind. Luckily for you, everything you need to know and more can be found right here in our guides and features hub. You’ll be cutting a swath through the demonic hoards in no time. Just watch out for spoilers. Some things are better left unsaid.

Boss guides (Location spoilers)
Not quite all of the bosses, but most of the major ones you’ll face. While these descriptions are spoiler-free (locations aside), the guides themselves are not. Be warned.
Request guides
Prison Mail requests list – Lavenza has nine requests that she doles out over the course of the game. Much like Justine and Caroline’s bond events, she wants you to fuse Personas with specific skills. Are you a bad enough dude to follow these simple steps?
Hidden Desire guides (Trapped In requests) – Every Jail has a single additional item that gets added to its map via these requests. All you’d normally get is a brief description. But we’re going to do even better and flat-out tell you exactly where they are.
