Master Arts Guide
Thank you for printing this page from www.SuperCheats.com.Remember to come back to check for updates to this guide and much more content for Persona 5 Strikers
Last Updated:
In Persona 5 Strikers, combat will take up most of your playthrough. There are several things you can do to improve on how well your team will perform in battle. Some of these range from leveling up your characters, giving them the best equipment, getting some combat-focused Bond Skills, etc. Master Arts is one of those factors that can further improve the combat effectiveness of individual Phantom Thieves members.
In this page, we will discuss what Master Arts are, how to unlock Master Arts, and the list of all master arts for your characters.
What are Master Arts
Each character in P5S has four Master Arts exclusive to them. These master arts are inclined towards the character’s combat style and their default elemental affinity. You can always review your characters’ Master Arts by going to the Command menu and selecting Stats.
How to Unlock Master Arts
To unlock Master Arts, you have to keep playing the character and keep defeating enemies. Take note that only the character you're using will progress through their Master Arts. Using weak attacks to chain long combos is a great way to grind for Master Arts. You can also use the same strategy against bosses since they have a lot of HP but this will require mastering the timing of perfect evasions.
To grind for Master Arts, try focusing on a single character then move on to the other. There’s no shortcut or a reliably tested method for grinding Master Arts progression; you really need to fight a lot to train your characters. There’s a total of 36 Master Arts to master and it’s going to be a lengthy one. If you’re a completionist, unlocking all Master Arts for all characters will have a corresponding trophy to unlock. Thankfully, you don’t really need to do mindless grinding for Master Arts progression only. Remember that there are repeatable requests in the game that reward you with money, items, and more so do your grind run while doing these optional tasks to make the most out of your time.
