Sophia’s Online Shop Guide

Like any other RPGs, shops play an important role for keeping the protagonist’s party properly equipped and supplied. In Persona 5 Strikers, you’ll encounter various shops that have the same function. However, there’s one particular shop that’s conveniently accessible and will cater to the Phantom Thieves’ needs. In this short guide, we will tackle Sophia’s shop and how you can take advantage of what she has to offer.

By leveling up the skill, more items will be included in the sale as well as increasing the discount you can get (up to 60% off). The items that may go on sale may include stuff that Sophia doesn’t normally sell, like the rare ingredient Select Coffee Beans, for example.

Sophia’s shop opens as soon as she joins the Phantom Thieves as part of the story, quite early in the game, on 7/27. Once available, you can access the shop from your Hideout or later on, from your RV. You can conveniently access your hideout by leaving Jails from any checkpoint. Here you can buy weapons, protectors, accessories, and consumable items. You can also sell the materials/junk you’ve collected, as well as old equipment or excess consumables.

As you continue through the story, Sophia’s Shop will also expand its inventory. You’ll also be able to add more items in her shop by completing specific requests. After getting the Smart Shopper bond skill, Sophia will have some items on sale from time to time. Don’t pass on getting these discounted items since you may find items on sale that are not part of Sophia’s normal inventory! Additionally, if you missed getting a recipe for Joker’s Kitchen, it will appear in Sophia’s shop but at an incredibly marked up price.

Items on sale on Sophia’s Shop get restocked/reshuffled whenever you visit a Jail and return from it. So it’s possible to farm for highly-discounted stuff by just going to the jail, clearing a small area, then exiting out. That way, you’ll have items to sell and earn money to buy the discounted items, not to mention that you’re also getting EXP and Bond EXP.
