Introduction
A Guide by DK and Samakin_Pie
Welcome to the Persona 5 Tactica Trophy Guide! This game is a Persona 5 Spinoff which mixes a strategy game with your typical Persona mechanics. The game follows the Phantom Thieves during another adventure they were pulled into accidentally, featuring turn-based strategy gameplay. Contrary to other Persona games, there is no social life aspect to the gameplay and the whole game features only cutscenes and combat. It’s not particularly long when compared to your regular Persona games or spinoffs and should take around 30 hours to platinum when watching every scene in the game. You will have to finish the game almost 2 times (1 full run and one almost full New Game+ run).
Step 1: Play through Story while finishing all the Quests, Awards, Conversations
Play through the game once and finish all the quests in order to be able to unlock all the Persona fusions that are locked behind the quest completion. Get all mission Awards, listen to all the dialogues, and get all combat trophies as well. You do not need to grind to the Max level in your first run since you will have to do that in NG+ anyway to unlock the last Personas. Make sure to fuse 3 Personas that have the EXP skill inherited from Dionysus Persona (or Dionysus itself) so your full party always has those 3 Personas in NG+ for faster leveling.

Step 2: Play through New Game+ until you reach level 91 to unlock all Personas
Some of the Personas in the game are only available in New Game+ and one of them requires you to be at least level 91. So leveling up to 99 in your first run is pointless, since you need to reach level 91 in NG+ anyway. Your level does NOT carry over between playthroughs. You can however summon all Personas you have already created in your first run. As mentioned before, have all your party members use a Persona with Dionysus’ skill “Knack for Conflict” which will grant you significantly more EXP after each fight. Put it on all your party members to speed up the process.
Step 3: Clean Up
Once you reach Mission 43 in your NG+ run, grind it using the level grinding method from the trophy guide below (see Unparalleled Growth) until you reach level 99 for the trophy, fuse all the remaining Personas you need using the Compendium Guide and clean up everything else you still might be missing.

Unparalleled Growth Reached max level. |
||
Max Level in the game is level 99. During a regular playthrough you will reach about level 80. An easy way to reach max level afterwards is replaying mission 43 while having 3 Personas with a skill that grants you more EXP. Dionysus Persona has this skill so you can have Dionysus equipped with one of the characters and fuse Dionysus to other Personas twice while inheriting the skill to them, so all your party has the skill.
You can finish Mission 43 very quickly with the following method:
With that method you can finish the map in just 6 moves (only 1 turn) and when you have 3 EXP Personas equipped you will gain about 1.5 level-ups, even at level 90+, in just about 2-3 minutes. Reaching max level doesn’t take very long, but keep in mind you will have to reach level 91 in New Game+ anyway to fuse the highest NG+ exclusive Persona. Therefore, it would be most efficient to save the grind until New Game+. |

Metaverse Aristocrat Accumulated 666,666 yen. |
||
For this you do not need to have the amount of money at the same time. You can spend the money you have and not worry about the trophy since it will accumulate throughout your playtime. If you want to grind money faster, fuse the persona Fortuna which comes with a skill that grants you about 50% more money after each mission. | ||
The Ultimate Mask Fused Satanael. |
||
In order to be able to unlock Satanael you will have to be at least level 96 as well as have beaten all the Quests in the game. Doing so will unlock the Special Fusion for Satanael.

Ultimate Strike Dealt 2,000 damage in a single attack. |
||
You do not have to hit a single enemy with a single attack that does 2,000 damage. It counts all the numbers for each enemy you hit during an attack. A good method for this is doing it late into the game with Ann’s Hellfire attack. Group up some enemies, Focus with Ann the turn before for a ATK boost and have Ryuji in the party with his ATK boost skill as well. Hellfire has a ridiculously big hitbox which makes it easy to hit many enemies.
Another good option is Lavenza’s Third Trial since many enemies spawn there. In later enemy waves you will face a lot of enemies at the same time. Down them to get a ‘One More’ and spread your team to a huge triangle throughout the map to hit as many as possible with the All-Out Attack for massive numbers. |

LichPopi4 says
Goat as always
CarrieAnnie says
It says nothing is missable, does that mean you can’t miss a conversation if you don’t select it before doing the conditions to unlock the next?
DK says
Since the conversations do not disappear at all I am very confident you can’t miss them.
Even when a new conversation unlocks, the older ones can still be selected in the same menu, they never disappear from there.
Lee says
Once again, bless you PowerPyx, for having all of this at launch
Chupapies says
Are Personas drop rng from specific quests or can they appear in any quest? Can I farm the same 6-turn quest over and over until I have them all?
DK says
Yes, they are pretty much random. Didn’t notice any pattern for them.
It is pointless farming for personas since you can fuse them without having to rely on rng…
FamedGuardian says
Awesome, thank you for having this at launch!
JarvisMcGee says
For the trophies of inflicting status like Despair, if you one shot the enemy with the ability that inflicts it, does it still count? Or does the enemy have to survive while being inflicted with it?
CarrieAnnie says
You can kill them. I was getting trophies even after enemies were getting one shot’d
Nikki_boagreis says
Thank’s for submitting this trophy guide, Persona 5 Tactica is the next game im going for platinum after im done with Disgaea 7.
CarrieAnnie says
Does the progress for the trophies like 500 turns, all out attacks, etc carry over to NG+ or should I grind those out before starting the next run?
MadGardena says
Late but maybe for late gamers … even if not as the game has 52 stages and 15 quest = 67 mission youll get it in NG+ when you go for the max level trophy or are very close to it.
ryan says
to anybody trying to auto pop the plat with their ps4 save all the trophies can unlock but the one for buying weapons might not so after transfering save sell all your guns and rebuy the fifty cheapest that unlocked the trophy and ps5 plat for me.
Hawkwind says
I wanted to warn people about something. It is essential that you make a save *BEFORE* starting the final boss fight. While the game lets you make a save right at the start of the battle, you aren’t able to replay any missions from there. You have to make a save in the last area before starting the final boss fight. I am currently in a situation where I don’t have a save before the final boss. I started NG+ using clear data, and you can’t replay missions in NG+ until you have cleared them again during the story. I now have to play through almost the entire game again because I didn’t get 3 stars on some of the missions. Any chance this could be mentioned in the trophy guide?
