In this segment of the video, Rosalyn introduces the newly added persona trait system and persona balance changes in “Persona 5 Royale.” She highlights that persona traits become available when players start Madarame’s Palace, and every persona in the game, including party members’ personas, will have a specific trait. These traits, displayed in yellow text, provide passive effects such as reducing SP costs or increasing damage, which become more varied and powerful as the game progresses. Traits are not random; each persona has an innate trait, and while DLC persona traits cannot be passed down, others can be inherited through persona fusion. Traits only activate in battle and do not affect skills used outside of combat.

In this part of the video, several recommendations and insights are provided for traits in Persona 5, based on extensive gameplay experience. Traits that reduce SP costs for healing skills are beneficial early in the game, while Kimmy’s confidant rank 5 can make SP adhesives accessible, potentially shifting priorities. To deal with frequent status ailments, traits that lower the affliction rate are recommended. Reworked technical damage makes status ailments like freeze highly useful, especially before leveling up technical skills fully.
Having personas that benefit from bad weather to increase status effect chances are advantageous. Technical damage buffs and traits increasing weak spot damage by 50% are significant for increasing efficiency in battles. Several unique, late-game traits such as Alice’s resistance to instant death and powerful buffing skills from Addis are recommended. Additionally, party members’ persona traits are highlighted: Ryuji’s damage increase for physical skills, Morgana’s healing boost, Ann’s SP cost reduction for offensive magic, and Futaba’s unique all-out attack that heals the party, among others. These traits collectively contribute to enhanced gameplay and strategic advantage.
