Persona5: The Phantom X Co-op and Multiplayer Guide
Updated 2026-06-03
Persona5: The Phantom X has both co-op and PVP modes — a first for the Persona series. Here is how they work and which one is worth your time.
Co-op Mode: Phantom Raids
Phantom Raids let you team up with two other players (three total) to take down giant Shadows. Each raid has a 15-minute timer and the boss has millions of HP. Coordination matters — one player tanks, one DPS, one healer/support. The rewards include exclusive crafting materials and raid currency for the shop.
| Raid Tier | Level Requirement | Boss HP | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 20+ | 500,000 | Raid tokens, materials |
| Hard | 40+ | 2,000,000 | Raid tokens, 4-star weapon |
| Nightmare | 55+ | 5,000,000 | Raid tokens, 5-star weapon shards |
| Lunatic | 65+ | 10,000,000 | Exclusive title, rare crafting |
PVP Mode: Phantom Arena
PVP is a real-time 3v3 battle where you control your team against another player's team. Characters are auto-balanced to level 60 in PVP, but gear and duplicates still matter. The meta is dominated by Joker, Akechi, and Sophia teams. Ranked seasons last one month, with exclusive cosmetics for top 100 players.
FAQ
- Is co-op required for progression?
- No. Raids are optional but offer the best gear outside the gacha.
- Is PVP pay-to-win?
- Somewhat. Whales with maxed-out characters have a clear advantage. But skill matters — a well-timed Baton Pass can beat a wallet warrior.
- Can I play with friends on different servers?
- No. You must be on the same server region to party up.
