Quick Links
There is a lot to keep track of inPersona 5: The Phantom X. Over time, you’ll unlock more aspects of the game. Surprisingly, Revelation Cards unlock pretty late in the game. What makes this surprising is that Revelation Cards essentially act as your defensive gear. But while they have basic stat boosts associated with them, there is a little more going on with them that needs to be explored.
Unlocking the ability to equip Revelation Cards is only half the battle. Once they are available, you’re going to want to figure out how togetthem. We’ll give you the ins and outs of how Revelation Cards work, we’ll tell you where you can get your hands on them, and we’ll break down the bonuses associated with each.
How Do You Unlock Revelation Cards?
Revelation Cards unlock at level 35. The moment you hit that level, you will be given a very brief tutorial telling you that you can now equip these Revelation Cards. It is vital that you do not ignore this new mechanic, asRevelation Cards give your units a massive stat boostthe moment you get your hands on them. As I already said in the intro, these are basically your core equipment. If you don’t get your team decked out in gear sooner rather than later, you’ll find that they start getting stomped by the tougher baddies.
How Do You Get Revelations Cards?
There are twoprimaryways to get Revelation Cards…
At level 35, you won’t be able to farm for any high-level Revelation Cards. So, any cards you get will eventually need to be replaced. That’s not an amazing use of your stamina. You will only want to hit the Realm of Repression if you are absolutely desperate for a very specific set. Otherwise,driving around Aiyatsbus and snatching up treasures will do you fineuntil you are a high enough level to farm for gold Revelation Cards.
How Do Revelation Cards Work?
Revelation cards are pretty simple. You have four slots represented by theSun, Moon, Star, and Sky. Cards can only be equipped in the slot that they are marked for. Sets get a boost when you have two of one kind and four of one kind. You will almost always want toaim for the four-set boost, as it activates the more powerful ability.
What Are Sub-stats?
While the effects never change,the stats given by each card are randomized. A card will gain stats as it levels up, maxing out at five stats. Obviously, some stats are going to be better suited to certain card types than others. As an example, the Peace set is good for defensive builds. So, you are probably hoping to get an HP boost, not an Attack Power boost. There is no way to control what sub-stat you will receive. It is all just luck of the draw.
What Do The Different Colors Represent?
Just like with weapons, the rarity of your Revelation Cards is represented by colors. The hierarchy of quality, from least to most, isgray, blue, purple, and gold. The higher the quality, the higher you will be able to level the card up, and the more powerful it can become.
