When the Phantom Thieves aren’t busy stealing hearts in Persona 5 Royal, Joker will need to attend his classes, which include answering questions and passing exams. Much like real life, these quizzes will test your knowledge of various topics, and if you manage to get them right, Joker’s social stats will increase.
**Warning: This Article Contains Spoilers For Persona 5 Royal**
Given how vital these stats are and that many confidant encounters are locked behind certain stat levels, you should always take advantage of any opportunity to improve them that doesn’t waste your limited time. While most of the answers to these questions are taught in class, it can be easy to forget or get distracted, thus creating the need for a cheat sheet.
All Classroom Answers in Persona 5 Royal
Answer Every Question Correctly To Gain Maximum Social Stat Benefits
Persona 5 Royal is slightly different from the original, but one thing that remains the same is the ability to use the Network. Though the Network has other, more valuable features, one of the simpler things it can provide is the ability to see how other players answered the same question while it’s being asked by hitting the indicated button at the bottom of the screen. While there’s a slim chance that results could be mixed, the correct answer is typically overwhelmingly obvious from the votes.
Since using the Network requires you to be online, you will not have access to this feature if you are not playing online.
For Nintendo Switch players, this also means you will need to have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription to use the Network feature.
Furthermore, while maxing out your stats in P5R is not necessary to experience the full story, it is beneficial to have it as you will not be able to continue pursuing Confidants beyond a certain point until your levels increase. For example, increasing your Knowledge eventually unlocks the ability to continue progress with Akechi, which is crucial if you want to experience the newly added content specific to Persona 5 Royal.
