Morgana is your healer and can function as a pretty good magic user overall.

Garudyne and Magarudyne will be his main offensive line of spells. Wind Amp and Wind Boost help increase his damage even more.

Miracle Rush can serve as a good "backup" in case you can't use wind or need a crit urgently.

Salvation will cover his group healing and status removal. Samarecarm will be used for reviving but this can be removed for Diarahan, Masukunda or Wind Break as items can cover revival.

Evade Elec helps with avoiding his weakness which can prevent things from snowballing out of control.

Jazz Skill

Morgana has a lot of SP and as a healer, Debilitate gives him something else to do.

Walkthrough of choice
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/260936-persona-5-royal/faqs/78212/how-to-use

I used this guide for my personal playthrough of P5R. I have been updating this section occasionally with where I am in-game.

I was following the "Battle Route Walkthrough" which will enabled me to have access to all of the Jazz Room Skills. I will also be making a different build section with skills from the Jazz Club.

https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Crossword_Puzzle#Persona_5_Royal

The guide might possibly out of sync with the Crossword days so I've listed the link which gives the solution to each crossword puzzle.

I have completed the game and so far the guide has been accurate outside the below notices:

*Notice 1
Tue 5/31
Daytime
Lovers Hangout Inokashira
Choice 1: "Let's go somewhere fun" (This was not in the guide but thought I'd mention it here just in case)
Choice 3: "Let's just enjoy the air." (+3)"

*Notice 2
Wed 6/8
Evening
Play darts with any two party members in Kichijoji (Proficiency +5)
(Battle Route Proficiency Lv. 3)

I personally chose Ryuji and Yusuke (might need to reload to get the two you want as you pick one and the game pick another partner)

*Notice 3
Tue 8/18
Evening
[Normal Route] Affinity Reading (Y5000) with matching arcana (Devil +2)
[Battle Route] Devil Rank 5

I found that I still needed to do the Affinity Reading in order to reach Devil Rank 5

*Notice 4
Tue 11/2
Evening
Justice Rank 7 (Requires Knowledge Lv. 4)
Choice 1: "I'll think about it." (+0)

Make sure you pick Choice 3: "You're my rival."(though I've heard that Choice 1 still works but cannot confirm).

no third awakening skill on ryujji? kinda confused to not see it on here, as it’s just a better version of charge.
Klinestife 26 Oct, 2022 @ 12:42pm 
Royal has a lot more enemies with no weaknesses the further you get into the game. Max rank technicals give you 100% knockdown rate, so they're often the most reliable source of AOAs for those enemies. You'd be spending a lot more resources to kill a no weakness enemy without technicals, which is a point worth bringing up even though Royal is absolutely overloaded with restoratives.
Sleeping Bear  [author] 26 Oct, 2022 @ 12:14pm 
I must admit I never used much of the technical aspects of the team with my last playthrough. Always had the impression that it's better to just kill rather then focus on aliments but it's definitely something I will try out and see how it goes.

With RE to Jazz skills, I will give them a shoutout when I update the guide again but similar to why I didn't include Bike skills on my Persona 4 Golden Build Guide, not everyone might decide to make use of them or might miss out on them. With the builds I posted, they should be more achievable to get (though of course if they're only going down the true ending path).
Klinestife 26 Oct, 2022 @ 1:05am 
I commend the effort put into organizing this guide, and min maxing outside of merciless is pretty overkill, but I do have a lot of thoughts about the builds. I think you're undervaluing technicals quite a bit, as they're your best option for many no weakness enemies.

For example, Elec Boost is a waste on Skull and I feel it should be replaced with Shock Boost. His magic stat is so low that Elec Boost isn't going to help that much and you should only be using it for technicals and weakness hits.

You're also ignoring the Jazz club skills, some of which are massive. For instance, Charge, Arms/Spell Master, and Debilitate are all really big.

There's a GameFAQ thread that goes pretty in-depth with some endgame builds. There's no need to 1:1 copy it, it's just for some insight on how some of the real sweatlords optimize the characters.

Playing on Merciless and technicals being so strong in general. I believe there is an argument to be made to keep some of the ailments on some party members so they can support Joker more ie keeping Dorina or Lullaby on Ann. I know Raoul exists but having someone else set up sleep seems much more beneficial for Joker. Also I find having Hyakka Ryouran on Yusuke a bit too niche/waste as the SP cost is too high for what it does, especially when Neo Cadenza exists. I can only see its usefulness in not having joker spend his own turn doing Neo Cadenza.

If you do add more builds to this guide, I would also suggest looking into the Jazz club skills. Some of them are pretty huge for party members like Charge and Arms Master on Yusuke, which I would replace one of his bufudynes and Hyakka Ryouran with.
