How to Level Persona Skills in Persona The Phantom X

One of the unwritten rules of Persona 5: The Phantom X is that Persona Skills can be leveled up, and players need to keep this in mind before engaging in any difficult fight, since the level of the Phantom Assassin’s Persona skills determines how much damage they do, how much health they can recover, and how effective their buffs and debuffs are.
