What are Velvet Trials?

Optional Challenges for Wonder

P5 Phantom X - Battles in Velvet Trials

The Velvet Trials are optional boss battles set up by Merope to test Wonder and his teammates. The more battles you win, the harder the challenges that will unlock.

Depending on their performance during the boss fight, players will be rated on a points-based system. Certain actions will reward more points, and will contribute to the final score. This score will determine your rating from 0 to 3 stars, and these stars can be used to receive rewards!

Great Place to Test Characters and Team Comps

The Velvet Trials are also a great way to test out your characters for team compositions! Each of the nodes here will test your roster's flexibility, from the teammates you field to the Personas Wonder is equipped with.

Main Way to get Stardust Shards for Mindscapes

P5 Phantom X - Stardust Shard Gained Daily in Velvet Room

Your current progress in the Velvet Trials will determine how much Stardust Shards you will get daily, which are meant to be used to unlock a character's Mindscape.

The more challenges you complete in each stage of the Velvet Trials, the more stars earned, and that means more Stardust Shards obtained!
