How to Get Stardust Shard
Stardust Shard Gained Daily
Stardust Shards are a brand new currency added to the game starting in Version 1.4 alongside the Mindscape. These are what you need to spend in order to unlock Mindscapes.
As for gaining them, players earn them passively upon logging in daily. However, the amount of Shards earned will be determined by your current progress with your Velvet Trials.
Progress in Velvet Trials
How much Stardust Shards you gain daily is determined by the number of stars you have earned in the Velvet Trials. The more stars you collect, the higher the payout of the Stardust Shards everyday.
This encourages the player to keep progressing through each of the difficult challenges found in this game mode.
How to Get Stardust Bell
Spend Stamina in Realm of Repression: Pursuit of Starshot
In Version 3.0, a new material is available to be farmed only in Realm of Repression to get more Stardust Bell to use and enhance the node in the inner circle of Mindscape specifically to upgrade the character's stats.

Who to Use Mindscapes On
Your Favorite Characters
Players do have a tendency to spend a lot, if not everything, on a character they particularly like. If there is a character from the current roster of Phantom Thieves you have a preference for, by all means make them as strong as can be.
The Strongest Characters in Your Account
Depending on the player's luck, some characters might just be stronger compared to others. Sometimes it could be because they have their best-in-slot weapon equipped, or they happen to have a couple of Awareness levels unlocked.
It might be a worthwhile investment to make those stronger characters even better through Mindscape upgrades.
P5X Tier List for Best Characters
Assassins or Sweepers
For the most part, dealing damage is still the most important aspect in Persona 5: The Phantom X, as most of the objectives here require depleting an enemy's HP to 0.
In that case, investing additional stats and buffs to Assassins or Sweepers makes the most sense, as they can hit harder, which could be the big difference between winning or losing a hard boss fight.
What to Unlock
There are two types of nodes to unlock within a Phantom Thief's Mindscape: there's an Outer Ring, and the Inner Ring.
Outer Ring - Stat Strengthening
The first thing players will need to unlock first are the nodes on the Outer Ring of a Mindscape map. There are 12 of them available, and while the values for each character will be different, it is the same set for all characters.
Each of these 12 nodes will cost Stardust Shards, and it becomes more expensive the further you go.
| # | Buff | Stardust Shard Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Increase HP | 100 |
| 2 | Increase Defense | 150 |
| 3 | Increase Attack | 200 |
| 4 | Increase HP | 300 |
| 5 | Increase Defense | 400 |
| 6 | Increase Attack | 500 |
| 7 | Increase HP | 650 |
| 8 | Increase Defense | 800 |
| 9 | Increase Attack | 950 |
| 10 | Increase HP | 1100 |
| 11 | Increase Defense | 1250 |
| 12 | Increase Attack | 1450 |
If you want to unlock the entire Outer Ring of Mindscape buffs for one character, you would have to pay out a total of 7,850 Stardust Shards.
Inner Ring - Abilities and Skills
The second part of the Mindscape is the Inner Ring, which are normally unlocked after getting to the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th stat buffs on the Outer Ring.
These ones will wildly differ based on your characters, as they are meant to be buffs and upgrades to their existing Abilities and Skills.
What is Mindscape?
Way to Make Character Stronger Beyond Leveling Up
Mindscapes are an additional way to make a character stronger, beyond leveling them up and equipping them with Revelation Cards and Weapons.
These are permanent buffs to the character, which will affect their stats, Abilities and Skills depending on what the player unlocks in that character's Mindscape.
