Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X)

Summer! Swimsuits! Sea Time! Event Rewards and Mechanics

Add to Watchlist

Persona 5 X Summer! Swimsuits! Sea Time!

Summer! Swimsuits! Sea Time! is an event that consists of two parts bridging Version 2.1 and Version 2.2 in Persona 5: The Phantom X (P5X). Learn how to beat Genbu and Raja Naga, complete each sub-event, see their rewards, and find out the release date and duration of this event!

How to Beat Raja Naga

Prioritize Beating Raja Naga

P5 Phantom X - Summer Event Part 2 - Defeat Raja Naga First

To clear the challenge battle, players must first target and defeat Raja Naga. While its alive, it will guarantee that its Naga allies will stay alive even when their HP is completely depleted. Once it is defeated, the other Naga can be slain like normal.

Remove Royal Decree Shield Stacks

P5 Phantom X - Summer Event Part 2 - Royal Decree Shield

At the start of the challenge fight, the Raja Naga will grant itself and its Naga allies stacks of Royal Decree, which provides a notable damage reduction from your team's attacks. Each attack will remove one stack of Royal Decree, and will completely deplete after 25 stacks have been removed.

An Ally will be targeted for an attack

P5 Phantom X - Summer Event Part 2 - Targeting an ally for an attack

At some point, if the Raja Naga survives in the battle while still having Royal Decree stacks, it will target one of your allies. At a certain point, it will unleash a high-damage attack at them, which can kill them in one hit if you do not have any Defense buffs active.

Bring Allies Resistant to Electric

P5 Phantom X - Summer Event Part 2 - All Naga have Electric attacks

Both Raja Naga and the Nagas all have Electric attacks, firing Maziongas and Ziodynes quite often as their basic attack. Take this to your advantage and field a team comp that is resistant to Electric attacks!

How to Beat Genbu

Prioritize Defeating Yurlungur First

Defeat Yurlungur
You should prioritize defeating Yurlungur first as it can heal them and make the battle longer. You will be at a disadvantage if the battle takes longer as Genbu can activate its abilities, High Tide and Ebb Tide.

Removed 1 Stack of Submerged by Defeating Decarabia

Decarabia
You can removed 1 stack of Submerged if you defeat a Decarabia. You can try to defeat them after Yurlungur, but you can ignore them if you think you can defeat Genbu in the next turn.

Defeat Genbu by the Third Turn

Genbu
Try to defeat Genbu as early as 3rd Turn as he will be able to use Ebb Tide to reset and inflict multiple Submerged Stacks and heal itself.

Submerged is an ability where it damages the foes equal to 10% of max HP at the end of each turn. It lasts 4 turns and can stack.

Best Team to Use

Best Personas vs. Raja Naga

Personas
DionysusDionysus KohryuKohryu Leanan SidheLeanan Sidhe

All of the Nagas are weak to Psycokinetic attacks, making the Persona choices for Wonder a lot easier. Dionysus can attack while boosting the team's critical hit rate with Revolution, Kohryu has two powerful multi-target attacks in Spirit Strike and Psycho Blast, and Leanan Sidhe can decrease the enemies' defense with Psychokinetic Disruption.

Best Personas vs. Genbu

Personas
DominionDominion JanosikJanosik SurtSurt

These Personas can be used on any stage in this sub-event. Dominion can provide bonus damage to the team, Janosik as the AoE damage dealer, and Surt for the negative defense.

Best Characters vs. Raja Naga

Characters
Seaside Tomoko Seaside Tomoko Ayaka Sakai Ayaka Sakai Tropical Motoha Tropical Motoha Miyu Sahara Miyu Sahara

Not only are these the best characters to use for this sub-event, this is the best team comp for the event in general. Seaside Tomoko shines best when paired together with Tropical Motoha, supporting her incredible sweeping damage with her own multi-target Psychic attacks that also provide heals for the team.

Chord is part of the team for her damage buffs and ability to trigger Highlight with just a skill. For survivability, we recommend Puppet for her bevy of shield that goes well with Seaside Tomoko's constant healing.

Best Characters vs. Genbu

Characters
Tropical Motoha Tropical Motoha Ayaka Sakai Ayaka Sakai Minami Miyashita Minami Miyashita Yumi Shiina Yumi Shiina

These are best characters to use for this sub-event. Tropical Motoha is highly recommended as her Bless Damage is the strongest at the current version of the game. You can have Minami Miyashita as the healer of the team.

Ayaka Sakai can be your damage buffer and Highlight provider. Yumi Shiina can be your off-field character as she can buff the damage of a single element in battle, which should be focused on Bless as your DPS is Tropical Motoha.

Boss Stage Info

Raja Naga Boss Stage

Enemy WK STR NUL RPL
Raja Naga Psychic Electric - -
Naga Psychic Electric - -

All of the enemies in the boss stage are weak to Psychic attacks and resistant to Electric attacks. This makes team composition a lot simpler compared to the Gembu stage as both of their affinities are the same.

We suggest to build a team around a Psychic DPS with all of them as strong as possible in Level 80, especially against enemies on Stages 4 and 5. If you have both Seaside Tomoko and Tropical Motoha, they are the best characters to run for this event.

Genbu Boss Stage

Enemy WK STR NUL RPL
Genbu Bless Psychic Ice -
Decarabia Bless Nuke, Curse - Fire
Yurlungur Bless - Electric -

All enemies in the Boss Stage are weak against Bless, so it's best to build your team around a Bless Team. You should also level up your characters to at least level 80, as the enemies will be at that level on Stage 4 and 5.

Strange Changes on the Beach Sub-Event Info

Enemy and Boss Challenge Event

Boss Challenge

Strange Changes on the Beach is a sub-event where you fight enemies like Genbu (for Part 1) and Raja Naga (for Part 2). You have to complete the stages for enemies first (Normal) to unlock the boss.

You can easily clear the Normal Stages if you use the Tropical Motoha Trial Character for Part 1 and Seaside Tomoko for Part 2 of this sub-event!

Shaved Ice Shuffle Sub-Event Info

Rules and Mechanics

P5 Phantom X - Summer Event Part 2 - Shaved Ice Shuffle

My party is maxed out and I still can't defeat Genbu 5, the only difference is I have Riko Tanemura as my navigator. I can't kill the adds in time so the boss absorbs them, I don't know what I am doing wrong.
