Persona 5 Strikers blends action RPG combat with Persona's signature style. Here's a breakdown of essential controls:

- Movement: Left Analog Stick (PS/Switch) / WASD (PC) to move.
- Camera: Right Analog Stick (PS/Switch) / Mouse (PC) to control the camera.
- Attack (Light): Square (PS) / Y (Switch) / Left Click (PC) for quick, low-damage attacks.
- Attack (Heavy): Triangle (PS) / X (Switch) / Right Click (PC) for slower, high-damage attacks, often breaking shields or launching enemies.
- Jump: X (PS) / B (Switch) / Space (PC) to jump over obstacles or reach higher ground.
- Dodge: Circle (PS) / A (Switch) / Shift (PC) to quickly evade enemy attacks. Timing is crucial for perfect dodges, which can lead to counter-attacks.
- Persona Ability Menu: R1 (PS) / R (Switch) / Q (PC) to open the Persona ability menu during combat. This pauses the action, allowing you to strategically select skills.
- Showtime: L1 + R1 (PS) / L + R (Switch) / E + R (PC) when the Showtime gauge is full. This unleashes a powerful, character-specific ultimate attack.
- Interact: Circle (PS) / A (Switch) / F (PC) to interact with objects, talk to NPCs, or open doors.
- Stealth: L3 (PS) / Left Stick Click (Switch) / C (PC) to crouch and move stealthily, allowing for ambush attacks.
Mastering these basic controls will allow you to navigate both the real world and the Jails effectively, setting the stage for successful combat encounters and exploration.
