Atlus has just shared another new video that showcases the Kyoma enemies in action. The gameplay video features Phantom Thieves fighting against Kyoma enemies, which are personas of powerful enemies and can be found in Mementos and Palaces.
The Kyoma enemies have been shown to have an interesting fighting technique where they counter-attack anytime you or your party members attack them. Once you defeat them, any enemy alive will also take a huge amount of damage. This suggests that defeating them early on can help players massively and can bring the fight to a close much quicker.

When you defeat the Kyoma enemies, they will drop Black Stones that you can collect and use on your Personas for various accessories. So far, we only know that you can get accessories, but more rewards will be detailed in the future.
A couple of weeks back, Morgana reported about the many new features that will be coming in the game. This included the new battle elements and the Kichijoji area. Morgana reported the Show Time attack which is the special team attack of Yusuke and Anne. This double-team move was also featured in the recent character trailers. Once confidant bonds have increased, the Show Time maneuvers are unlocked. This can allow Phantom Thieves to team up for a more stylish looking attack.
Kichijoji also features unique shops like the Rag Shop. This shop allows you to trade any armor you obtained in palaces and Mementos for money. And by saving up trade-in points, you may be able to exchange them for something good.
The report also talks in response to a user question about whether the original story of Persona 5 will see major changes due to the new elements added to Persona 5 Royal.
There is another Morgana’s Report that will come out next month in August. This will be the fourth report from Morgana. Persona 5 is set to release on October 31 for the PlayStation 4 in Japan. A western release will follow next year in 2020. Post your comments below.
