Showtime
Showtime is a battle mechanic in Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers.
Gameplay
Persona 5 Royal
In Royal, Showtimes are unlocked after being given Jose's Star by Jose while in Mementos. Showtimes need no HP or SP to use, with their damage being mostly based on the activating party member's player level, the enemy's level, and the endurance stat of the enemy, with the equipment worn and the Persona equipped having no effect[1]. The attack has Almighty elemental affinity, but is affected by buffs affecting Physical skills, i.e. Charge. The damage is also affected by attack buffs such as Tarukaja and enemy defense buffs/debuffs, as well as the damage buff from Baton Pass.
The Showtimes are unlocked after seeing a conversation between the two characters involved. These conversations are triggered by going to the hideout on or after a certain date or other condition is met[1]. Additionally, each Showtime is named after a movie.
