question about persona EXP

[Tyrone Biggums]

do all personas in your possession gain EXP per battle or only if you used them in the fight itself as in taking an action etc

[SubTonic]

Only the equipped Persona gains XP, so if you wanna level one of them up, you have to end the fight with Joker having it summoned. Generally speaking, leveling up Personas via combat is really inefficient anyway and you're meant to use Confidants and the Velvet Room to boost them up. Basically don't worry about it unless one of them is going to learn a very good skill next level.

No need to care about Persona's level. Later, you will get Gallows which can make a Persona reach lvl 99 + 99 all stats in a day game time.

The skills growth will also allow personas to gain experience while not in battle.

only the equipped persona gets the exp unless another in your possession has a growth skill

It seems bad, but as I said earlier, you're mainly supposed to use Confidant XP boosts and such to level your Personas. Leveling them via combat is a huge waste of time. This isn't Nocturne, the social aspect of the game is meant to subsidize the leveling. Trust me, once you get to mid and end game, you'll be struggling to decide which skills to inherit and throw away after your fusion gains 4-5 levels automatically.

Growth 3 is pretty easy to get and duplicate once you unlock and/or raise Yusuke's confidant and unlock the guillotine in velvet room to turn personas into cards or gear.
