Revelation Cards in P5X explained
At Level 35, you’ll unlock the first four categories of Revelation Card: Sun, Moon, Star, and Sky. The symbol doesn’t have much of an effect on their stats, but each character only has one slot of each category, so if you want a full set, you’ll need to get one of each symbol. On top of that, cards come in four rarity tiers: Grey, Blue, Purple, Gold – from worst to best – that determines how many stats they boost on top of the main boost. You can also spend resources to enhance these cards, increasing the main stat boost with every level, and the sub-stats with every five.
Your main goal for Revelation Cards should be to get set bonuses, which unlock when a character has the same card equipped in multiple slots. Each card has one bonus for two cards, and one for four, and getting both will significantly power up the equipped character. It’s a system all about focusing characters around how you think they’re most effectively used.

Space cards are the second type of Revelation Cards, which don’t unlock until Wonder hits Level 40, and they give you extra bonuses provided you’ve committed to a set in all the other slots. Each Space card has multiple combinations, so you can spec your characters even further into their main role.

How to get Space Revelation Cards in P5X
