Persona 5 Royal
Hereward is the third-tier Persona of Goro Akechi. In order for Loki to evolve into Hereward, on the 2nd of Feburary, after sending Takuto Maruki the calling card and being asked by Akechi about the false reality, he must then not accept it; Accepting it results in a bad ending. Once he does, Loki and Robin Hood merge to become Hereward.
It learns a unique skill upon its evolution from Loki (反逆の刄, lit. "Rebel's Blade"), which deals severe Almighty damage to a single target and deals bonus damage to enemies that are knocked down.
Due to the unique unlocking conditions of this Persona, it is impossible to use it or view its entry in the compendium prior to February 3rd, where combat is last available. This applies even for New Game Plus.
