How to Play[ | ]
Blackjack requires 5 players to begin. Each player selects a Hunter and Survivor they would like to use in game before the game begins.The player cannot change the Persona Web given to them when playing Blackjack. A standard Persona Web is used on all characters during Blackjack.
At the start of the game, the players all receive a card from the "host" of the game. The player can choose to draw a second card to increase their card points. The player with the highest total card points after everyone is done drawing cards will be the Hunter for the round. Like in real life Blackjack, players are not supposed to have their card points rack up beyond 21 and should strive to obtain 21 points.
Players playing as Survivors are required to contain the Hunter and decode cipher machines found around the map. The player playing as the Hunter is required to hunt Survivors. Players obtain store points by carrying out these tasks. The store points can be exchanged for boosts and items in the Blackjack Store found on the top left corner of the screen while the player is in game.
Earning Points[ | ]
Decoding a cipher machine will award the Player with 100 store points. Co-op decoding will speed up the process and both players will be awarded the same amount of points. Missing a calibration or leaving the cipher will decrease the total amount of points the player can receive from the decoding.
Containing the Hunter will award the Player a small amount of store points. Points are only awarded for escaping the Hunter, instead. Stunning and containing the Hunter will not award the Player with points, unfortunately.
Attacking Survivors will award the Player with 50 points per hit. Players will be incapacitated after one hit. Hitting Magician's illusions will not award points.

- Survivors will be instantly healed when the round ends.
- All abilities of characters have been somewhat adjusted to fit better in Blackjack mode.
- Hunter's secondary trait will be Teleport.
