The Persona series has always stood out with its social system, where interactions you have outside of dungeons give you benefits inside dungeons.Persona 5 Royalis no different. Across the 22 Confidants in the game, you can earn everything from higher health and SP to special abilities and specific Personas. Earning it all, though, requires specific actions and, more importantly, specific dialogue choices. In this guide, we’re going to cover everything you need to know about Confidants inPersona 5 Royal,including the ones you can romance.

General Confidant tips in Persona 5 Royal
Before diving in, here are some general tips for maxing out your Confidants inPersona 5 Royal.
Equip the right Persona
Before you meet someone, check their arcana affiliation in the pause menu, and make sure you have in your possession a Persona that matches it. Your rank with them will increase more quickly if you do. If you want to meet a specific person and don’t have a persona with the same affiliation, you can always head to the Velvet Room and summon one without using up a time slot.
Know the right spots
Later inPersona 5,you’ll be able to choose a hang-out destination from your map when hanging out with a confidant whose bond isn’t close to ranking up. Choose hang-out destinations that match your friend’s interests, like the museum for Yusuke or a restaurant for Ryuji.
Buy all the gifts
Buy all the gifts you can in the underground mall and other locations, so you always have options when it comes up. This applies only to characters that you’re able to romance, although gifts can come in handy whether or not you’re looking to start a relationship.
Pray for friendship
If the confidant you want to rank up isn’t around, pray for them at the Meiji shrine (once you unlock it as a destination). Your progress toward the next rank will increase even though they’re not available in that time slot, priming your social link for the next time you do hang with them.
Check the map
By pulling up the map with R1, you can actually see which locations have confidants — there’s a little icon next to a train stop if there’s a buddy there. Even better, you can get more info about them if you highlight that stop and hit the square button, including who’s there and whether your link with them is close to ranking up.
You can check the next confidant skill
If you navigate through the confidants section in the pause menu, you can actually see the next skill or perk that ranking up a confidant will provide, as well as what level you need to get the rank to. This can be useful when deciding how to spend your time.
Save-scumming refers to the practice of manually saving your game before undergoing an important action or choice, then re-loading that save if something goes wrong. If you’re stressed about making a mistake while building up your social links, like choosing the wrong dialogue or giving the wrong gifts, you can always resort to trial and error.
Confidants in Persona 5 Royal
You can level most of your Arcana simply by socializing with your Confidants. However, some Confidants are only available on certain days or during certain times of the day, so it’s best to learn their patterns to maximize your playthrough. Here, we’re going to run down every rank for each of the Confidants in the game, as well as the rewards you get for reaching each rank. Dialogue choice matters with some Confidants, so we have the dialogue options below.
Some Confidant ranks require that you’re on the path to the true ending, too. to achieve the true ending, you’ll need to reach Confidant rank 9 with Maruki by 11/18, rank 8 with Akechi by 11/24, and rank 5 with Yoshizawa by 12/18. You’ll also need to refuse every offer presented to you in your third semester. Without spoiling anything, you’ll know when it comes up. Also, playable characters have an Awakening rank, which transforms their main Persona into something else. This rank only applies if you return for the extra semester inRoyal.It doesn’t apply to the base game.
We have dialogue choices below, including the correct choices for romance options. Some Confidants have follow-up phone conversations, but the feature is exclusive toRoyal.Any romance options only come up during the last two ranks, ignoring the Awakening. Also, some Confidant lines only level up during conversation, but dialogue choices don’t matter. These Confidants simply have “social” in the “how to unlock” column. You can jump directly to a Confidant using the links below:
0. Fool (Igor)
Igor’s Confidant line levels up automatically, so you don’t have to worry about it when playing. You’ll max out the line on 12/24, which is right before the game ends.

I. Magician (Morgana)
Morgana’s line levels up automatically, too, though the last two levels require that you’re on the true ending path.
II. Priestess (Makoto Niijima)

He’s a bit tough to find, but you’ll find him around during evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, rain or shine. The Justice Arcana has a deadline, too. You need to reach rank 8 by 11/17 or earlier. This Confidant line also has prerequisites for Awakening, which we’ve noted with “(AWK)” below.

X. Fortune (Chihaya Mifune)
Chihaya Mifune is a fortune teller in Shinjuku, and unlike the Confidant lines we’ve covered so far, you can miss her line entirely. Before you can unlock the Fortune Arcana, you need to visit Chihaya after 6/22. Once you find her, ask her for a reading, then return on a different day and purchase the Holy Stone from her (100,000 yen). Finally, return to her a third time to get the “Ending the Boyfriend’s Abuse” Mementos request. Complete it, and you’ll unlock the Fortune Arcana.
Once it’s unlocked, you’ll find Chihaya in the same spot during evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. She’s not available when it rains. She is, however, a romance option, but you’ll need some specific dialogue choices to unlock her romance line before the last two ranks. We’ve noted those in the table below with “(R).”

3:“So I can be with you.”
Phone:“I wanted to hear your voice too.”
1:“You’ve changed.”
6:“It’s actually pretty cute.”
XI. Strength (Twin Wardens)
The Twin Wardens give you their Confidant line almost immediately. Instead of interacting with them, you need to fuse a Persona with a specific ability to progress the Confidant line. Doing so doesn’t advance time, and you can progress any time you could enter the Velvet room. Finding the correct Persona with a certain ability is complicated, so we recommend havinga fusion calculatorhandy. If you’re new toPersona 5,verify to readour fusion guide, too.
Although it doesn’t take any time to progress this Confidant line, you’ll need to reach max rank by 12/24. You should be able to reach it before then as long as you regularly visit Mementos to capture Personas and register them in the Velvet Room. We have recommended unlock paths below, but you can unlock each level in a number of different ways.
Level Jack Frost up to level 12
Fuse Suzaku and Berith
Fuse Berith with Orobas and Eligor
Fuse Jack-o’-Lantern with Hua Po for Yaksini, then fuse Yaksini and Kelpie

You’ll need at least rank 4 Guts to start the Confidant line, and you’ll need maxed out Guts to complete it. There are a few ways to increase your Guts, the most prominent of which are taking the Big Bang Burger challenge and undertaking a clinical trial with Takemi. After you unlock the Confidant line, you can find Munehisa on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, even when it’s raining.

You don’t need to worry about Mishima’s Confidant line too much. The first two ranks are automatic, and from there, he’ll send you Mementos requests.

You don’t need to worry too much about Sae’s Confidant line, which appears well into the game. As long as you’re on the path to the true ending, this bond will pretty much take of itself, maxing out well before the end of the game. You don’t get any rewards for doing so, though. Also, the Judgement Arcana skips directly from rank 6 to max rank.
Faith (Kasumi Yoshizawa)
Of the newest Confidant lines inPersona 5 Royal, you’ll likely begin right away with Kasumi on 5/30. Keep in mind; her character isn’t available at your convenience; she’s only available after school. Her specific Confidant line consists of two parts; you have until 12/22 to obtain the fifth rank and fill the first part.
The next part of her Confidant line starts straight away on 1/12. After that, you’ll find that she’s available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons. Kasumi is a romance choice in this game. you may try to win her over by obtaining a Mini Cactus and a few Designer Perfumes from the Shibuya Underground Mall.

Councillor (Takuto Maruki)
To start Takuto’s Confidant line, which typically launches on 5/13, it’s important that you have a Persona in the Councillor Arcana equipped by at least 5/10. If you already have that, you’ll find that you can instantly win over the first two levels, but you’ll need that persona to get additional points from your conversation.
After 5/14, you’ll be able to hang out with Takuto relatively often. She’s usually free most afternoons, except for Thursday and Sunday, regardless of the weather. Keep an eye on your calendar, though, because you’ll have to lock in the ninth rank before 11/14.
