Confidant List and Recruitment Guide in Persona 5 Royal
Over the course of Persona 5 Royal (P5R), the Protagonist can unlock a Social Link or Confidant belonging to an Arcana. Some confidants are party members who will fight alongside the Protagonist, while others are support characters who provide benefits in both the metaverse and the real world.
Persona 5 Royal Persona Compendium (Persona and Arcana List)
As a confidant’s level increases, the player gains access to its unique confidant abilities. Spending time with confidants is insufficient to raise their rank. You must buy and give them gift items to ensure that they will rank higher when you spend time with them again. You can only give gift items to female confidants in Persona 5. While in Persona 5 Royal, the Protagonist can now give gift items to both male and female confidants.
Persona 5 Royal Confidant Gift List and Guide
Note that raising the Confidant level of female characters will unlock a romantic relationship with them, allowing you to view special events. It is even possible to achieve a romantic state with all possible partners during a playthrough which results in a unique and humorous special event.

forgot akechi
since this is related to the article at hand when increasing your social stats it’s best to improve each one evenly, for example, let us say you went to work at the beef bowl shop right? tomorrow, work on guts, working like that will allow you to talk to other confidants when you have said the required social stat level.
Fr anyone who is confused Kasumi becomes available on 5/30 not 5/3
Guessing that they hit the “-” key instead of “0” when making the guide as they are right next to each other.
Does anyone know what The World arcana does?
Uh ummm… being the main character?
absolutley nothing
Just a suggestion add max confidant persona column
Just a suggestion: Alongside the unlock date you should have a column noting whether or not a confidant becomes unavailable for an extended time or must be maxed by a certain date. It could help with prioritization for those not wanting to miss out on a certain character or not wanting to rigidly follow a guide.
i second this
I second this!! It’s impossible keeping 80 tabs open of each confidant and having to go back and forth to make sure you’re not missing anything 🙁
i also second this
You should update with what requirements are needed to unlock (charm for Hifumi, Guts for Iwai, etc.), I find myself worried I don’t know if I’m building my stats right!!
You guys removed Takemi’s Confidant Guide link from the side list.
Thanks for the reminder. Takemi is already added 🙂
You guys should put which stat you need for each character. Like for ann, you need certain level of kindness to unlock more stuff
you guys removed Takemi’s Confidant Guide link from the side list
You got 2 things wrong. Sojiro and Hifumi are night, not afternoon.
Already updated 🙂
This game is the SHIT. Gonna max some confidants.
