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.

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.
