But how does the luck reading bonus actually counter in?
When you first unlock her as a confidant, if you tell her it’s a hassle as you’re going home you get +2.
Fate reading and Affinity reading are switched in P5R – you get Affinity reading on rank 5, and Fate reading on rank 7.
Did not get sky tree lantern when going to book shop
I got it when going to Tokyo Skytree of Asakusa/Oshiage hangout spot.
But it looks like you need to hangout once at least with her before. You need to have two “dates” before.
I got +3 with her follow up on rank 1 by saying “I’ll be there” and having a Fortune persona.
P5R rank 10 confidant ability. Her reading will highlight all the right answers for the confidant of their choice. For maximum bonding points.
Already updated. Thanks!
Her level 5 ability is actually to slightly increase your compatibility with one of your confidants. Just got it in my playthrough. <3
There is a typo here… Says she the “Death” arcana. But she is the “Fortune” Arcana!!!
Oh dear, thanks for letting us know. We’ll fix it. 🙂
