Confidant Rank Up Requirements

Each Confidant in Persona 5 Royal has specific requirements for ranking up, which often involve reaching certain Social Stat levels or making specific dialogue choices. Understanding these requirements is crucial for efficiently progressing your relationships and unlocking their associated abilities and story content. Missing a rank-up opportunity can cost valuable in-game time.

General Rank-Up Mechanics:

  • Time Investment: Most Confidant ranks require you to spend time with the character. This consumes a time slot (day or night).
  • Dialogue Choices: The key to efficient ranking is selecting the correct dialogue options. These choices award varying amounts of relationship points. Having a Persona of the same Arcana as the Confidant grants bonus points.
  • Social Stat Requirements: Some ranks are locked until you reach a certain level in a specific Social Stat (e.g., Guts, Knowledge, Proficiency, Charm, Kindness).
  • Story Progression: Certain Confidants, like the Fool, Magician, and Justice, rank up automatically as the story progresses.
  • Item Gifts: Occasionally, a Confidant might request a specific item before they can rank up.
  • Automatic Ranks: As mentioned, some Confidants rank up automatically through story progression.
