Master the Fool Confidant in Persona 5! Learn about Igor's unique skills, how they unlock, and how they aid your journey through the main story.
Alright, let’s talk about the Fool Confidant in Persona 5. This one’s a bit different because it’s tied directly to Igor, the guy with the super long nose who runs the Velvet Room. You don’t really have to *do* anything special to rank this one up; it just progresses naturally as you push through the main story. The cool part is that the skills you get from it are all about making your Persona management and fusion way smoother.
Here’s a breakdown of the Fool Confidant ranks, the skills you’ll snag, and when they become available:
| Rank | Skill | Effect | Date |
| 1 | Wild Talk | Can negotiate with a Shadow during a Hold Up | 4/12 |
| 1 | Arcana Burst | Bonus EXP to Personae of any Arcana based on its rank | 4/12 |
| 2 | Third Eye | Can use L1 to see highlight objects in dungeons, such as treasures | 4/18 |
| 3 | Power Stock | Increases maximum Persona stack to 8 | 5/5 |
| 4 | -- | -- | Clear Madarame’s Palace |
| 5 | Super Stock | Increases maximum Persona stack to 10 | Clear Kaneshiro’s Palace |
| 6 | High Arcana Burst | Grants further bonus EXP | 6/11 |
| 7 | -- | -- | 8/22 |
| 8 | Ultra Stock | Increases maximum Persona stack to 12 | 8/31 |
| 9 | -- | -- | 10/11 |
| 10 | Max Arcana Burst | Greatly raises bonus EXP | 12/24 |
So yeah, as you can see, most of the perks here are passive buffs. 'Wild Talk' is super handy for getting into negotiations during Hold Ups, and 'Arcana Burst' skills will give your Personas a nice little EXP boost, making them stronger faster. The 'Stock' skills are also crucial for letting you hold more Personas, which is a lifesaver when you’re trying to collect them all for fusion.
Just keep playing the main story, and you’ll naturally unlock these perks. It’s one less thing to worry about while you’re busy stealing hearts!
