Understanding the Confidant System
Confidants are a key mechanic in the Persona series and represents the bonds you form with others throughout your journey. In Persona 5 Royal, there are 23 Confidants altogether, with 3 that rank up from progressing the story, 2 from completing requests, and the rest following a point progression system of sorts.

Confidant Points can be earned through interactions, with each action potentially providing up to 3♪ depending on the type of interaction and choices you make. Once you meet the required points and trigger a rank up event, the Confidant's points will be reset back to 0, with any points you earn during the event conversation added for the next rank up point requirement.

You also have the ability to gift an item to your Confidants whenever you spend time with them and don't have enough Confidant Points to Rank Up yet. Depending on the item, you may even receive unique dialogue too.



The game actually tracks Confidant Points slightly differently from the music notes you see on screen, and that's due to the multiplier system which will be discussed in more detail later. To put it simply, each action's base notes have an internal Confidant Point value of 5, so an action that gives 2♪ provides 10 Confidant Points. This is then multiplied by the player's growth modifier to get the final value stored in the game. For simplicity sake and establishing a standard, this guide will provide the base internal values to provide info on the lowest possible Confidant Points earned for choosing the best responses.

There are several additional growth multipliers that help boost the amount of points that are received while hanging out. If the protagonist has at least one Persona with the same Arcana as the recipient, the points received will be multiplied by x1.5. The protagonist's performance in an exam will grant a boost to school Confidants until the next exam week: if the protagonist scores 1st place, the multiplier will be x1.5, if top 10, it'll be x1.2. Additionally, if the protagonist immediately accepts a Confidant's invitations without putting it off until later, the hangout event will also be granted a x1.2 multiplier. These factors apply to many instances where Confidant Points can be received without having to directly spend time with them, such as having Sojiro taste the protagonist's coffee, or getting an Affinity Reading from Chihaya.

If the protagonist has reached max bond with a Confidant and entered a romantic relationship with them (if they can be romanced), he can choose to spend time with them (only one of them if multiple romances) on December 24th, at which point they'll gift him a key item that increases the Confidant Point multiplier for having a Persona with their Arcana from x1.5 to about x10. This item will also carry over to New Game Plus.
What Affects Confidant Availability?
Once you start getting more Confidants, you'll soon realize you won't be able to interact with them every day to rank up. After all they have their own things they need to take care of, and you yourself need to juggle between living your life as a student, while also being a phantom thief. In general, every Confidant follows a set schedule, with certain variables affecting whether they'll be available or not. These include needing to meet a certain social stat requirement or completing specific requests. For party member Confidants, they won't be available during the week before the deadline if the current palace hasn't been cleared yet, or after the option to send a calling card has been made available.

Sorry for deleting then repost. I don't know if there's a way to edit comments. I'll just post this one about Faith Arcana.

I Made Faith Rank 7 in 1/16
I made Faith Rank 8 in 1/18

Anyway, this is an awesome guide that is helping me a lot in my playtrough. Thank you for your hard work!
HayateButler  [author] 24 May @ 6:05pm 
Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like I had some unnecessary/incorrect unlock dates marked for the Faith Confidant which have now been removed.
Phu Nguyen Gaming 3 Jan @ 8:58am 
Thanks for guide!
Plasma?! 23 Nov, 2024 @ 11:02pm 
Aw man cheers for the answer, gotta be careful when choosing whose gonna be my huzz
HayateButler  [author] 23 Nov, 2024 @ 8:52am 
You mean a special event that occurs when you romance multiple people? That’s pretty much a staple in the Persona series now, so yes, P5R also has one.
Plasma?! 23 Nov, 2024 @ 4:54am 
Finished playing Persona 3 Reload. Does any of the romance options clash with each other? It never occured in P3R except for that one occasion but does it occur in P5R?
Also thanks for the guide, really helpful! :steamhappy:

@DuskIsHome Third Awakenings take place in the Winter Semester in January, you reach this by maxing the Faith & Councillor Confidants before November 17th. Once in the new semester members of the Phantom Thieves will ask you to chat if their social link is maxed and their *MAX* ranking on the map will look shiny and reflective. Talk to them and you should be good.
Black Neptune 7 Jan, 2024 @ 5:58am 
I have been playing this game for a few years and have never heard of a third awakening and can't find anything online about it so if anyone reading this has the time could you provide an explanation of how to get a max confidant bc I thought 10 was max
Cercamon 9 Oct, 2023 @ 6:34am 
Thank you very much for the guide.
HayateButler  [author] 12 Aug, 2023 @ 3:24pm 
For the Sun Arcana, it doesn't matter which options you pick because the Rank Up Events will always occur upon spending time, meaning there's no need to choose the "right" responses for a faster Rank Up.
