8: This one is where you have to choose. Rank 9 is where you’ll have to choose whether you want a romantic relationship with Kasumi. Rank 8 gives Kasumi the Endure ability, meaning she might survive an otherwise deadly attack. By now, you probably already know Harisen Recovery lets that party member potentially heal status ailments if they’re in the party. Rank 7 gives Kasumi the Harisen Recovery ability. Once you’re finished, you’ll unlock the usual bonuses associated with team members: Follow-up, so Kasumi can potentially knock an enemy down if you don’t, and Athletics Talk, where Kasumi can step in and salvage Shadow negotiations. It’s a bit unusual in that none of the choices matter until the last one during the phone call.įor that, the 2nd and 3rd options both give +2. You can’t progress past Rank 5 until after January 13. You’ll need to r each Rank 5 before December 22 or you won’t be able to go further, and you can’t unlock the third semester. This is an important milestone for Kasumi’s Confidant. This lets you use the grappling hook to trigger an ambush attack from further away. Nothing special about this one, though it doesn’t become available for almost a month.Īttaining Rank 4 unlocks the Chaines Hook ability. From here on, values reflect having a Faith Persona with you. Head over to Kichioji and speak with Kasumi to start. Rank 3 should be available on June 28 or June 29. Tumble means you won’t get surrounded by Shadows anymore when you’re in a Palace. Once it’s done, you’ll rank up and get the Tumble ability. Most of your choices don’t really matter for this event. The cheapest way is fusing Kodama (which you can find in Madarame’s Palace) with Pixie, or you can take your Councillor Persona Kushi Mitama and fuse it with Bicorn. Depending on how you’ve played, it’s possible you’ll be at this level already. Phoenix is the lowest-level Faith Persona, and you can’t fuse it until you’re at least Level 21 (unless you get really lucky with a fusion accident). Kasumi texts you on June 8 after school, or if you ignore it, you can find her hanging out near the promenade in Kichijoji. It’ll be a short while until you can rank up again with the Faith Confidant. It’s not narratively significant, but we won’t spoil it anyway so you can experience it fresh.Īs always, your conversation choices don’t matter for this one, so it also doesn’t matter that you won’t have a Faith Persona by this point. It takes place during a new event on May 30. Faith Confidant Rank 1Īs with all Persona 5 Royal Confidants, you’ll attain the Faith Confidant’s first rank automatically.
Like with the other Confidant guides, we aren’t listing spoilers here, which means we also aren’t talking about anything narrative-wise after Rank 5. With that said, her Confidant events should definitely take priority over whatever else is going on, and you’ll need a Faith Persona each time to get the maximum benefits. Until December, you can only go up to Rank 5, but if you don’t hit Rank 5 before December 22, then you don’t unlock the third semester and the game's true ending.
If you want to reach that point, you’ll need to work on Kasumi’s Confidant ranks.
