Confidant Hermit Guide for Persona 5: Royal - Futaba

Persona 5: Royal Confidants are characters that you want to interact with on a regular basis to level them up. The higher your ranking with this Confidant, the more benefits and potential experience you can get from Persona as you progress through the game. This guide focuses on Futaba, the Confidant Hermit.

The interactions

You will have several opportunities to interact with Futaba while you play. When interacting with her, make sure you have a Hermit Persona equipped to maximize the benefits of spending time with her. When you have the option of telling him what, you want to choose the best answer. These answers vary depending on the rank you have with it.

You can tell how much she liked an answer based on the musical notes that appear. These detail the quality of your response and increase when you have a Hermit Persona equipped. Each interaction we list below is rated as if you have a Hermit Persona on you.

You will need at least Level 4 Cuteness to interact with Futaba. You can only spend time with her on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday. You can't go out with her when it's raining.
