Empress Confidant

Your friendly guide to Haru Okumura's Empress Confidant in Persona 5 and P5 Royal. Learn when to meet her, her skills, and how to max her out for powerful rewards!

Hey there! Ready to dive into Haru Okumura's Confidant, the Empress Arcana? She's a bit of a late bloomer, but totally worth the effort. You can start building this bond as early as October 30th. Just head to the Shujin Academy rooftop on weekdays to find her. As you progress, you'll unlock some really handy skills. Starting out, you'll get Cultivation, which lets you grow your own SP-restoring veggies on the rooftop – super useful! Then there's Baton Pass, Follow Up, and Celeb Talk, which helps when negotiations with Shadows go south. Keep at it, and you'll eventually unlock Harisen Recovery to cure status ailments, Soil Improvement to speed up your gardening, and even Endure and Protect to give you a better shot at surviving deadly hits. Maxing out her Confidant is key to fusing the powerful Persona, Mother Harlot. Plus, in New Game Plus, she'll gift you a Dyed Handkerchief on 3/19, letting you get that Soil Improvement skill even earlier! Don't forget, completing her Confidant also means Haru's ultimate Persona, Milady, will transform into Astarte. So, make sure to spend time with her whenever you can!
