Persona 5 Royal: Magician Confidant Guide

In the depths of Kamoshida’s Palace, Morgana becomes the first companion you acquire aside from Ryuji, as you discover yourself ensnared within its labyrinthine corridors.

As you both share the same ambition of delving deeper into the metaverse and battling darkness side by side, this partnership rapidly evolves into a genuine friendship. It’s worth mentioning that Morgana, your feline companion, moves in to reside with you.

Given that Morgana, your reliable companion in Persona 5 Royal, always tags along with you, it’s only natural to be intrigued about how to boost Morgana’s Magician confidant rank to its maximum level as swiftly as possible, so you can uncover all the benefits and personas it will make available for you.

Morgana’s Confidant Overview

As I advance through the story, much like a character similar to Sae Niijima’s confidant, Morgana’s confidant levels up on its own.

As your social standing improves within the game, you’ll gain access to fundamental gameplay features, including crafting infiltration equipment and executing subsequent abilities.

In this section, I’ve compiled a convenient chart detailing the benefits you’ll gain through this connection relationship, along with brief explanations for each.

Rank Perks Description
Rank 1 Infiltration Tools Allows you to craft basic infiltration tools.
Rank 2
Rank 3 Follow Up Chance to perform a follow-up attack if Joker’s attack does not down the enemy.
Rank 4 Kitty Talk If negotiations with an animal type Shadow fail, you can try again.
Rank 5 Pickpocket Chance to obtain an item when Joker performs a melee attack.
Rank 6 Ace Tools Allows you to craft all infiltration tools.
Rank 7 Harisen Recovery Chance to cure status ailments inflicted upon party members.
Rank 8 Endure Chance to withstand an otherwise fatal attack with 1HP remaining.
Rank 9 Protect Chance to shield Joker from an otherwise fatal attack.
Rank 10 Second Awakening Transform Persona into a mythological trickster.

Despite Morgana’s confidant being quite unusual, it still offers some remarkable benefits.

Upon achieving rank 10, Morgana’s persona Zorro will metamorphose into Mericurius, and then you’ll acquire the Evade Electricity special ability. This is a remarkable passive skill for Mercurius, as it significantly boosts your chances of dodging Morgana’s primary vulnerability.

In the event that you manage to uncover the hidden Royal arc towards the end of the game, Morgana’s character will go through another metamorphosis, becoming Diego instead.

Ranking Up

Previously mentioned, your relationship with Morgana, the Magician’s confidant, will advance naturally as the story unfolds without requiring you to set aside particular days on your calendar for dedicated interactions with her.

I’ve created a table that shows when you can advance Morgana’s social link based on the dates.

In this context, “rank up” means to progress in a relationship or friendship, and “social link” refers to the interpersonal relationships between characters in video games like Persona 5.

Rank 1 Story event on April 15th.
Rank 2 Unlocked when you reach the throne room of Kamoshida’s “Castle of Lust” palace after sending the calling card.
Rank 3 Unlocked after clearing Madarame’s “Museum of Vanity” palace.
Rank 4 Story event on June 23rd.
Rank 5 Unlocked after clearing Kaneshiro’s “Bank of Gluttony” palace.
Rank 6 Story event on July 25th.
Rank 7 Story event on August 29th.
Rank 8 Story event on September 17th.
Rank 9 Unlocked after clearing Okumura’s “Spaceport of Greed” palace.
Rank 10 Story event on December 23rd.

Magician Personas And Bonuses

Once you finish connecting with Morgana during her social link, you’ll earn the power to combine the final Magician’s Persona, Futsunushi.

Each promotion level increases the size of the XP reward for acquiring a Magician’s arcana persona via fusion, so don’t overlook this advantage!

If it happens that your progress with Morgana’s confidant is near the level-up point, it would be advisable to prioritize reaching that level first, before creating a new personality for the Magician’s Arcana.

In addition, I’ve compiled a table detailing every persona associated with the Magician arcana from Persona 5 Royal.

Persona Level
Jack O’ Lantern Level 2
Cait Sith Level 5
Jack Frost Level 11
Nekomata Level 17
Sandman Level 23
Choronzon Level 28
Queen Mab Level 43
Rangda Level 48
Forneus Level 63
Surt Level 83
Futsunushi Level 86

Among all the endgame fire personas I’ve encountered in Persona 5 Royal, Persona 3 Reload, and Persona 4 Golden, Surt has always been my top pick.

His talents, like the “Blazing Inferno Boost” and the “Fire Amplifier,” can accumulate to make him possess the deadliest fire attack within the game.

Remember, it’s worth noting that Surt has the ability to acquire the Evade Ice skill. This boosts his potential to dodge his sole vulnerability by a factor of three.

But it’s Surt’s Fire Lineage ability that sets him apart as the ultimate fire persona. This skill offers a chance with every turn to reduce the SP cost of his fire attacks by half.
