Persona 5 Royal – Death Confidant Guide
Availability
Planning around the different schedules of your confidants can be quite frustrating when trying to juggle everything Persona 5 Royal throws at you. Much like Ryuji Sakamoto, Takemi is one of the simpler folks to meet. She is available every day after school and can be found at night time on rainy days.
Best Responses
For those who aren’t aware the responses you give to your confidant can have a different impact depending on how much they enjoy it. Being vague or downright mean will often mean you get no bonus points towards levelling up, while a good answer will give a maximum of 3 points.
Of course to get the most benefit you HAVE TO have a Death arcana Persona equipped while meeting Takemi. This IS a Death confidant guide after all.
