The Ann Confidant perks include power-ups for Ann in combat, along with help in demon negotiations and even a chance to negate enemy attacks. To shorten the time between ranking up and max out the Lovers Confidant more quickly, make sure to give gifts that Ann likes. Check out our Persona 5 Royal gift guide for all the best options. As with all Confidants in Persona 5 Royal, you have an easier chance of boosting your relationship with Ann if you include a Persona of the matching Arcana in your roster during rank up events. This guide uses point values for answers with a matching Persona in your roster, so adjust the point value down by 1 if you don’t have one on hand. That said, finding a Lovers Persona is comparatively easy, especially early in the game. Pixie and Saki Mitama are two low-level Persona you can find in Mementos or fuse using common Personas.

So I apologized as well:
Are you feeling better now? She’s so strong?
But in the end, maybe I just didn’t believe in her ability:
You might be right
…thanks
I couldn’t just ignore you
But I’m going to find that answer, I promise
Either choice
I hope you’ll join me again next time
Either choice (all only give +2)

It has everything… but it feels like I can’t understand any of it. It’s honestly kinda scary.

But that was when Shiho talked to me. The first thing she said was, ‘Takamaki-san, your paintings suck.’
That’s hilarious
About that female thief in the anime I used to watch? Well, I thought of something!
Tell me
And that’s why I’m going to try and learn from them!
Good idea
