Gameplay

Persona 5

Futaba serves as a navigator for the Phantom Thieves. She is able to use her persona to provide analysis for enemy weak points and restore HP and SP for backup party members. Battles can also randomly trigger an assist skill called Moral Support, which can be leveled up through her Confidant to eventually provide healing for HP/SP or status ailments, a number of buffs, start a battle in a Hold Up advantage, block a fatal attack, or swap out incapacitated party members. Other abilities include detecting a rare item held by an enemy, restoring searchable treasure objects in a Palace area after a battle, or mapping a level of Mementos on entering the new floor.

Persona 5 Royal

Futaba serves as a navigator for the Phantom Thieves. As in Persona 5, she is able to use her persona to provide analysis for enemy weak points and restore HP and SP for backup party members. The new trait in Persona 5 Royal gives a chance for an All-Out Attack to instantly defeat foes that would have had HP left, and then restore 25% HP to all party members. Battles can also randomly trigger an assist skill called Moral Support, which can be leveled up leveled up through her Confidant and visits to Jazz Jin to eventually provide healing for HP/SP or status ailments, a number of party buffs and enemy debuffs, start a battle in a Hold Up advantage, or even rescue the fighting party from being surrounded in an enemy ambush, knocked down, or incapacitated. Other abilities include detecting a rare item held by an enemy, restoring searchable treasure objects in a Palace area after a battle, or mapping a level of Mementos on entering the new floor.
