Caroline and Justine are the holders of the Strength Arcana and Confidants in Persona 5 Royal. Together they are the attendants of the Velvet Room, tasked with overseeing the protagonist’s rehabilitation. They are introduced on 04/09 and you can begin their Confidant on 05/18 after infiltrating Madarame’s Palace. Caroline and Justine are always available and can be found in the Velvet Room.
The twins have a unique social link that functions like no other. Rather than ranking them up by hanging out with them, you have to fuse the Personas that they request. These requests usually involve multiple fusions and often require Personas that are difficult to obtain. Also, progressing the Strength Confidant does not move time forward unlike every other social link in Persona 5 Royal.
Persona 5 Royal: Caroline and Justine Confidant skills
Below are the skills and benefits acquired from ranking up the Strength Confidant. All of the twin’s skills are focused on creating stronger Personas. Since your Personas are the single most important factor in determining how strong you are, this social link is incredible. It is always worth prioritizing completing the Strength Confidant.
- Rank 1 – Group Guillotine: Allows you to fuse three Personas to create powerful new ones.
- Rank 3 – Lockdown: Allows you to leave a Persona to learn an attribute resistance.
- Rank 5 – Special Treatment: Allows you to pay to create Personas of a higher level.
- Rank 8 – Guillotine Booster: Increases the possible fusions of Personas in Group Guillotine.
- Rank 10 – VIP Treatment: Reduces the amount of money needed for Special Treatment.
Persona 5 Royal: Sojiro Sakura Confidant fusions
The answers that you give during Confidant events have zero impact on progressing the Strength Confidant. Instead, you have to fuse specific Personas that are requested by Caroline and Justine. These challenges have multiple solutions but the fusions listed below are some of the easiest to do. You can obtain the Personas required for the fusions from Mementos.
Keep in mind that without the Special Treatment Skill obtained at Rank 5, you cannot create Personas above your own level. Even then it is expensive to do and usually not worthwhile unless you have a lot of spare cash. Also, these solutions assume you have access to all DLC as is standard in the Steam version of Persona 5 Royal.
