[Warning: While this guide is spoiler-free, we recommend that you turn back if you have not played past 1/12.]
Decidedly moꦗre subdued than before, Violet joins the Phantom Thieves in earnest in January. Provided you reached rank 5 with her in December, you’ll be able to resume her confidant line beginning in January after the first few inciting events that lead into the final Palace🍷 arc.
Availability
Beginning with 1/13, Violet is basically available every day except on Tuesdays and Fridays, with the exception of the T🗹hursday the 26th. You’ll still find her standing where she used to in ♌Kichijoji during the daytime. The deadline to max out her confidant is 2/1 - if you don’t, she won’t achieve her third persona evolution just before the final battle.
Perks
Viol🧜et offers small permanent increases of 5 HP during her rank up events up until rank 7. In addition, she b🦂egins to gain the regular perks for playable teammates:
- Rank 6 || Follow up: Chance to perform a follow-up attack if Joker’s attack does not down the enemy. Brainiac Talk: Chance to step in after Shadow negotiation fails, allowing a retry.
- Rank 7 || Harisen Recovery: Chance to cure status ailments inflicted upon party members.
- Rank 8 || Endure: Chance to withstand an otherwise fatal attack with 1 HP remaining. This can only be done once per battle.
- Rank 9 || Protect: Chance to shield Joker from an otherwise fatal attack. This can be done once per battle.
- Rank 10 || Second Awakening: Transforms Vanadis into her evolution, Ella.
Rank Up Events
As with every confidant, having a persona of a corresponding arcana will increase the number of points you earn with them by one. The point increases with a Faith persona on han💃d are indicated in brackets next to the regular increases as such:
Prompt 1: point values for answers a, b, c [point values with matching per♋sona]
In addition, Violet is one of the confidants where scoring high on exams will also provide a bonus. Ranking first in the entire school will give you 1.5x affinity points, while ranking within the top ten will give 1.2x. Thi🌸s stacks with the bonuses from having a matching persona. If you’re receiving ꧋bonus points on top of 3 points already, you will still see only three musical notes but gain more within the actual mechanics.
