How to Get and Max Out the Priestess Confidant (Makoto Niijima) in Persona 5
Makoto Niijima is the Shujin Academy student council president in Persona 5. Your first few run-ins with her aren’t exactly the most fun as she’s busy trying to investigate the Phantom Thieves of Hearts under the principal’s orders. It turns out that she’s just between a rock and a hard place and not such a bad person. You can unlock her as the Priestess Confidant, though you need quite a bit of Knowledge.
Her abilities aren’t the greatest, but maxing out her ranks unlocks the Anat Persona, which is the highest Priestess Arcana Persona you can fuse. Also, Shadow Factorization lets you see whether or not an enemy is immune to an attack you have set up.
