===Persona 5===
Lockdown is unlocked when the Strength Confidant reaches rank 3. It allows a Persona to stay in the Velvet Room for training, gaining new passive skills. The time for training completion depends on the Confidant rank of the Persona's corresponding Arcana, shortening with increased rank; when uninitiated it takes five in-game days, while at max rank it only takes two days. Any days where major plot events occur do not count towards the Lockdown timer.
While a Persona is in Lockdown, it cannot be used in battle, gain experience, or be used for fusion until the protagonist retrieves it. It will, however, provide bonuses to Confidant rank-ups just as it would if it were not in Lockdown. After a certain number of days, usually about 10, Caroline and Justine will inform the protagonist via his phone that he is in danger of losing his Persona if he does not retrieve it from Lockdown; failure to retrieve it on this day will result in him losing it on the next day; Caroline and Justine will again contact him by phone to scold him for losing it. Accessing the Velvet Room doesn't consume a time slot, so there is nothing to be lost in collecting his Persona.
The skill learned from Lockdown will, most of the time, be specified to cover an elemental weakness. For instance, a Decarabia is more likely to learn Dodge Phys or Resist Phys than other resistance passives. If a Persona has multiple weaknesses, the skill it learns will select a random weakness to cover. Rarely, Dodge/Resist passives of elements that are not the Persona's weakness, or even passives that resist ailments; raising the rank of the corresponding Confidant will reduce the chance of this happening. There are no passive skills that can cover Gun weaknesses.
If a Persona already has a resistance/evasion passive, even if said skill isn't covering its weakness, the passive it gains from Lockdown will be randomly determined, up to and including ailment resistance passives. This also applies if Lockdown is used on Personas without any innate weakness. The type of skill to be gained is decided once the Persona commences its detention; if the Persona picks up the wrong skill, reloading to just before its release will not change it.
At Strength Confidant rank 8, Personas left in Lockdown will begin to learn Null and Evade passives.
===Persona 5 Royal===
In Royal, the weakness-covering skill that the Persona can learn depends on its Level.
Level 	Skill type
Lv1-25 	Dodge X
Lv26-33	Evade X
Lv34-52	Resist X
Lv53-62	Null X
Lv63-74	Repel X
Lv75+ 	Drain X
Additionally, it is now possible to light incense while a Persona is in Lockdown, granting points towards a specific stat. For example, using a Nirvana EN incense will increase the Persona's endurance by three. There are also types of incense that increase two stats at once. Incense can be bought from the Home Shopping Program, Jose's Shop and the Mantra Ganda Incense Shop in Kichijoji.
The time taken for the incense to take effect is 2 days, not counting days when major plot events occur.
The effect of incense is doubled when that incense is used during a fusion alarm.
