Party/Futaba Sakura

This article covers information about Futaba Sakura as a Navigator in Persona 5 and its spinoffs.
==Overview==
===Persona 5===
Futaba first aids the Phantom Thieves of Hearts during the boss battle against Cognitive Wakaba in Futaba's Palace, and later officially joins the team on August 29th.
Futaba does not function like a traditional party member: she does not participate in battle, and as such does not take up a slot in the active party; instead, she serves as Navigator from the back row. Additionally, when she joins, she is always able to contribute in battle.
Futaba will often deliver support for the party at random intervals. Leveling up will have her learn new skills that recover the inactive party members' HP and SP after battle's over.
Most of Futaba's skills come from ranking up her Confidant. The one skill she will always have is Moral Support, giving her the chance to cast one of multiple skills on allies: Matarukaja, Marakukaja, Masukukaja, a full-party Heat Riser, or Mediarama. Active Support expands on the pool of abilities, allowing her to trigger the effects of Charge and Concentrate simultaneously, or recover SP.
Futaba also learns Position Hack, a skill which has a chance to automatically trigger a Hold Up at the start of battle, and Emergency Shift, allowing Futaba to swap out party members with new ones from reserve when 2 or more allies are knocked out.
If the protagonist maxes out Futaba's Confidant, her Persona Necronomicon will evolve into Prometheus. This will let her learn the skill Treasure Skimmer, which will have a chance to reveal if an enemy is holding a rare item. Additionally, maxing out the Confidant itself will let her learn Final Guard, a skill that can protect the group from a fatal attack.
====Persona 5 Royal====
In Persona 5 Royal, taking Futaba to Jazz Jin on Sundays will let her learn several skills, each in order of visit. (Taking her to Jazz Jin on any day except Sunday does nothing.) Firstly, there are Support Plus 1, 2 and 3, which add debuff skills Masukunda, Marakunda and Matarunda to the roster of Moral Support, respectively. Additionally, she can learn Support Rate Up afterward, boosting the rate of Moral Support activating.
Futaba's trait is Explosive Scheme, which gives All-out Attacks a chance to defeat all foes automatically, as well as restore 25% of their HP.
If Futaba's Confidant has been maxed out, starting from January 15, a special Third Awakening scene will become available, which will transform Futaba's Persona Prometheus into Al Azif. This grants Futaba Ultimate Support, which fully restores the HP of all allies, revives all defeated allies to full HP, removes ailments, provides the effect of Heat Riser to all allies, and applies a Critical-boosting effect to all allies. Additionally, her Persona Trait will transform into Infinite Scheme, now being able to fully restore allies' HP after her special All-out Attack.
