Yeah, stronger was poor word choice. It's more to understand Dia more, and like you said, figure out some tricks. Maybe we can figure out healing over time or something.
From what I can tell at the very least, in canon Ken does not seem to get a regen ability from his Persona. So if we can here, it'll probably take a lot of effort.

I don't really know why you brought up either point? Yeah, learning Dia tricks will take a while, we don't have an affinity for it, that's why working with Zio was such a pain in the ass, but the sooner we start trying, the sooner we can learn something.
I'm saying getting the passive regen skill will probably take a lot of effort if we can grab it here.

Related to Persona Abilities though. If we can get the powers from The Answer that Ken can use in his boss fight, it means eventually Ken can use Almighty damage.

Oooh stats.
 
I don't care about tricks as much as due hopefully reducing channeling cost. At this point even a 1 Sp cost reduction is kind of huge, in my opinion.

Emphasis on hopefully because I'm not even sure that's going to be a thing.

Persona User relations are a tricky thing to quantify, particularly when the main character is not a Wild Card who gets the benefits of random voices. Therefore, I shall try and clarify some of the current relationships... of other people. And maybe throw in a few bits of Ken's things that aren't riddled with spoilers.


Maya Amano: Is friends with Maki Sonomura. Has had contact with Kei Nanjo and his faction of Persona Users. Is vaguely aware that SEES exists.

Shinjiro Aragaki: Has an unbreakable bond with Akihiko Sanada, though they are prone to quarrel. Is an occasional ally of Mitsuru Kirijo. Will do anything for Ken Amada within the realms of possibility, and may attempt a few things that aren't.

Mitsuru Kirijo: Wants to be friends with Akihiko Sanada. Is worried about Shinjiro Aragaki. Dearly loves her father, but has a certain mistrust of his employees.

Akira Kurusu: Tentative friends with Ken Amada and Maiko Oohashi. Finds Morgana annoying, but tolerable in small doses when he isn't interfering with his schoolwork. Wants to pet Koromaru.

Maiko Oohashi: Finds Koromaru adorable. Tentative friends with Akira Kurusu. Has passed Maya Amano on the streets a grand total of twice.

Akihiko Sanada: Has an unbreakable bond with Shinjiro Aragaki, though they are prone to quarrel. Is mildly terrified of Mitsuru Kirijo. Does not know how to people or what fangirls even are.

Maki Sonomura: Friends with Maya Amano and Kei Nanjo. Is dating Yuuya Narumi long-distance. Views the health and safety of her patients as being important above all else.

Koromaru: Loves everyone. He is a very good dog.

Morgana: Misses the Phantom Thieves, and wants to be one of them again. Is annoyed with Maiko Oohashi for distracting one of the few people who can understand him. Is slowly gaining respect for Tsukiya Saito through the use of cat toys.

Shinjiro. This is why you're in therapy.
Wants to pet Koromaru.
Everyone wants to pet Koromaru.

Except Morgana. Who's a selfish, egocentric ass.

Ah yes, being annoyed with someone who is appearing to distance you from one of MAYBE two people you could ever be friends with is uncommon. It's almost like the 'damn cat' is a very sheltered person who has no ability to tell what's normal and what's not because his social pool is shadows and the chosen few who are all mentally scarred in some way or another and have decided to push past it.
Lay off the Morgana hate, we get it. Not every character can be viewed as a Messiah, but you don't have to lay into ones you dislike so hard.

Or maybe doesn't properly understand how friendship is supposed to work. Remember he spent a lot of time tagging along with Joker, who is the only Wild Card who's S.Links had an element of business agreement to them. Deals were made: I help you, you help me.

From that perspective, Morgana's opinion of Maiko makes sense. Ken hangs out with her, but doesn't seemingly get any tangible benefits from it. of, course Morgana would be annoyed and think she's just wasting Ken's time.

It's not because Morgana is sheltered that he doesn't like Maiko, it's that Ken is literally the only human he knows who can understand him, so when Ken isn't with Morgana, he has no one to talk to. Morgana is not used to being alone or having no one to talk to. Once Joker rescued him, they were joined at the hip, all day, every day, for months, and while he wasn't as close with the other Thieves as he was with Joker, they still hung out, and put their lives on the line for their ideals together. Now, Morgana has to go days with only Koromaru for conversation if we decide to not hang out at the shrine, after he walked for more than 3 weeks from Tokyo to Iwatodai all by himself. Sure, being annoyed at Maiko for taking up Ken's time isn't the best attitude to have, but it makes sense that Morgana feels that way towards here.

Just caught up with the quest after being away for about a week. A bit bummed out a missed on our first battle, but still super fun to read. Ken kicking Shadows in the face was A+.

Maybe I should just stop making Social Stat stuff visible again... this'll be difficult to put together.
