Chariot - Ryuji Sakamoto

Ryuji is the first party member who will join you so spending time with him early on will be beneficial in combat. Maxing his confidant early in the game will free up his supposed slot, allowing you to focus on other confidants. He's adept in physical and elec attacks, especially when if you unlock his second persona.
