Harisen Recovery (ハリセンリカバー, Harisen Rikabā)? is an supportive ability in the series.
Overview
Persona 5 / Royal
Harisen Recovery is a Confidant ability party members are able to learn. During battle, if an ally is afflicted with a status ailment, there's a chance an eligible party member will use this ability to remove their ailment.
Generally, the party members' respective Confidants need to be leveled up to Rank 6 to have this ability unlocked, with the exception of Morgana, Sumire Yoshizawa and Goro Akechi (in Royal) at Rank 7.
Persona 5 Strikers
All members of the Phantom Thieves are able to use Harisen Recovery by default, though there are BOND upgrades that can cause it to happen more often.
Unlike how it worked in the original games, Harisen Recovery can now cure the Down status ailment.
Etymology
The term comes from harisen (張り扇?, lit. "slapping fan"), which is a giant paper fan used in comedy acts, similar to slapstick. This object also appears in Persona 2: Innocent Sin when Maya Amano, Eikichi Mishina and Lisa Silverman perform their demon contact combo, mimicking the said cliché Japanese slapstick.
