Profile
Navigators are members that deliver rear support to their party. Though initial Navigators aren't able to fulfill their role to the fullest and their Personas are more suited in battle or another field, the groups eventually recruit another Navigator with a Persona that delivers a number of benefits in exploration and battle. This includes analyzing enemies, recovering HP under certain conditions, and escaping from either battle or the dungeon as a whole.
Although many temporary Navigators have stayed in the back row, and permanently swapping their roles as combatants once a more viable Navigator joins, Morgana in particular initially multitasks between both roles: before Futaba Sakura joins, if his HP is fully depleted, instead of fainting, he'll move towards the sidelines and instead provide support for the team. In Persona 5 Royal, Goro Akechi is similar in a way, although he only delivers Navigator dialogue in battle, and will faint like normal if he loses all his HP.
In Persona 5 Strikers, during hacking battles where Futaba needs to be protected in battle while she's occupied hacking on the field, Morgana will temporarily take over her role as Navigator.
