How to Max Out Social Stats

To max out your Social Stats fast, time and resource management is essential. It is recommended to increase your Social Stats during the night to save time. Furthermore, it is recommended to choose the more expensive methods since they give more points with less time spent.

Watching Movies in the Cinema

Persona 3 Reload - Film Festival

Going to the cinemas to watch movies is a more budget-friendly way to significantly increase a specific Social stat. However, take into consideration that this consumes time off your day to do.

During August 17 until August 31, a film festival will be held at the Screen Shot Cinema. Every day, the theme of the movie will change. During this time, tickets will be cheap, and multiple movies can be watched, so take advantage of it!

Play the Arcade Games at Paulownia Mall

Persona 3 Reload - Play Arcade Games

While the Arcade Games are significantly expensive, they provide the most points out of all the available actions. Furthermore, playing at the arcade does not prevent you from going to Tartarus after.

The games change depending on the day, so keep that in mind if you want to increase a specific Social Stat.

Work Part-Time

Persona 3 Reload - Part-time

Working part-time consumes a significant amount of time, but they provide you money to spend. Another factor to note is that part-time work increases two unique Social Stats depending on the store. Think of it like killing two birds with one stone!

Do Quick Activities

Persona 3 Reload - Quick Activities
Certain activities, such as drinking the mysterious concoction in the nurse's office, do not progress the time of day. While they give out miniscule Social Points, make sure to do these activities consistently as these bonuses stack up while giving you ample time to do other activities!

All Social Stat Unlocks

When any of your Social Stat reaches a certain rank, you will unlock a corresponding Social Link.

Courage

Rank Required to Unlock
Ordinary (15 ♪)	Tough (45 ♪)	Badass (80 ♪)
Mutatsu	Mamoru	Fuuka

Courage improves the Protagonist's guts, which lets the protagonist make bold statements and approach intimidating individuals during certain Social Links. This unlocks more variety and Social Links!

Charm

Rank Required to Unlock
Unpolished (15 ♪)	Smooth (45 ♪)	Charismatic (100 ♪)
Nozomi	Tanaka	Yukari

Charm improves the Protagonist's charisma, which unlocks more flirtatious dialogue choices for the protagonist to answer certain Social Links, possibly giving out more Social Points!

Knowledge

Rank Required to Unlock
Average (20 ♪)	Smart (100 ♪)	Badass (230 ♪)
Bebe	Akinari	Mitsuru

Knowledge dictates whether or not you succeed in your exams, which give a huge boost to all Social Stats and Social Points. To pass the exams, you need Above Average for the first exam, Intelligent for the second exam, and Genius for the final exam.

Social Links Guide and How to Start Them

Best Social Stat to Raise First

Raise Courage First

Persona 3 Reload - Courage
Raising Courage first is recommended due to having the least amount of points to max out and unlocks some useful Social Links, which includes Fuuka who is available as early as 6/19. Furthermore, one way to increase Courage is a non-time consuming activity, saving you time to do other activities.

Increasing the Knowledge stat first is also debatable since it allows you to ace the first exams, which gives you boosts to booth Social Links and Points, but this stat's unlocks come later in the game and take a while to completely max out.

All Methods to Increase Social Stats

Persona 3 Reload - Increase Social Stat
To increase Social Stats, the player must go through a grueling task, being a proper high schooler!

Going to karaoke with your friends, eating snacks, or studying on your lonesome; all will increase your Social Stats. For specific stats to increase, specific actions should be taken.
