Persona 3 Reload - Best Social Links to Max First

Prioritizing Social Links is important in Persona 3 Reload (P3R) if you want max as many as possible. Learn more on who the best social links to max first are, what schedule to follow when ranking up social links, and more!

Best Social Links to Rank Up in the Early Game

Early Social Link Priority (April to Early May)

Social Link Reason
1 Persona 3 Reload - Maya Hermit (Online Game) She is only available on Sunday. She is the highest priority since there are few days to spend time with her.
2 Persona 3 Reload - Yuko Strength (Yuko) She is only available on Wednesday and Saturday.
3 Persona 3 Reload - Kenji Magician (Kenji) He is only available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
4 Persona 3 Reload - Hidetoshi Emperor (Kenji) He is only available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
5 Persona 3 Reload - Kazushi Chariot (Kazushi) He is available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. He is the lowest priority since he has several days a week to spend time with.

The highest priority is the Hermit Social Link where you play an online game with Maya since she is only available on Sunday. With that, try to do this social link every Sunday unless you get a date for a Social Link where you need to spend time with someone else.

Next, you would want to prioritize your fellow students in the order listed above since they have fewer days to spend time with compared to other social links during the early game. Additionally, they will be unavailable during the holidays and school exam periods too.

Early Game Social Link Schedule

Social Link Weekly Schedule
Mon Kazushi
Tue Kenji
Wed Yuko
Thur Kenji
Fri Hidetoshi
Sat Yuko
Sun Maya

Due to the reasoning above, it is suggested to follow this Social Link schedule for the early game. This lets you Rank Up with all of them without wasting any days. Although, this will change once you unlock more Social Links as you progress the story.

Increase Social Stats at Night Instead of Social Links

Persona 3 Reload - Karaoke

At night, you would want to spend time increasing your social stats by doing various activities instead of doing Social Links. Once you have max stats, you can start doing the Devil and Tower Social Links in the evening.

This is because Mitsuru and Yukari need max Charm and Academics to start, and you may find it difficult to complete theirs if you do not invest enough time in your stats.

Social Stats Guide

Best Social Links to Rank Up in the Mid Game

Mid-Game Social Link Priority (Mid May to June)

Social Link Reason
1 Fuuka White Icon Priestess (Fuuka) She is only available on Monday, Friday, and Saturday and starts on 6/19. Try to max your Courage quickly since she is the earliest max stat Social Link.
2 Persona 3 Reload - Chihiro Justice (Chihiro) She is only available on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. She starts on 5/28 and requires you to talk to her three times at school.
3 Keisuke White Icon Fortune (Keisuke) He is only available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. You can start it on 6/17.
4 Persona 3 Reload - Bebe Temperance (Bebe) He is only available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. He starts on 5/29, and he requires Academics Rank 3 - 4 and Hierophant Social Link Rank 3 to start.

In the mid game, you would want to begin getting max Courage before or slightly after 6/19 since Fuuka is the earliest max stat Social Link available.

For Bebe, you would also need Academics at Rank 3 to 4 and Hierophant Rank 3, but at 5/29 you should already be around that level naturally as long as you regularly study and go to the arcade on Wednesday and Saturday to increase your Academics.

Mid-Game Social Link Schedule

Social Link Weekly Schedule
Mon Fuuka → Kazushi
Tue Kenji → Bebe
Wed Yuko → Keisuke
Thur Kenji → Chihiro
Fri Bebe → Hidetoshi
Sat Yuko → Chihiro
Sun Dates → Online Game

At this point of the game, you would want to prioritize the people on the left of the schedule, while occasionally spending time with the ones on the right. You would also have enough progress to reach the mid-ranks of the social links that were initially available. This is also the time where most social links are available so setting up a priority list is very crucial in this stage.

Best Social Links to Rank Up During the Holidays

Non-Student Social Links on Holidays (Summer Break)

Social Link Reason
1 Persona 3 Reload -Maiko Hanged Man (Maiko) Available on holidays, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
2 Persona 3 Reload - Maya Hermit (Online Game) Available on holidays and Sundays.
3 Persona 3 Reload - Bunkichi Hierophant (Bunkichi) Available everyday except Monday.
4 Persona 3 Reload -Mamoru Star (Mamoru) Available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.
5 Persona 3 Reload - Nozomi Moon (Nozomi) Available everyday.

During the holidays, none of the regular students will be available. Due to this, it is best to spend time with your social links outside of school. The ones who are available everyday are lower priority than those who don't since they can be progressed anytime and is a great safety net in case you mess up your social link schedule by avoiding empty days (days where you have no social link to start).

You should spend time with Maiko the most during the holidays since she has a four-day availability during the holidays. It is also good to do the Online Game social link during this time since it will let you free up your Sundays to other Social Links once you complete it.

Best Social Links to Rank Up in the Late Game

List of Social Links to Prioritize (August Onwards)

Social Link Reason
1 Persona 3 Reload -Akinari Sun (Akinari) He is only available on Sunday. He is available starting on 8/23, and needs Academics Rank 4 and Hanged Man Rank 3.
2 Yukari White Icon Lovers (Yukari) She is available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. She can start on 7/25 if you have max Charm.
3 Mitsuru Empress (Mitsuru) She is available everyday. You will need to have max Academics to start her Social Link

In the late game, you should already have considerable progress on the early game Social Links, and would have even have several of them at max rank, like Kenji, Yuko and Maya.

With that, you would want to prioritize Akinari in this stage since he is only available on Sunday. Next you would want to try getting max Charm and max Academics so that you can begin Yukari and Mitsuru's Social Links before time runs out.

Late Game Social Links Schedule

Social Link Weekly Schedule
Mon Fuuka → Yukari
Tue Bebe → Kazushi
Wed Keisuke → Hidetoshi → Maiko
Thur Chihiro → Kazushi → Mitsuru
Fri Bebe → Hidetoshi → Fuuka → Mamoru / Nozomi
Sat Yuko → Chihiro → Mitsuru
Sun Dates → Akinari

In the late game, you would want to focus on completing the people you already started during the early to mid game. This will help you free up a lot of your time once they are done.

Once you get max rank with some, you will have more free days where you can spend time with Social Links that are available everyday.

Spend Time with Aigis Every Time

Persona 3 Reload - Spend Time with Aigis

Once Aigis' Social Link is available in the post game, you should spend time with her as much as possible. Most of your Social Links should be at max rank at this point anyways, and you will have very limited time with her.
