How to Increase All Social Stats in Persona 3 Reload (P3R)

Being the pseudo daily life-sim it is, Persona 3 Reload includes three Social Stats in the game: Courage, Charm, and Academics. These stats can be improved by participating in various activities around the game, and increasing them unlocks a ton of new content to partake in.

The three Social Stats in P3R unlock new activities and actions for you throughout the game, such as completing certainrequests for Elizabethor getting new Social Links. You can increase them through various methods, and maxing them out as soon as possible is recommended. All three statscap out at level 6.

Each Social Stat has its own set of experience points, and the number of points needed to level them differs for each stat. Here are the amount of points you’ll need to reach each level for each stat:

When you engage in an activity and see a music note go into a Social Stat, each music note equals one experience point. Generally speaking, most paid activities will grant you two experience points for a specific stat. In contrast, other activities, like working a part-time job, may grant one experience point for multiple Social Stats.

Each Social Stat unlocks specific Social Links, but you’ll also need to level your Social Stats to engage in specific activities:

There are plenty of methods to increase your Social Stats around the city, and they usually advance time. You shouldfocus on increasing them at nightwhen you don’t have as many Social Links to complete. Paid activities are always better than free ones, except for Dorm activities with team members, as these will also help them strengthen in the long run.

You may also occasionally get some free stat points from events such as classroom questions, so try to answer them all correctly. It’s possible to max all your Social Stats byAugust or Septemberwithout ignoring your Social Links during the day.

Aside from the ones listed below, many one-time activities, such as certain Elizabeth requests, may increase your stats, but they’re not listed as they’re not something you can do at any time.

How to Increase Academics in Persona 3 Reload

The Academics Social Stat is harder to increase than the previous stats, but there are many chances to do so. Increasing Academics to certain levels before tests will have you scoring higher, consequently increasing your Charm, too.

Try to set specific days to increase your Social Stats in P3R evenly. Weekends are great for increasing Courage, while Mondays are better for Academics, for example. Always check the Game Parade to see which game is currently available, as this is the best (and most expensive) method to increase them. URLs can also be pretty good overall and can be done on any day you want

Nocturnal Social Links(namely Devil and Tower) don’t have a deadline, so don’t worry about “neglecting” these early to increase your Social Stats. You can start them and ignore their existence until you have your Social Stats maxed out, or only visit them when you don’t need to increase your stats immediately. Some Social Stats are abigger priority than others, after all.
