Figuring out how to increase all social stats in Persona 3 Reload is a breeze as long as players know where to look. Chagall Cafe, Mandragora, and other shops make successful returns, but with twists. Movies, arcade games, and even stat increase values are different in P3R compared to Persona 3, FES, and even P3P.

Luckily, finding out the best way to increase social stats in Persona 3 Reload is easy. Players can go around most days to find activities and their schedules. Stat increases are also easily marked, as they are counted by notes that pop up after an activity.

Plan your Social Links, Tartarus runs, and social stat raising in Persona 3 Reload with this calendar guide.

Updated on February 20, 2024 by Rie Takumi: P3 Reload offers unique new ways to increase social stats for first playthroughs and fun activities for new game plus. Although male SEES members still get the short end of the stick, every SEES member has evening activities in the dorm that can raise social stats. Computer programs can also improve social stats, and may well be worth the price in a pickle.

This Persona 3 Reload guide will be updated as we advance through the game.

Persona 3 Reload P3R beginner Social Stats levels

Academics, Charm, and Courage can be ranked up to six times. Most activities will raise stats up to 4 points. Players can eventually unlock activities that give 4 points at cheaper prices the more they explore and play the game.

Courage is the easiest stat to max out, likely due to Fuuka Yamagishi’s early availability in June. Charm is next, as Yukari will be available a month after Fuuka in July. Academics is the hardest stat to raise, thanks to Mitsuru’s availability in November.

Ranking up social stats is important for unlocking and ranking up Social Links, unlocking new jobs, and even dialogue options. The arcade initially gives the most points and ranking up stats later on will unlock restaurant specials. These specials give the same amount as the arcade, but at cheaper prices. Alternatively, the programs sold at Manga Star give the same amount as the arcade.
