Each Persona you obtain in Persona 3 Reload via Shuffle Time or Fusion has its own Skills. You could have Persona that specialize in physical attacks, magic attacks, or support skills. Most Persona are assigned an Affinity, meaning they'll learn Skills of a single element (ex: Fire) and will be unable to learn Skills of other elements (ex: Ice). With Skill Cards, you can teach Persona abilities that they wouldn't normally be able to learn on their own. If you want two of the same Skill Cards, you should consider getting them duplicated at Persona 3 Reload's Inari Shrine.

Answering the best answers for the Ghost Story Rumors in Persona 3 Reload will net you a modest reward, but is it worth it?

Where is the Inari Shrine?

Does It Use Up Free Time?

You can fast-travel in P3R by opening the mini-map and selecting Naganaki Shrine, the travel spot east of Iwatodai Strip Mall. It's also the place where you can start Maiko's Social Link. The Inari Shrine itself is in the red shrine to the left of the Monetary Offering Shrine.

You can only visit Naganaki Shrine during the day/afternoon .

Unlike the Monetary Offerings, the Inari Shrine will not pass the time nor do you have to pay. However, if you don't have any Skill Cards, you're not going to get any use out of the shrine. You can only get one Skill Card duplicated per day, so choose wisely.

Where Do You Find Skill Cards?

Skill Categories

You have a chance at getting a Skill Card in Shuffle Time. To get Shuffle Time, you need to land the finishing blow on an enemy with an All-Out Attack. Skill Cards are represented by the Suit of Swords, but the type of Skill depends on the "value" of the Swords Card. You're more likely to get Five of Swords or Four of Swords Skill Cards from defeating stronger enemies, or after you've collected some of the Major Arcana Cards.

Some of the Requests given by Elizabeth, which unlock after the Priestess boss fight, will have Skill Cards as a reward. For example, you'll get a Media Skill Card for completing Request #9: I would like to try all kinds of drinks.

Skill Cards are divided into several categories:

  • Physical
  • Magic
  • Support
  • Passive

Physical Skills deal pierce, slash, or bash damage. They will consume a portion of your HP (Hit Points) when used in-battle. Magic Skills deal Affinity damage, such as Fire, Electric, or Light. Unlike Physical Skills, Magic Skills will use SP (Stamina Points). Support Skills can be health-restoring, or they can be used for buffing allies (ex: Sukukaja) and debuffing targets (Sukunda). Finally, Passive Skills can't be "used" the same way as Physical/Magic/Support Skills, but they have positive effects on your Persona in-battle. One example is Regenerate 1, which restores a small amount of HP at the end of each turn.

Skill Cards can be used on anyone, but it's best to save them for your Personas. You may also receive a Request from Elizabeth asking to "have a Persona with [X] Skill in your possession." If you have a Skill Card, all you need to do is use it on the requested Persona. This will save you the hassle (and cost) of Fusing.
