Persona 3 Reload Social Stats and How to Increase Them

Since in Persona 3 Reload you will have the possibility of having relationships (amorous or otherwise) with other characters, you must keep an eye on the Persona 3 Reload social stats that are present in the game. Unlike the other games in the series, however, there will only be three social stats you need to worry about: Academics, Charm, and Courage. This, however, should not distract you from the issue and make you think that it could be easier, because there will still be some challenges that you will have to face.

Persona 3 Reload Social Stats Overview

As we said, in Persona 3 Reload, there are only three social stats you will have to worry about. Academics is used to measure your skill at school; Charm is used to see how you fare in social life; and, finally, Courage is used to measure your ability to face difficulties. But what exactly are they for? One of the first important things you need to know is that you won't be able to interact with some characters unless you have a certain level in one of these social stats.

• Mitsuro: Academics level 6
• Yukari: Charm level 6
• Fuuka: Courage level 6
• Tanaka: Charm level 4
• Mutatsu: Courage level 4
• Nozomi: Charm level 2
• Bebe: Academics level 2

Another important thing you need to know is that how your exams go will affect your Academics social stat. For this reason, as we have explained in this guide, it is important that you give the right answers to the exams you will have to take during your adventure. Also, don't forget that some secret menu items require a high level of Courage or Charm to order. Consequently, don't underestimate Persona 3 Reload social stats.

Academics

There are several activities you can do that will increase your social stat and give you access to start talking to Mitsuru and Bebe.

Study at the desk in your bedroom

You can study in your dorm room whenever you have free time to improve your academic performance.

Study in the library at Gekkoukan

Whenever the school is open, you can choose to study in the library instead. It's better than studying in the dorms, and you'll get an extra point for your academics.

Study with SEES before exams

Before a school exam, your teammates might be studying together in the dorm lounge in the evenings. You can join them to earn some academic points and enjoy some valuable cutscenes.
