While playing Persona 3 Reload, you’ll need to know the best ways to increase your Charm, Courage, and Academics. These Social Stats will help unlock more gameplay and dialogue options.
There are a multitude of ways that you can increase these three stats, but which are the best? We’ll explain the easiest ways to upgrade your Charm, Courage, and Academics.
Persona 3 Reload: Best ways to raise Charm, Courage, and Academics Social Stats
You only have a certain amount of time in a day to perform certain activities. It’s most commonly known that you should save Social Links for the daytime, and Social Stat activities for the evening. Let’s dive into the best ways to increase your Charm, Courage, and Academics in Persona 3 Reload without further ado.
Best ways to increase Charm
- Drink Pheromone coffee at Chagall Café
- Work at Chagall Café
- Watch a movie on Wednesday or Thursday
- Play the Print Club arcade game
One of the easiest and cheapest ways of increasing your Charm is to drink Pheromone coffee at the Chagall Café. For only 500 Yen, you can buy this coffee that’ll give you a decent boost to your Charm. You’ll also gain a little Charm after working a shift at the same café.
I also recommend on Wednesdays or Thursdays heading to Screen Shot, the movie theatre in Port Island Station, to watch a movie. On those days, you’ll get a movie to increase your Charm. There’s also Print Club, the arcade game at Game Parade that shows up on Mondays and Thursdays. You have to pay 1,500 Yen, which is a little pricier than the coffee.
Best ways to increase Courage
- Karaoke at Mandragora
- Eat the Mystery Burger at Wilduck Burger
- Play the Horror House arcade game
- Watch a movie on Monday or Tuesday
- Work at Screen Shot or Chagall Café
For the small price of 800 Yen, you can sing at the Karaoke Bar Madragora. This is an easy and cheap way to raise Courage, but you can also eat the Mystery Burger at Wilduck Burger for a higher price. At Game Parade, you can play Horror House for a steeper price of 3,000 Yen for a hefty amount of Courage. This appears on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Other than those options, I’d recommend catching a movie on Monday or Tuesday to help with your Courage. Instead of spending money, you can earn money by working at either Screen Shot or Chagall Café and also earn Courage.
Best ways to increase Academics
- Watch a movie on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday
- Study
- Eat Sushi at Wakatsu Restaurant
- Answer class questions correctly in exams
- Stay awake in class
While on the pricier side, watching a movie on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday will heighten your Academics by a good amount. For free, you can study in your dorm room or the school library. This is probably the best way to raise this stat during the early game when you’re poor.
Then once you unlock Wakatsu Restaurant, buying and eating sushi will increase your Academics. Other than those options, make sure in class to always stay awake when prompted. Then you’ll want to answer questions correctly during exams. This should give you a decent amount of Academics as you’ll have to answer a slew of questions.
