Persona 5 Guide: How To Improve All Social Stats

Persona-5-Social-Stats

The social element of the Persona series has always been a very important part of the formula, and Persona 5 is no different. When it comes time to form relationships with the other characters, you need to be sure that your character is leveled enough in certain categories in order to move the relationship further. This guide will show you how to do just that.

There are 5 social stats that you’ll gradually be improving throughout the game, and they are Charm, Kindness, Knowledge, Guts and Proficiency. Rather than these stats improving as your character levels up, they improve by doing things like working at a part-time job, going to the movies or reading books. Confidant events that you’ll take part in throughout the game will also improve these stats, so be sure to take part in them when you have the chance. The following is a breakdown of each of the 5 categories:

Charm: This stat involves being able to win people over, and is important for relationships. The level progression for the Charm category is Existent, Head-turning, Suave, Charismatic and Debonair. The following are activities that you can do to improve this stat:

  • Pay at the Diner in Shibuya
  • Watching Charm-improving movies at the movie theater
  • Reading Charm-improving books
  • Go to the Bathhouse
  • Play video games
  • Once at Charismatic rank, take on the Burger Challenge

Kindness: This stat is involves being able to talk to certain people, and also helps with landing certain jobs. The level progression for the Kindness category is Inoffensive, Considerate, Empathetic, Selfless and Angelic. The following are activities that you can do to improve this stat:

When it comes to trying to max out each stat, you need to understand that it is a slow process. Don’t get discouraged if you’re doing the aforementioned activities and not seeing much progress, because that’s normal and it will likely take you most of the game to max out everything. Just keep doing the activities while progressing through the game and eventually you’ll be all maxed out.
