Social Links offer a lot of interesting and heartbreaking side-stories apart from the standard “save the world” cliche of Persona. In this guide, I’ll explain the entire Social Link system in Persona 3 Reload, including how to rank up everything to the max.
Note: This is an ongoing guide and will feature missing or locked Social Links. I will update every Social Link as I progress further into the game.
How do Social Links work in Persona 3 Reload?
Social Linkworks by interacting with specific characters throughout the main story of Persona 3 Reload. You’ll be able to increase your Social Links byspending timewith them andanswering the correct responsesduring your conversation.
Social Links often have requirements before you can start. Some havestat requirements,while others require you to progress further through themain story. Specific Social Links, like theStrength Arcana, depend on otherSocial Link Ranks.
Increasing Social Linksallows you to learn more about the side characters of the game, as well as gives youbonus EXPwhen fusing Personas (i.e. Fusing two Personas into Orpheus will grant it bonus EXP depending on your Social Link Rank) known asS. Link Bonus. This system allows you to fuse Personas and have themlevel up past your current character level.
