Persona 3 Reload

As we mentioned in the Specialist (15G) achievement, Persona 3 Reload has 3 core Social Stat skills: Academics, Courage and Charm. These 3 Social Stats gatekeeper a number of areas and various events throughout the game, like getting into Club Escapade, or starting a Social Link with Mitsuru. In order to get the ‘Peak Performance’ achievement, then, you need to max out all of the 3 Social Stats i.e. get them all to level 6.

This is no easy feat, and will require some pretty intense dedication - especially when the temptation of Social Links are there to vie for your time. That said, we were all maxed out by the middle of August (during Summer School), leaving us the rest of the year to concentrate on Social Links. As we said in the intro, though, it’s nigh on impossible without a day-by-day guide to do all Social Links and max out your Social Stats in one playthrough, and it’s not worth the stress, in truth. So, as we said, use the first playthrough to concentrate on your Social Skills.

If you’re looking for the best way to max them out? Well, as long as you’re getting 2 Social Skill points per activity, your time is being spent wisely. If you have enough money you can visit Wakatsu Kitchen (+2 Academics), Hagakure Ramen (+2 Charm) and take on Wilduck Burger’s Mystery Burger challenge at night (+2 Courage). Alternatively, you can use the Arcade in Paulownia Mall to boost whatever you need.

If you want to earn money and get Social Stat points, then work at the Screen Shot Movie Theater (on days off), the Chagall Cafe (on Mon-Weds) and Be Blue V in the daytime during the holidays. All three of those give you 2 Social Stat points (+1 in two disciplines).
