All the Ways to Increase Your Social Stats in Persona 5 The Phantom X
Time to aura farm.
Like all Persona games, your main character will have social stats to improve on in Persona 5: The Phantom X. They are quite similar to how it works in previous Persona games, but there are some big differences since The Phantom X is a free-to-play mobile game.
These social stats play a pivotal role in the game, and you’ll want to increase them any chance you get. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show you how to improve your social stats for each category: Charm, Kindness, Knowledge, Guts, and Proficiency.
How to Level Each Social Stat in Persona 5 The Phantom X
| Charm | Kindess | Knowledge | Guts | Proficiency |
| Work at the convenience store | Planting in your garden | Studying at the diner | Watching 3 Fools (Shibuya Theatre) | Watching Shaowlin Slackers (Shibuya Theatre) |
| Cooking in your kitchen | Watching Shin Gorilla (Shibuya Theatre) | Watching Pirates of Curly-Hair (Shibuya Theatre) | Watching Cop Story (Yongen-Jaya Theatre) | Playing games at home |
| Having a soak in the shower or bathhouse | Watching Liam: The Dependable (Jongen-Jaya Theatre) | Study at the library | Watching Gone with the Wine (Yongen-Jaya Theatre) | Making tools for infiltration |
| Watching Shiro’s Moving Stage (Shibuya Theatre) | Cleaning the house | Studying at home | Going to the gym. | |
| Answering classroom questions correctly |
In the table above, you’ll see all the ways to increase your social stats in Persona 5: The Phantom X. There are several ways to increase each stat, and not every option is always available. For example, you can watch movies in the theatre but not more than two in a day.
Also, gardening at home requires seeds to get some Kindness. If you aren’t planting anything, you won’t get any Kindness. The same goes for getting ingredients for cooking in your kitchen.
Some of these activities also cost Yen, such as going to the gym or watching a movie.
If you get confused with all the activities, you can always press the “City” button in the real world. This opens a page that suggests at least six activities you can do and their rewards. If you don’t find any of the activities you want on this page, you can still go to the area and do the activity. For example, if cleaning your house doesn’t show up in the City page, you can still go to your house and clean up.
It is still best to look at your City button every now and then because you may see potential interactions or bonds forming with some of the game’s characters.
How Does Social Stats Work in Persona 5 The Phantom X?
Social stats indirectly impact the power of your party. Since you can form bonds with other characters and get synergy bonuses, you’ll get some extra power and currency just by forming relationships with them.
The only way to improve your relationship with them is to meet certain social stat requirements and interact with them in City Life activities.
Apart from social stats making you more “dateable,” you’ll also unlock new items to buy from specific stores depending on your social stat level. For example, increasing your Knowledge will unlock more items for purchase at the gourmet supermarket in the Shibuya Underground Mall and the Taiheido Bookstore in Shibuya.
You’ll mostly use these unlocked items as presents for other characters in Persona 5: The Phantom X.
What Are Action Points in Persona 5 The Phantom X?
Each activity, which is mostly used to improve your social stats or your synergy/bonds with characters, requires Action Points. You get a total of 5 Action Points daily on reset, and you can stack them up to 20 Action Points. It is best to capitalize on all the Action Points so you don’t exceed 20.
Since time works differently in Persona 5 The Phantom X compared to other Persona games, you don’t have any deadlines to worry about.
