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.
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
One of the easiest and cheapest ways of increasing your Charm is todrink 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 afterworking a shift at the same café.
I also recommend onWednesdays 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 alsoPrint Club, the arcade gameat 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
For the small price of 800 Yen, you cansing at the Karaoke Bar Madragora. This is an easy and cheap way to raise Courage, but you can alsoeat the Mystery Burgerat 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 amovie on Monday or Tuesdayto help with your Courage. Instead of spending money, you can earn money byworking at either Screen Shot or Chagall Caféand also earn Courage.
Best ways to increase Academics
While on the pricier side,watching a movie on Friday, Saturday, or Sundaywill heighten your Academics by a good amount. For free, you canstudyin 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 andeating sushiwill increase your Academics. Other than those options, make surein class to always stay awakewhen prompted. Then you’ll want toanswer questions correctly during exams. This should give you a decent amount of Academics as you’ll have to answer a slew of questions.
