Max Social Link Guide (Male and Female) - Persona 3 Portable
Here, our Social Link guide will help you max out each character's rank with everything you need to know throughout your journey in Persona 3 Portable. This includes details for both male and female protagonists since their Social Links for certain Arcana differ quite drastically. If you play your (tarot) cards right, you can max out all Social Links in one run.
Below, we outline the broader details for each male and female Social Link and link to our individual wiki pages with guides for each one — this includes the best dialogue choices, certain requirements to advance them, and specific conditions you need to meet in order to complete them. Remember that initiating a Social Link event with a character takes up time in your day and will advance the game.
A number of Social Links require either Charm, Courage, and Academics stats to be at a certain level, which we will note in our guide pages. Our full walkthrough will also include how to optimally rank up those stats up and make most of your daily activities.
Male and Female Social Links in Persona 3 Portable
Persona 3 Portable contains 22 Social Links in total for both male and female protagonists. Below is a full list of every Social Link (and their corresponding Arcana type) for both the male and female protagnists. You can see all the differences between the two and we will link to our guides for maxing out each Social Link.
Social Links Daily and Weekly Availability
Social Links will only be available on certain days of the week. We have charts for both male and female Social Link schedules below, for your reference. Note that some characters will be unavailable to hang out with or talk to for some stretches of the game due to story reasons. A few characters are also only available at night and it will be noted in the charts below. All the necessary details will be outlined in their individual Social Link guide pages.

Things You Need to Know About Persona 3 Portable Social Links
There is more to Social Links than initiating conversations with characters and picking the right dialogue options in conversations. Below, we have a few general tips to help you get the most out of your time spent with Social Links.
- Have a Persona with the corresponding Arcana in your roster before spending time with a Social Link. You will receive more points when hanging out and in conversations, letting you rank up faster.
- Advancement of Social Links is based on points calculated in the background, which you will never see explicitly.
- There are moments when you will simply just hang out with a character and get points toward the Social Link but not advance the rank.
- Some Social Links will require either Charm, Courage, or Academics stats to be at a certain level before advancing the relationship. (Our full walkthrough will outline how and when to advance your personality stats so you don't miss the opportunity to max out Social Links.)
- A few Social Links are only available at night; be sure to time your ventures into Tartarus so you don't miss a critical opportunity. This will be outlined in our full walkthrough and in the characters' Social Link guides.
All the details you need about ranking up Social Links in Persona 3 Portable are available in the guides pages linked in the charts above. Good luck, and have fun hanging out with your new best friends!
