Persona 3 Reload: Tips for Raising Social Links
When you want to raise the rank of a Social Link with a character you will be given prompts, and pick the ones you think are the best given any situation.
If you pick the correct prompt, you can get +1 or even +3 points in that Social Link.
To get the most points when going after any given character’s Social Link, you will need to have a Persona of the corresponding Arcana.
In Yuko’s case, this means having a Persona of the Strength Arcana.
To unlock Yuko’s Social Link you will need to first join the track team, and unlock the Chariot Social Link. This means that you can unlock her Social Link on the 25th of April at the earliest.
When practice finishes you will see Yuko by the shoe lockers, and ask her to walk home together. The first time she will decline while on the second she will agree to start the Strength Social Link.
