Persona 5 Royal Social Stats Guide - How to Increase Guts, Charm, Knowledge, Skill, and Cuteness

Why should I care about social stats in Persona 5 Royal?

Social stats affect all facets of Persona 5 Royal. They govern what you are able to do and who you can see on any given day. If you want to do a clinical trial with Takemi, for example, you'll need to increase your Guts stat to a certain level. Ann won't see you unless your kindness is high enough, and the same goes for Makoto and knowledge. Your skill stat also affects the number of infiltration tools you can simultaneously craft. The Flower Shop won't hire you unless your charm is high enough either. Improving your social stats can open up several new opportunities for you in Persona 5 Royal, and this can be of great benefit to you in the long run. Fortunately, Persona 5 Royal adds a few new ways to improve social stats, and the addition of a third semester gives you a ton of extra time to max out your social stats.



Best Ways to Increase Guts, Skill, Cuteness, Charm, and Knowledge in Persona 5 Royal

Best ways to improve guts

Guts is by far the most difficult social statistic to come up with simply because there aren't as many ways to improve it as some other stats. You will likely have to rely on activities that can improve all social stats, like reading books or watching rented DVDs. That being said, guts can be increased by doing the following:

  • Participate in a clinical trial with Takemi
  • Take up the Big Bang Burger Challenge
  • Order the Sando surprise while studying at the Diner
  • Read books
  • To watch movies
  • Watch DVDs
  • Play video games

Best Ways to Improve Proficiency



Skills can be upgraded quickly from the start as most of the leveling methods are unlocked from the start. There are several jobs that pay well in addition to improving this stat, and you can even remove crafting items from infiltration tools while improving this stat. Skill can be increased by doing the following.

  • Spending time with Iwai
  • Work part-time at the Beef Bowl Shop
  • Work part-time at Crossroads
  • Visit the batting cages
  • Make infiltration tools in your room (especially on rainy days)
  • Order the totem pole while studying at the Diner
  • Go fishing
  • Read books
  • To watch movies
  • Watch DVDs
  • Play video games

Best ways to improve Kindness

Two of the best confidants in the game increase your cuteness stat just by spending time with them, so you'll likely get a boost in that department. Plus, a lot of cuteness-enhancing activities can be done in the evening at Leblanc after going to the Metaverse, so you won't have to worry about fatigue. Cuteness can be improved by doing the following:

  • Spending time with Sojiro
  • Spending time with Shinya
  • Work part-time at the Flower Shop
  • Leblanc cleaning
  • Take care of the plant in your room
  • Order the nostalgic steak while studying at the Diner
  • Read books
  • To watch movies
  • Watch DVDs
  • Play video games

Best Ways to Improve Charm

Charm is another social stat that can be easily improved by spending time with confidants, so you shouldn't have a hard time reaching those high ranks. You can also start effectively leveling it up pretty early on, and you can also get a nice boost from school activities if you focus on other social stats as well. The charm can be improved by doing the following:



  • Spending time with Yoshida
  • Spend time with Ohya
  • Visit of the baths (especially Monday / Thursday / rainy days)
  • Visit the maid cafe
  • Do particularly well on exams (requires in-depth knowledge)
  • Dodge chalk thrown in class (requires high skill)
  • Work part-time at the convenience store
  • Read books
  • To watch movies
  • Watch DVDs
  • Play video games

Best Ways to Improve Knowledge


As a student, knowledge is essential for success in school. You can improve it regularly without taking extra time by answering the questions correctly in class, so that you will get stable knowledge points if you know all the answers. Knowledge can also be improved alongside some other social stats at places like the Diner. Knowledge can be improved by doing the following:

  • Spending time with Hifumi
  • Choose to pay attention in class instead of slacking off
  • Correctly answer class questions
  • Study at the library, restaurant or Leblanc
  • Correctly answer the TV quiz questions
  • Solve crosswords in Leblanc
  • Read books
  • To watch movies
  • Watch DVDs
  • Play video games

Another way to improve social statistics

There are things in Persona 5 Royal that will slightly improve your social stats or increase one of your random stats. Working part-time at Crossroads offers opportunities to improve many of your social stats based on the customers in attendance on any given day. Completing the Big Bang Burger Challenge can boost every one of your social stats except cuteness if you succeed, but even if you fail you still get a little guts boost. Lastly, the juice stand in the Shibuya Underground Walkway sells juice that increases one of your stats without skipping at any time. Planning your weeks to enjoy the boosted activities on certain days, like going to the baths on Mondays or Thursdays or buying juice on Sundays, is essential for improving all of your social stats as effectively as possible.
