Persona 3 Reload Mitsuru/Empress Social Link Guide (Best Answers & Gifts)

Just leveling up in Persona 3 Reload isn’t enough. You need to make sure you’re building and maintaining bonds with your teammates as well if you want to fuse stronger Personas. Here’s a complete guide to maxing out your Social Link with Mitsuru, the Empress, in Persona 3 Reload.

First things first, Mitsuru’s Social Link will only become available in Persona 3 Reload on 11/21. You also need to have your Academics stat maxed out or she won’t even give you the time of day. Once both requirements have been met, find her after school, right outside the Faculty Office on the first floor.

Mitsuru will be available from Monday to Saturday after school, and you can also hang out with her during the exam periods.

Each time you hang out with Mitsuru in Persona 3 Reload, you’ll need to choose the right dialogue options in order to earn the most points that allow you to quickly reach the next rank. One other thing to keep in mind is that you need to have an Empress arcana Persona with you when you spend time with her. This will ensure that you get the maximum amount of points when choosing the right dialogue options, allowing you to get through her Social Link more efficiently.

We’ve listed all of the best answers down below:

It doesn’t really matter whether you choose to romance Mitsuru or not, though it’s worth noting that the friendly option will actually net you one lesser point towards rank 10. If you do choose to romance her, keep in mind that Persona 3 Reload does have some consequences for getting into relationships with multiple girls.
