Persona 3: How to increase the Social Bond of Lovers with Yukari Takeba
- Place of residence
- game guides
The special item that gives players access to the powerful Persona Fusion comes from maxing out the Lovers Social Link through Yukari Takeba in Persona 3.
Persona 3 Portable sees players interact with a diverse roster of characters that can be connected via the Social Link route from Aracana, such as the Lovers map seen by classmate Yukari Takeba. These deeper relationships built through Social Bonds allow players to better understand the other people present throughout the story, while also giving them a unique element that can only be achieved by reaching the highest rank possible. Players looking to explore Yukari’s Social Bond route will need to plan their time accordingly and interact with her frequently to unlock special interactions that deepen their bond.
Unlike the Social Bonds in Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Royal, the Yukari-related route does not grant the player any new skills or combat abilities. However, once the social bond for Yukari reaches rank 10 through points earned from choosing the correct dialogue prompts from event interactions, players obtain Yukari’s thread. This exclusive item acts as a phone accessory by definition, but it can also be used to equip the incredibly powerful Persona Cybele. Players can contact Yukari during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays to start this path to obtain the item.
Increasing Yukari’s Social Connection in Persona 3 Portable
Spending time with Yukari during these times unlocks random ranking events or special conversations that open up dialogue options for the player when interacting with the character. Not only in these events, but in others such as the phone call and the Christmas event, more points are awarded for choosing certain lines. The faster these points are accumulated, the faster players are in ranking events. Given that the final boss is fought on the upper floors of Tartarus, this becomes a significant problem; Elevating and even romancing Yukari to 10th through the male protagonist route serves to bring players into the previously mentioned combination to aid in battle.
