Let’s find out together, in this dedicated guide, how to increase the Social Dowry of Charm in Persona 5 Royal: take a bath or read a book, go to the cinema or rent a movie!
The success of the fifth installment of the Persona series has definitely brought her into the spotlight of an audience that, let’s face it, until then perhaps had never heard of it. Furthermore, the release of Persona 5 Royal has consolidated its affection and appreciation from the public and critics (even from us, here our review!) Making it also a riot of sales. Recently the game has also arrived on Nintendo Switch and Microsoft consoles, as well as on PC, and you can also find it in the free Xbox Game Pass catalog. In short, you no longer have any excuse not to play it. We have therefore decided to take it back in our hands too, to give you some other introductory guide to the game and, in particular, to the Social Skills that our protagonist can develop in the Life Sim of the Atlus production.
Before starting
In the past, in fact, we have already talked to you about how to increase Social Skills in Persona 5. This series of guides wants to be more specific, going to see for each 10 different ways to perfect yourself under a specific Dowry. Let’s start by saying that the Social Skills are five in total: Knowledge, Expertise, Courage, Charm and Kindness. Many of the methods for increasing them are common to each other and differ only in the type of activity actually chosen. Let’s not delay, and let’s see, in this specific case, how to increase the Social Dowry of Charm in Persona 5 Royal!
Take a nice bath and… no alcohol, just tea! | Persona 5 Royal: how to increase the “Charm” Social Dowry
If you’ve spent the day fighting Shadows in the Palaces, the most natural advice we can give you is to relax and take a nice bath, to wash away dirt and tiredness. You can use the Bathouse only in the evening, just to underline how much the best way to end the day is. This will allow you to increase your charm by two points, but if you go there on a Monday, you will get three.
Shibuya Diner is a place you will go to quite often, especially when you have an upcoming exam session. During the month of August, the Diner will start selling Frui-Tea, an iced tea useful to fight the infernal heat wave that has hit the city. It may seem strange to you, but drinking Frui-Tea will do wonders for your skin and will increase your Charm by a few points. In addition, you will also get Knowledge points because it will all happen while you are studying. In short: two birds with one stone.
Books make you more fascinating, just as a job doesn’t just give you money! | Persona 5 Royal: how to increase the “Charm” Social Dowry
Being a bookworm in Persona 5 Royal is something you will need to see as necessary if you want to quickly increase your Social Skills. The game offers you several books that have to do with charm, but you will also need to know how to manage time, which as you well know is counted in terms of Life Simulation in the Atlus series. Always go and check the library, because the catalog is renewed as you go through the story.
Also, working may seem boring, but it will allow you to earn a little something and also get additional Charm points. There are dozens of jobs to choose from, that’s true, but perhaps in terms of pure charm the most convenient is to work in the supermarket (the Convenience Store). Furthermore, if you manage to scan a barcode correctly, you will also get bonus points.
Go to the cinema or rent a movie | Persona 5 Royal: how to increase the “Charm” Social Dowry
Going to see a movie at the cinema with one of your teammates will not only increase the bond between you, but it will also guarantee you a boost to some statistics. The films that will increase your Charm are as follows:
- Fighting Friends
- Showtime Tiger
If, on the other hand, you don’t feel like being social or the cinema does not broadcast the aforementioned films, you can always choose to rent a DVD and watch it in your room. You can purchase the DVD player from the thrift shop outside the LeBlanc. The movie description will help you choose, because it will also detail the stats that will get a boost, so you don’t necessarily have to go random. You can only rent one movie at a time, which is quite inconvenient, but you will still need at least twice to see a full one.
The Big Bang Burger Challenge and… the lessons at school | Persona 5 Royal: how to increase the “Charm” Social Dowry
Take on the Big Bang Burger Challenge it is a rather quick method to increase each Social Skill, therefore also the Charm. To enter the challenge you will have to spend 2000 yen each time and if you fail you will not get any Charm points, only Courage. You will then have to complete the challenge to get the most out of it, which will require you enough Expertise and Courage points. It is definitely not the simplest method of those listed so far, but it is the one that pays off much better.
Joker can also earn Charm points at school by interacting with his classmates and placing himself as the best student at the end of an exam session. So you can become more charming by being nerds. Easy. There will also be times when the teacher will try to throw a piece of chalk at you when he realizes that you are not paying attention. If you manage to dodge it, you will get additional Charm points.
Billiards and … chat! | Persona 5 Royal: how to increase the “Charm” Social Dowry
In Persona 5 Royal the Kichijoji section has been added and the Penguin Sniper will grant you several methods to increase your Social Skills. In the specific case of the Charm, winning a game of billiards will guarantee you several points. It will cost 800 yen to play, an honest expense, and you can even invite one of your friends to play with you.
Finally, talking to your Confidants is an honest method of earning Charm points and one that you should consider. Most of the interactions you can have with other characters will grant you bonuses to Social Skills and, in the specific case of Charm, the two most useful are Yoshida and Ohya. During the summer you can also spend time with Yusuke.
