Part-time jobs are an excellent way to earn Yen and boost specific social stats. For example, working at the Crossroads Bar increases your Guts and Charm, while the Flower Shop boosts Kindness and Proficiency. Some jobs also unlock new Confidants or Requests. Beyond jobs, various activities contribute to social stats: studying at the diner or library (Knowledge), reading books (various stats), crafting infiltration tools (Proficiency), taking baths (Charm), and watering your plant (Kindness). Always check which stats you need to raise for upcoming Confidant ranks or story events and plan your daily activities accordingly. Efficient grinding is key to unlocking all content.
While Persona 5 emphasizes balancing part-time jobs for social stat growth, Persona 5 Tactica shifts the focus entirely toward tactical combat and skill tree progression.
