Persona 5: The Phantom X – How to rank up Social Stats
By Ryan Woodrow

Your Social Stats are an important part of any Persona game, though they work a little differently than normal in P5X. While in the main series, your social stats act as a progress-blocker for a variety of things, in P5X, they have one main function, which is increasing your Synergy Bonds, as well as a few minor bonuses like unlocking new items in certain shops.
Each bond in the game is ranked up one of your Social Stats – you can see our full guide to Synergy Bonds in P5X to learn more – so it’s important to know what activities will raise which stats.
