Welcome to NGB and our Persona 3 Reload Fortune Social Link guide. Here we’ll cover how to start the Fortune Social Link along with what you’ll need to do to increase its rank and the correct choices to the questions asked by Keisuke Hiraga. When you reach Rank 10, you’ll be able to fuse Lakshmi. You’ll also be gifted an Award Letter that will give you the benefits of a Rank 10 Fortune in New Game Plus.
How to Unlock the Fortune Social Link
In order to start the Fortune Social Link, you’ll need to progress the game until you reach the date of 6/17. On that day, the art club will start accepting new members. Head to the art room on the 1st floor of the school then choose to sign up when interacting with its doors. This will lead to an event where you’ll meet Hiraga and officially be welcomed as a member.
How to Rank Up the Fortune Social Link
To rank up the Fortune Social Link, you’ll need to hang out with Hiraga by attending art club. They meet up on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays. Also make sure to bring a Fortune persona with you to increase the rate you gain affinity with the social link.
Day Off Invite
On days off from school, Hiraga might message the Protag asking to hang out. If you agree to it, then you’ll have a chance to deepen your relationship with him.

| It really helped apply the paint to the canvas, so I’m sure that’s the only reason the judges even noticed. | You’ve got talent. |
