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.

Rank 3

| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| I recommend adding more shellfish to your diet, like oyster and abalone. They’re packed with iron and easy to cook. | Either Option |
Rank 4
As we enter the art room, Hiraga will be talking to himself and we’ll hear some things we shouldn’t have.

During art club, the club advisor will announce that Hiraga will be guaranteed to win an award!
| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Wait. Then… that means… | You should tell your dad! |

| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Everyone’s working so hard… | Either Option |
| I just don’t know what to think. | It’s your choice now. |
Rank 7
During art club, Hiraga will once again ask you to meet up afterwards for advice.
| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| It’s like he’s suddenly trying to be more understanding. It’s weird. | Do you want to be a doctor? |
