What To Prioritize In July

During the first week of July, you’ll want tocomplete the available sections of Tartarusas quickly as you’re able to. While doing so, make sure torescue the missing personsthat are trapped inside.

You’ll want to beabove level 20before fighting The Hierophant and The Lovers on the full moon.

After you’re battle ready, yourbiggest focus should be boosting your stats during July. The most important one to rank up is yourAcademicsstat, which will influence how yourfinal exams go during the week of July 14 through 18.

There are several days when you may have astudy session at your dorm, and you should take advantage of these instead of doing something else.

You want toaim for an Academics stat that’s at least rank fourto do well on your exams.

Since you will have numerous days when you canspend time with Social Links, make sure to do this often. Having aPersona with a matching Arcanamakes the time spent more worth it.

If you don’t have a matching Persona with an available Social Link, sometimes it’sbetter just to spend time doing something to raise your stats.

There are a fewnew Social Links that will become availablethis month, as long as you’ve reached the required prerequisites. Unlock them when you can in order to have a greater variety of people to spend time with.

When To Expect Them

The Lovers Arcana

Yukariwill be approachable in your classroom starting at the end of the month, but you needCharm at rank six.

The Devil Arcana

You can encounterPresident Tanaka(of Tanaka’s Amazing Commodities, of course) at Paulownia Mall afterprogressing far enough with the Hermit Arcana Social Link.

The Tower Arcana

You can encounter themonk Mutatsuat Club Escapade afterprogressing far enough with the Strength Arcana Social Link.

Overall, just focus on making sure you’re improving your stats, ranking up your Social Links, and leveling up in Tartarusin a balanced way.

There will be several days whencertain activities are blocked off (like the nights you may’t go to Tartarus), and you should take advantage of these to do something else worthwhile.
