by Kindness is one of the five Social Statistics that we have to increase in Persona 5 Royal in order to improve Joker’s social skills, something essential to unlock various things in the game .
In this case, Kindness determines how kind Joker is, although now below we will investigate a little more about what exactly this statistic provides us with and how we can increase it.
It is not a complicated statistic to upload, but it is true that until about mid-August you will not have some of the best methods available (which is through some Confidants), so my recommendation is that you try to go there until then. going up but without obsessing because what has been said, from that date this topic will be much easier.
WHY DO YOU NEED KINDNESS?
Kindness will determine how kind, empathetic and considerate Joker is. The main real utility of him in the game is to enable/allow you to progress relationships with some of the Confidants. I detail them below:
- Ann Takamaki :
- Unlocked Rank: 2 – Prerequisite: Kindness Rank 2.
- futaba sakura :
- Unlocked Rank: 2 – Prerequisite: Kindness Rank 4.
- Sojiro Sakura : Good old Sojiro will also help us increase Kindness.
- Unlocked Rank: 7 – Prerequisite: Kindness Rank 5.
In addition, the Kindness also allows us to unlock the Part-Time Job at the “Crossroads” bar in Shinjuku. We will specifically need Kindness Rank 3, but also Dexterity Rank 3.
HOW TO INCREASE KINDNESS
These are all the methods to increase Kindness in Persona 5 Royal:
TAKE CARE OF OUR PLANT
Taking care of the plant that we have in our room on the top floor of the Leblanc is undoubtedly the best way to increase our Kindness since it is a totally passive way to improve this attribute with the enormous addition that we will not lose anything on top of it of time taking care of her (that is, time will not pass as it usually happens with most of the actions we carry out in Persona 5 Royal).
To take care of the plant we will simply have to interact with it and after this select some nutrients (now we will see them), after this you will simply have to wait 16 days until the plant gives you the option to add nutrients again (otherwise Morgana will tell us that for the moment she is healthy).
Depending on which nutrients you use, you will get more or less Kindness points when applying them:
- Garden Energy : +1 Kindness. Available for sale at the Shibuya Main Street Bargain Shop for 500 yen.
- Bionutrients : +2 Kindness. We can buy them at the Shibuya Underground Mall Flower Shop for 1,200 yen.
- Super Fertilizer : +3 Kindness. It is purchased at the Shinjuku Flower Shop in the Red Light District for 3,000 yen, so you will not be able to obtain these nutrients until you advance a little in your game.
Since we have to wait 16 days for each application of nutrients, I recommend that you keep an eye on your plant every day just in case; In the end, it’s an action that takes seconds and that’s how you make sure you don’t forget it, it’s acquiring the habit at the end.
SOJIRO SAKURA
Sojiro Sakura is a confidante who will give us Kindness by “staying with him” (which in this case will mostly be helping him with his work at Leblanc), so progressing in their relationship will be very interesting to increase this statistic and benefit from the things that we will obtain by improving our level with him as a Confidant.
Also keep in mind that at first we will get little kindness, but as you progress with it you will be able to get even more kindness. Of course, there will be a moment in the story when you will not be able to progress further in the relationship with this Confidant until you progress in the story (part of the reason why I told you that until the middle / end of August we will not have the best methods to raise this stat).
SHINYA ODA
Shinya Oda is another Confidant who will bring us Kindness by spending time with him. We can unlock this from September 4, since that is when we will obtain the Mementos request ” Winners do not Cheat “, which is the one with which we can unlock this Confidant.
As far as we are going, if we are staying with Shinya and Sojiro… it will be quite easy to increase the Kindness.
BOOKS, MOVIES AND VIDEO GAMES
As with the other statistics, these 3 methods will also allow us to obtain more Kindness (depending on the Book, Movie or Videogame in question). My recommendation is the following:
- Every beginning of the month, stop by the bookstores to see if there are new books.
- You can watch by renting movies at the Shibuya Video Store (you’ll have to buy the DVD Player at the Yongen-Jaya Thrift Shop, it doesn’t take long to unlock this in the story), you can also go to the movies.
- Always take the opportunity to read when there is room in the subway.
- You see buying Video Games, they are mainly bought in Akihabara (unlocks on August 31) and you can also buy some more occasionally at the Yongen-Jaya Second Hand Shop.
NOSTALGIC STEAK AT SHIBUYA RESTAURANT
- Kindness Points Gained: 1 + 1 Knowledge.
The Shibuya Restaurant is an interesting option if you want to increase Knowledge while also increasing another stat that you need . In this case we have a dish to enhance Kindness:
- Nostalgic Steak :
- Cost: 1100 yen.
- Points Awarded: 1 Kindness and 1 Knowledge.
There are few points of Kindness, but it is good to increase Knowledge, which in the end is the statistic that requires the most points to level up. Remember that study activities are more common when it rains.
WORK AT THE FLOWER SHOP (RAFFLESIA)
- Kindness Points Earned: 2.
If you accept the Part Time Job at Rafflesia, the Flower Shop, you will get Kindness and also pass money every time you work there. Remember that Part-Time Jobs can be purchased at the Shibuya Underpass, these will change depending on the day/time.
Of course, in order to accept this job you will need to have at least Charm Rank 2, which is a very low requirement.
In any case, I don’t recommend it too much because in the end it is more interesting to increase it by staying with the Confidants that I mentioned above since that way you also get the advantages that they promote to you by increasing their Confidant level.
CLEAN UP AT THE LEBLANC
- Kindness Points Gained: 1
One of the worst options since we will only get one Kindness point and nothing more than that (well, you also get 1 friendship point with Sojiro), but it is true that at the beginning of the game it is a very good way to get some points , for incidentally also progress with Sojiro Sakura.
To activate this action you will have to do the following:
- It must be at night because there can be no customers at the Leblanc.
- If there is a customer left at night, talk to him until he leaves.
- After this, interact with the bathroom that is next to the stairs that go up to your room.
Later on it will not be optimal at all, but what has been said, for the beginning it is fine.
