Persona 3 Reload: Yukari Takeba (Lovers) Social Link choices guide
One of the very first friends the protagonist makes in Persona 3 Reload is Yukari - in fact, you could consider her the female lead of the game. That means it's inevitable that you'll quickly forge the Yukari Takeba social link early on - and from there, you have the option of strengthening that friendship or even turning it into a romantic relationship. Doing so will reveal storylines - and offer battle rewards. This here page is our Yukari S-Link guide, and will help you to hit rank 10 in an efficient manner.
The Yukari S-Link is of course in all versions of Persona 3, but it's important to note that it differs in small but significant ways between each version of the game. As such, this particular guide is only appropriate for Persona 3 Reload - head to our P3 Portable Yukari guide if you're playing an older version. For P3 Reload, this guide is part of our wider Social Links guide set, and goes hand-in-hand with out 100% Max Link walkthrough, if you really want hard instruction.
Yukari S-Link Guide - Lovers (Persona 3 Reload)
The Social Links system was actually introduced in Persona 3, and though it's changed form and names over the years in other games, the core is the same. Making friends and hanging out with them can raise the 'rank' of their social link, and this offers Persona Fusion bonuses and other rewards for that link's associated Persona Arcana - in the case of Yukari, Lovers. This guide has all dialogue options for every rank of the Yukari Takeba social link, making it easy to rank up quickly.
A quick note on ranking up; we've listed point totals next to dialogue below, which represents how much of a bonus gain to your hidden S-Link stat each option gives you. This includes the Arcana Bonus - so ensure you are carrying a Lovers Arcana Persona when you hang out with Yukari, otherwise the numbers won't match up. We've tried hard to make this guide as spoiler-free as we can.
