Persona 5: How to Raise Kindness

How to Raise Kindness in Persona 5

Kindness is the social stat that’s a bit trickier to raise than the others in Persona 5. You would think that every time you chose a kind or understanding dialogue option it would contribute in some way to this parameter, but it unfortunately doesn’t. That means you’re going to have to be really nice if you want to see this increase, especially since it’s required to deal with certain NPCs.

There are a few ways that you can work on increasing your Kindness stat while playing Persona 5. Here’s how:

• Read a book that’s focused on kindness and caring. You’ll have to finish the book before the experience is given to you, but it’s an easy way to get the job done. Do note that you can only read a given book once.
• Work a job in customer service. Working at Leblanc or certain other restaurants will increase this stat for you simply for having to interact with people. Retail jobs don’t seem to do it, though, so make sure it’s a restaurant that has you dealing directly with people. Also, note that not all restaurants do it.
• Helping certain NPCs will boost this stat, as well.
• Take care of the plant in your room.

These are the methods we’ve found while playing. Just make sure to plan out your time usage as you have other things to do, as well.
