What To Prioritize In October
In October, you'll want to prioritize leveling up in Tartarus and fusing stronger Personas. This point in the game is where things get more challenging, so you'll need to stop by the Velvet Room to practice fusion, register your Personas, and plan ahead for future battles.
You'll want to make sure you have more powerful skills, like Agidyne instead of Agi or Agailo. Additionally, you'll also want to begin preparing your Social Stats.
By now, they should at least be around level four, if not maxed out.
These will help you unlock the last few Social Links you're probably missing–but do not put these above Social Links you already have. Use your evenings instead to boost your stats with special events like the Big Eater Challenge at Wilduck.
The month of October is pretty heavy emotionally, so take this time to be with your teammates and process the events that take place with them. Your waking hours will be spent dealing with the aftermath of the full moon and what lies ahead.
