In the original Persona 5, your relationships with various NPCs and party members is represented by the Confidant (Social Link) system. Persona 5 Strikers doesn’t have such a system but the closest feature to the said system is the Bond System. In simpler terms, Bond Skills are passive buffs and effects that can improve your party’s overall combat capability.

In this page, we’ll cover the available bond skills, how to avail them, how to improve them. These are just our recommendations so don’t be afraid to experiment and try out the bond skills you think will suit your gameplay better.

What are Bond Skills?

Bond Skills are special passive effects and buffs that are applied to your entire party. To purchase them, you’ll need Bond Points. These are obtained as your Bond Level increases. Allocated Bond Points can’t be recovered or re-allocated to a different Bond Skill so make sure to read the description and select the one that you wanted.

Bond Skills will start at LV1 but their effects can be further improved by leveling them up. Increasing the level cap of your Bond Skills can be achieved by completing certain requests.

How to Unlock Bond Skills?

This feature unlocks automatically on 7/27 (in-game date) and will appear under the Command Menu. More Bond Skills will become available as you proceed with the story and you can increase the level of unlocked Bond Skills by completing certain requests.
