Kou Ichijo Social Link Guide

Strength arcana

How to unlock

On or after 4/19, go to the Classroom Building 1F (near the exit) after school to join a sports club and pick the Basketball Team. The link starts the first day you attend practice. Choosing the Soccer Team instead gives Daisuke's version of the Strength link — only one per playthrough.

Availability

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday — at club practice on school days, at the Shopping District North on Sundays/holidays. Not available on rainy days.
