Persona 3 Portable: Emperor Arcana Hidetoshi Odagari social link guide

Join the student council and solve a mystery with Hidetoshi

Hidetoshi is a member of the student council, and after Mitsuru asks you to join, you’ll meet the ambitious student. Both protagonists can create a social link with Hidetoshi, but he will only profess his love for the female protagonist.

Here is everything you need to know about the Emperor social link.

Emperor Arcana social link: What is Odin?

Odin is one of the easier personas to craft, but you will have to be level 57 before you can craft it. You also have to max out the Emperor Arcana social link by talking to Hidetoshi at the student council. However, it will automatically gain 10 levels thanks to your maxed-out social link.

Odin’s power is based around Electric-type attacks, but it has a glaring weakness to Wind-type attacks. It’s important to equip a Wind negating accessory if you want to use it. However, Odin might be the strongest Electric user in the game, which can be helpful in the final fight.

Here are the moves it learns:

• Start - Ziodyne
• Start - Vile Assault
• Start - Maziodyne
• Level 60 - Elec Amp
• Level 63 - Thunder Reign
• Level 65 - Spell Master
