Persona 4 Golden: Magician Arcana Yosuke Hanamura social link guide
Yosuke acts as your best friend in Persona 4 Golden and is the very first social link you’ll unlock. As a party member, progressing through his social link will offer useful and often powerful abilities in combat, so you’ll want to make sure you max it out as early as you can.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Magician Arcana social link.
Magician Arcana social link: What is Mada?
Mada is one of the best late-game persona available to players, requiring players to be at level 78 to fuse it. You’ll also have to max out the Magician Arcana social link by growing your friendship with party member Yosuke.
Mada’s power is based around Fire-type attacks, but it has a weakness to Ice-type attacks, which are thankfully fairly rare in the late-game. Players should still equip Ice negating accessories if they want to use it. Mada is probably the strongest Fire-type attacker in the game, which is helpful in the late-game as most enemies are either weak or neutral to it, and few resist it.
Here are the moves Mada learns:
- Start - Agidyne
- Start - Foolish Whisper
- Start - Fire Boost
- Level 81 - Maragidyne
- Level 82 - Evade Ice
- Level 83 - Ailment Boost
- Level 84 - Fire Amp
