Social Link/Ken Amada

This article covers information about the Justice Social Link, Ken Amada, including events featured in Persona 3 Portable. Exclusive to the female protagonist's route, the Justice Social Link in the male protagonist's route is instead Chihiro Fushimi.
The female protagonist can start Ken's Social Link on September 1st. He can be found in Iwatodai Dormitory's lounge at night on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Initiating his Social Link requires max Courage (Badass).
Ken gives the female protagonist a Silver Key when the Social Link is maxed, which enables the fusion of Melchizedek.
==Skills==
Unlike Persona 4 and Persona 5, advancing a character's Social Link in Persona 3 does not grant skills usable in battle. Instead, completing the Fool Social Link, SEES, grants various benefits and abilities.
