Essential Bond Skills

Here are Bond Skills the Protagonist needs to unlock as soon as the Bond System is enabled:

Bondmaker

Bondmaker raises the amount of Bond experience points you gain in battle. Unlocking this is top priority to allow you to unlock more skills quicker moving forward.

Extortionist

Level this Bond Skill in order to gain more money and item drops from battles. You will eventually need to buy essential accessories during the Sapporo story so its better to save up as soon as possible.

Oracle Recovery

Oracle Recovery fully restores all characters’ HP and SP after battle. The points required might seem a lot but investing on the skill early comes in handy in the long run. This is an incredibly useful skill for saving up on recovery items while exploring Jails.

Ambusher

Allows you to restore the HP of all allies by performing a sneak attack on enemies. Combined with Oracle Recovery, this will further reduce your reliance on HP recovery items while battling enemies in Jails.

Other useful bond skills

Jewel Hunter

Jewel Hunter increases the chance of finding treasure demons. Unlike Persona 5, the treasure demons in Strikers cannot be captured.  Instead, when the player defeats a treasure demon, the party earns large amounts of experience and money. Some fights even grant bonus items such as consumable items and skill cards.

Strength Boost

Increases St for all party members which affects Physical as well as Gun attacks. Although Strength, can be unlocked almost instantly, they shine a little later.
