August
August spans the summer vacation, providing complete daytime freedom without school attendance. The Full Moon operation on August 6 tasks SEES with investigating an abandoned hotel to eliminate the Hierophant and Lovers Arcana Shadows. Afterwards, the month is ideal for catching up on out-of-school Social Links, evening stats, Tartarus exploration, and participating in the Summer Film Festival.

Tips
- Equip anti-Charm accessories (such as the Narcissus Bow or Narcissus Flower) on your active party before facing the Lovers Shadow on August 6 to prevent your party members from turning on each other.
- Since school-based Social Links are entirely unavailable throughout August, prioritize non-school daytime Links like Hierophant (Old Couple), Hanged Man (Maiko), Star (Mamoru), and Sun (Akinari).
