Profile
Billiards is an activity the protagonist can find in the Penguin Sniper club in Kichijoji. One session costs ¥800. Playing billiards can help boost one of their Social Stats by random, except for Kindness. Additionally, 1 Confidant point will be given with those that have attended the game, although the results cannot be affected by multipliers like having a Persona of a matching Arcana, and having scored high on exams.
Playing billiards will give the protagonist access to specific books, which they can read to increase their Technical Rank, which includes boosting their damage and down rate, as well as expand on the elements that can achieve Technical damage. The Rank and its modifiers are shared among all party members.
