Here is our Strength Social Link guide for Yuko Nishiwaki in Persona 3 Portable. This guide includes the dialogue options, her available days, and more.

The guide may contain spoilers, so do be careful. It is also important to note that this guide is for Persona 3 Portable, which originally came out in 2010, as well as in 2023 with the port. The Social Link Guide for Strength in Persona 3 Reload is a different guide altogether.

Persona 3 Portable Yuko Nishiwaki Strength Social Link Guide

You can find Yuko during the day outside Classroom 2-F in Gekkoukan on Wednesdays and Saturdays. If there are exams, however, she will not be there. Unlike Persona 4 and 5,  the Protagonist does not get additional skills during battle. If you do max her Social Link level, however, you will receive the Kid's Letter, which allows the fusion of Siegfried.
