Persona 3 Reload: All Heart items and how to get them

Persona 3 Reload lets you fuse a variety of Personas based on mythical figures from various cultures across the globe, with some letting you acquire special unique Heart Items. These items are then used for different reasons.

Heart Items in Persona 3 Reload, explained

In Persona 3 Reload, certain Personas have a chance to bear a Heart Item. These special items will show up when you first fuse that Persona, with Igor informing you if a certain Persona has one. This is indicated by a Heart icon in their Compendium entry and it will show what item you can acquire from them.

Every Persona that can create Heart Items will produce different ones, and certain Personas will also produce Heart Items unique to them. These Heart Items can then be taken to the Mayoido Antique Shop to create special weapons and armor. Depending on the quality of the Heart Item, you may end up with gear stronger than your current level will allow you to acquire.

Heart Items can be acquired by leveling up a Persona after fusing them to the point where they learn their final skill. Once the skill is unlocked, the Heart Item will unlock too. For this reason, we recommend fusing these Personas when you have a great Social Link Bonus to make the most out of a fusion. This technique also works with Special Fusions.

For the sake of clarity, we have created a list that showcases every Heart Item in Persona 3 Reload and how you can acquire them.
