Acquiring Skill Cards Guide
By HayateButler
This guide provides an overview of skill cards in Persona 4 Golden, explains where you can get them, and how to acquire each available skill card (Shuffle Time or Chagall Cafe). Skill cards are extremely useful for teaching skills to your personas that normally do not learn them, and would otherwise only be available via fusion's skill inheriting.

What Are Skill Cards?
Skill cards are one-time use items that you can use to give one of your protagonist's personas the stated skill. These can be acquired in two ways:

At the end of each battle, if a Shuffle Time triggers, there is a chance a random skill card will be available for you to grab.


Alternatively, once you gain access to Okina City by riding your scooter 3x locally, you can go to Chagall Cafe (far left of Okina City) where you can obtain specific skill cards depending on the persona you currently have equipped.


Once you get your hands on a skill card, you can enter the Velvet room and give it to Marie and she will allow you to purchase as many copies as you want. Registering skill cards is also required for one of P4G's achievements, Card Collector, which requires the player to have registered 100 skill cards.

This guide will be split into two sections, the first covering shuffle time skill cards, and the second covering chagall cafe skill cards. Do note that there are some spoilers here, mainly dungeon names and persona names.
Shuffle Time Overview
Skill Card Availability
Skill cards earned from Shuffle Time are separated by the rank of the card you obtain. Naturally, the harder the dungeon, the higher the available ranks are.

*Skill cards lower rank than listed can still drop, but aren't included due to their low drop rate

Chagall Cafe Overview
While most skill cards can be obtained via Shuffle Time, there are some skills that are persona exclusive only. Not to mention, farming for skill cards and relying on RNG to give you the card you need is not very fun. Here's a list of all the skills available for all the personas you can acquire in the game. Unlocking their skill's skill card may require you to level them up so they can learn the skill first. Also note that going to the cafe with the persona will remove the skill card icon for that persona forever, so register that persona to your compendium before you go to the cafe, so you can resummon it and go to the cafe again if you prefer doing that over buying the skill card from Marie.


All skill cards that are cafe exclusive will be marked with an asterisk (*) after the skill name.

Resources & Notes
Please let me know if there are any mistakes.
Big thanks to the people providing feedback, as well as the following two resources:


Check out my other two guides, especially the social link schedule, as I spent a lot of time working on it due to the lack of detailed information on the subject, and noticeable inaccuracies that are probably a result of information pulled from Persona 4 but has changed since the game was updated to Persona 4 Golden.

Thanks for the update, updated the guide to reflect this.

Regarding Regenerate 2, I just got it from a Rank 6 skill card in the Secret Lab. So it is possible, just seems very rare.
vikee 28 Oct, 2023 @ 11:01am 
i need 100 skill cards for the achievement
HayateButler  [author] 12 Sep, 2023 @ 7:44pm 
Updated. Looks like all the party-wide buffs and debuffs are rank 4.
volvegta 12 Sep, 2023 @ 7:41pm 
Got anther one for you Matarukaja from a rank 4 card drop as well. this is what happens when I make a check list :P
volvegta 3 Sep, 2023 @ 9:40am 
Masukukaja rank 4 card drop as well
HayateButler  [author] 2 Sep, 2023 @ 10:47pm 
Thanks for letting me know, added that to the Rank 4 Support Skill Cards table.
volvegta 2 Sep, 2023 @ 10:40pm 
I just got a Marakunda from a rank 4 skill card witch does not show it on here just as heads up
HayateButler  [author] 6 May, 2023 @ 8:31am 
Good catch, marked Regenerate 2 to be Chagall Cafe exclusive.
Michael 6 May, 2023 @ 1:30am 
Shouldn't Titania's Regenerate 2 skill card also be marked with an asterisk? Cause I notice it is not on the list of skill cards that can be gotten through Shuffle Time but it can be gotten through cafe, and seemingly only cafe. Otherwise, thanks for this list, it is very helpful
