Teddie Social Link
Teddie's Star Social Link in Persona 4 Golden ranks up on story dates and dungeon clears, from Jun 24 to Dec 5; rank 10 comes only on the normal or true ending path and lets you fuse Kamui and Helel.
Teddie's Star Social Link in Persona 4 Golden ranks up by itself: rank 1 comes with an event on Jun 24, later ranks with dated events or with clearing dungeons, and rank 10 on Dec 5, which happens only on the normal or true ending path, per RPG Site's Fool, Star and Judgement guide. Along the way Teddie learns Auto Rakukaja, Recarm, Marakunda and Samarecarm, and rank 10 lets you fuse Kamui and Helel, the Star arcana's strongest Personas. You cannot miss a rank by neglecting him; only a bad ending stops the link. In Persona 4 Revival (Feb 18, 2027) every Social Link is fully voiced, and Atlus calls the game a full remake of Golden, but it has not published Revival's rank dates.

Source: RPG Site's Fool, Star and Judgement guide, which names the rank 10 skill as Evade Electric.
Because ranks 2, 4 and 9 wait on dungeon clears, finishing a dungeon early brings Teddie's next rank sooner. Each rank also improves the Star Personas you fuse, so a fusion planned for Kamui waits on Dec 5. See Persona Fusion and Best Personas.
Why is Teddie's rank 10 missable?
Rank 10 sits on Dec 5, after the Dec 3 decision that splits the story. On any path but the normal or true one, the game does not reach that event, RPG Site says; see the Investigation Team Social Link for that choice and Persona 4 Endings for the routes.
Teddie's link in Persona 4 Revival
Atlus has not published Revival's rank dates or rewards. The Social Links are unchanged in nature, Kazuhisa Wada told Anime Corner on Jul 8, 2026, with "little bits and pieces" added to some, per PCGamesN, and every Social Link event has newly recorded voices, per Atlus's Japanese site. Teddie shows up in Revival's Steam screenshots, with the protagonist and Yosuke before a giant mouth, and calling support in battle. The guides read here cover Golden only, so what the PS2 Persona 4 did differently with this link is not stated. The clip is Atlus's Sep 13, 2026 Teddie trailer, Revival footage whose name card credits Laila Berzins as his English voice.
