Relationship & Affinity System

Building a strong bond with your students through the Relationship/Affinity system not only deepens your connection to them but also provides tangible combat benefits.

• Increasing Affinity:
  • Gifts: Give students gifts they like (check their profile for preferred categories). Gifts provide the largest affinity boost.
  • Cafe Interactions: Students visiting your Cafe will occasionally have speech bubbles above their heads. Tapping these interactions increases their affinity.
  • Momotalk: Responding correctly to Momotalk messages from students also boosts their affinity.
  • Battles: Students participating in battles gain a small amount of affinity.
• Affinity Stat Bonuses:
  • Each affinity level provides a small, cumulative stat boost (e.g., +ATK, +HP, +DEF). These bonuses are significant over time.
  • At certain affinity milestones (e.g., Level 20, 40, 60), students unlock new passive skills or enhance existing ones, making them considerably stronger. These skill upgrades are often crucial for maximizing a student's potential.
• Relationship Stories:
  • As affinity levels increase, you unlock "Relationship Stories" (also known as "Bond Stories"). These provide lore, character development, and often reward Pyroxene upon completion.

Strategic Tip: Actively engage with the affinity system. Prioritize giving gifts to your most-used students, especially those whose affinity milestones unlock powerful skill upgrades. The stat boosts and skill enhancements from high affinity levels can make a noticeable difference in challenging content.
