In Bravely Default, you can call upon other players' characters to assist you in battle via the "Summon Friend" command. This guide explains how to use this feature, including sending your own moves to help others and exchanging summons.

Walkthrough

1
Summoning a Friend: Select "Summon Friend" then "Summon." Choose a friend summon from the list. Your character will use an action (1 BP) to call the summon when their turn arrives. The summon can damage enemies, heal allies, or perform other actions based on the chosen move.
2
Understanding Summon Info: Before summoning, check the Summon Info.
3
Level: Higher levels mean more powerful summons. A Level 10 summon is unlikely to help a Level 30 party.
4
The Move: This determines the summon's action. Moves can be renamed, and may come from different languages, making identification difficult early on.
5
Power: This number indicates the power of the move. A red number signifies damage to the enemy, while a blue number indicates recovery for your party. Note that this is the power the other player dealt, not necessarily what you will deal.
6
Lending a Hand (Sending a Move): Select "Summon Friend" then "Send." An orange frame will appear. Choose an applicable move to send. After winning the battle, your sent move will be updated. If automatic updating is off, check the Inbox icon in the map menu.
7
Exchanging Summons:
8
Online/StreetPass: Use the "Update Data" option or StreetPass to send and receive friend summons. This allows you to get new or updated summons from registered friends. Once per day, you can retrieve up to five random summons globally. Your own summon is automatically uploaded when using Update Data or StreetPass.

Pros:

Great for difficult situations or when other options are exhausted.
Allows use of overpowered summons from higher-level friends to defeat bosses quickly.
Can extend Special Move music buffs if the friend summon uses a Special Move.

Cons:

May feel like cheating, especially with high-level summons.
Not always reliable due to potential lack of internet access or StreetPass tags.
The moves received may not always be useful or could be moves you can perform yourself.
