Link Abilities

Master cooperative combat in Summer Nightmare by learning how to activate Link Abilities. Enhance your party with follow-up attacks and defensive assists.

Link Abilities are cooperative skills that activate when two characters are linked together in combat. These abilities provide various benefits, such as follow-up attacks, defensive assists, or status effect removals. Establishing strong links between compatible characters is crucial for maximizing your party's combat efficiency.

• Follow-up Attacks: When a linked partner lands a critical hit or breaks an enemy's guard, the other linked character may perform a follow-up attack, dealing additional damage.
• Assists: Link abilities can also trigger defensive assists, where a linked partner guards against an incoming attack or provides a healing boost.
• Status Recovery: Some links allow partners to automatically cure status ailments inflicted on their linked ally.
• Burst/Rush: As you progress, you'll unlock more advanced link-based mechanics like Rush and Burst, which involve multiple linked characters performing powerful coordinated attacks.

The effectiveness of Link Abilities often depends on the compatibility between characters, which can be improved through story progression or specific events. Regularly check your character notes to see which characters have strong natural links and how to develop them further. Strategic linking can significantly increase your damage output and survivability in challenging encounters.
