Details
Since this is a field with unusable items, some items cannot be used. Some attacks will reduce the Awakening gauge. You can break it with 2H Spear skills. When its HP falls beneath a certain amount, it changes mode. When it changes mode, it receives a buff. Additionally, its Break conditions change. Skill Breaks can be performed with skills that are both Thrust Element and Fire Element. With each Break or Skill Break, it will be weakened by a stack debuff that increases damage dealt from players. In the Character Quest and Labyrinth, at the beginning of battle, it grants a "Critical resistance" and "Reduces damage" buff. It uses the "Increase Defense" buff. It uses the "Seal item" debuff.

Equip a Link Sword Skill or Link Ability, then press the dedicated Link Button to activate 《Link State》. While in Link State, performing actions in battle raises your Link Level, gradually enhancing the following abilities: ・Attack ・Defense ・Critical Rate ・Damage amount of Link Sword Skills Link Level increases when you attack with a Link Sword Skill, use a Switch, activate party buffs, and perform other qualifying actions. Reaching certain Link Levels will also unlock unique effects based on each Skill Record, allowing for additional enhancements tailored to your playstyle.
When your party members overlap states such as Awakening, Accele, Full Burst, Chain, or Link, a new state, Skill Link State, is activated. While in this state, the power of the corresponding skills increases, and when combined with the enhanced stats of Link State, you can unleash even greater firepower. And if both you and your allies are in Link State and successfully perform a Switch using a Link Sword Skill together... The ultimate 《Switch Link》 can be unleashed! This powerful action, unique to 《Link Skill》, occurs the moment synchronization clicks into place.
The following section explains the full mechanics of Link Skills in detail.
1. Activating Link State
By pressing the Link Button, which appears when a Link Skill is equipped, you can enter Link State. If Koharu or an Assisting Character also has a Link Skill equipped, they will enter Link State automatically when the player activates it. *If you only have Link Sword Skills equipped that do not match your current weapon type, the Link Button cannot be used.
2. Link Level and Its Effects
While in Link State, various effects are enhanced step by step according to your Link Level. *Koharu and Assist Characters each have their own individual Link Level. • Player Status Increases
Status

Attack
Link Level x 5
Defense
Link Level x 2
Critical Rate

・Increases the Skill Power of Link Sword Skills Increase Amount: Link Level x 4% This benefit also applies when using Link Sword Skills set inside Connect. *If a Link Sword Skill is included within a MOD setup, it will be treated strictly as a MOD Skill and will not gain these effects. You can check the details of each effect by pressing the Link Skill Info button in Menu > Status > Player Equipment, then opening the Link Status tab. ↓ ・Individual Link Skill effects will activate at certain Link Levels Each Skill Record activates its own unique effect. For details, please refer to the description of each Skill Record. *“LLv” in descriptions is an abbreviation for Link Level. You can also check the detailed effects by pressing the Link Skill Info button in Menu > Status > Player Equipment, then opening the Equipped Link Skills tab.
3. How to Increase Link Level
Link Level increases through specific actions in battle, such as attacking with Link Sword Skills, performing a Switch, or using party buffs.

7. After Link State Ends
After Link State ends, a cooldown is applied, during which you cannot use the Link Button. This cooldown continues even while logged out, and the timer will keep progressing until Link can be used again.
When you are in Link State, you can gain additional bonuses by entering certain states together with your Link Targets. 1. What Is a Link Target?
When you enter Link State, any party members in the same area become your Link Targets. If those party members also enter Link State, you become their Link Target as well.
2. About Skill Link
When you are in Link State and both you and your Link Target enter specific states (such as Awakening, Accele, Full Burst, Chain, or Link) you will trigger Skill Link State. While in this state, the power of the corresponding skills increases. When Skill Link State activates, a ring will appear around both characters, indicating which Skill Link State is active *Multiple states can be active at the same time. The ring color will change accordingly. In addition, the icons above the Link Button, which indicate which Skill Link states are currently active, will light up.
