Associations

Association units are placed in the smaller box to the bottom right of the main unit heroes.

There are three main types of Associations that can apply:

• Normal Association
• Combined Attack
• Grace

Normal Associations offer bonuses when specific units are placed in the Association slot.

Combined Attacks are specific relationships between two units that will modify the main unit’s Ultimate Move. An example of a Combined Attack is Red Guila’s Chain Explosion becoming Bomb Cyclone when Howzer is placed in her Association slot. This modified Ultimate Move will usually have better stats as well as a different animation. When using Association units for Combined Attacks, it is more cost-effective to use SR units since it’ll be easier to max out the Ultimate Move levels for SR units.

In addition to the above bonuses, members of the Goddess race also offer Graces, which apply even if they do not have an Association with the main unit hero whose Association slot the Goddess is filling. These bonuses are:

• Ludociel: Grace of Flash (debuff evasion)
• Festival Ludociel: Grace of Flash (attack increase with buffs and stances)
• Tarmiel: Grace of Ocean (HP recovery)
• Sariel: Grace of Thunder (increased damage - ignores enemy’s Crit Defense)

Common Relationships
