Notes
- Ability's effects max out at +15% Defense and +8% damage reduction; characters only show a 15% gain in the 'Attributes' section of the Character Record, and only 8% under the 'Resistances' section. User gets 3% damage reduction but requires two more companions nearby to jump to 5% and the fourth to reach 8%. Non-users have 0%, reach 3% in range of the user, 5% for another companion, and 8% for the last.
- Does not stack with a second companion using Battle Synergy.
- Companions cannot "daisy-chain" by being within range of someone who is within range; to receive benefits, companions must be within 10m of ability's user.
Bugs
- Stacks with Bravery if you activate one quickly after the other. (Fixed in patch 1.03, abilities are now mutually-exclusive.)
