Increase the Level Cap with Promotion

Partners have a level cap that can be raised through Promotion. This process also provides a permanent stat increase.
Unlock Promotion By Clearing Missions

To promote a Partner, you must first clear their specific Promotion Mission. These missions become available after you reach a certain point in the main combat missions and achieve a specific level.
Upgrade Manifest Ego

You can upgrade a Partner's Passive by obtaining duplicates to advance their Manifest Ego.
Four Duplicates Needed to Max

A total of four identical Partners are required to fully upgrade a Partner's Manifest Ego (max limit break).
Benefits of Equipping a Partner

Boosts Combatant Stats

Enables the Partner's Ego Skill
In battle, you can consume EP to activate the Partner's unique Ego Skill, similar to a Combatant's skill.
