Battle Roles: Strike, Support & Tech Explained

An Indication Of What A Sync Pair Is Good At

Every Sync Pair will have a battle role assigned to them. Roles are a good indicator of each Pair's characteristics, and what fields they excel at. Change your team composition according to what the enemy brings to the table.

3 Roles Exists In-Game

There are currently 3 roles in game: Strike, Support & Tech. Each has their own strength & weaknesses that require careful planning for the team to function, so be sure to develop Sync Pairs from all 3 roles evenly.

Role Characteristics Chart

Role	Good At:
Striker	Has high damage and excels on the offensive.
Support	Has high durability and excels at buffing allies.
Tech	Good at debuffing & restricting enemy units.

Striker Characteristics And Tips

A Role That Excels At Dealing Damage

Strength	Has high offensive stats, and big damage dealing moves.
Weakness	Lower Hp, defense stats and is thus more vulnerable compared with other roles.

Make The Striker The Main Focus Of Your Team

Your Striker is the main firepower of your team. However, they aren't as durable as other roles. How much damage your Striker can actually dish out will be the key deciding factor in a battle. Make Striker the key component of your team, and have other roles back him up accordingly.

Support Characteristics And Tips

A Role Good At Buffing Allies

Strength	Can buff ally stats, heal, or remove debuffs. Has good survivability due to high HP.
Weakness	Struggles at dealing high damage. Solo performance may be lacking compared with others.

Use Support Moves Early In Battle

Support roles are good at buffing allies or healing. To get the most out of their buffs, use their moves early in the battle.

Tech Characteristics And Tips

Interfere With The Enemy Using Debuffs & Restrictions

Strength	Good at disrupting enemy tactics with weakening & restricting moves and abilities.
Weakness	Can potentially be useless if the enemy is immune or resistant to its debuffs.

A Role That Depends Heavily On The Enemy Composition

Techs excels at weakening & restricting enemy units. When used properly, they can shut down the enemy long enough for your Striker to do the job. However, their effectiveness varies greatly with enemy's resistances, so always confirm the enemy team members before bringing in a Tech.
