How to Use the Synergy Materia

Link with Attack-type Magic Materia

Synergy linked.jpg

Synergy materia only activates when it is connected to Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, or Poison materia. You also need to be sure that the materia slots containing the Synergy materia and the attack-type materia are linked together.

Only Works on Non-active Characters

Once you have the Synergy and Magic materias linked together correctly, you can now activate it during combat.

To activate Synergy have your active character (or the one you are currently controlling) use an attack command like Triple Slash or another attack-type spell like Fire. This will make the non-active character with the Synergy materia automatically follow your attack with a spell from the Magic materia linked to the Synergy materia.

Casts First Tier Magic

Regardless of the level of Magic materia linked to it, Synergy will only cast the first tier spell of that Magic materia. This means only Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Aero, and Bio are available for follow-up attack made by Synergy.

Requires Sufficient ATB Bar and MP

Other than the requirements mentioned above, the non-active character with the Synergy materia should also have sufficient amount of ATB bars and MP to cast a follow-up spell.

No longer requires or consumes mp/atb. Might have additional “synergy” with hp/mp absorb when linked with same spell for free heals/mp. Might also cast second/third tier spells if a second/third tier spell is cast by the controlled character. Even without these other factors, this is now one of, if not the best, support materia.
