Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

How to Use Sync Strikes

Add to Watchlist

How to Sync Strike
Sync Strikes can be unleashed when your Sync Gauge and another ally's Sync Gauge are both full in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Read on to learn more about how to do Sync Strikes and fill the Sync Gauge here.

How to Fill the Sync Gauge

Perform Actions Near an Ally

You can fill an ally's Sync Gauge by fighting near them. Sync Gauges can also be filled quickly by doing certain actions like interrupting an attack or doing a switch attack.

How to Use Sync Strikes

Wait for Sync Gauges to be Filled Then Press L to Activate

1
Come close to the ally with a Sync Strike prompt ready, then press the NSW - L button to Perform a Sync Strike.
2
Follow the indicated combo prompts that the Sync Strike tells you to do. The effects of Sync Strikes can vary depending on the partner, providing buffs, extra damage or both at the same time.
3 Sync 3
Once the Sync Attack is finished, you will have to wait for at least two sync gauges to recharge again before being able to unleash another.

Use at Opportune Moments in Combat

Sync Strikes can deal greater damage than regular or special attacks against enemy targets, and also provides you a lengthy time of reprieve to reposition in combat afterwards. Make sure to use them whenever the opportunity presents itself!

Sync Strikes are Best Chained with Finishers

Use your Sync Strikes when the enemy's health is low enough to chain into a finisher, allowing you to quickly end fights without the enemy retaliating.
