Lufel's Synergy Rank goes up as you progress through the Main Story.
With the recent addition of Miyu Sahara, she will take up a SS-Tier spot due to her ability to make advancing Synergy Bonds a whole lot faster. Her Rank 5 and 17 essentially give an additional 30% to any gift you give to a Synergy Bond, making the process significantly bearable.
Merope, upon certain ranks, will allow you to fuse some of the strongest Personas of their associated tiers. She is also easy to level up as you do not require a Social Stat to progress her Synergy!
Yumi Shiina is another contender as the best Synergy as she can provide you the Milk Tea recipe, which allows you to restore 2 Action Points!
Upon reaching Rank 9 with her, you can do this two times a week as you can now buy 2 Assam Teas, allowing you to craft two more Milk Teas.
Some characters unlock new items and Personas when you increase their Synergy Rank. Focus on increasing the Synergy Rank of these characters to progress through the game faster!
| How to Quickly Increse Synergy Rank |
|---|
| ✓ Increase Social Stats ✓ Prepare Preferred Gifts Before the Date ✓ Make Good Choices During Date Events ✓ Apply Multipliers During Date Events |

Before you can increase the Synergy of some characters, you will need to level up a certain social stat, like Proficiency for Motoha. Focus on raising that social stat so that you can quickly increase the Synergy Rank of your chosen character.
Social Stats Guide: How to Max Stats Fast

Before hanging out with a character, have one of their Preferred Gifts on hand. Prioritze their number one Preferred Gift since it gives double the amount of Affinity points.
You can check the Preferred Gifts of characters by going to Synergy in your Smartphone. Choose the target character and press the Likes button at the right side of the screen.

During Hang Out events, players will face several choices, and making the right choice will give you more Affinity points with the character. Make sure to focus on the Hang Out event so that you can pick the correct choice.
If you accidentally clicked on dialogue that does not give you the highest amount of points, simply restart the game by exiting and opening it again. This should allow you to play the event from the beginning and choose a new option!

If you apply the Multiplier feature, you can receive triple the rewards that but you will also consume 3x action points.
