    Default A Guide to Setting Up Friend Partners (mostly up to date with Episode 4)

    Some people have been asking how to set up a good Friend Partner.
    This guide will try to cover and explain the most important points.

    March XXth 2016 Update:
    Reportedly, Skill Rings do not affect Friend Partners.
    13 star Summoner pet at level 120 is reportedly decent.
    There's an unconfirmed report that weapons with latents that apply a debuff may carry over to Friend Partners (eg. Flowen's Will).



    February 6th 2016 Update:
    Summoner is useless as a Friend Partner. Pet defense and damage seems akin to level 1, and they don't seem to use any Pet PAs.
    Friend Partner will also not switch pets when the initial pet gets knocked out.
    You also can't sub Summoner pets because Tact is main only and cannot be extended.
    HP Restorate does not affect Friend Partners.

    Also note that moving your weapon position is not reflected in Friend Partners.



    July 22nd 2015 Update:
    Friend Partner damage has been boosted by 3-4x and their defense is now greater than player characters.
    Seems there's no longer a need for a Hunter defense subclass.

    See my post here for some details on the changes.


    Much of this information is directly translated from the JP swiki.
    I've also added information from my own experimentation and experience.
    Please be aware that changes to the game may render parts of this guide outdated.


    What is a Friend Partner?
    Friend Partners (abbreviated "FP") are bot versions of a player's character, with simple AI.
    You can register your character's Friend Partner at the Visiphone.

    Friend Partners are NOT Support Partners. Support Partners are the tiny AI characters.
    Friend Partners differ from Support Partners in various ways.
    If you want to read about Support Partners, refer to my guide here.

    Thanks for reading. It's a bit of a mess to read, but I hope this helps.
    If I've forgotten anything, I'll add it later.

    You should change that to FP level scales down if the player is lower level than the registered FP's level but it doesn't scale up to someone who is higher level than that FP (feel free to paraphrase cuz I suck at making my point without making sentences way too long )

    Good point. Sorry about that. Thanks for the correction.

    Do the Special Compensation's Loves [Race/Gender] apply only to other party members or can your friend card love himself and be active with shifta/deband

    Accounts with Multiple Characters:.
    - Other characters on the same account can summon the registered FP, but the character that is the FP cannot summon themselves.


    I don't understand this , my main character can summon and give quest to it and change setting or talk with but my second character (on same account) just can only seeing standing, while talk only saying something like cant used me I think and cant even summon it at campship because it not in the list.

    I doubt they can love themselves.

    You're talking about Support Partners.

    I made various corrections, so if you've already read through the entire thing I recommend checking through it again.

    Major changes I remember making:
    - Latents don't affect FPs.
    - I don't think weapon damage affects FPs (eg. a 10 star rare with high base damage won't be any different to a 1 star), only affixes and elemental attribute are reflected.

    They're going to fix partner characters not charging to cast.
    It was fun while it lasted.
