Link Skills

From A3! Wiki

Link Skills (リンクスキル)can help increase the overall points in your team which is vital for events. Skills are activated when the right characters are in your team and can be stacked with other skills that boost the same attribute. The card's rarity does not matter and will still trigger the skill. A maximum of three Link Skills will take effect at any given time.

Part 1 link skills were updated as each main story and rookie in Part 2 was released. These link skills can be activated by all the cards of the respective characters in the game.

Part 2 link skills were added in Oct 2018, and activate for cards released in Year 2 (Card List No. 427 - onwards / from The Wonderful Charlatan of Oz onwards). Some of these are updated versions of existing link skills, denoted by a '2' at the end of the skill name. The Part 1 versions of these link skills are still valid, but their effect is superseded by the Part 2 skills.

On Nov 1, 2019, two new link skills were added: "Tomorrow for sure, I will be reborn in another world" (Co) and "Triangle Smuggling Squad" (Ac).

Part 3 link skills were added on Oct 28, 2020, as well as "Karate Spirits" (Ac) for Part 2. They activate for cards released in Year 3 (Card List No. 1049 - onwards / from Stray Devil Blues onwards)

Link Skills for the EN VERSION can be found on the EN Version Link Skills page!

Optimal Link Skills

The images below show the optimal combination of link skills for the activated link skill percentages. When teambuilding, it can be more effective to look at your own cards and build a team with a different set of link skills than used here. These guides can be very useful though to have a quick effective teambuild.

To use them, find the friend support you would want to use on the left (often the event scout cards) and then look at the right attribute for the optimal link skill combination. If a cell is split in two, the upper half shows optimal link skills with only Act 1 cards. The character combination in the lower half of a cell will need Act 2 cards for all the characters, for a Part 2 link skill to activate. If a card is an Act 2 card, it is indicated on the card info page in-game.
