The combat link system (戦術リンク) is a mechanic introduced as a function of the ARCUS orbment in Trails of Cold Steel.

Description[]

See also: Unbalancing in Cold Steel I and II and Weapon types.

Combat links allow two characters to form a link in battle, providing various benefits. While linked, either character can unbalance enemies with attacks or crafts, due to their weapon type or a critical hit. Unbalancing allows the character's link partner to follow up with an attack of their own, or use more advanced combination attacks. Combat links also grant various bonuses to each partner, such as healing after taking a hit or taking an attack in place of the other. Note that unbalancing or link abilities won't activate if the link partner is unable to act due to status effects.

Links can be preset from the Tactics menu, with combat starting with the set links. Link partners can also be freely switched on a party member's turn, with the other members switching links appropriately if they were all linked. Switching a party member with a support member will automatically link them with the previous member's partner. If a character is knocked out, the link with their partner will be broken and must be re-established manually upon revival. Being ambushed by the enemy breaks all links at the start of the battle. The original party configuration and combat links will be restored following the battle. Starting in Trails of Cold Steel III, links will be remembered and reestablished even when a character is K.O.ed and revived.

Link Level[]

The strength of a link is indicated by a link level (リンクLV), which increases through its own experience points called link EXP (リンク経験). Higher link levels unlock more abilities and make them more likely to activate.

In Cold Steel, link levels above 2 won't be available until Chapter 3: "Beyond the Railways". In Cold Steel II, Cold Steel IV and Reverie, link levels above 5 become available. In Cold Steel II, link level 7 is only available after starting the Finale: "Forward, Relentlessly".

Level Cold Steel Cold Steel II Cold Steel III Cold Steel IV and Reverie

1 0 1000 0 1000 0 800 0 400

6 6000 1500 4000 1400
7 7500 5400

Link EXP[]

Link EXP is gained through battles. All pairs linked at the end of a battle gain a certain amount of link EXP, and all other possible pairs of active and support members gain a smaller amount.

Game EXP for linked pairs EXP for other pairs
Cold Steel I and II 3 1
Cold Steel III 15 10
Cold Steel IV 10 5
Reverie 50 15

Additionally, in Trails of Cold Steel I and II link EXP between Rean and another character can be gained through bonding events, playing Blade, and special items. In Trails of Cold Steel II only, completing a Trial Chest challenge awards 500 link EXP to all pairs of participants of the challenge, as well as unlocking Overdrive between them; in the Reverie Corridor, the link EXP gains per battle are tripled.

Link Attacks[]

When unbalancing an enemy, a choice of link attacks can be used. After Rush is acquired, using Assist will earn one Brave Point, which can be stored up to 3 (5 when Burst is acquired, 7 in Cold Steel IV, and 8 in Reverie) to use other link attacks and Brave Orders.

If a battle ends with the use of a link attack, the end screen will feature a different quote from the link partners (or the whole team if Burst was used).

Link Abilities[]

In addition to link attacks, each character has a set of abilities unlocked with each link level. When two characters are linked, the abilities up to their link's level can be activated. Abilities are varied in both activation conditions and effects, thought some are common between several or all characters.
