How to Activate Synergies

Step 1: Choose Your Focus

Decide which synergy you want to build around:

• Augment synergies for damage
• Perk synergies for abilities
• Bonus synergies for utility

Step 2: Collect Required Items

You need specific items for each synergy:

• Base items (2-3 required)
• Superior item (1 required)
• Matching augment or perk

Step 3: Equip Together

All components must be equipped together for the synergy to activate.

Step 4: Use Strategically

Synergies are powerful but require strategy:

• Time your abilities
• Position correctly
• Manage resources

Tips for Synergies

1. Plan Ahead

Know which synergy you want before you start collecting items.

2. Prioritize Core Trigger

Pick the augment or perk you want first, then hunt matching items.

3. Don’t Spread Too Thin

Focus on one main synergy rather than trying to activate multiple.

4. Use Stat Viewer

Check your stats to see how synergies affect your build.

5. Experiment

Try different combinations to find what works for you.

Common Mistakes

Collecting Random Items

Don’t pick up items randomly. Focus on items that match your desired synergy.

Ignoring Superior Items

Superior items are required for synergies. Don’t skip them.

Spreading Too Thin

Focus on one synergy at a time for maximum effectiveness.

Not Planning Ahead

Know which synergy you want before you start collecting.
