Magical Battle Arena NEXT/Synchro Actions
Overview
Synchro Actions are Magical Battle Arena NEXT's assist system. You get to pick a total of 4 Synchro Actions during character selection. They function differently depending on the mode.
In Single battles (1v1), using a Synchro Action calls for the partner to use the assist for the player. For instance, using Combination Combo at the end of an Attack chain will make the chosen partner character use their Combination Combo, letting the player follow up.
In Team battles (2v2), using a Synchro Action makes the player character use it for their partner. In this case, the player can use Combination Combo when their partner finishes an Attack chain. The player character will then reposition quickly in order for the assist to land. If done properly, their partner will then be able to keep their own combo going.
