Slightly increases synergy when other party members use a synergy ability during battle.
Description (inaccurate to what the materia actually does)
Synergy support materia is a Complete Materia in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Contrary to what it says in the materia description, it gives a free synergy charge to the ally who was not part of the synergy ability used, rather then giving free synergy charges to the holder.
Obtained[]
Synergy support materia can be bought from Chadley's Materia Support in Gongaga Region for 40 data points.
Use[]
Synergy support materia adds a synergy charge to the ally who was not part of the synergy ability that the materia holder performed. E.g. for a party of Cloud, Tifa, and Barret, with Cloud equipping the synergy support materia, performing a Cloud & Tifa synergy ability gives a free synergy charge to Barret, performing a Cloud & Barret synergy ability gives a free synergy charge to Tifa, and Tifa & Barret synergy ability gives no one free synergy charges. The party thus needs to have three members for the synergy support materia to have any effect.
Equipping the synergy support materia is a way of giving a character an additional synergy charge without needing to expend any ATB charges. In cases where players will rely often on synergy abilities, or where a party member will be acting less often, such as if they are mainly making use of Synergy Materia and
Auto-Unique Ability Materia, this can be a good way to get more abilities used. Synergy support materia is also a way to reduce players' need to micromanage their party.
