Synergy (Coop)
20 Synergy partners currently live — birthdays, unlock quests, favorite gifts.
Synergy is P5X's bond system with companion NPCs: give the right gifts to raise your bond, unlocking dialogue and perks. The table below lists each partner's liked gifts (official "like" field) — the EXP shown is the BASE point value per gift.
Priority Synergies
Grouped by bond perk — which partner to level up firstHigh priority
Gifting Miyu Sahara boosts Synergy gain even further — raising her early speeds up every other bond.
Unlocking Merope increases the Personas available for fusion — core to the Persona combat system, so prioritize early.
Kotone Montagne makes Tasks more efficient — saving time farming resources for everything else.
Medium priority
Kira Kitazato enhances Ranged Attacks — direct combat power.
Kiyoshi Kurotani unlocks various books — long-term knowledge/skill support.
Yaoling Li teaches Chinese cuisine and unlocks battle items — a double benefit for daily life and combat.
Shun Kano unlocks more cooking recipes — a steady source of recovery items.
Yumi Shiina unlocks more drink recipes — useful recovery utility.
Masaki Ashiya unlocks Tycoon features — a side economy system worth investing in.
Later
Motoha Arai only unlocks new difficulty at the batting cages — a side minigame, no core power impact.
Lufel lets you craft more infiltration items — only needed for infiltration-focused play.
Tomoko Noge unlocks more part-time jobs — extra income, not urgent.
Kayo Tomiyama only unlocks outfits — cosmetic value, no power increase.
Yui shortens crop growth time — a minor farming convenience, safe to leave for later.
Ayaka Sakai adds performance/music knowledge — a side activity, low priority.
Grouping is based on each partner's official bond perk. Reference: Community tier discussion also names 6 other confidants (e.g. Runa Dogenzaka, Manaka Nagao, Mio Natsukawa) not yet present in our official data set — they are not included here.
