SYNCHRO-ATTACK FAQs:

1) What are Synchro-Attacks?
- These are attacks that require 2 or more mechs/characters to execute.

2) Who can use Synchro-Attacks?
- Certain pilots in certain units can activate and execute them.

3) Where can we find Synchro-Attacks?
- In a mech's weapons listing, duh.

4) How do you execute Synchro-Attacks?
- For one thing, the participating pilots/mechs should be deployed in the map.
 To activate the synchro-attacks, however, they need to be either a) IN THE
 SAME SQUAD, or b) IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME SQUAD, THEY SHOULD BE CLOSE
 TO EACH OTHER (NOT TO FAR IN DISTANCE).

5) Is there any way to upgrade Synchro-Attacks?
- Yes, but indirectly. You can do this by upgrading the weapon power of the
 mechs involved. For example, if you want to strengthen Goldion Hammer, you
 must upgrade the weapon power of GaoGaiGar and/or Goldimarg. To upgrade
 a Synchro-Attack fully, you must fully upgrade both mechs's wepaons fully.

6) Do spent resources to execute a Synchro-Attack affect both mechs?
- Yes. If the synchro-attack drains 70 EN, both participating units deplete 70
 EN. If one of the units have insufficient EN or morale, then the synchro
 attack will be disabled until the requirements are met.

7) Is there a master list of all the synchro-attacks?
- No. They will be listed once the mechs are deployed in the map.

8) Would executing a synchro-attack end the turn of the other unit?
- No, unless they are in the same squad. A perfect example is Gaiking and
 Daiku Maryu. They can never be in the same squad since Daiku Maryu is a
 mothership. If you make Gaiking execute the Fire Car Cutter and thus ending
 its turn, Daiku Maryu can use it, provided that both their EN requirements
 are met and that their range requirements is met (you can move anyway).

9) Can synchro-attacks be executed by all participating units?
- Not all. Example, GaoGaiGar can execute the Goldion Hammer, but Goldimarg
 can't. Jeeg can execute the Mach Drill, Bigshooter can't. However, both Yuu
 and Hime can execute the Chakra Extension, same thing for Gaiking and Daiku
 Maryu for executing the Fire Car Cutter.
