The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Strong Bond Achievements + Grind link Exp Guide

Introducción

Hay 12 strong bond achievements = 12 characters to focus on. Each character will need to meet two criteria for the final bonding event. On the first playthrough, it is possible to get a maximum of 9 fuera de 12.

Grind link exp. (Neithardt would be proud)

The easiest place to get quick wins in battles = link exp(+3 Rean’s link partner and +1 other party members including «apoyo») is the 1st floor of the Old Schoolhouse. Just run through all the enemies on the way from the elevator to the depths and back. Monsters respawn after re-enter map.

The best time to grinding is the night of 10/23, after all festival tickets have been spent. Since you will have +1 party member Emma. This will allow you to farm link exp with 6 fuera de 10 characters at the same time.

Recommended equip: Megalith(charge CP overtime) master quartz lvl 5 and Force(+25 CP per kill) master quartz lvl 5. Also a good addition would be a gladiator belt or headband.

Sostener «Turbo mode» and spam «Break Craft» each battle. It will also give you an achievement for them in no time.

Don’t forget to change Rean’s link partner when needed! Also periodically save your progress.
