Guides › The break bar: staggering enemies and why it matters
What team is best for Holo Battle Interlink?
Holo Battle Interlink rewards teams that mix damage dealers with break-focused members, alongside healer and support roles.
Your damage dealers do very little until someone empties the enemy's break shield, so the breaker is not optional. Once the break lands, the enemy is stunned and takes greatly increased damage, given as 250% for bosses. That is the largest single damage multiplier in the game, and the whole team should be built to reach it and then spend it.
So think of the four roles as one sequence. Break-focused members open the window. Damage dealers cash it in. The healer and support keep the team standing long enough to do that again when the break bar refills.
Aniimo that cover more than one role
Bouldus is an Earth support that also works as a breaker, which lets one slot cover two jobs and frees room for another damage dealer.
Scorchhowl's big hit causes a large break and restores energy, and it returns some EP on the field, so it feeds the rest of the team while doing the breaking.
Turbo raises party break efficiency by 30% when it uses Nimbus Burst after activating Shrouded in Mist. That speeds up every breaker on the team, not only Turbo.
On the damage side, Pawnie's Pursuit trait grants up to 30% bonus damage against enemies in the BREAK state or under crowd control. It stacks its value on top of the window your breakers create, which makes it a natural fit for this kind of team.
When not to break everything
Some fights punish a full break. In the Magmarex phase, the break bar should not be fully emptied, so a team that can only hit hard on breakers needs someone who can hold back there.
Not settled: The game rewards a mix of break, damage, healer and support roles, but it does not single out one fixed lineup as the best Holo Battle Interlink team. The Aniimo above are strong fits for those roles. They are not a required roster.
