Among the new mechanics Inazuma Eleven fans can tackle in Victory Road, very few are as peculiar as its Bond Link feature, which allows you to use your player’s connections to fully awaken the true power of the tiki taka.
But how exactly does the mechanic work? And how can you maximize its effects? Here’s a full overview of how the Bond Link system works in Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Bond Link Guide
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road‘s Bond Link system allows you to increase the Bond Power generated from passes between players by connecting them in your Bond Link Board. Upon performing a shot, your accumulated Bond Power will then add a welcome percentage to its overall AT (based on the shooter’s stats and SP Ability). You can accumulate a maximum of 30% power and check out your total via the tab located below your Hyper Energy gauge.
After linking your chosen players, you can also further increase their Bond Power gain to 3% by adding pictures of them together to the board, which will turn their Bond Lines golden. Keep in mind that you can only place seven Bond Lines per board, with each being able to connect a maximum of two players. For those unsure about how to take pictures, you can do so by pressing the right directional button at any time during, before, or after a match. You can also do so while at Kizuna Station or in the Story Mode by opening the camera.
How To Build The Perfect Bond Link Board In Victory Road
True to the above, those looking to maximize their gains should always update their boards and assign players based on their preferred playstyles and positions. For example, I like to link my FWs and wide MFs to fit my usual formations (3-6-1 Hexa, 4-4-2 Diamond, and 5-4-1 Double Volante) while having my main striker connect to all to boost their options. To recap, here are the best ways to maximize your Bond Links and Bond Power generation in Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road:
- Always link your most participative players, but don’t go overboard
- Add pictures featuring your chosen players (Make sure to have at least three golden Bond Lines for an easy-to-trigger boost).
- Make your main stars the nucleus to boost their passing options and maximize their scoring capabilities.
