Link Support Device

The Link Support System is an in-battle concept, which automatically applies the status effect when a certain condition meets, introduced in God Eater 2. The Link Support System uses God Arcs as the sources of power which are provided to characters on the field.

Effects and Use
To make use of the LSS, one has to have equipped the Link Support Devices of characters available for selection on the green box selection on the Mission member recruit screen. Link Support Device effects activate under certain conditions. Different Link Support Devices are craftable. The maximum capacity for Link Support Device cost cannot exceed 100.

LSS selected God Arc owners cannot be taken into battle due to their God Arc being used to provide effects to those in combat (as seen in the image).

When active, the Link Support System gives characters on the field certain effects depending on what effect a Link Support Device equipped has such as Full Burst Level 3 after five minutes past or Freeze Element Attack UP after 2 minutes.

Note: Link Support System is a different system from the Power of Blood possessed by the Blood members.

The numbers next to the Link Supports name detail when the effect will be triggered. For example:
 * フルバースト 2 (Full Burst 2) - Has "2" next to its name, this means the effect will trigger after 2 minutes of mission time. It is the same for those with "5" (triggers after 5 minutes) and "10" (triggers after 10 minutes).
 * フルバースト 0,2 (Full Burst 0,2) - has "0,2" next to its name. this means the effect will trigger at the start of the mission and again after 2 minutes of mission time.
 * 捕食時弾丸増 5~10 (Bullet Retrieval 5~10) - Has "5~10" next to its name, this means the effect will trigger after 5 minutes of mission time and will end after 10 minutes, ergo meaning the effect will last for 5 minutes.
