This guide breaks down every Synergy in Temtem: Swarm and how to unlock them, what Gear you need, and how to make them evolve.
To get a Synergy Technique, max out the base move in one run, then equip it with its matching Gear in another. Once unlocked, you can view your Synergies anytime by pressing G on your keyboard or pressing the right stick on your controller.

Smash CTRL+F and search for the exact Technique, Gear, or combo you need. No need to scroll like a caveman. 🔍

Note: This guide is based on Patch v0.7.3, so things might shift in future updates.

Synergies are enhanced forms of base Techniques. When you level a Technique to its maximum (indicated by a star) and equip the paired Gear, the move transforms into a more powerful Synergy Technique during battle.
