Scarlet Nexus uses the Struggle Arms System (SAS), which has a wide array of abilities you can use. Your SAS powers will be weak at first, but your powers will increase as you level it up. Bonds in Scarlet Nexus are relations you have with your party members. Both of these are interlinked in a sort of manner. This Scarlet Nexus guide will include all the details on how you can level up SAS powers and Bonds in the game.
How to Level Up SAS Powers & Bonds in Scarlet Nexus
To increase your SAS powers, you will have to increase the bonds you have with your teammates. Whichever ability is associated with the character will be the one that levels up when you increase your bond. You can do multiple things to increase your bond. The first way is to give them gifts. Characters will like a certain type of gift which you can easily find out.
You can obtain gifts by picking them up in random areas of the game, completing side quests, or exchanging items at Satori’s shop. At the shop, you can check which gift is acceptable by which character. You can see a heart icon next to their face if they would like the gift or not. If the face has a checkmark icon next to it, this will mean that you have already given them that gift.
You can also reply to their Brain Messages whenever they send you one to increase the bond. You can use their abilities in combat, which will also increase your bond with them. After your bond increases a little bit, you can start Bond Episodes with your teammates at the Hideout. At first, these will be small cutscene but will later turn into missions for you to complete. The more their bond increases, the more your SAS power levels up. In the end, you will also have Team Bond Episodes depending on your Team Bond Level.
