A temtem pair with a synergy attack

Synergy in Temtem: How does it work?

A look into synergy techniques and type matching.
This article is over 4 years old and may contain outdated information

One of the core game mechanics in Temtem is 2v2 battles, which adds a lot more strategy than if it were a typical 1v1, and for some temtems, who you send out with them can make a difference in the power of their techniques. When a temtem’s technique has higher damage or greater effect due to the other temtem that is sent out with it: that is called Synergy

Type Matching

Synergy is created when a temtem with a certain synergy technique being sent out alongside a temtem of a certain type. This type can just as often be the same type as the attack, as it can be a different type. Note that it’s not enough for a temtem to know an attack of that type, it must be the type of the actual temtem itself.

Synergy Techniques

You can distinguish a technique that has a synergy option from the others by the plus sign on the top left corner of the technique name. If you have already type matched, the plus sign will be highlighted.
