How to Use Synergy Attacks in Marvel Alliance 3: The Black Hand

Synergy Attacks return in Marvel Alliance 3: The Black Order and like the two previous games in the series you will have to work as a team coordinating attacks during co-op battles in order to do the most damage with them. This 'How to Use Synergy Attacks' page will tell you everything you need to know about them.

Synergy Attacks are an important part of Marvel Alliance 3: The Black Orders's core gameplay. They are basically attacks that are performed when character abilities (traits) interact, this happens when two characters use their abilities at the same time. These attacks use the blue part of the meter around your character’s portrait which is called 'EP'.

Single-Player Synergy Attacks

To execute the single-player version of a Synergy Attack you first need to hold down ZR to be taken to a quick menu. Here you will be able to view all 4 of your character's abilities and execute the attack by pressing the right face button (A, B, Y, X) while still holding ZR. Once you do this the game will automatically choose whichever hero you are next to and combine the attack with them accordingly.

Co-Op Synergy Attacks

To execute a Synergy Attack in co-op you must be standing next to whichever player you would like to use synergy with and make sure that you both activate your abilities at the same time. This will mean you will need to communicate with other players beforehand to coordinate your Synergy Attacks.
