Resonance increases the pin ATK of a represented brand by 20%, which is the equivalent of being the #3 brand in an area. This is a boost that is separate from trend and SOS modifiers. For example, a brand that is #1 one in an area will have pin ATK multiplied by 2.0, then by 1.2, granting a pin ATK of 240% of the original. Due to rounding, the damage output may be a few HP less than expected, but is usually only -1 HP for most pins.

There are thirteen Resonance psychs, one for each brand.

AnalysisEdit

Most Resonance pins are only available during the postgame, though some are available on week 3 such as Pegaso. Since Resonance increases pin ATK and not efficiency, few Resonance pins are worth the slot. These pins are generally from brands that feature high pin ATK:

• Pegaso is worthwhile because it raises Lightning Rook from 104 to 124 and Excalibur from 170 to 204.

• Wild Boar raises Dope Line from 225 to 270. This translates to 450 extra damage on normal difficulty with a 5X puck.

• Dragon Couture raises One Grain, Infinite Promise from 101 to 121 and Blue Blood Burns Blue from 111 to 133. It is available on W3D7 if extra firepower is desired, but as those pins are so powerful already, it is virtually overkill.
