This article describes Partner Machinery as known in Network Mode. For information more specific to Story and Extra Modes, see Partner Machinery (Offline).

Description

Partner Machineries, often abbreviated as "PMs", are floating pet robots, and can be found in the player's room. In Network Mode players are able to choose and change their PM's names. A PM's Photon Fortune is equal to that of Female CAST characters.

PMs have several functions, including:

  • Item Storage (~300 items).
  • Item synthesis.
  • Engaging in combat as an NPC (fourth-stage only).
  • Shopkeeper.

Statistics

PMs have specific statistics, as well:

Stat Name Effect
Striking Used in synthesizing Striking weapons.
Ranged Used in synthesizing Ranged weapons.
TECH Used in synthesizing TECHNIC weapons.
Armor Used in synthesizing Line Shields.
Production Level The sum of the four stats above, caps at 100.
PM evolution occurs as this rises.
Battle Stat (B St.) A PM's efficiency in combat, caps at 100.
Apparently only affects battle stats.

B St.

B St. is raised through the completion of missions with the Partner Machinery in the team. The mission's length and difficulty do not matter - the only determining factor is the rank achieved at the end of a mission:

Completion Rank  % of a B St. level raised
S 24%
A ~15%
B ~10%
C ~5%

Production Level and components

Striking, Ranged, TECH and Armor (summing to complete the "Production Level" stat) is raised through the use of the "Give Item" option available by speaking to your Partner Machinery. This process of feeding (called that due to the PM commenting how the item tasted) is subject to some simple constraints:

  • If you feed a PM one item, its "fed" count raises by 1.
  • Once a PM's "fed" count reaches 100 it becomes "full" and cannot be fed.
  • If a PM has not been fed for 12 hours ("full" or not), its "fed" count resets to 0.

Partner Machinery will not accept Synthesis boards, Grinders and Presents.

When the Production Level reaches a designated point, the PM will "evolve" into a new form that varies according to the individual statistics that contribute to the Production Level. These distinct PM evolutions will become proficient at certain forms of Item synthesis: Striking, Ranged or TECHNIC weapons, and these given specializations will receive an increase in the success rate of that type of synthesis. No Partner Machinery model can specialize in the production of Line Shields.

The item PM Device ZERO is used to reset a Partner Machinery: All of its statistics regress to 0 and it reverts to the model GH-001. However, items held in its storage, inserted Synthesis boards and any Item synthesis that has yet to complete will remain untouched.

Partner Machinery in Combat

When PMs evolve to their fourth stage, they will become usable in battle and will grant their owner their own Partner Card, allowing them to be added to the party as with regular NPCs.

Battle-usable evolutions have associated combat behaviour and equipment. Not much is known about their combat stats, other than that they are dependent on the PM's model, B St., and level. Their level is 10 higher than their owner at time of being added to the party. A Partner Machinery's Production Level and its components (Striking, Ranged, TECH, Armor) do not have any effect in battle.

As with all NPCs, only a party leader can call their battle-usable Partner Machinery into a party. Similarly, the PM is capable of taking damage, being incapacitated and getting up. They affect experience gain in combat in the same way ordinary players and NPCs do. When in a party, PMs have the Photon Fortune of a female CAST, though this apparently has no effect.

Evolution Syn. Trend Combat Behavior In-game Description Weapons and Photon Arts
GH-410 Striking Near owner Always stays near owner, good with 2-handed swords. Sword (Hanzo with Spinning Break), Twin Saber (Sharp Twins with Assault Crush), Wand (Wandra with Resta)

GH-430 Firearms With group Team player who enjoys working with her owner. Rifle (Burst with Frozen Shot), Handgun (Beamgun with Frozen Hit), Wand (Septara with Resta)
GH-440 Firearms Calculating Uses a shotgun to attack enemies with wild abandon. Shotgun (Shigga Boma with Barata Inga), Twin Handgun (Evil Twins with Twin Plasma), Wand (Canara with Resta)

Combat behavior

Calculating
*Based on the GH-440, the PM will 'take aim' at a target and attack after a short delay. It is
 unclear whether this 'aiming' increases accuracy or not, or whether the time taken is reduced
 as the PM levels.
Cover fire
*Usually stays with owner, but heals itself.

~Thanks to Lunezda for adding this data on the GH-442.

Front lines
*Based on the GH-422, the PM will remain by the owners side until enemies approach, however once
in striking range the PM will continue to fight until all enemys within its range are destroyed.
Independent
*According to my experiences with a GH-420, The PM will run off on its own if an enemy is within
 its sight range. It will also attack enemies if the enemy attacks her..

~Thanks to Lunatari (Xbox 360) and Mia (Xbox 360) for spotting this out with there GH-420 (Rabbit! and -) ^_^

Near owner
*According to my experiences with a GH-410, the PM will stay by your side until a enemy is
within its striking distance. Great for shielding because if the enemy approaches you, your PM
will fight it.
Support
*According to my experience with a GH-450, It will support the party by casting Jellen numerous
 times.It will also cast resta for the master unlike other NPC.

~Thanks to Tahldon (Xbox 360) for letting me view his GH-450 (Hina Ichigo) ^_^

With group
*According to my experiences with a GH-430, "with group" means it fights the same monster as you
do (mainly you can just hit the monster once and it will chase after it) and or your alternate
NPC (2nd NPC if added)

~Thanks to Zerdo4 (Xbox 360) for letting me view his GH-410 (Zerda2) ^_^

Fourth-Stage Alternate PMs

There are currently 18 PM evolutions, linked to 'PM Evolution Devices'. For example, using a 'PM 411 Device' on a GH410 will evolve the PM into the corresponding evolution. Details about GH305~7 and GH461~5 are still unclear. To evolve, just simply feed the item to your PM. There are some restrictions, however. A PM cannot evolve out of its model line, say from a 430 to a 451. It must also be at the required level, so skipping to a 4xx early is out of the question. You can, however, move freely within a model line. For example, say a player changes their 410 to a 412, but doesn't like it for some reason. Provided they're willing to shell out 50k each for the items, they can change it within the 41x line as much as they want.

Both the JP and US/EU versions of the game has the Partner Machine Evolution Kits available. But only for the 4x1 (411,421,431,441,451), 4x2 (412,422,432,442,452), 4x3, and 4x4 types. No information on the 46x types yet.

The New PMs change in appearance and weapon, some featuring S rank weapons as well! Great for those with an acquired taste for expensive items; others will just get plain jealous.

The 4x2 and 4x4 series of PMs actually carry SUV weapons! Each one features an extra slot, but only certain few will get the SUV, while the 4x1 series(411,421,431,441,451), for example, will get HP regeneration (Me/HP Restore).

  1. ↑ The Combat Behavior for the GH-440 and GH-450 differs between the PM's status description and the PM Evolution Device's description.
  2. ↑ The GH-4x0 and GH-4x3 series are equipped with either a Mega / Stamina or no extra unit. The GH-4x0 and GH-4x3 series have no SUVs, no aura effects, no auto recovery and NPCs ignore PP. This eliminates every extra unit except Mega / Stamina.
  3. ↑ The GH-434's Blackbull is linked to an unreleased rifle bullet which causes stun.
