The concept of BOB is quite simple. The longer 2 allies fight alongside each other, the greater the bonds that forms between them. As this bond continues to grow, so too does the skill of both allies when they are fighting side by side. In game terms, whenever an enemy is killed by one ally, and the other ally landed at least one blow on them, if the 2 allies were near each other when the enemy died, BOB points are earned between the 2. Once certain tiers of points are achieved, specific abilities will be unlocked so that while the 2 allies fight near each other, they will be stronger.
For example, let's say that Aramus and Clopon are involved in a fight with a few enemies. Now, let's imagine that right away, Aramus kills off one of the enemies. Since Clopon never got a chance to land a blow on said enemy, no BOB point would have been earned. Now, let's say that Aramus AND Clopon both landed blows on the next enemy, and when Aramus landed the final killing blow, Clopon was within range of it. At this point, they would gain at the very least, 2 BOB points. Here are some other ways to gain BOB points:
- Successfully performing Unison Abilities (i.e. Whirlwind Heal)
- Being alive at the end of a boss fight. In this example, if Aramus, Clopon, and Challseus were alive at the end of a boss fight, Aramus would gain 10 BOB points with both of them.
- Successfully completing some quest with a party member.
Finally, each BOB skill comes in 3 tiers:
- Tier 1 - 100 BOB Points
- Tier 2 - 200 BOB Points
- Tier 3 - 300 BOB Points
