Anime Zero Synergies: All 6 Weapon Pairs and Bonuses

By Mira Voss · Updated October 6, 2026

Synergies arrived in the October 2 performance patch. They are free power: you already carry two weapons, and the right pair adds a bonus on top.

How to activate a synergy

Put both weapons of a pair into your two weapon slots. That is all. There is no menu to unlock; the bonus applies while both are equipped. Any two weapons that are not an official pair still get +5% damage, so an empty slot is always a loss.

All six pairs

The patch notes use character names; we added the in-game weapon titles. Paramita Pyre (Hu Tao) came out after these notes and has no published partner.

Which pair to use

• Best damage: Cursed King + Immortal Sovereign. Also the best raid pair, thanks to Cursed King’s invincibility frames.
• Best for learning Nightmare: Rubber Man + Divine Emperor. +15% max health turns two weak-ish weapons into a forgiving pair.
• Best all-rounder you can guarantee: Dragon Eclipse + Lights of Divinity. Both are Mythic, so the 175-spin pity covers each.
• Starter: Twisted Agony + King’s Gambit, because King’s Gambit is the weapon most accounts start with.
• Hu Tao: pair her with whatever Mythic you like; the generic +5% applies.

Lights of Divinity is the flexible slot

Saber’s weapon is the only one with two official partners (Cataclysm and Dragon Eclipse). If you are unsure what to put in your second slot, it fits more mains than any other weapon. That is why it ranks A on our tier list despite average damage of its own.

Combine synergy with the swap bonus

Swapping with T gives the weapon you switch to +20% damage for 4 seconds. That is separate from synergy and stacks with it. A good rhythm: use one weapon’s skills, swap, and fire the other’s burst inside the window.

Rarities, odds and evolution items for every weapon are on the weapon database.
