Editing Partner characters (section)

===Example Cases===

'''<u>Case 1:</u>'''

''A Friend Character of Level 1, equipped with an Ice [[Steel Hearts I]], is invited into the party of a Level 70 player:''

Weapons are not scaled upwards, so nothing changes.

'''<u>Case 2:</u>'''

''A Friend Character of Level 120, equipped with an Ice [[Steel Hearts IV]], is invited into the party of a Level 70 player:''

The Friend Character's [[Steel Hearts IV]] is replaced with a generic brand of the same category with a sufficient level, in this case, the GRM produced [[Huge Cutter]]. The [[Huge Cutter]] retains the same element, element percentage, and equipped Photon Arts as the [[Steel Hearts IV]].

'''<u>Case 3:</u>'''

''A Friend Character of Level 130, equipped with an Ice [[Zero Saber]], is invited into the party of a Level 70 player:''

The Friend Character's [[Zero Saber]] is replaced with a generic brand of the same category with a sufficient level, in this case, the GRM produced [[Crimson]]. Since the Crimson is fire-locked, their saber is now Fire instead of Ice, with the same Photon Arts equipped as before.

'''<u>Case 4:</u>''' 

''A Friend Character of Level 120, equipped with an unsealed Ice [[Kokuintou Hozuki]], extended to have the special effect Drain Lv5, is invited into the party of a Level 70 player:''

The Friend Character's [[Kokuintou Hozuki]] is replaced with a generic brand of the same category with a sufficient level, in this case, the GRM produced [[Huge Cutter]]. The [[Huge Cutter]] retains the same element, element percentage, and equipped Photon Arts as the [[Kokuintou Hozuki]]. Since the [[Kokuintou Hozuki]] has been extended with a Drain effect, the [[Huge Cutter]], which normally does not have any special effects, gains Drain. [[Huge Cutter]]'s special effect level only goes up to Lv1, thus it gains Drain Lv1. Note that the [[Huge Cutter]] normally cannot gain Drain via extending, but Friend Characters does not have such weaknesses.

'''<u>Case 5:</u>'''

''A Friend Character of Level 120, equipped with an unsealed Ice [[Kokuintou Hozuki]], extended to have the special effect Drain Lv5, is invited to the party of a Level 90 player:''

The [[Kokuintou Hozuki]] is not replaced, as a Level 90 character is able to equip it. However, it loses the effects gained from Unsealing. Its ATK is lowered from 1259 to 969, and its Drain Lv5 is lowered to Drain Lv1, which is what it would have had without unsealing.

<u>'''Shield-Weaves and Blasts'''</u>
Note that, for cases 2 to 5, if the Friend Character, who is downgraded to Lv70, is originally equipped with a Lv100 [[Shield-weaves|Shield-weave]], that Shield-weave will be downgraded. And if it's equipped with a Blast Module, they will not be able to access that Blast, even if the Blast Module is only B-rank (thus a Lv10 requirement).
