Unfortunately, since a large amount of [[Weapons]], especially ones of the highest rarity, are locked behind [[Infinity Missions]], learning how to use it effectively is all but inevitable. So, here we are!

For Dropping, obviously '''Drop Rate +''' is an absolute must. Enemies with [[Aura of power]] also has a significantly higher drop rate (like, several times higher), therefore '''Boost Enemy Rate x''' is also a must.

'''Enemy HPx''', '''Enemy ACCx''', and '''Enemy ATK TECx''' can be good, but the first two Levels all make the enemies more difficult, which makes it more difficult to obtain the adequate Synthesis Points to Synthesis their missions.

However, These effects also don't appear on [[Mission Discs]], which makes them incredibly difficult to obtain without [[Downloadable content]]: the only way to spawn these effects is to obtain it randomly from synthesizing missions with a total of 7 or more different effects. Even after obtaining them, it's a massive pain to actually isolate them individually in order to apply them to missions.

'''Weapon Attribute Rate +, Armor Attribute Rate +''' provides manipulation of the Drops' elements, which is quite useful. Apply when needed.

This trait of IMs is a double edged sword. On one hand, we can't RNG abuse two material missions to produce the mission we want. Instead, we have to produce a large number of missions, which takes far more effort than otherwise. On the other hand, we can use it to produce multiple copies of the same mission, which is very useful for special effect purposes.

Anyway, if you ever wind up with a mission you don't want, [[How to Infinity Mission, Basically#Break in the case of RNG screw|Break in the case of RNG screw]].

Synthesis Points severely prolongs the Synthesis process, and makes <u>each mention of '''Mission Synthesis''' in the following steps represent anywhere between 1 to 4 Infinity-Difficulty run of '''each''' of the two component missions</u>. However, there isn't anything worth mentioning beyond ''"Just do the highest difficulty you can"''. There's no other way to earn points faster, and the '''Code Level''' is largely outside of player control, due to many of its contributing factors being RNG-based. Which means that we can't really manipulate the '''Synthesis Points''' requirements either.

In order to not make otherwise pointless Infinity runs, '''<big>save before conducting any synthesis.</big>''' If the results are bad, reload the game and move onto the fail cases.


Also, since the missions we need to synthesize is dependent on the results we get, it's not recommended to run a mission a dozen times for a large amount of synthesis points for synthesizing-en-masse: it's very possible that the mission winds up becoming useless and the points are wasted.

* You can get 4 effects on a mission using only 3 2-effect missions as well, but it's more difficult to perform RNG-wise.

=== Putting 5 Special Effects on a Mission ===
=== Putting 5 Special Effects on a Mission ===
To put 5 special effects onto a mission, we need a total of 8 different effects on the two material missions. In other words, we need two missions with 4 special effects.
Follow the [[How to Infinity Mission, Basically#Putting 4 Special Effects on a Mission|Putting 4 Special Effects on a Mission]] section twice, and obtain 2 missions with 4 special effects.
At this point you should have the following missions:
4 missions with 2 special effects each (the effects are all different).
4 missions with 3 special effects each (by mix-matching the 4 2-effect missions).
2 missions with 4 special effects each (the effects are all different).
Synthesize the two missions with 4 special effects with each other: this gives us a chance of having a mission with all 5 effects we want.
Note that, because we are working with 8 effects, an lv1 special effect will be added to the effect pool, which can mess up our final result. In other words, more chances for RNG to fuck you over! Thanks SEGA!
Also, ABSOLUTELY no duplicates are allowed: if there's an extra duplicate effect (i.e. a mission with 5 effects + a mission with 4 effects), there will be TWO lv1 special effects added to the effect pool, which drastically affects our RNG. If there's one duplicate effects within the 4 effects, we will not be able to attach a 5th effect onto the mission.
If the result mission does not have all the effects we want, you need to synthesize another pair of 4-effect missions and try again.

Effectively impossible to do.

There's literally no way to delibrately improve this, as the stat is invisible in-game and effectively untestable.

''Read More: [[Infinity Missions#Monster Ranks|Monster Ranks]]''
Enemy patterns and spawns are associated with Monster Ranks. This is quite important as, even with the right Table, it's possible for an enemy to never spawn without the right monster rank.
Monster Rank can be determined while running an Infinity Mission, by taking notes of its enemy spawns and correlating it with the Monster Rank patterns. Note that Monster Ranks are individual to each block.
When synthesizing, monster ranks are averaged, and then has a chance of randomly receiving a -1 or a +1. This process is very similar to Enemy Levels, and the process of raising it is similar to Enemy Levels are well: get two missions with the same attributes, mash them at each other until the RNG smiles upon you.
