An '''EX role'''<ref>Formatted as "EX role" in-game. ''"An ''EX role'' is another role hidden within a sync pair."''</ref> (Japanese: '''we'll get to that''') is an additional role that a [[sync pair]] can achieve in {{g|Masters EX}}. Introduced in version 2.36.0, unlocking a sync pair's EX role will raise the stats and strengthen the effects of a sync pair's sync move after that sync pair has been raised to {{6EX}}.


Sync pairs normally have one of five possible roles: Strike, Support, Tech, Sprint, or Field. A pair's EX role will also be one of these five, but will differ from the pair's original role. The EX role of a given sync pair is pre-determined, meaning the player cannot freely select which role to have as a pair's EX role.
Not all sync pairs have EX roles. This feature is currently limited to 5★ sync pairs, though like 6★ EX, this may be expanded to 3★ and 4★ sync pairs in the future. EX roles are planned to be given to additional sync pairs in the future.

To unlock an EX role, a sync pair must use a Roll Cake item matching the EX role. For example, [[File:VSBlue Champion Masters.png|32px|link=]][[File:MastersIcon145.png|32px|link=]]{{DL|Blue (Masters)|Zapdos|Blue (Champion) & Zapdos}} would need to use a [[File:Masters Strike Roll Cake.png|32px|link=]] Strike Roll Cake to unlock their [[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] Special Strike EX role.
To perform the 6★ EX upgrade, the target sync pair must increase their potential using [[List of items (Masters)#Potential and move level items|5★ Power-Ups]] ×20. Players will then be able to use 50 [[List of items (Masters)#Potential and move level items|Champion Spirits]] (or [[List of items (Masters)#Potential and move level items|Legendary Spirits]] for [[legendary event|Legendary Adventures]] sync pairs). For sync pairs who start at a potential below 5★, their potential must first be upgraded to 5★ through the use of 3★ and 4★ Power-Ups before they can use 5★ Power-Ups.
 
===Stat boost===
Unlocking an EX role will grant a stat boost to the sync pair, depending on what the EX role is:

===Sync move effects===
===Sync move effects===
Normally, upgrading a sync pair to {{6EX}} grants extra effects on their [[sync move]], depending on the sync pair's role:
The sync move upgrade a sync pair receives upon reaching 6★ EX depends on the role of the sync pair:
* [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]] [[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] '''Strike''' : Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
* [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]] [[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] '''Strike''' : Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
* [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] '''Tech''' : Power of sync move increases by 50%.
* [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] '''Tech''' : Power of sync move increases by 50%.
Line 41: Line 16:
* [[File:Masters Field.png|32px|link=]] '''Field''' : Implements a specified field effect before the user's sync move is used the first time each battle. Extends the field effect duration only that time.
* [[File:Masters Field.png|32px|link=]] '''Field''' : Implements a specified field effect before the user's sync move is used the first time each battle. Extends the field effect duration only that time.


If a sync pair is raised to 6★ EX and unlocks their EX role (in either order), then they will have two role-based effects applied to their sync move: the effect matching their original role, and the effect matching their EX role. For example, a [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]][[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] Strike sync pair that has unlocked a [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] Tech EX role will have their sync move both attack all opponents (from the Strike role) and deal 50% more damage (from the Tech role).

An EX role[1] (Japanese: we'll get to that) is an additional role that a sync pair can achieve in Pokémon Masters EX. Introduced in version 2.36.0, unlocking a sync pair's EX role will raise the stats and strengthen the effects of a sync pair's sync move after that sync pair has been raised to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX.

Not all sync pairs have EX roles. This feature is currently limited to 5★ sync pairs, though like 6★ EX, this may be expanded to 3★ and 4★ sync pairs in the future. EX roles are planned to be given to additional sync pairs in the future.

Mechanics

To perform the 6★ EX upgrade, the target sync pair must increase their potential using 5★ Power-Ups ×20. Players will then be able to use 50 Champion Spirits (or Legendary Spirits for Legendary Adventures sync pairs). For sync pairs who start at a potential below 5★, their potential must first be upgraded to 5★ through the use of 3★ and 4★ Power-Ups before they can use 5★ Power-Ups.

Sync move effects

The sync move upgrade a sync pair receives upon reaching 6★ EX depends on the role of the sync pair:

  • Masters Physical Strike.png Masters Special Strike.png Strike : Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
  • Masters Tech.png Tech : Power of sync move increases by 50%.
  • Masters Support.png Support : The user's first sync move of each battle doubles the number of sync buffs granted to their team (from one to two). A sync move buff acts in stages, similar to a stat buff in the core series, with a +50% increase to overall damage per buff. Effectively, except in special circumstances, this boosts that team's damage from 1.5× after the first sync move to 2× instead.
  • Masters Sprint.png Sprint : The first time the user's sync move is used each battle, the sync move countdown is reduced by three.
  • Masters Field.png Field : Implements a specified field effect before the user's sync move is used the first time each battle. Extends the field effect duration only that time.
