Aloha Links, how does it work?
The principle of Aloha Links is simple. As you explore the city, you'll come across people with a little emoji above their heads. This is a sign that it is a member of the application. At that point, greet him once you're close enough, and you'll become friends with him. The emoji turns green and, at the same time, you gain a small personality bonus, ranging from +5 to +15, the nature of which depends on the person with whom the link is made.
However, you are only at the beginning of your friendship with the person in question. By greeting her regularly you increase her level. Once it ends, you become a “friend” and you again inherit a personality bonus.

Kei's Aloha Links Rewards
Becoming friends with people, in addition to personality bonuses, also gives you tiered access to rewards from Kei, manager of the Revolve bar alongside the Bartender. As soon as you reach a certain level, you receive a text message from the waitress inviting you to join her. Go to the Revolve and talk to him to collect the following equipment:
- 5 friends : Combat Sarashi
- 15 friends : Combat Belt
- 25 friends : Punk choker
- 50 friends : Fleeting longsword
- 100 friends : Dragon Boots
- 200 friends : Kinagashi of the dragon
Note: We are talking about “friend” status and not “buddy”. So, it is not necessary to be friends to the maximum with different people to enjoy these rewards. Only a green emoji counts for these tiers.
Note 2: It is advisable to make sure to become friends as soon as possible with as many people as possible because levels 100 and 200 are very interesting. Dragon Boots are 4-star quality and grant a random stat bonus each turn. The Kinagashi is a 5-star piece of equipment and extends the duration of stat improvements. Relatively early in the adventure, you can therefore make a character very resistant (Kasuga for that matter), enough to approach the first half of the game a little more calmly.
The different types of Aloha Links members
There are different types of Aloha Links friends throughout Honolulu, the main archetypes of which are:
