Super Robot Wars 64 Guide: Flow Chart, Secrets and Reference
Love bonus
Pairings come from the Love bonus table in ROM, with activation conditions from battle-code analysis. A pilot with the bonus deals +30% damage and takes −30% damage while the partner is within 2 squares (horizontal, vertical or diagonal, at most one square between).

This guide is based on the project’s analysis of the game’s scripts and code, with reference to the flow chart, secrets and other information on Akurasu Wiki’s Super Robot Wars 64 pages. Thanks to Akurasu’s writers and editors for maintaining this material over the years. Badges mark differences and information not covered there.

- The table above covers all 47 rows of the ROM's love bonus table: the table registers rows as “holder ← partner”, so two-way pairs take two rows; Zechs/Milliardo has 3 character IDs and Lady has 2, and Shiro and Aina are each registered twice, so there are more rows than pairs
- Koji ↔ Maria and Duke ↔ Naida are both two-way: each table row has two partner columns, and the code checks both (an older version of this page listed them as one-way, which was a misreading)
- In Super stages 2–6 (“Koji's Fury: Mazinger Rises!” through “Fearless! Le Cain's Challenge”), Koji and Sayaka get no bonus at all as holders, not even with Maria beside them; normal from stage 7 on
- Treize ↔ Lady, not listed by AkurasuNot on Akurasu
Rules
- Holder attacking → damage +30%; holder being attacked → damage taken −30%; hit rate unaffected
- With multiple partners the bonus does not stack; at most ±30%
- Effective only for ally pilots; the partner must also be an ally unit on the map
- The partner must be within 2 squares of the holder: horizontal plus vertical distance of 2 or less (diagonally adjacent counts); it does not need to be on the current screenNot verified in game
- The bonus applies after damage is calculated, before the Valor / Soul / critical multipliers
