Dimension Links, or D-Links for short, are another new feature included in Birth by Sleep. Each character has what is called a D-Link Gauge that, when full, can be used to call friends to the battlefield, completely altering the characters current Battle Deck and sometimes giving them new abilities that can come in handy during battles. Furthermore, when a D-Link is made, it fully restores the HP of the character, allowing them to continue their fight at full strength. Each D-Link also comes with its own unique Finish Command, and can be leveled up through use to evolve into more powerful Finish Commands and new and improved Battle Decks and abilities. After a certain amount of uses, emblems will appear scattered on the battlefield. Picking these emblems up during battle allows your current D-Link to level up and become more powerful, which also makes it last longer. Each Dimension Link is detailed below, including who can acquire it, where it can be obtained, available Battle Decks, abilities, and Finish Commands.
