[Perdition]

Using 3 bonded youkai has always been problematic as far as keeping fight as one active. It's why many bonders just use 1 bonded youkai. The advantage of having multiple bonded youkai is that they're all compatible with shared pain mostly, along with interacting with things that require a bonded youkai. That's the tradeoff for losing the convenience of effects from single bonding.

If the range increases for fight as one in this way it makes bonder much stronger because instead of the best strategy being to bond just one youkai to get FAO online faster, you can easily spam out all your youkai which will have lower FP costs from parted pain and not only have a bunch of goons but also increased hit, crit, crit evade, and evade.
