== Summary ==
'''Resonances''' are equipment combos which produce a beneficial effect. All resonances require 2 different items, usually a [[Draft:Shiren 5 2020:Swords|sword]] and a [[Draft:Shiren 5 2020:Shields|shield]], but they can also involve [[Draft:Shiren 5 2020:Bracelets|bracelets]] and [[Draft:Shiren 5 2020:Torches|torches]]. The most common resonance effect is to be able to equip two bracelets at the same time. Some items (such as Fuuma Shield) resonates with two different items, but there is no way to have multiple resonances in effect at the same time.


Resonances are basically equipment combos. When you have certain sets of items equipped, you get certain effects / benefits.
Resonances do not appear in your game UI until you activate them for the first time. After activating a resonance for the first time, each item's description will mention its partner item. The level of a weapon or shield does not affect resonance, with one exception. (In other words, resonances only care about the sword or shield family, not the individual sword or shield type.) 


All known resonances require 2 different items in different categories to be equipped.  This is usually a sword and a shield, but can also involve torches and bracelets.  All known effects are good.  The most common effect is to be able to equip two bracelets at the same time.  There is no known way to have multiple resonances in effect at the same time, though a single item can be involved in multiple resonance pairs.
''(Reportedly, new items can trigger resonances based on their original stock base items, but this needs confirmation.)''


Resonances do not appear in your game UI until you activate them for the first time.  After activating a resonance for the first time, the descriptions of both items change to mention the resonance it can make with its partner item.  Consequently, it's not 100% clear that all possible resonances have been found.  Shiren 5 gives some hints about some resonances (e.g. from Superspy Daisaku), but there are definitely many resonances that are not hinted anywhere in Shiren 5.  It's possible that other resonances were hinted in [[Shiren 4]], though (a) Shiren 4 was never officially translated into English and (b) given how sparse resonance hints are in Shiren 5 it's doubtful all of them were hinted in Shiren 4 either.  (Note that this is very similar to how the game handles [[Shiren 5/Gameplay Elements/Runes|Runes]] and secret pot effects on [[Shiren 5/Gameplay Elements/New Items|New Items]]; a handful of things are hinted, and it seems you can only find the rest by experimentation or possibly via hints in a game that was never published in English.)  No one yet has reported doing a massive experiment to try equipping every possible combination of two items to prove that this is the full set of resonances, and no one yet has reverse engineered the game to prove the list is complete either. If by any chance you do find a new resonance, announce it to the world and get credit!
The resonance effect that lets you equip two bracelets is very powerful with [[Draft:Shiren 5 2020:New Items|new item]] bracelets, allowing you to have up to 8 bracelet effects active at the same time.


Reportedly, new items can still trigger resonances based on their original stock base items, but this needs confirmation.

The resonance effect allowing you to equip two bracelets is extremely powerful when coupled with new item bracelets.  You can have up to 8 great bracelet effects active at the same time rather than just the usual 1 bracelet effect! See [[Shiren 5/Strategy Guides/Crafting|Crafting]] and [[Shiren 5/Gameplay Elements/New Items|New Items]] for details.  But other resonance effects might be more important depending on your situation.  For example, in [[Shiren 5/Locations/Destiny's Descent|Destiny's Descent]], which doesn't let you take items in and doesn't allow new items to appear, and which does experience normal day/night cycles, resonances that improve strength, equipment strength, or provide useful aids at night might be more helpful to win the run.

Resonance effects are in Shiren DS2, Shiren 3. I don't know if they were in the original GameBoy Color release of Magic Castle of the Desert though. I don't believe the game gives any hint of which items resonate or what the effects are in Shiren 3, outside of telling you that they resonated.

Resonances are equipment combos which produce a beneficial effect. All resonances require 2 different items, usually a sword and a shield, but they can also involve bracelets and torches. The most common resonance effect is to be able to equip two bracelets at the same time. Some items (such as Fuuma Shield) resonates with two different items, but there is no way to have multiple resonances in effect at the same time.

Resonances do not appear in your game UI until you activate them for the first time. After activating a resonance for the first time, each item's description will mention its partner item. The level of a weapon or shield does not affect resonance, with one exception. (In other words, resonances only care about the sword or shield family, not the individual sword or shield type.)

(Reportedly, new items can trigger resonances based on their original stock base items, but this needs confirmation.)

The resonance effect that lets you equip two bracelets is very powerful with new item bracelets, allowing you to have up to 8 bracelet effects active at the same time.
