I recently read a post where someone was explaining "chaning photon blasts in a team game." I've noticed that whenever I use a photon blast, theres a small number 1 at the top of the screen. Just out of curiosity, if you chain blasts together does it change the number?

I believe so. But alas, I've never chained as I do now know how.

Never chained? Are you serious? It's a smidge, while a team mate is photoning, activate YOUR photon blast, and TA-DA! You auto chain.

Hi! I recently found my way back here and was feeling nostalgic. On the off chance that someone comes by here and remembers me, feel free to shoot me a line over on twitter.

But making sure you do a different Photon blast, otherwise it won't work

Yes. You have about 3 seconds to activate your blast. If your in an online game and someone shouts out something like 90 or 100 then they are probably telling you how much photon they have on their mag and want you to respond with yours. This means PBs aren't wasted when one person has 100 and one person has 99. Might as well wait and chain them. Useful if you don't have a force and someone uses Mylla & Young. Everyone who chains (not sure about sharing (tapping Y whilst PB is being activated if you can't chain)) gets the S&D effect too.

Boosting others, as we usually refer to it (tapping Y during a PB to give up to 30 of your PB to the caster), will get you S/D if the caster(s) used Mylla & Youlla.
Note that you can "boost" while dead, this will revive you.
A chain PB of 4 people will give you a better S/D than 3 people + one boosting, but only a little.
it goes like that:
Mylla & Youlla = Shifta and Deband Lv 21
Mylla & Youlla + boost of 30 = Shifta and Deband Lv 31
Mylla & Youlla + any other PB chained = Shifta and Deband Lv 41
Mylla & Youlla + any other PB chained + boost of 30 = Shifta and Deband Lv 51
Mylla & Youlla + two other PB chained = Shifta and Deband Lv 61
Mylla & Youlla + two other PB chained + boost of 30 = Shifta and Deband Lv 71
Mylla & Youlla + three other PBs chained = Shifta & Deband Lv 81
If the mag of the person casting Mylla and Youlla has 120% Synchro

To this day I still laugh at how many didn't know that.
