Applink
| |||||||
An Applink (アプリンク Apurinku) is a process in which two Appmon (one in the form of an Appmon Chip) are linked together into a conglomerate entity by an Appli Drive user. To perform the Applink, Appmon use retractable cables located somewhere on their bodies. Sometimes, the subordinate Appmon forms weapons, armor or new abilities for the lead Appmon.[1] Other times, the subordinate Appmon transforms into a colorful aura floating behind the lead Appmon.[2] Occasionally, the resulting Applink incorporates elements of both original Appmon into its appearance and may even possess new techniques.
AppGattai (アプ合体 Apu gattai) is stated to be a variation of Applink in which two specific compatible Appmon combine together to become an Appmon of a higher Grade.
When 2 Appmon Applink in a way that results in 1 Appmon taking on the armor, weapons, or other physical characteristics of the 2nd Appmon, this type of Applink is referred to as Chou Gattai (超合体)[3].

Unlike in other Digimon Universe media, as Appli Drivers don't exist in Appmon Academy!!, Appmon are capable of Applinking on their own. While no power values are shown, visibly Applinking seems to work the same as in other media otherwise.

Digimon Liberator[edit]
As Digimon Liberator is based on the Digimon Card Game, Link and AppGattai follow the same rules as they does in it. As Appmon themselves were unknown in Digimon Liberator prior to their first appearance, so were these mechanics. As such, the only player so far to be seen using them is the only player to use Appmon, Smiley Navigator.

Digimon Card Game[edit]
Link is a mechanic added to the Digimon Card Game in BT-21 World Convergence. A Digimon or Option card with the Link rule from the hand or battle area can be linked to a Digimon on the battle area that meets the criteria specified on the linking card. Afterwards, the linked card is plugged sideways below the recipient, which gains the DP and effect written in the Link user as long as they remain linked.
By default, a Digimon can only have 1 linked card, though the keyword Link +N allows this limit to be raised by the amount given in N. If another card is linked to a Digimon that already has the maximum number of linked cards, the previous card is trashed. If a Digimon with a linked card evolves, the link is kept so long as the evolved Digimon still meets the requirement. Otherwise, it gets trashed. Linked cards are not considered evolution sources. If a Digimon from the battle area with evolution sources is linked, the evolution sources are trashed.
A linked Digimon is needed to perform AppGattai. During an AppGattai, the linked card is stacked on top of the link recipient and both become evolution sources for the Digimon with the AppGattai requirement, which is evolved from them. AppGattai can be used as long as any two of the materials written in the card are the Digimon's top card and one of its link cards.
