How 【When Paired】 works

【When Paired】 fires when any Pilot is paired with this Unit, with no link condition required. That is the difference from 【When Linked】. Pairing is the physical act of putting a Pilot under the Unit; linking also requires the Pilot to match the Unit's link requirement. Every link is a pair, but not every pair is a link.

Because any Pilot sets it off, 【When Paired】 is the more flexible reward. Even an off-archetype Pilot cashes it in, and Commands with a Pilot effect can do the pairing too.
