Synergy loss when adding wolves to hunting party?

Hi!

So I know synergy goes down when you make changes to the hunting party, but how much synergy exactly do you lose when adding a wolf? And is better to add two wolves at the same time, one at a time, or does it not make any difference? (It probably doesn't, but I still thought I'd ask.)

I think it might be depending on the percentage they allready have. I changed the party a lot at the start - so whenever they were around 10% I'd add a new wolf and theny fall about 3-5%. But I also heard that others had drops of 14%.
I don't think it makes much of a difference in the start. But maybe you should add one first, then do a few hunts before you add the next if the thing I described holds true. Losing 3 or 6 percent on a low level will likely make no difference. But loosing 14 or 28 percent later on will.

All right, thanks!

When my synergy was roughly 20-40% I didn’t notice a difference when switching out the wolves, but I removed a single wolf the other day and it went from roughly 75 to 55. 

I think it might also depend on the proficiency/stats of the wolf being removed? The better the wolf is, the worse it’s gonna be?

I know this is old, but I didn't realize that until after I found a definitive answer, so... here you go. It might be helpful to someone.

The Grouse House has a hunting guide that talks about synergy and it gives a formula for calculating synergy and synergy changes. It looks something like this:

(IP + IP + IP + IP + IP)/n = TS
IP= Individual Prof.
n= number of wolves in the party
TS= Total Synergy

I also recorded some information about my newest hunting party before and after I changed it, then used the formula on it.

STARTING
Stalker-  31% prof
Chaser 1-  31% prof
Chaser 2/3*-  31% prof
Finisher-  31% prof
SYNERGY- 33%
*same wolf

CHANGED
Stalker- same
Chaser 1- same
Chaser 2-  0% prof
Chaser 3-  0% prof
Finisher- same
SYNERGY changed to: 17%

STARTING
(31 + 31 + 31 + 31)/4 = (124/4) = 31

CHANGED
(31 + 31 + 0 + 0 + 31)/5 = (93/5) = ~18

What happened with my party was almost exactly as the formula predicted.
