Affection bonuses are not included, and I think jewelry isn't included in the count either. Either or both may still apply while in combat though, that data is a bit harder to figure out and would require a lot of testing.

It's been confirmed that what you see in the helper squad TP does NOT include Affection or Ampys, while your own squads' numbers include both. Equipment is not included in your screen or your helper squad's TP on allies' screens. That said, Affection and Ampys, while not included in displayed Helper Squad TP, DO influence their effectiveness in combat. Equipment is unconfirmed.

As I recall, somebody actually did confirm it some months back by sticking a high level Ring onto a low level 2* girl on an alt account. Double the Firepower is pretty dam easy to notice like that.

Excellent, good to know.
