Select Personas and options above, then click “Calculate Fusion”.
- Normal Fusion: Typically combines two Personas. Some fusions (Triangle) use three.
- Special Fusions: Require specific Persona combinations, often more than two.
- Arcana Burst: Fusing Personas of an S.Linked Arcana can grant bonus EXP.
- Skill Inheritance: Resulting Personas inherit some skills from their parents. Rules vary.
Understanding Persona Fusion
Persona fusion is a core mechanic in Persona 3 Reload, allowing the protagonist to combine two or more Personas to create a new, often stronger, Persona. The resulting Persona’s Arcana, level, and inherited skills are determined by complex rules based on the “parent” Personas.
Fusion Types
Normal Fusion (Dyad/Triad):
This is the most common type. Typically, two Personas (Dyad) are fused. The resulting Persona’s Arcana is determined by a fixed chart based on the Arcanas of the two ingredients. Its base level is derived from the average base level of the ingredients, usually resulting in the next Persona of the determined Arcana above or at that average level. Triangle fusions (Triad) use three Personas and have different rules.
Special Fusions:
Some powerful or unique Personas can only be created through specific, fixed combinations of three to six Personas. These recipes must be discovered or known. The resulting Persona from a special fusion is always pre-determined if the correct ingredients are used.
Reverse Fusion Lookup:
This allows you to select a Persona you want to create and see a list of possible combinations that can result in it. This is useful for targeting a specific Persona if you have a well-stocked compendium.
Key Factors in Fusion
- Arcana Chart: A fundamental table that dictates the resulting Arcana when two different Arcanas are fused. Fusing two Personas of the same Arcana will typically result in a Persona of the same Arcana but of a lower rank/level (“fusing down”).
- Base Levels: The levels of the ingredient Personas are averaged. The game then looks for a Persona of the calculated Arcana whose base level is closest to, but not lower than (for upward fusion), this average.
- Player Level: You generally cannot fuse a Persona whose base level is higher than your current protagonist level (exceptions may exist for certain story-related or special fusions).
- Skill Inheritance: The new Persona can inherit a certain number of skills from its parents. Inheritance is influenced by the Persona’s Arcana (some Arcanas prefer certain skill types) and inheritance type slots (e.g., Physical, Magic, Support).
- Fusion Accidents: Rarely, a fusion might “fail” and result in an unexpected Persona, sometimes one that’s not normally fusible or has unique skills.
- Arcana Burst: When fusing a Persona of an Arcana for which you have a high Social Link rank, the Persona will receive bonus experience, potentially leveling up immediately and learning new skills.
