Fusion Fundamentals

Choose the tool for your question

The Fusion Simulator starts with your ingredients and shows their result. The Fusion Calculator starts with a target and lists recipes that can produce it. Both use Reload’s Arcana chart, level rules and fixed special recipes.

Set DLC ownership to match your game. Adding Personas to an Arcana changes the level ladder used for ordinary fusion, so a recipe from a different DLC configuration may give a different result.

Separate ordinary and special fusion

Ordinary fusion uses the ingredients’ base levels and Arcana. Fixed recipes and Special Fusions have their own requirements, so they take priority over an ordinary chart lookup.

Reload does not use Royal’s Treasure Demon fusion rules. The result’s level, Social Link unlocks, Linked Episodes and request rewards must still be satisfied in your own save. A listed recipe is not permission to bypass an unlock.

Register the Personas you want to keep

The compendium lets you register Personas you have developed and summon them again. Before consuming an ingredient with useful learned skills, check which version is registered.

A matching Social Link provides fusion experience through Arcana Burst. That bonus changes growth after the fusion; it does not change the target identity shown by the recipe.
