Quick Navigation
Understanding Fusion Mechanics
Persona fusion follows specific rules based on arcana relationships and level calculations. Mastering these fundamentals is the first step toward fusion mastery.
Basic Fusion Formula
The level of a fused Persona is determined by a specific formula:
Fused Persona Level = [(P1 Level + P2 Level) ÷ 2] + X
Where X is a modifier based on the specific arcana combination (typically between 1-5)
Arcana Relationships
Each fusion follows the Arcana Burroughs Chart, which determines:
- Which Persona results from specific arcana combinations
- The level modifier applied to the fusion
- Special fusion requirements for ultimate Personas
Fusion Types
Persona 5 Royal features several fusion methods:
- Normal Fusion (2-3 Personas)
- Advanced Fusion (Special recipes)
- Network Fusion (Online features)
- Gallows Fusion (Skill transfer)
Arcana Compatibility Chart
Understanding how arcana interact is crucial for predicting fusion results:
| Arcana 1 | Arcana 2 | Result Arcana | Level Modifier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fool | Magician | Death | +3 |
| Priestess | Empress | Star | +2 |
| Emperor | Hierophant | Hanged Man | +4 |
| Lovers | Chariot | Strength | +3 |
| Justice | Hermit | Fortune | +2 |
| Strength | Fortune | Sun | +3 |

Network Fusion and Gallows Execution
Network Fusion
This online feature allows fusion with Personas from other players:
- Access to Personas with unusual skill combinations
- Chance to obtain rare skills not normally inheritable
- Refreshes daily with new options
Strategy: Check regularly for Personas with valuable skill mutations.
Gallows Execution
Sacrificing Personas to strengthen another:
- Transfers random skills between Personas
- Grants experience points to the receiving Persona
- Can be used repeatedly on the same day with different Personas
Strategy: Use to transfer rare skills that are difficult to inherit through fusion.
Skill Inheritance Optimization
Creating Personas with ideal skill sets requires understanding inheritance mechanics and planning multi-step fusion chains.
Inheritance Rules and Priorities
Skill Affinity System
Each Persona has inherent affinities that affect skill inheritance:
High Affinity Skills
Skills matching the Persona’s elemental strengths inherit more easily
Example: Agi skills on a Fire-strong Persona
Low Affinity Skills
Skills opposing the Persona’s affinities have reduced inheritance chance
Example: Bufu skills on a Fire-strong Persona
Skill Inheritance Probability Formula
P(inherit) = Base Chance × (1 + Affinity Bonus) × (1 + Skill Slot Bonus)
Where Affinity Bonus is +0.5 for matching affinities, -0.3 for opposing
Maximizing Inheritance Success
- Fuse Personas with overlapping skill affinities
- Use skill cards to guarantee specific skills
- Chain fusions to gradually build desired skill sets
- Exploit fusion alarms for improved inheritance rates
Avoiding Inheritance Issues
- Some skills cannot be inherited (unique abilities)
- Elemental skills opposed to Persona’s affinity rarely transfer
- Too many skills of the same type can block diversity

Fusion Chains and Skill Building
Creating Personas with perfect skill sets often requires multi-step fusion chains:
Skill Inheritance Planning
Plan backward from your target Persona to determine the optimal fusion path:
- Identify the desired skills for your target Persona
- Find Personas that naturally learn these skills
- Plan fusion chains that transfer skills efficiently
- Consider using skill cards for difficult-to-inherit abilities
Example Fusion Chain for Hassou Tobi Yoshitsune
Step 1: Transfer Arms Master
Fuse Sarasvati (Priestess) with Hua Po (Hanged Man) to create Hariti (Magician) with Arms Master
Step 2: Transfer Attack Master
Fuse Hariti with Orthrus (Justice) to create Thoth (Emperor) with both Arms Master and Attack Master
Step 3: Prepare Yoshitsune Components
Use Thoth in the fusion chain for one of Yoshitsune’s required Personas
Step 4: Final Fusion
Execute the special fusion for Yoshitsune with the prepared components
Fusion Alarm Exploitation
Fusion Alarms (occurring after successful negotiations in Mementos) provide fusion bonuses:
Alarm Benefits
- Reduced fusion costs
- Increased experience gain from Gallows
- Higher chance of skill mutations
- Access to rare Personas through accident fusions
Accident Fusion Strategy
During alarms, fusions can sometimes result in unexpected Personas:
- Often produces high-level Personas early
- May create Personas with unusual skill sets
- Can be exploited to obtain rare skills
Risk: Accident fusions are unpredictable and may waste resources.
Fusion Cost Optimization
Fusion can be expensive, especially for high-level Personas. These strategies help minimize costs while maximizing results.
Cost Calculation Formula
Fusion Cost = Base Cost × (1 + Level Modifier) × (1 – Discount Bonuses)
Where Base Cost depends on the resulting Persona’s level and rarity
Reducing Fusion Costs
- Maximize Tower Confidant for discount bonuses
- Use Fusion Alarms for reduced costs
- Register Personas in Compendium before fusing
- Exploit network fusion for cost-effective options
Efficient Resource Management
- Focus on fusing Personas you’ll use long-term
- Use Gallows for skill transfer instead of re-fusing
- Plan fusion chains to minimize intermediate steps
- Take advantage of free fusion events (festivals, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the easiest way to get started with Persona fusion?
Start with simple two-Persona fusions using the fusion prediction feature in the Velvet Room. Experiment with different arcana combinations to understand how they interact. Use a basic fusion calculator to check your results until you internalize the common patterns.
Can I fuse Personas that are higher level than my protagonist?
No, you cannot fuse Personas that exceed your protagonist’s current level. This restriction ensures that you can’t create overpowered Personas early in the game. The only exception is through Fusion Alarms, which can sometimes produce Personas above your level through accident fusions.
How does the Strength Confidant affect fusion?
The Strength Confidant allows you to fuse Personas above your level once you reach specific ranks. At max rank (10), you can fuse any Persona regardless of level. This confidant is essential for creating powerful end-game Personas before reaching the level requirement naturally.
What’s the difference between fusion in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal?
Persona 5 Royal introduced several fusion enhancements: new Personas (including the Faith and Councillor arcana), additional special fusions, improved fusion calculators in the Velvet Room, and the ability to choose which skills to inherit during fusion (rather than completely random inheritance).
How can I guarantee a specific skill is inherited?
While you can’t guarantee inheritance through normal fusion, you can significantly increase the odds by using Personas with matching skill affinities. For absolute certainty, use skill cards which allow you to teach specific skills to any Persona. Gallows execution during Fusion Alarms also has a high chance of transferring selected skills.
What should I do if a fusion accident occurs?
Fusion accidents during alarms can produce unexpected Personas. If you get a result you don’t want, you can either reload a save (if you saved before fusing) or work with the accident Persona. Sometimes accidents create powerful Personas with unique skill combinations you couldn’t get through normal fusion.
Is it worth registering all Personas in the Compendium?
Yes, absolutely. Registering Personas allows you to resummon them later for a fee. This is essential for fusion chains, as you can recall specific Personas with desired skills. It’s especially important to register Personas before fusing them away, so you can recreate them if needed for future fusions.
