SMT Nocturne Fusion Calculator Formula:

Formula: F + (V × Q) = P × Q

Source: Megami Tensei Wiki – Fusion Mechanics

Variables:

  • F (Compendium Base Cost): The static Macca fee required to summon the base demon from the Compendium.
  • P (Target Demon Value): The “Price” or perceived value of the resulting fused demon in the current game economy.
  • V (Variable Material Cost): The average cost of acquiring material demons (via recruitment or low-level fusions).
  • Q (Number of Fusions): The total quantity of demons you intend to produce or the “Break-Even” quantity.

What is SMT Nocturne Fusion Calculator?

The SMT Nocturne Fusion Calculator is a strategic tool for players navigating the complex demonic economy of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Unlike simple level-lookup tables, this calculator uses the Break-Even Point (BEP) principle to help you decide if summoning a demon is more cost-effective than recruiting one.

In Nocturne, “Macca” is your most valuable resource. By calculating your Fixed Costs (F) and Variable Costs (V), you can determine exactly how many fusions (Q) are required to make a high-cost demon “profitable” for your party’s progression through the Vortex World.

How to Calculate SMT Nocturne Fusion Efficiency (Example):

  1. Identify your Fixed Cost (F): Let’s say summoning a Pixie costs 5,000 Macca.
  2. Determine Variable Cost (V): Each material demon costs roughly 1,000 Macca in items.
  3. Decide on Target Value (P): A fused High Pixie is worth 8,000 Macca to you.
  4. Calculate (Q): Using the formula $Q = F / (P – V)$, we get $5000 / (8000 – 1000) = 0.71$.
  5. Conclusion: You break even on your very first fusion!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Does the calculator account for the 25% Compendium discount?

Yes, ensure you enter the discounted value into the “Fixed Cost (F)” field for the most accurate results.

What happens if the result for Q is negative?

A negative Q suggests that your variable costs exceed your target value, meaning the fusion is never “profitable” regardless of volume.

Can I use this for Mitama fusions?

Absolutely. Enter the Mitama summoning cost as F and the stat gains’ value as P.

How do I lower the “V” variable?

Recruiting demons through negotiation instead of summoning them from the Compendium is the best way to lower your Variable Costs.
