Shin Megami Tensei Fusion Calculator Formula

The standard simplified formula used in this calculator (mapped from general economic principles) for finding the missing variable is as follows:

To find Fixed Arcana Modifier (F):

F = Q × (P - V)

To find Target Demon Level (Q):

Q = F / (P - V)

To find Demon B Base Level (P):

P = (F / Q) + V

To find Variable Arcana Rate (V):

V = P - (F / Q)

Variables for Shin Megami Tensei Fusion

The inputs correspond to key elements needed for a successful digital fusion:

  • Fixed Arcana Modifier (F): The static, foundational cost or bonus associated with the ritual’s base component. Enter the total value, not the unit value.
  • Demon B Base Level (P): The primary demon ingredient’s intrinsic level, acting as a unit price.
  • Variable Arcana Rate (V): The dynamic cost applied per unit (or per level), influenced by the fluctuating nature of the Arcana used.
  • Target Demon Level (Q): The desired outcome level of the final fused demon.

What is Shin Megami Tensei Fusion Calculator?

Demon fusion is the central mechanic of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, allowing protagonists to combine two or more demons to create a new, often stronger entity. Mastering fusion is essential for progress, as it allows players to transfer powerful skills and overcome challenging bosses.

A fusion calculator is a vital tool for planning, as the outcome is governed by complex, hidden algorithms based on the base levels, arcana, and hidden factors of the ingredient demons. This tool simplifies the process by letting you solve for one unknown variable based on the others, making it easier to optimize your fusion components.

While traditional calculators find the result of known ingredients, this ‘reverse’ calculator is designed to help determine what level of component (Demon B Level or Arcana Rate) you need to acquire to hit a specific Target Demon Level, based on your current resources (Fixed Arcana Modifier).

How to Calculate Shin Megami Tensei Fusion (Example)

Here is an illustrative example of how the core principle works in reverse planning:

  1. Identify the Target: Set your Target Demon Level (Q) to 50.
  2. Establish Knowns: You estimate the Fixed Arcana Modifier (F) for the ritual will be 500, and the Variable Arcana Rate (V) (your primary ingredient’s influence) is 5.
  3. Solve for the Missing Component: You need to find the minimum Demon B Base Level (P) required.
  4. Apply the Formula: \(P = \frac{F}{Q} + V\).
  5. Execution: \(P = \frac{500}{50} + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15\). You need a Demon B with a Base Level of 15.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Why do I need a Fusion Calculator? A calculator helps you plan fusion paths to acquire specific demons, transfer optimal skill sets, and manage your Macca budget efficiently.
  • What is the difference between Normal and Special Fusion? Normal fusion combines two demons, while Special Fusion often requires three or more specific demons to create a unique or powerful entity, typically an end-game persona or Fiend.
  • Does the order of demons matter? In most SMT games, the order of the ingredient demons can affect the final result’s level or inherited skills, especially in games with dynamic fusion mechanics.
  • How do I get the ‘Fixed Arcana Modifier’ (F)? In this calculator, the Fixed Arcana Modifier (F) represents the fixed costs of the ritual, which might be influenced by factors like negotiation success rates or high-level Arcana items.
