Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers
Sword Fusion can be performed at the Hotel Goumaden with Muramasa. This process sacrifices a demon to be fused into the Nameless Sword, changing its properties. The sword's Attack depends on the demon's level and strength, and the swords' Hit depends on the demon's level, agility and luck. In some cases, a special weapon is created when certain demons are fused into the blade.
The unique fusion weapons are as follows:
Item | Attack | Hit | Range | Gender | Demon Fused |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Gae Bolg | 56 | 45 | Pierce Foe in F. Row (Back OK) | Male | Megami Scathach |
Riyu Bang | 64 | 59 | F. Row | Male | Fury Wu Kong |
Futsunomitama | 82 | 58 | Foe in F. Row | Both | Kishin Futsunushi |
Kusanagi no Ken | 90 | 99 | Foe in F. Row | Male | Snake Orochi |
Gungnir | 124 | 118 | Pierce Foe in F. Row (Back OK) | Female | Deity Odin |
Sudarsana | 120 | 122 | All (Back OK) | Female | Deity Vishnu |
Trishula | 190 | 154 | Pierce Foe in F. Row (Back OK) | Male | Fury Shiva |
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army
Sword Fusion can be done at the Goumaden with Dr. Victor. Like other fusion in the game it requires the demon to have Max loyalty. Unlike Soul Hackers fusing a demon with your sword just boosts its power as well as giving you resistance to a damage type and a boost to one of your stats. However, fusing the demons Nagasunehiko, Abihiko, Hitokotonusi and Mishaguji to the same sword, in any order, separately or together, changes the blade permanently to the Onmyo katana class, the most powerful blade in the game.
Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon
Victor's Ippon-Datara informs Raidou during the story of his master's new type of fusion: rather than directly fusing a demon with the sword, Victor now can combine various types of enemy-dropped crystals with Renki swords to create weapons of various kinds, allowing for flexibility in the use of swords to suit more kinds of gameplay.
Sword Fusion is used to make the Youmetsutou, a sword that can harm Apollyons.
Persona 3 FES / Portable
The FES edition of Persona 3 introduces weapon fusion. "Nihil" weapons are dropped by various enemies and can be fused with personas at Shinshoudo Antiques into weapons of various strengths, depending on the persona's level, with various bonuses, depending on the persona's arcana. Certain unique weapons can only be made this way, and are among the strongest in the game. When creating a unique weapon, the Nihil weapon's type does not matter - for example, fusing Lucifer with any Nihil weapon will always create a sword, Lucifer's Blade, and fusing Cu Chulainn with any Nihil weapon will always create a spear, Gae Bolg.
These are the unique weapons that can be created through Sword fusion:

In addition, generic weapons can be created by fusing any persona into a Nihil weapon; the weapon's resulting power, accuracy, and strength of the effects depend on the persona's level, while the effect obtained depends on the persona's Arcana. Note that the personas from Fool Arcana are unique in that they each have a different effect, rather than granting the same effect at varying strengths as with every other Arcana.
Persona 5
The Itemization system used in Persona 5 is similar to both the Mystic Change system used in Persona and Persona 2 and the Weapon fusion system used in the later editions of Persona 3. Most Personas itemize into Skill Cards, but for easy reference the ones that fuse into equipment will be listed here. Itemizing a Persona requires having the corresponding "blank" equipment, described as "possessing the power to transmutate". They are the black Kogatana, Model Gun, Black Robe, and Black Rock; itemizing a Persona into a Skill Card requires having a Blank Card to fuse it to. Itemizing unlocks on the first day of August, 8/1.
