Materia Fusion
Talk2this wiki
Added by KeltainentoukokuuMateria Fusion is a gameplay term in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It allows Zack to fuse two different Materia together to form a new Materia. Later in the game, the player can earn the ability to include items in the fusion as well to give the new Materia enhanced stat bonuses. Many rare Materia can only be acquired through Materia Fusion.

Basic Rules
Edit
MateriaEdit
When fusing Materia there are many possibilities depending on the type of each Materia, and if it is Mastered or not. There are a few general guidelines however:
- When Fire, Blizzard or Thunder Materia are fused with a status Materia, they result in a "Dark-" version of the magic Materia. Example: Poison + Fire = Dark Fire.
- When a yellow Materia is combined with a magic or status Materia, it will take on the latter's element. Example: Poison + Power Attack = Poison Blade, or Fire + Power Attack = Fire Blade
- Combining two of the same Materia will result in a version of that Materia with a higher stat boost. Example: Cure (VIT+1) + Cure (VIT+1) = Cure (VIT+2)
- Combining a more advanced version of a green Materia with a more basic version will always result in a version of the more advanced version with a higher stat boost. Example: Thunder (MAG+1) + Thundara (MAG+2) = Thundara (MAG+3)
- Combining two of the three basic elemental spells (Thunder, Blizzard and Fire) will result in a Materia of the left over spell. Example: Thunder (MAG+1) + Blizzard (MAG+1) = Fire (MAG+2).
- Combining anything with a Barrier materia will yield only a stronger Barrier materia.
ItemsEdit
Once the player has obtained the Item Fusion Tome by completing mission 7-2-1, item fusion becomes available. By combining items with the two fused Materia, the stat bonus of the Materia resulting from the fusion increases. The stat boost of the resulting Materia can be changed depending on which items are used and how many of that item. As the stat boost on an item increases, certain stat boosting items will have no effect. For example, five LCK Mako Stones can be used to increase LUK by 1 in a fusion, but if the LUK boost on a Materia is higher than 40, adding more LCK Mako Stones to the mix will have no effect.
Stat BoostsEdit
Fusing Materia can be used to give Materia excellent stat boosts. ATK, VIT, MAG, SPR and LUK max out at increases of +100 on a single Materia, while HP, AP and MP max out at +999% per Materia. When fusing two Materia, the equation for the stat boost on the resulting Materia is as follows, where "X" is the higher stat boost between the two Materia and Y is the lower value:
- X + Y(1/2) = Boost
Thus, for example:
- Fire (MAG+4) + Fire (MAG+2) = Fire (MAG+5)
- Fire (HP+40%) + Fire (HP+80%) = Fire (HP+100%)
If items are used in the Materia Fusion, regardless of what boost the items give, the resulting boost will be higher than it would normally. If the boost that would be granted by the items is higher than the boost of the two base Materia, the resulting Materia's boost is changed to that of the items. The base rules on which value is higher between the two Materia as explained above still apply. For example:
- Fire (MAG+2) + Fire (MAG+2) + 10x Hero Drink (ATK+1) = Fire (ATK+13)
- Fire (MAG+6) + Fire (MAG+6) + 2x Hero Drink (ATK+1) = Fire (MAG+11)
If two Materia are fused that have different stat boosts, the resulting Materia will increase the stat that had the higher boost from the two base Materia. For example:
- Fire (LUK+4) + Fire (SPR+6) = Fire (SPR+8)
In the event the two Materia had a +% boost and a +# boost, 10% = 1 for purposes of determining which stat boost is higher and thus what stat boost the new Materia will have. The above rules all still apply if items are used in such cases. For example:
- Fire (HP+40%) + Fire (VIT+10) = Fire (VIT+12)
- Fire (HP+80%) + Fire (VIT+4) = Fire (HP+100%)
- Fire (MAG+4) + Fire (ATK+8) + 3x Mythril (SPR+1) = Fire (ATK+13)
FusingEdit
When the player chooses to fuse Materia, they must choose two Materia to fuse, and which item to include in the fusion and how many (the player can also choose to include no items). When the player selects the fuse command, they are shown what the product Materia will be and what stat boost it will have, as well as how many Soldier Points the fusion will cost (the player cannot fuse Materia if they do not have enough SP). The player may then either cancel the fusion, or confirm it to complete the process and acquire their new Materia.
GradesEdit
Grade is what the game uses to weigh the "value" of one Materia against another. Grade 1 Materia are the lowest, Grade 8 is the highest. Grades determine what the resulting Materia from a fusion will be, with the highest Grade taking priority. For example, fusing a Grade 2 Materia with a Grade 5 Materia will result in a Grade 5 Materia. Items can also determine the resulting Grade as items have Grades also. If a Materia is Mastered, it adds +1 to the Grade level of the resulting Materia. If both Materia are mastered, the resulting Materia will have +2 Grade.
