Materia Fusion

April 23, 2008, 10:33 PM

So I can finally now fuse materia. Simple enough, but I would still like to know if there are cool fusions that you guys have discovered, and if so, it would be great if you can share them here.

State what it does as well.

Erm, so far the only interesting one I discovered at this stage of the game is:

Thunder + Poison = Dark Thunder.
SP Cost: 7
(I haven't exactly fused the materias together yet, so I don't know what it does at all). If someone can tell me, that would be awesome.

This is almost illegal this one ^^-

Master HP Up + fused with Master HP UP +, plus 25 elixirs (when you get item fusion)= HP Up + which raises your HP by roughly 360%, giving you 9999 HP ^^

O.O Damn! I didn't need to do that to get to 9999 HP!

Hm, well if you combine Death with Vital Slash you get Death Blade I believe >> but that's a given...I really don't fuse materia a lot...

I do know if you combine one mastered materia with the same kind of any level you get a stronger version

Example
Fire / Mastered
+
Fire / Lv 1
=
Fira Lv1

Hope that helps

Well, the only interesting fusion I had to make was (status strike) + (HP UP++) = (status ward) with the hp bonus
But then again, those are advanced materia you can only get further on.

And yeah, (HP UP+ (M)) + (HP UP+) = HP UP++Which is awfully useful to obtain great bonuses in HP (once you can break the limit, of course)

Anyway, thing is that with 2 materia of the same level (there are levels 1-8) the bonus will be the highest of the bonuses + half the other bonus + etc...

As a side note: 1 Phoenix Down = +10% HP bonus

I hope that helps,

Oh wow.. Didn't know that about the Phoenix Down... Good stuff!

If you happen to be able to make a lot of HP UP+, invest in fusing them to make HP UP++. I have like, 210% on a level 2 HP UP++, and trust me, it helps.

Make sure you make yourself a Mug, and mug EVERYTHING for fusion materials. But watch your materia list, it'll fill quickly. GameFAQs has some good guides for even downgrading mastered materia, believe me there's times, many times you'll want to.

I suggest making a beefy HP% stat bonus'ed Curaga, that's a mainstay for my guy, and a Mug with plenty of AP% as well. My next project is going to be a Death Twister with maxed Attack, and I want maxed VIT on something eventually too. By the way you do know you can break the 9999 barrier like you could in the PS2 FF games right? My dude has almost 30,000 HP right now and I'm in the low 50's with about 40% mission completion atm...

Materia fusion is extremely innovative. Just my opinion but I woudn't go blowing Elixers or P.Downs early on for HP's, save them for later on, after Potions/Hi-Potions and stones have worn off their welcome...
