Cassette Beasts: How Fusion System Works?
Fusion in Cassette Beasts is described as a temporary evolution that occurs during battles. When both of your monsters fuse, they create a single more powerful monster. This process is driven by an AI algorithm, which generates over 14,000 combinations. Including shinies with randomized types and move sets brings the total closer to 3 million combinations.
How Fusion Works
When your monsters fuse, they inherit several traits from each of the original monsters:
- Type: Since all monsters in the game are monotyped, fusions become dual-typed, combining the types of both monsters.
- Move Set: Fusions inherit the move sets of both monsters, including typeless attacks that become dual-typed.
- Stats: The stats of both monsters combine to form the fused monster’s stats.
- AP Regeneration: Fused monsters receive both original monsters’ AP regeneration, allowing them to use stronger attacks sooner.
Building the Fusion Meter
To access Fusion during battle, you need to build up the Fusion meter by taking damage. You can also intentionally damage your cassettes to increase the meter faster. The meter carries over between battles, so you can prepare for a challenging boss fight by building it up in advance.
Bonding Mechanic and Fusion Power
The bonding mechanic in Cassette Beasts influences the strength of your fusions, with the relationship between you and the various companion characters affecting the power of the fused monster. Leveling up this relationship allows you to use Fusion Power, the strongest Fusion move in the game.
Pros and Cons of Fusion
While Fusion offers numerous benefits, there are also downsides to consider:
- Pros: Increased power, dual typing, faster AP regeneration, and access to powerful moves.
- Cons: Facing a one-versus-two scenario, potential disadvantageous dual typing, and exposing yourself to multiple attacks per turn.
You can always unfuse during combat if you find yourself in a difficult situation.
