Obtaining Masakado's Key Item
Before delving into the fusion process, you must first acquire Masakado's Key Item. This item is obtained by completing Request #87: Fusion Series #9, Fool, Loki. To trigger this request, ensure you've completed Request #71: Fusion Series #6, Strength, Siegfried, and Request #72: Fusion Series #7, Hierophant, Daisoujou. Once these prerequisites are met, Loki must reach level 75 or higher to fulfill Request #87.
To fuse Loki, you can experiment with various combinations of Personas, each with their own level requirements. Some potential fusion options include Lilith (Devil), Kikuri-Hime (Priestess), and Siegfried (Strength), among others. Keep in mind that Loki's base level is 69, so ensure your protagonist's level matches or exceeds this threshold.
Masakado Fusion Recipe (with Charge)
Masakado's fusion process differs from regular fusions and requires a visit to the Special Fusion option in the Velvet Room. To perform this fusion, you'll need four specific Personas: Zouchouten (Chariot), Jikokuten (Strength), Koumokuten (Chariot), and Bishamonten (Tower). These Personas can be obtained through Shuffle Time in various blocks, each with its own level range.
Once you've gathered the necessary Personas, initiate the Special Fusion to create Masakado. It's recommended, though not mandatory, to complete the Tower Social Link (Mutatsu) beforehand to maximize Masakado's experience gain upon fusion.
Fine-Tuning Masakado's Skills
Upon fusion, Masakado inherits powerful skills suited for physical combat, such as Tempest Slash, Myriad Arrows, and Magarudyne. Additionally, you can customize Masakado's abilities by transferring Charge, either through a Skill Card or by inheriting it from one of the fusion Personas.
Exploring Masakado's Strengths
Masakado boasts high Strength but lower Agility and Luck stats, making it ideal for physical attacking strategies. Its skill set includes devastating offensive moves like Tempest Slash and Myriad Arrows, along with supportive abilities like Debilitate and Unshaken Will. However, it's crucial to note Masakado's weakness to electric attacks, making strategic planning essential in battle.
