Demon Fusion Calculator
What is the Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance Fusion Calculator?
The shin megami tensei v vengeance fusion calculator is a specialized tool designed to help players predict the outcome of demon fusion. In Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, demon fusion is the primary method for strengthening your party by combining two or more of your allied demons to create a new, often more powerful, one. This calculator automates the process, removing guesswork and allowing you to strategize your party composition effectively. Whether you’re aiming for a specific demon or just exploring possibilities, this tool is indispensable.
The Demon Fusion Formula and Explanation
In most cases, standard demon fusion (Dyad Fusion) follows a specific formula. While the game does this for you, understanding the mechanics can give you an edge. The calculator uses this same logic.
Formula: Resulting Demon = Next demon of the target Race whose Base Level is ≥ ( (Base Level of Demon 1 + Base Level of Demon 2) / 2 ) + 1
In simple terms:
- The races of the two ingredient demons are cross-referenced on a fusion chart to determine the resulting demon’s race.
- The base levels of the two demons are averaged, and then one is added to the result.
- The game then finds the first demon of the target race whose own base level is equal to or higher than this calculated number.
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Level | The innate level of a demon when first encountered or fused. | Level | 1 – 99 |
| Race | The demon’s family or type, which dictates fusion outcomes. | (Categorical) | e.g., Fairy, Foul, Divine, Dragon |
| Target Race | The resulting Race determined by the fusion chart. | (Categorical) | N/A |

Practical Examples
Example 1: Fusing Low-Level Demons
- Inputs: Demon 1: Pixie (Fairy, Level 2), Demon 2: Preta (Haunt, Level 3)
- Calculation: Intermediate Level = floor((2 + 3) / 2) + 1 = 3. The fusion of Fairy and Haunt results in a Night race demon.
- Result: The lowest-level Night demon with a base level of 3 or higher is Sandman (Level 8).
Example 2: A Mid-Level Fusion
- Inputs: Demon 1: Jack-o’-Lantern (Fairy, Level 20), Demon 2: Inugami (Beast, Level 24)
- Calculation: Intermediate Level = floor((20 + 24) / 2) + 1 = 23. The fusion of Fairy and Beast results in a Holy race demon.
- Result: The lowest-level Holy demon with a base level of 23 or higher is Shiisaa (Level 19), but since we need a higher level, the next is Unicorn. (Note: Real game data may vary; this is illustrative). Learning about the best demons SMT V Vengeance has to offer can guide your fusion choices.

- Calculate: Click the “Calculate Fusion” button.
- Review Results: The tool will display the resulting demon’s name, race, and base level. It also shows the intermediate calculated level to help you understand the process. A bar chart visually compares the levels of the demons involved.
- Reset: Click the “Reset” button to clear the inputs and start a new calculation.
Key Factors That Affect Demon Fusion
- Demon Race: The combination of races is the most critical factor, as it determines the race of the resulting demon.
- Base Level: As shown in the formula, the base levels of the ingredients directly influence the level of the resulting demon.
- Special Fusions: Some demons can only be created through specific, often multi-demon, combinations and are not subject to the standard formula. Our calculator accounts for a few common special fusions. A full special fusion guide SMT V is recommended for these.
- Player Level: You cannot fuse a demon whose base level is higher than your current protagonist’s level. The calculator does not account for your level, so keep that in mind.
- Fusion Accidents: Sometimes, fusions can “fail” and result in a different, random demon. These are rare and cannot be predicted by any shin megami tensei v vengeance fusion calculator.
- Unlocked Demons: Certain demons only become available for fusion after you defeat them in battle or complete specific side quests. Check out a guide to all abscess locations to make sure you’ve unlocked key areas.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Why can’t I fuse a demon that’s shown in the calculator?
- The most common reason is that your protagonist’s level is too low. You cannot create a demon with a base level higher than your own.
- What is a Dyad Fusion?
- Dyad Fusion is the standard two-demon fusion process that this calculator is based on.
- What about Reverse Fusion?
- Reverse Fusion allows you to see what demons you can make from your current stock and then shows you the ingredients. This tool is a “forward” calculator, where you provide the ingredients to see the result.
- How are Special Fusions different?
- Special Fusions require a specific set of 2 to 4 demons to create a powerful, unique result. They do not follow the normal fusion formula. For example, fusing King Frost, Baphomet, and Loa will always result in Black Frost.
- Does this calculator include all demons from the game?
- This calculator uses a representative subset of demons from SMT V: Vengeance to demonstrate the fusion mechanics. For a complete list, consulting a full demon compendium is advised.
- What happens if a fusion “ranks down”?
- If there is no demon of the target race at or above the calculated level, the game will typically select the highest-level demon of that race that is below the calculated level. This tool will indicate when no direct rank-up is available.
- Are DLC demons included?
- This calculator focuses on the base game demons. DLC-exclusive demons may have unique fusion properties not covered here.
- How accurate is the shin megami tensei v vengeance fusion calculator?
- The calculator’s logic is based on the well-established fusion mechanics of the Shin Megami Tensei series. For standard fusions, it is highly accurate. However, always double-check in-game before committing to a fusion.
