	Players can fuse once they reach [[Relationship]] level 1 with a [[partner]]. Prior to doing so, the player is forced to experience fusion with their partner during certain quest-related battles. Once the player is at least relationship level 2, the fusion-exclusive move [[Fusion Power]] becomes available. Fusion Power requires 10 AP to use, is often powerful and induces a status effect. Its exact nature (base damage, status effects, physicality, and if it hits a all enemies or only a single target) depends on the components, coming in many varieties, such as Spike, Bomb, Sword, Axe, Wheel, Beam, Meteor, Wheel, and Smash.

	Because of this, it is possible to manipulate the timing of the fusion and what tapes they will fuse with. For example, NPCs can be tricked into fusing when one of its components is under the effects [[Gambit (status effect)\|Gambit]] or [[Ghostly]] (which some Captains utilize), which will cause them to knock themselves out sooner. The player can also choose to leave one member's tape at low health and only focus on attacking the other, so that by the time they fuse the fusion already has a lower HP.

Alternatively, the player can also potentially prevent NPCs from fusing altogether by knocking out 2 tapes at once, leaving only one tape left for them both.

Orb Fusions are styled as proto-[[Archangel]]s, and the fights with them include the Archangel musical theme [[Same Old Story]] and glitch effects.

	When engaged, the fusion is protected by an Orb, which obscures the monster (albeit its components can be deduced based on its name and types). The player must first break the Orb, serving as an entire additional health bar. Whilst enveloped in the Orb, the fusion will use Archangel mechanics: its AP won't be consumed by moves, and once it hits a full bar it will attempt to use Fusion Power. The Orb also provides Archangel immunity to certain ~~debuffs~~ such as [[~~Petrified~~]] and [[~~Sleep~~]]. Once the orb breaks, the Fusion will be exposed and it will start to consume AP normally and lose archangel immunity, but it will be unharmed and able to fight immediately.

	~~Any damage~~ the player or partner takes adds to the fill level by an amount proportional to a sixth of the percent health lost. Mathematically,		There are two separate formulas used. The first one is used whenever the player or partner takes damage but does not take overspill damage. This damage adds to the fill level by an amount proportional to a sixth of the percent health lost. Mathematically,

	<math>\text{FillDamage} = \frac{\text{Damage}}{6 \times \text{MaxHP} } \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{FusionMeterMods} }{20}\right)</math>		<math>\text{FillDamage} = \frac{\text{Damage}}{6 \times \text{MaxHP} } \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{FusionMeterMods} }{20}\right)</math>

If the character is untransformed, it instead is based on the ~~current~~ overspill HP:		where <math>\text{MaxHP}</math> is the tape's max HP, and <math>\text{FusionMeterMods}</math> is the number of Fusion Meter Mod upgrades bought.

			If the character's tape breaks from the incoming damage, or is untransformed, it instead is based on the remaining overspill HP after taking damage:

	<math>\text{FillDamage} = \frac{\text{Damage}}{6 \times \text{OverspillHP } } \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{FusionMeterMods} }{20}\right)</math>		<math>\text{FillDamage} = \frac{\text{Damage}}{6 \times \text{OverspillHP } } \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{FusionMeterMods} }{20}\right)</math>
Line 53:		Line 55:
	Because this scales with the current overspill HP and not the Max HP, this means that untransformed characters taking damage fill up the fusion meter faster the lower their current health is.		Because this scales with the current overspill HP and not the Max HP, this means that untransformed characters taking damage fill up the fusion meter faster the lower their current health is.

	~~As an example, if the~~ player receives 30 damage and their current tape has a max HP of 500~~, the~~ fusion meter will fill up by 30/~~3000~~ = 1%. If the player purchased 5 ~~upgrades~~, this fills up the fusion meter by 1.25%; with 20 Fusion Meter mods, the fill amount is 2% instead.		Some examples:

			* The player receives 30 damage and their current tape has a max HP of 500. The fusion meter will fill up by 30/(6*500) = 1%. If the player purchased 5 Fusion Meter mods, this fills up the fusion meter by 1.25%; with 20 Fusion Meter mods, the fill amount is 2% instead.

			* The player is untransformed with 120 HP left and takes 70 damage, surviving with 50 HP overspill. the fusion meter will fill up by 70/(6*50) = 23.33% before accounting for upgrades. With max upgrades, this goes up to 46.67%.

	~~For another example~~, If the player ~~is untransformed~~ with ~~120~~ HP left and takes 60 damage, the fusion meter ~~will fill~~ up by 60/~~480~~ = 12.5% ~~before accounting for upgrades~~. ~~With max upgrades~~, this ~~goes up to 25%~~.		* The player is healthy at 500 Max HP for overspill and their current tape only has 70 HP left. They receive 300 damage, and because this breaks the tape, 210 HP is dealt in overspill damage, meaning the player survives with 290 overspill HP left. This fills up the fusion meter by 300/(6*290) = 17.24%.
			* Consider the previous example but this time the current tape has 200 HP and the player takes 410 damage. This breaks the tape, still leaving the player with 290 HP in overspill. This time, however, the fusion meter fills up by 410/(6*290) = 23.56%. Even though in both examples the player has the same amount of overspill HP, this case results in a higher fill level.

Certain Cassette NPCs, notably [[Ranger Captain]]s during rematches, will also use fuse when down to their last two tapes. Other NPCs such as trainees and challengers from the [[Ranger Noticeboard]] will also fuse under similar conditions. They will not unfuse voluntarily, and will be unable to fuse if there are not enough tapes for the second NPC character to use. NPC Fusions have access to [[Fusion Power]].

	Because of this, it is possible to manipulate the timing of the fusion and what tapes they will fuse with. For example, NPCs can be tricked into fusing when one of its components is under the effects [[Gambit (status effect)\|Gambit]] or [[Ghostly]] (which some Captains utillize), which will cause them to knock themselves out sooner. The player can also choose to leave one member's tape at low health and only focus on attacking the other, so that by the time they fuse the fusion already has a lower HP.
