The game has earned a great response from the community so far, selling a million copies in only a week. Players have been sharing various moments from the game on social media, but one person\u2019s video of how they accidentally acquired Satan, one of the highest-level Personas in the game, is particularly astonishing. The incident has sparked a lot of curiosity about fusion failure and how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PERSoNA\/comments\/1al6vm8\/um_so_this_just_happened\/\">um so this just happened<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Flamerock51\/\">u\/Flamerock51<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PERSoNA\/\">PERSoNA<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Reddit user u\/Flamerock51 shared this video of them attempting to fuse a level 13 Tam Lin through special fusion, only to end up with Satan, a powerful level 82 Persona. But how does one accidentally summon Satan? It\u2019s all due to what\u2019s known as a fusion accident. In Persona 3 Reload, persona fusion works as simply as it always has \u2013 by combining two or more personas (depending on fusion type) to create a new, more powerful one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as revealed in-game, fusion is influenced by the phase of the moon \u2013 the skills a Persona will inherit through fusion will depend on the current moon phase. Furthermore, fusing on a New Moon can lead to increased chances of a fusion accident occurring. These accidents are random, and so are their results \u2013 you can end up with either a downgrade or an upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1513\" height=\"1021\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1513px) 100vw, 1513px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-001-1.png\" alt=\"Velvet Room in Persona 3 Reload\" class=\"wp-image-26981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-001-1.png 1513w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-001-1-380x256.png 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-001-1-768x518.png 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-001-1-600x405.png 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, most people who experience fusion failures do not have the freak luck of creating a Persona more than 50 levels higher than intended. In fact, the majority of players seem to have bitter memories of losing solidly strong Personas to a fusion accident, ending up with a Level 1 Orpheus or similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why saving your game before fusing might not be a bad idea. On the other hand, some players are tempted to save-spam until they encounter a winning-fusion accident, which is also a fun approach (albeit with low odds). When accidents happen, you will not be able to skip the fusion animation, which is how you\u2019ll know you\u2019re in for one. For reference, in Persona 3, the odds for a fusion accident were 1\/64 for Normal (equivalent to Dyad Fusion in Reload) and 1\/32 for Triangle fusion (equivalent to Special Fusion in Reload). It is not clear if these odds are the same in Reload or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1196\" height=\"627\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1196px) 100vw, 1196px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-header.-001jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Persona 3 Reload key art\" class=\"wp-image-26980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-header.-001jpg.jpg 1196w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-header.-001jpg-380x199.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-header.-001jpg-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240209-26974-header.-001jpg-600x315.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/asia.sega.com\/p3r\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Persona 3 Reload <\/a>is available for the PS4\/PS5, Xbox One\/Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Microsoft Office) and can be played via Game Pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Persona 3 Reload player accidentally ended up with Satan, a level 82 Persona, while trying to acquire a level 13 one.
