Introducing Fusion System
  • Fusion System

  • This system allows you to fuse materials you possess to obtain new items. The types and quantities of materials required are determined by each item's crafting recipe.

  • Fusion Method

  • If there are fusable material items in your inventory, the materials will be automatically added. Select the desired item to proceed with crafting!

  • Fusion Steps: refer to the [Fusion System Preview] page for details.

  • Materials used in the fusion process will be removed.

  • Material items are automatically selected from the items you own.

  • Items currently equipped or in use cannot be used as a material.

Fusion Items

  • Giga Break LE

  • Type: Primary Weapon (Equipment)

  • A weapon that wrangles and releases potentially infinite power. However, it is difficult to control, so only a limited amount of power can be used at a time. Performing consecutive basic attacks releases energy. Swinging the weapon twice in succession creates an Overflow-Alpha state, allowing temporarily enhanced basic attacks. Using the charged Special Ammo creates an Overflow-Beta state, enabling a longer sequence of enhanced attacks. Additionally, in Zombie Mode and Zombie Scenario Mode, the Wingman protects the user.

  • Fusion Recipe: While having multiple Giga Break weapons in possession, you can use the extra Giga Break weapon(s) as Fusion materials to obtain a Giga Break LE.

  • This item has a different appearance. Otherwise, it has the same specifications as the Giga Break.

  • This recipe costs just 1 extra Giga Break to convert it into LE version.

  • Epic Fortune Ticket

  • This ticket lets you choose one of several Epic Weapons and Epic Edition Weapons from the past.

  • Fusion Recipe: Red Envelope x3

  • Any unused tickets will be removed during maintenance on 4/15.

  • (Fusion Material) Red Envelope

  • Description: A Red Envelope from which you can obtain an Epic Fortune Ticket. Fuse 3 to obtain an Epic Fortune Ticket, which lets you choose one of several Epic Weapons and Epic Edition Weapons from the past.

  • The Red Envelope can only be obtained during the event period.

  • Any unused envelopes will be removed during maintenance on 4/15.

  • Giga Vision Glasses

  • A pair of glasses that look like the Giga Break's light. Can be equipped in the Head slot.

  • Fusion Recipe: Glass Shard x5

  • (Fusion Material) Glass Shard

  • A Glass Shard from which you can obtain the Giga Vision Glasses. Fuse 5 to obtain Giga Vision Glasses (Permanent).

  • Glass Shards can only be obtained during the event period.

  • All unused shards will be removed during maintenance on 4/15.
