PPQ:Power-up Fusion

Power-up Fusion

Power-up Fusion (パワーアップ合成) uses other cards as materials to strengthen the base card, destroying the materials in the process.

Strengthening Effect

Depending on the materials used, Power-up Fusion can strengthen the base cards in the following ways:

Card Level

Card Level (カードレベル) of a card is raised by giving it Card Experience (CXP) (カードけいけんち). The stats (HP, Attack and Recovery) of the card increases with every Card Level gained following a predetermined curve.

Almost all cards will grant CXP when fused in Power-up Fusion, with the exception of some material cards that have other special strengthening effects. Notable cards that grants large amounts of CXP include:

• Material Puyos are highly accessible materials available from many quests, events and campaigns
• Exclusive transformation materials for event characters can be fused in Power-up Fusion for the same CXP as Material Puyos of the same rarity

Material Puyo	★1	★2	★3	★4	★5	★6	★6	★6
Exclusive Tf. Materials	★1	★2	★3	★4	★5	★6
CXP Granted	500	1000	2000	4000	12K	60K	300k	1.5M

• Certain special cards from Paprisu Village, campaigns and collaborations give more CXP that normal character cards

(work in progress)

CXP Granted	Cards	Series
60,000
180,000
300,000

In addition, fusing cards with matching characteristics as the base card in Power-up Fusion gives bonus CXP than normal (stacked additively):

• Same main color as the base card: +50%
• Exact same card as the base card (character and rarity): +50%

Big Success in Power-up Fusion

The result of Power-up Fusion can be either "Success" (成功) or "Big Success" (大成功).

• For normal players, a Power-up Fusion attempt may be "Big Success" at a designated rate and gives double CXP. The rate may be increased for a limited time during certain campaigns.
• For PuyoQuest Pass holders, all Power-up Fusion attempts are guaranteed to be "Big Success" and gives four times CXP.

Other than Power-up Fusion, a card can also gain Card Experience by being used in Story Quests or used as Farm Helper.

Skill Level/Battle Skill Level

Skill Level (スキルレベル) of a card with (active) Skill is raised by giving it Skill Experience (SXP) (スキルけいけんち). Every Skill Level gained reduces the number of Puyo pops needed to activate the skill by one, up to a maximum of five. A similar system exists for Battle Skills with Battle Skill Level (バトルスキルレベル) and Battle Skill Experience (BSXP) (バトルスキルけいけんち).

Skill Lv/ Battle Skill Lv	Lv.1	Lv.2	Lv.3	Lv.4	Lv.5
SXP/BXP Needed
From Previous	50	100	250	400	700
Total	50	150	400	800	1500

SXP/BSXP are mainly granted by fusing the same or equivalent characters of the base card in Power-up Fusion, based on the rarity of the fused card. If the fused card was previously given SXP/BSXP, those experience points will be transferred to the base card.

Fused Card Rarity	★1	★2	★3	★4	★5	★6	★7
SXP/BSXP Granted	5	10	50	100	200	400	800

Aside from same/equivalent characters, only a small number of cards (Skill Pusler, Purple Book of Secrets, Daikichi Paprisu) grants SXP/BSXP to any card.

Card	★3	★4	★5	★6	★3	★4	★5	★6	★5
SXP/BSXP Granted	2	5	10	20	50	100	200	500	50

Plus Bonus

Plus Bonus (プラスボーナス) further increases the stats of a card beyond its normal growth curve. Plus Bonus may be attached to either HP, Attack or Recovery to increase that stat. A card can have a maximum of +100 Plus Bonus attached on each stat, or a total of +300.

Attached Stat	HP	Attack	Recovery
Stat Increment
Per +1	+10	+5	+2
MAX (+100)	+1000	+500	+200

In Power-up Fusion, Plus Bonus attached to the fused cards are transferred to the base card (unless the maximum is reached, in which the excess Plus Bonus will be discarded). Notable cards that grant Plus Bonus include:

Attack Plus Bonus
Card	★3	★4	★5	★6	★3	★4	★5	★6
Plus Bonus	+1	+2	+3	+5	+6	+12	+24	+48

Cost of Power-up Fusion

Power-up Fusion costs Coins (コイン) to complete. The cost is calculated in two parts: the basic cost charged for each fused card, and a Plus Bonus additional cost for the whole fusion.

Example			Basic Cost	Plus Bonus Additional Cost
Base card	Lv.25	HP+5 ATK+5 RCV+5
Fused cards	Lv.1	ATK+5	25×10	HP Plus Bonus (N/A, no HP Plus Bonus attached to fused character cards) ATK Plus Bonus (5+5) ×500 RCV Plus Bonus (5+96) 100 ×500
	Lv.1	RCV+96	25×25
	Lv.70		25×100
	×10		(25×100) ×10
	×1	HP+8 ATK+8 RCV+8	25×100
Total Cost			30,875 coins	55,000 coins
			= 85,875 coins

Basic Cost

The basic cost charged for each fused card is determined by the base card's card level, and the fused cards' types and rarities:

(base multiplier) × (original Card Level of base card)

Fused Card Type/Rarity	Character card							Material card
	★1	★2	★3	★4	★5	★6	★7
Multiplier	10	25	100	100	100	100	100	100

Plus Bonus Additional Cost

The Plus Bonus additional cost is charged for each stat (HP/Attack/Recovery) that fused character cards have Plus Bonus attached. This additional cost is determined by:

(Final Plus Bonus of that stat on the base card after fusion, max 100) ×500

Using material cards (Pusler, Book of Secrets) to attach Plus Bonus to the base card does not incur additional cost. If both character cards and material cards are fused at the same time, Plus Bonus contributed by fused material cards is excluded from the calculation.

Selecting Cards to Fuse

Players can select up to 10 character cards or material cards (in stacks of up to 99 of the same card) at one time in Power-up Fusion. The game will show the expected resultant Card Level, Skill Level and Battle Skill Level as each card is selected.

Note that certain cards are greyed out and cannot be selected to be fused in Power-up Fusion:

• Cards that contribute to none of the four strengthening effects
• Cards that are otherwise locked from being fused or sold, for example:
  • Characters that are limited to one per player and have no other ways to obtain if disposed (including Spacetime Detective Series)
  • Event characters of the currently ongoing event

Automatic Fusion Settings

Players can also choose to use Automatic Fusion (おまかせ合成) to have same-color Material Puyos automatically selected relative to the CXP needed to reach maximum Card Level. Players can specify the types of Material Puyos used by Automatic Fusion from the Automatic Fusion Settings (おまかせ合成設定) pop-up (gear button).
