Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Fusion Arts: All Fusion Pairs

What Are Fusion Arts In Xenoblade Chronicles 3

As the name suggests, Fusion Arts are a fusion of Master Arts and Combat Arts. Using these arts strategically as often as possible is recommended due to their massive damage output, which can be essential for winning specific battles.

Getting Fusion Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a lengthy process as it requires class progression, but it is very much worth it. Players need to equip both Combat Arts and Master Arts at the same time. Both arts have three slots each. Thus, players can only equip 3 Fusion Arts at a time.

How To Equip Fusion Arts

In order to acquire Fusion Arts, the first step will be to equip Master Arts. Players can acquire Master Arts after mastering specific classes. Once they master a class, It will unlock a Master Art. 

Once players have obtained both Master Arts and Combat Arts, they only need to head into the Art section and equip the Master and Combat Arts of their choice. The arrangements of arts in the slots will change the nature of Fusion Arts; thus, trying different combinations is recommended.

Once both Combat Art and Master Art have been combined then, they will be mapped to the controls. Players can use the Fusion Arts by holding ZR and pressing the face button assigned to the Fusion Art during battle.

One thing to note is that players will keep their Master Arts even after switching classes. Meaning after mastering a certain class, players can switch classes to learn new Master Arts and experiment with different types of Fusion Arts.

If players wish to prioritize Fusion Arts during battles, then they need to hold ZL and select “Fusion First.” This will force the party to prioritize Fusion Arts by charging up and using them.

Upon usage, a cooldown period for Fusion Arts will start to prevent further usage until the cooldown is complete. It will always take the same amount of time to cool down every time unless a buff is used to decrease the cooldown duration.

Here, you can pair two Attack Arts to deal tremendous damage in a single move. We would recommend using this pairing if you wish to hit hard and end the fight quickly.

Buff Pairing

With this pairing, you can activate an offense buff and a defense buff at the same time to destroy your opponents, which makes it quite a deadly combo.

Healing Pairing

We would recommend using this pairing when your health is nearing its end because it can give you a massive health boost. 

Set Field Pairing

The Set Field Pairing is highly recommended if your allies are grouped together because then everyone can take advantage of the stacked Set Fields.
