Carnage (weapon) (2)

Learn how to master your weapons (Carnage) in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE! Discover skill inheritance, Bane skills, Carnage Unity, and strengthening bonuses to get the best gear.

Hey there! So, you've probably noticed your weapons, or 'Carnage' as they're called in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, have a bit of a leveling system. Every time you use one in combat, you gain 'mastery'. Once you hit certain mastery levels, you can learn new skills! It's a really good idea to keep an eye on these new skills as you unlock them, as they can really change up your combat strategy.

There are also these neat things called 'Bane skills'. Basically, they let you trigger a 'session' against specific enemy types, like dragons or horseback units, no matter their usual elemental affinities. So, if you have a 'horseslayer' skill, it'll trigger a session against any horseback enemy, provided it also matches the weapon's normal affinity. Super useful for exploiting weaknesses!

Now, let's talk about 'Carnage Unity'. This is where the real magic happens! It's a ritual where you fuse mirages with 'performa' (that stuff you get from defeating enemies) to create brand new Carnage. This is how you get the really powerful weapons and learn even more skills. Honestly, you absolutely need to make good use of Carnage Unity if you want to beat this game, so don't skip it!

You can perform these Carnage Unity rituals with Tiki over in the Bloom Palace. When you're looking at your Carnage, you can press Y to see what skills you can learn from it, or press X to check out the performa you'll need to make it happen. It's pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it.

Once you've learned every skill a particular Carnage has to offer, there's no point in sticking with it. If you have the chance to create a new weapon via Unity, I highly recommend heading back to the Bloom Palace and crafting it instead of just grinding with your mastered weapon. Also, always be mindful of your Carnage's affinities! You don't want to go into a tough area with a weapon that's going to put you at a disadvantage.

One last thing: sometimes, when you're about to strengthen a Carnage, it'll get a little gleam. This is a bonus chance to make its attack even stronger! To get this bonus, you'll need to use a bit more performa than usual. If you're not feeling it or low on resources, you can always skip the bonus and just do a normal Unity. Your call!
