Fuse Oberon with Mazio in Persona 3 Reload

Persona 3 Reload brings the classic fusion system into a modern remake, allowing players to craft powerful Personas like Oberon of the Emperor Arcana. One of the earliest challenges from Elizabeth involves creating this Persona with the multi-target electric skill Mazio. This task unlocks around May 10th and rewards valuable cosmetics, making it a key early-game milestone.

Understanding Elizabeth’s Fusion Requests

Elizabeth’s requests add structure to your Tartarus climbs and Velvet Room visits. Fusion Series #1 targets Oberon with Mazio, emphasizing the importance of skill inheritance and leveling. Unlike direct combat quests, these demand precise Persona combinations and post-fusion grinding. Success here teaches core mechanics like Arcana bonuses from Social Links, setting the foundation for tougher fusions later.

Requests become available after specific story progress, typically post-May 10th. Head to the blue door in Tartarus or Paulownia Mall’s Velvet Room to accept them. Completing them yields unique items, experience, and deeper game knowledge.

Oberon’s Profile and Abilities

Oberon starts at level 16 with balanced stats suited for early-game support and offense. Its innate skills include Zio for single-target electricity and Media for party healing, making it versatile in Tartarus’ initial blocks.

Mazio unlocks at level 17, dealing light electric damage to all foes—ideal against groups in Thebel or Arqa blocks. Further levels bring Zan-ei (slash), Survive Dark, and Zionga. Oberon resists Light and Dark while nulling Electricity, but watch for Ice and Light weaknesses.

Simple Fusion Recipes for Oberon

Multiple dyad fusions yield Oberon, accessible early without high levels. Prioritize pairs from Shuffle Time to minimize grinding.

• Slime (Chariot) + Ara Mitama (Chariot): Easiest option. Slime appears in Arqa’s early floors; Ara Mitama in Thebel Shuffle Time. Both common, fuse at level 16.
• Pixie (Lovers) + Nekomata (Magician): Alternative using starter Personas. Pixie from entry floors; Nekomata via fusion or capture.
• Lilim (Devil) + Unicorn (Hierophant): Reliable mid-early pair. Unicorn on Tartarus floors 1-20; Lilim fuseable by May.
• Silky (Priestess) + Archangel (Justice): Quick early access if you have these cards.

Dyad Fusion in the Velvet Room combines two Personas. Ensure your protagonist is level 16+ to register Oberon.

Acquiring Fusion Ingredients

Tartarus Shuffle Time is your primary source. Thebel (floors 1-16) drops Ara Mitama and Unicorn; Arqa (17-28) has Slime. Explore nightly, prioritizing blue cards for captures.

• Ara Mitama: Thebel Shuffle Time—aggressive fighter weak to Zio.
• Slime: Arqa low floors—physical attacker, easy electric prey.
• Unicorn: Floors 1-20—capture via negotiation or All-Out Attacks.
• Lilim/others: Fuse lowers if not found wild.

Stock extras; fusions consume materials. Use the Compendium if you’ve registered these early.

Unlocking Mazio on Oberon

Oberon learns Mazio naturally at level 17, just above its base 16. Fresh fusions often start at 17 due to material EXP, auto-learning the skill.

If not, battle in Tartarus. Pair with party members exploiting enemy weaknesses for fast EXP. Use items like Skill Cards if available later, but leveling suffices early.

Leveraging Emperor Social Link

Hidetoshi’s Emperor Arcana Link (starts June) boosts fusions. Higher ranks grant extra levels to Emperor results, potentially starting Oberon at 17+ with Mazio innate.

• Rank 1-3: Minor EXP bonus.
• Rank 4+: Reliable level-ups, instant Mazio possible.

Prioritize Hidetoshi dates for fusion efficiency. Even low ranks help.
