Fused Materials are a valuable currency in Cassette Beasts, acquired primarily through defeating Rogue Fusions, completing quests, and opening specific chests. These materials are essential for unlocking powerful upgrades and enhancements at the Rangers Guild.

How to Obtain Fused Materials:

• Defeating Rogue Fusions: These tougher battles yield higher rewards, including Fused Materials.
• Quests and Milestones: Speak to the researcher in the Rangers Guild who rewards you with Fused Materials every 10 new monsters you record.
• Exploration: Certain chests scattered throughout the world may contain Fused Materials.

Spending Fused Materials:

Wilma at the Rangers Guild offers a wide range of upgrades in exchange for Fused Materials. Here are some notable items:

Recording and Fusion Enhancements:

• Optical Laser Tape: Acts like a Master Ball.
• Ritual Candle: Used to influence bootleg hunting (chance of generating bootlegs when sacrificing a tape).
• Fusion Meter Mods: Boost Fusion meter gains from crits, type advantages, or victories.
• Recording Mod: Increases recording success when Fusion meter is full.

Utility and Inventory Upgrades:

• Cassette Player Mic Upgrade: Improves capture rate.
• Inventory Expansions: Increases capacity for rewinds and other items.
• Discount Cards and Merchant Stock Boosts: Adds more items or discounts to vendors.

Overworld Ability Perks (Applied in Battle):

• Dash Damage: Dash inflicts damage at battle start.
• Bonus AP: Gain AP when entering battle.
• Plant Wall: Grants a defensive wall at battle start.

Stat Reallocation (Gym Pass Required):

Once you’ve defeated six Ranger Captains, you can purchase the Gym Pass. This allows you to:

• Reallocate Player Stats: Use an extra gym point (acquired via Fused Materials) to shift points between HP, melee, ranged, speed, defense, and resistance.
• Optimize Builds: Boost key stats depending on the combat role of your character.

Tips:

• Don’t ignore Rogue Fusions. They drop Fused Materials and fused monsters split after defeat for potential new recordings.
• Save Fused Materials for essential upgrades first, like the Cassette Player mic and extra inventory.
• Combine the Recording Mod with mic upgrades for peak capture efficiency.

Fused Materials are integral to powering up both your cassette arsenal and your own character. Prioritize wisely and experiment with different upgrades to suit your playstyle.
