Carnage (weapon)

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

Alright, let's talk about your weapons in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, which the game calls 'Carnage'. Think of these as your main way to dish out damage, and getting the best ones and learning their secrets is super important. You'll be messing with these a lot, so let's break down what makes them tick.

Skill Inheritance: Every time you use a weapon in combat, you build up its mastery. Once you hit certain mastery levels, you'll unlock new skills. It's a good idea to check your weapons regularly to see what new tricks you've learned. Don't just stick with the same old thing; keep an eye out for new skills!

Bane Skills: These are pretty neat. Bane skills let you trigger a 'Session' attack against specific enemy classes, like dragons or horseback enemies, no matter what their usual elemental affinities are. So, if you have a 'Horseslayer' skill, it'll always start a Session against a horseback mirage, provided you hit it. Just remember, these Bane skills still have their own normal weapon affinities, so keep that in mind.

Carnage Unity: This is where things get really interesting. Carnage Unity is basically a crafting system where you fuse 'mirages' with 'performa' (items dropped by enemies) to create brand new weapons. This is how you get the really powerful Carnage and learn even more skills. Honestly, you *need* to make good use of this system to beat the game, so don't shy away from it!

You can perform a Carnage Unity ritual with Tiki at the Bloom Palace.

Checking Carnage Details: When you're looking at your weapons, you can hover over a piece of Carnage. Pressing 'Y' will show you all the skills you can learn from it, while pressing 'X' will show you the specific performa you need to craft it. This is super helpful for planning your upgrades.

When to Try Other Carnage: Once you've learned every skill a particular weapon has to offer, it's pretty much maxed out. If you have the chance to craft a new weapon via Carnage Unity, it's usually a good idea to head back to the Bloom Palace and make something new instead of sticking with a mastered weapon. Keep an eye on the affinities of your weapons, too – you don't want to go into a tough area with a weapon that's weak against the enemies there.

Carnage Strengthening Bonus: Sometimes, when you're about to strengthen a weapon using Carnage Unity, you'll notice it gleams. This is a special bonus chance! If you go for it, you can increase the weapon's attack power even more. To get this bonus, you'll need to use a bit more performa than usual. If you'd rather save your performa, you can skip the bonus and just do a normal strengthening.
