I didn't use a specific guide, I just made sure to get Personas of different arcanas and see what I could make with them. If a certain combination allowed me to get a Persona of the Judgement Arcana, I made sure to remember the combination.

But basically, it's like this:

-Each Persona belongs to an Arcana. You can fuse 2 Personas. The resulting Persona depends on the added level of the 2 sacrificed Personas divided by 2. The resulting Persona will be the closest lower-leveled Persona whose LV is the nearest to the resulting Lv. However, if the resulting Lv is higher than that resulting Persona's, then you will instead be able to create the next closest lower-leveled Persona in that same arcana.

For example, you fuse X from the Magician, and Y from Chariot, you get W from Strength. X and Y are Lv 12 and 34 respectively, so you get in total 46, which means the result is 23. W is Lv 22, and since the resulting Lv is higher than W's base level, you will instead be able to get Z, who is also of strength but whose base level is 35.

-The arcana of the resulting Persona depends entirely on the arcanas of the fused Personas. Some arcanas can't even be fused with each other. That's where you'll need a guide.

-The formula when fusing 3 Personas is the same, only divided by 3.

-When fusing Personas, the game only utilizes their Base Level, the one they start with. Any increases in Level won't change the result you would get from fusing 2 Personas, because their Base levels stay the same.

-Personas leveling up uppon being obtained through fusion thanks to Social Links do not increase a Persona's Base Level. I'm not saying leveling them up is worthless, you should still do it for the result to get better skills.

-Skills Personas get when obtained through fusion are shown to you before choosing to carry it out, in green. These are completely random and depend on certain things, such as what kind of skill the Persona can get from it's "parents". If you don't like the result, return to the Persona-selection screen, re-choose again the 2nd Persona, and the heridated skills of the result should change somewhat. Key to increasing Margaret's Social Link.

-You can use Personas of a higher level than you, but you can't get them if you are of a lower level than their Base level, except through Compedium.
