The Fusion Blade, also known as Fusion Sword in EBF4, is a Bomb-elemental sword available for Matt in Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5. In EBF4, it is exclusive to the Steam release of the game and the Premium Pack.

Description

In Epic Battle Fantasy 4, it is a massive, bulky blade resembling a giant Bowie knife. It has three small openings along the cutting edge of the blade, revealing orange-glowing energy or radioactive material within. These openings are connected to intricate designs on the flat of the blade that resemble patterns on a circuit board. The hilt is barely distinguishable from the blade, but appears to incorporate a small fusion reactor (hence the sword's name), wires, and a pair of tubes/exhaust pipes. The cross-guard is small and nondescript.

In terms of stats, the Fusion Sword provides a high Attack boost and an average Magic Attack boost alongside a bonus to HP and physical Defence at the cost of a significant Evade loss. Elementally, it provides resistance to both Fire and Bomb, and can inflict the not-so-valuable Burn status with weapon-elemental skills. While the weapon does boost Bomb-elemental abilities, Matt cannot learn any, so it basically only affects Hand Bomb and the Big Blast the sword may randomly cast with single-target and centered weapon-elemental skills.

In Epic Battle Fantasy 5, it received a massive redesign. It was made more slick and smaller, and now looks more like a sword more than a giant Bowie knife. The blade's color was changed to black, now resembling Cosmic Monolith's design, and the edge appears to be red and cherry hot. The blade and the hilt are now separated by a cross-guard that has a fan inside it.

The Fusion Blade does not affect HP, Defence or Evade anymore, simply giving solid Attack and Magic Attack bonuses. It retains its elemental resistances and now also resists Bio. It's still able to inflict Burn, though the status itself is stronger in this game. Its Bomb abilities boost is also more useful this time around, as Matt now has access to a shared physical Bomb skill. Additionally, it has gained a new quirk of ignoring enemy defensive buffs with weapon-elemental skills, which makes it useful against enemies with resistance to Dispel or debuffs.
