I think it only works for the first kill, I could be wrong though.

I think since you combined them you still get the exp for the first character insted of the exp rising per lvl

Ok, a few things...

Are they the same time of monster?
Did the first one have more felonies than the second?
Was the actual EXP amount the same, or just the level?

So far as I know, the triple EXP should trigger on the combined enemy but it still needs to the very first enemy killed in the fight.

I found what was the problem...

If one of your characters is killed before you kill the first enemy, the bonus is wasted. So, it's not a bug, only an obscure rule.

Yeah, that'd do it. Because the game is awarding the EXP to whoever killed that unit, even if it's the enemy killing your party member.

Huh... I always just assumed that the bonus was wasted because you "killed" the first enemy when you fused the first enemy with another (or vice versa), and since you get no EXP from that, 3*0 = 0. But that also makes a lot of sense. I'll have to run some numbers to see if it's still the case even if none of your party members is killed, but that seems promising.

Tripple Exp is definitely bugged. I tried it myself. CoO 1 no "stronger monster" buffs.

What I did:
0. Make a save before even entering.
1. Kill the fused archer without tripple exp. Look at the results, wrote down the exp values and level.
2. Reload the save, get the tripple exp buff, kill the fused archer, looked at the exp values.

0 difference. tripple exp did nothing.
I just now did another test, just to make sure someone else didn't get the tripple exp for killing the GEO nodes. I did this by reloading that save a second time and going in with tripple exp buff, but making sure the only thing killed is by the same exact character, this character didn't even throw any of the archers so neemoos theory does not apply here, unless some other character triggered the tripple exp by merging archers.

Came out exactly the same. Tripple exp is bugged, don't even bother wasting your mana and time in court on it.

I did this entire test at least twice (that is including the run where i don't destroy any geo nodes) as I overwrote a save when i did this with the first character and wasn't sure anymore if the very first run was in fact without the tripple exp buff. So I did it again using a different character. There is no doubt in my mind, it's bugged.

neemoos above me still has a pretty good theory as to why this might be. But I'm not going to make another test for that.

The only way this tripple exp thing could still work is if some other character triggered it when it killed a node AND/or fused an archer. At which point this buff is all but useless unless there's a map with a strong singular monster that gives good exp. Even then it might not work.

Huh, a 3 year old necro... but I suppose it's better than making another topic about the same thing. Props for recycling.

Anyway, I still don't have an answer for this (if I did at some point, I forgot. I can't even remember if I ended up testing it or not). But I do know that destroying geopanels (along with stuff like chests) consumes the 3xEXP bill. Also, somewhat recently, Vaendryl.NL discovered that anything that grants EXP consumes the bill, such as using healing/support skills (link for the original thread: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/495280/discussions/0/2274827383924632995/).
