Shared passives and level requirements

A single Lightning Bolt can satisfy both Storm Bolter and Crozius Arcanum evolutions in a 40K run. Other shared passives often connect different universes, so their recipes are alternative uses across runs rather than two weapons you can automatically assemble together.

One passive for two 40K results

Weapon at level 8	Shared passive	Result
Storm Bolter	Lightning Bolt, any level	Assault Cannon
Crozius Arcanum	Lightning Bolt, any level	Benediction of Fury

One held Lightning Bolt satisfies both companion checks. You still need each weapon at level 8 and separate eligible reward opportunities. One passive does not cause one chest to grant every possible evolution at once.

Suppose Storm Bolter is level 8, Crozius is level 7 and Lightning Bolt is level 1. Taking Crozius’s final level completes its weapon requirement. Taking another Lightning Bolt level improves projectile speed but is unnecessary for either companion check.

This comparison concerns recipe readiness. The immediate projectile-speed benefit can still be useful; it is a different consequence from completing the recipe.

Shared passives across universes

Passive	40K route	Age of Sigmar route
Tape Measure	Chainsword	Grandblade
Bugman’s Tankard	Shield of Faith	Nebulous Sea-Fog
Dice Cube	Boltgun	Boltstorm Pistol
Glue	Flamer	Mystical Ward

These rows help reuse knowledge when changing universe. They do not put both base weapons into one ordinary run. Filter the evolution finder by universe before planning equipment slots.

Maximum-level exceptions

Power Klaw requires maximum Da Lucky Stikk for Bale Eye. Power Fist requires maximum Codex Astartes for Gauntlets of Ultramar. Ardent Blade requires maximum Tactical Rock for Weapon of the Matriarch.

In Age of Sigmar, Stormcharged Warhammer requires Tactical Rock level 9 for Uskavar. The next step requires Uskavar level 5 and Null Pendant level 5 for Ghal Maraz. This is a much larger upgrade commitment than acquiring one level of an ordinary companion passive.

Preserve required companions

Before using Banish or Seal, check the actual intended results. Removing an unfinished required passive can obstruct the route; adding an unrelated source of the same stat does not satisfy the equipment check.

Selection controls explains those scopes. The database records maximum levels, effects and unlock objectives. Ghal Maraz gives the full two-stage route without treating its two passive requirements as interchangeable.
