What are Arts?

Techniques Used to Defeat Enemies and Support Allies

Arts are techniques ranging from Attacks to Support skills that you can use in battle. These are used to dish out stronger damage to enemies, as well as provide support to allies such as buffs and healing.

Characters can use various Arts depending on their respective classes, roles, and forms. The wide variety of Arts available allows you create a battle strategy that suits every possible predicament.

Arts Brief Explanation and Showcase

Assigned to a Face Button

Each Art is assigned to a face button, allowing for easy access during pinch moments, as well as times wherein players need to unleash hard-hitting attacks.

After using an Art, the skill will cool down before it can be used again.

Types of Arts

Combat	Talent	Master
Fusion	Ouroboros	Enemy

Combat Arts

Lanz knocking down an enemy using a Combat Art.

Combat Arts are skills that are geared towards offense. These range from abilities that can buff attacks, or even attacks that deal more damage than regular blows.

Some Combat Arts have effects such as being able to topple foes, rendering them defenseless for a short period of time.

Talent Arts

Talent Arts are special skills that can be unleashed upon filling up the charge gauge around its Arts icon.

The parameters to fill up these Talent Art gauges vary, with some requiring consistent dodging of enemy attacks or even successfully landing attacks in various ways.

All Talent Arts for Each Class

Master Arts

Noah using the Master Art, Overclock Buster!

Master Arts are skills that are unlocked upon maxing out a class. These Master Arts are not class-locked, which means characters will be able to keep these abilities even after switching classes.

All Classes and Roles

Fusion Arts

Fusion Arts are skills that combine two Arts and stack its effects together. For example, a character can use a Combart Art on top of being buffed or healed by another Art.

Being able to mix and match these Arts will be the key to utilizing the effects of every skill and bring out the best of your characters in battle.

Ouroboros Arts

Ouroboros Arts are skills that can be unleashed only when characters are in their Ouroboros forms. These Arts provide massive enemies to enemies and can also be charged up much like Talent Arts.

All Ouroboros Arts and How to Unlock

Enemy Arts

Enemy Arts are special Arts used by monsters and enemies. Once you have unlocked the Soulhacker class in Chapter 5, you can steal these Arts and use them on your own characters.

In order to unlock Enemy Arts, you'll need to defeat different Unique Mosnters scattered across the map.
