Best Arts for Liesel

Arts
(Left)
Spiral Horn Icon Arcing Horn Icon Effect Charge Icon Trident Buster Icon
Arts
(Right)
Primer Icon Early Bird Icon Violent Streak Icon Ghostwalker Icon

Liesel's arts on the left is her melee combo, which maximizes electric damage. Use Spiral Horn followed by Arcing Horn for boosted damage in melee combos and to lower the enemy's electric resistance, then Effect Charge to trigger a ranged combo for the Trident Buster's boosted damage upon execution.

Effect Charge can also be used before executing any of her left-side arts, as they're all combo-based. This ensures that their special effects will apply.

Her remaining arts on the right will boost her crit damage and crit chance. Take advantage of her boosted crits by using Violent Streak to restore TP on crit. Ghostwalker is included for Decoy, but it can be replaced with Raijin to further increase crit chance and restore HP when using arts.

14 Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition Electric BoostElectric Boost Boosts electric damage
13 Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition Conductive StrikeConductive Strike Boosts electric damage to Shocked enemies

Electric Boost and Conductive Strike make a strong pair for electric-based damage, as Liesel has two arts that inflict Electric damage on enemies. Electric Boost can be replaced with Knock 'n' Shock to increase the chances of inflicting Shock, maximizing the boosted electic damage to shocked enemies from Conductive Strike.

Trigger Happy is a vital skill since it lowers the cooldown of Arts upon triggering a ranged combo. Liesel's arts on the right-side of the palette will surely trigger a ranged combo, since they consist of ranged-based arts, effectively activating Trigger Happy's effect.
