Tales of Xillia Leia the Slaya Character Guide v1.35 by Xiaoyu 420 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- So you wanna turn your Leia into a Slaya? Let me say this first so i can reitterate it later. NO mashing! Leia must be played deliberately in order to work. Only one input should be required for each attack/arte. If you are here for better combo ability then you must learn the individual input timing for each attack and arte. Like anything else she will take practice and time to master. I will be covering Leia, her full battle potential and everything it entails. I will be making more version's covering more in depth subjects and filling in the cracks as this progresses. I decided to make this guide because i ended up loving Leia as a character and her playstyle in general. I also feel comfortable doing so, as I'm used to in depth fighting game mechanic's and figuring it out in Xillia really doesn't feel too different than what I'm used to, there just isnt a practice mode.:/ Just kidding. Considering that she is in truth the 4th most capable melee character out of 6,she tends to get a bit overlooked. So I'm here trying to help others in realizing Leia's true potential and make the most out of her as possible. ...and she has quite a bit to offer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.Legal stuff 1.Profile 2.Basic Attacks 3.Physical Artes 4.Spirit Artes a.Healing Artes b.Support Artes 5.Skill List a.Parameter b.Action c.Support 6.Link Artes a.Jude b.Milla c.Alvin d.Elize e.Rowen 7.Advanced Techniques a.Arte Setup Recommendation b.Spell Cancelling c.Link Arte Filling 8.Combo Mastery a.Solo b.Linked c.Master Combo ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.

Leia Rolando Profile ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leia Rolando is a nurse from the town of Leronde. She has a cheery disposition and is a little bit of a tomboy. Leia and Jude were trained in Martial Artes by her mother Sonia. Leia helped Jude to get better at fighting by constantly sparring with and beating him up. Leia is a competent staff wielder and is as useful in the air as she is on the ground. She has a double jump and most of her moves are air capable. She uses precision strikes, witty maneuvering, and air juggling to gain the advantage and keep the pressure on in battle. Her innate ability is Elongating Staff which temporarily increases the Range and damage of your attacks by imbuing your staff with light energy. You can activate Elongating Staff by back-stepping to dodge an attack. Elongating staff will only take effect from the enemy you are targeting and only if you time the dodging of the enemies attack perfectly. She is also capable of healing and buffing single allies and can function as a tank for the party as well. She has the best Vitality stat and the second best Agility stat behind the incredibly speedy Jude. She has Item Skills that provide extra benefits when she uses them. When she is used as a link partner, she can steal items when you are attacking an enemy in the Knockdown condition. All of this adds up to Leia being a terrific support character who can function well in any situation with versatility and is considered to be almost necessary for boss battles. Leia is light on tp but fortunately her artes are not tp heavy. While her movement list might seem small, all but two of her Physical artes are aerial enabled, they also tend to have multiple uses and are her maneuvering tools. Battle Style: Battle Staff/Aerial Fighter/Paladin Mage Style: White/Support Link Partner: Thief Unlinked: Alchemist ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.Basic Attacks ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here I will break down her basic X attacks for you. These are generally very quick and precise strikes. I will cover this more later, but try to alternate using these and her Physical artes in combos, as they have properties that help to extend her combo ability and overall efficiency, like D2 to Swallow Flight or F1 to Crescent Flash. Key: N-Neutral U-Up D-Down F-Forward A-Air P-Power 1-1st attack in the chain 2-2nd attack in the chain 3-3rd attack in the chain 4-4th attack in the chain N1 - Neutral + X/ A quick strike downward N2 - Neutral + X/ A quicker strike downward U1 - L3 Up + X/ Knock the enemy into the air while remaining standing, OTG into the air effect U2 - L3 Up + X/ Jump up and strike upward hitting an aired enemy or knocking a standing enemy into the air, it's possible to combo many A1/A2 attacks after U2 D1 - L3 Down + X/ Sweep from right to left, OTG force stand up effect. D2 - L2 Down + X/ Thrust at a diagonal towards the floor, Knockdown F1 - L3 Left/Right + X/ A spinning strike that hits from left to right, force enemy to face a different direction. F2 - L3 Left/Right + X/ Advance on the enemy with a spinning lunge technique while striking behind your back F3 - L3 Left/Right + X/ An extremely quick strike F4 - L3 Left/Right + X/ A concentrated thrust that has a knockback effect A1 - Neutral in air + X/ An air downward attack striking the enemy with the left side of the staff A2 - Neutral in air + X/ Similar to A1 but strikes on the opposite side. P1 - L1 + X/ A focused thrust attack, similar to F4. Use it to stun and knockback the enemy without going through the Forward chain. P1U - Up + L1 + X/ Sweep from left to right hitting enemies all around you then follow with an upwards strike knocking your target into the air while remaining standing. Has a chance to stun. P2 - L1 + X/ Replaces P1 when equipped with the Mirage Assault skill. Attempt to evade and attack by spinning your body to the right or left around the enemy and striking upward. Very quick. This can even strike at enemies behind your back. Hold the Left Stick Up to move and attack away from the from the screen. Hold the Left Stick Down to move and attack toward the screen Possible follow up basic attacks: N1 - N2,U2,D2,F2,P2,P1U N2 - N1,U1,D1,F1,P2 U1 - N2,U2,D2,F2,P2 U2 - A1 D1 - N2,U2,D2,F2,P2 D2 - N1,U1,D1,F1,P2 F1 - N2,U2,D2,F2,P2,P1U F2 - N1,U1,D1,F3,P2,P1U F3 - N2,U2,D2,F4,P2,P1U F4 - N1,U1,D1,F1,P2,P1U A1 - A2 A2 - A1 P1 - None P2 - N1,U1,D1,F1,P2 P1U - N1,U1,D1,F1 Combo variation practice: D1, D2, U1, U2, A1, A2, Arte U1, F2, F3, D2 N1, F2, F3, F4, P1U ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.Physical Artes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DC-Darting Claw SS-Spiral Strike CS-Cerberus Strike SF-Swallow Flight RL-Rabid Lunge CF-Crescent Flash SR-Staff Rain SV-Soaring Vortex SB-Soaring Blast SSp-Soulstoke Spin Darting Claw: A quick thrust, which is said to be akin to a strike from a beast's claws. TP: 9 Hits: 1 Properties: Aerial Element: Wind Status: Paralysis Usage: Aerial attack available after 100 uses Aerial Difference: None Stat Variable: Agility Hit Multiplier: 2.00 X 1 Damage Total: 200% Personal notes: Dash towards the enemy with an outstretched staff for a quick single strike. Gain distance, pressure enemies, and push them backwards. Useful to catch enemies before they cast a spell or as a forward air dash without attacking in mind. She can effectively Air glide across the entire length of the arena which can be ideal. When the enemy is in knockdown status, you can use this move to dash over them and pick up your attacks on the opposite side, their back. This is ideal for knocking enemies into AoE spells or attacks rather than one that would put them in knockdown status, as enemies in knockdown only receive about 1/4th of the damage they normally would. Spiral Strike: A martial arte in which the user spins her staff while leaping upward, pulling surrounding foes with her. TP: 10 Hits: 3 Properties: Aerial, Airborne Element: None Status: None Usage: None Aerial Difference: Quicker Execution Stat Variable: None Hit Multiplier: 0.72 x 3 Damage Total: 218% Personal notes: Jump upward while attacking with three spinning strikes that can hit enemies all around Leia if they are close enough. You remain airborne after use on the ground(Airborne) and can combo Spiral Strike for as much AC as you have. When the enemy is caught in this attack he is kept in the same spacial area in proportion to your body that he is caught in, so you could catch the enemy from directly under his feet, then continue to juggle him right over your head. This is your best tool for gaining as much upward height as possible and can be used as an extra air jump, keep in mind when using Soaring Blast, which has a wider AoE when used from greater heights. Cerberus Strike: A quick martial arte that uses clever staff play to strike three times in rapid succession. TP: 9 Hits: 1 Properties: Aerial, Airborne Element: Earth Status: Slow Usage: Attack speed increases after 200 uses Aerial Difference: Knockdown Stat Variable: Agility Hit Multiplier: 1.00 x 3 Damage Total: 300% Personal notes: This is a great choice for a launcher, it pops them up higher than Swallow Flight or Spiral Strike and has a swift execution time so it wont be as likely to get hit out of. When used in the air it has a Knockdown effect, which can be picked after landing in a combo if you are low enough to the ground with Swallow Flight, U1 or D1. If you are surrounded by a large group of enemies, use Crescent Flash or Darting Claw to get space then combo Cerberus Strike to get out of the other enemies attack range and air combo your target uninterrupted. It might interest you to know that it's possible to combo both hits of Soaring Blast From Cerberus Strike ground. Swallow Flight: A Jumping strike upward, pulling foes along to be struck again in midair TP: 12 Hits: 2 Properties: Aerial, Airborne Element: Fire Status: Burn Usage: Burn inflicts easier at 200 uses, OTG effect at 400 uses. Aerial Difference: None Stat Variable: None Hit Multiplier: 1.40 x 2 Damage Total: 280% Personal notes: Swing your staff in an upward direction twice in a fluid motion. This is the only arte besides normal attacks with an OTG effect so it really helps to be comfortable using this one. Like Spiral Strike, it can be used as a third jump or combo floater. But unlike Spiral Strike, the enemy loses altitude in the floating process, so it can be used to position them for Staff Rain or Crescent Flash for example. As an extra jump this will cover more distance and float longer as opposed to Spiral Strike's quick mostly upward mobility. Rabid Lunge: Focus one's strength into a thrust to send foes flying. It's followed by a back step. TP: 11 Hits: 1 Properties: Aerial, Knockdown, Guardbreak Element: Earth Status:Slow Usage: Guardbreak effect at 100 uses, Leia be staggered while using this arte after 100 uses, attack speed is increased at 200 uses Aerial Difference: Spin in place rather than backward after striking. Stat Variable: None Hit Multiplier: 3.20 x 1 Damage Total: 320% Personal notes: This is one of my favorite moves, it is highly useful for offense and defense purposes. Make sure to include it in your reportoire if your setup does not include all Physical Artes. You can get some breathing room, so that you can cast a heal or a buff as needed. This has a pretty good amount of knockback coupled with the Knockdown so it is a great move for manipulating the enemies location. It knocks the enemy directly forward so aiming it is pretty easy when using free run. Use it to start combos if the enemy is guarding, the back step motion can be cancelled if you link an attack during the thrust animation It is also a great combo ender whether you are on the ground or in the air helps ensure you won't be countered. Crescent Flash: Grab the staff at the end to sweep attack in a wide radius. Most useful when surrounded TP: 14 Hits: 1 Properties: Aerial Element: Water Status: Weak Usage: Radius is increased after 200 uses Aerial Difference: Quicker execution Stat Variable: Nonce Hit Multiplier: 3.50 x 1 Damage Total: 350% Personal notes: Sweep in a complete circle around your body with the staff outstretched. There's no more effective move when surrounded and is arguable the most benefitted from Elongating Staff. This attack has a Slow startup when used on the ground which can be annoying for an attack that is meant for being surrounded but it can combo from a quicker startup normal attack, F1 is an appropriate choice but i prefer linking it after F3 as the forward chain sets up other things besides the F4 thrust well too. When used in the air, the startup is much quicker and this attack will hit the enemy as low as Leia's feet lined up with their head. After bringing multiple enemies in the air, with Spiral Strike for example, This is a great follow up. Staff Rain: A martial arte that harries foes with countless rapid strikes. TP: 16 Hits: 5-11 Properties: Aerial Version Element: None Status: None Usage: Extra hits gained at uses of 100,200,400,1000,2000,4000 Aerial Difference: Attacks at a diagonal towards the ground. Aerial Usage: Extra hits gained at uses of 100,200,400 Stat Variable: Dexterity Hit Multiplier: 0.80 x 5 + 0.40 x 1-6 Aerial Hit Multiplier: 1.33 x 3 + 0.40 x 1-3 Damage Total: 400% - 640% Aerial Damage Total: 400% - 520% Personal notes: Note that you increase the number of hits from Staff Rain by holding down the O Artes button. If you happen to use this as a Right stick shortcut, you can ONLY get the extra hits by hitting and holding the artes button at the same time as you move the Right stick. I personally use it as L1/neutral O button for this reason. You can still link an attack after increading the hits. This is your go to arte for piling on the damage, especially as you increase the number of hits. Soaring Vortex: Steady meditative breathing is needed when juggling a foe upward with a whirlwind-like attack. TP: 12 Hits: 1 Properties: Knockdown Element: Wind Status: Paralysis Usage: AoE is increased after 200 uses Aerial Difference: N/A Stat Variable: Vitality Hit Multiplier: 3.80 x 1 Damage Total: 380% Personal notes: Summon a whirlwind that leaves you facing the enemies back in Knockdown. It's a pretty strong attack and and flashy Launcher at that. U1 and Swallow Flight are great pick up choices as always, though the enemy can be hit before they reach the ground. The attack itself will not activate if there is not a standing enemy in range, and if there are multiple enemies in range it will activate on the closest one, not the one you are facing so if used cleverly you could use this after knocking down or away an you target then allow it to attack on an enemy attempting to flank, you'll then be facing that new enemy so it is also good for quickly and efficiently switching targets while continuing an assault. Remember that simply tapping R1 will have you target the enemy you are closest to, which is also how this attack works. Use this to escape being trapped against a wall where it would put you at a more advantageous position than Rabid Lunge for example. Neither normal attacks nor artes can combo into Soaring Vortex. Soaring Blast: Shock waves emitted by leaping up and striking the earth. The range expands if executed in midair. TP: 18 Hits: 2 Properties: Aerial, Knockdown, Airborne Element: None Status: None Usage: Knocks enemies higher into the air after 200 uses Aerial Difference: Higher AoE the higher Leia is in the air. Stat Variable: Vitality Hit Multiplier: 0.30 x 1 + 3.00 x 1 Damage Total: 330% Personal notes: Definitely a fun arte to use, it can be useful in many different situations. The strike downwards is the weak hit, and the explosion is the one for 300% The timing to link and attack can be tricky but you'll get it soon enough. Rabid Lunge and Crescent Flash are decent, but i really prefer Swallow Flight, As it gives this arte a combo starter potential. Use it when you are Surrounded as well cant hope to pull a strike off on the ground, Jump up twice then use Spiral Strike for more air and time your aiming then use it to Knockdown every enemy below you. The enemies are blasted outward from the direction of the explosion, so if you are attempting to combo then make sure the enemy is in between you and your staff or directly below your staff, they will be sent flying away from you otherwise. Arcane Arte - Soulstoke Spin: An arcane arte in which the user attacks by spinnig a staff enveloped in light energy. TP: 30 Hits: 6 Properties: Temporary Elongating Staff effect while attacking with this arte. Hit Multiplier: 1.40 x 6 Damage Total: 840% Personal notes: The attack begins with Leia raising her weapon and striking directly in front and behind her while elongating her staff. She then swings the weapon in every direction capable of hitting multiple foes all around her while advancing forward slightly. This is a great arte for piling on major damage, especially with buffs cast on you. Activate her Mystic Arte while using this attack in Overlimit by holding down the X/basic attack button. Mystic Arte - Soulstoke Celebration: Hits: 5 Hit Multiplier: 2.00 x 4 + 25.00 x 1 Damage Total 3300% Personal notes: Leia spins her staff to create a whirlwind to strike the opponent 4 times and knock them down. She then tosses her staff high into the air, leaps after, Then brings it down in a dragoon like manner for a powerful finishing jump attack. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Spirit Artes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: Fa-First Aid He-Heal Re-Resurrection Cu-Cure Sh-Sharpness Ba-Barrier Qu-Quickness Ei-Elemental Impulse Healing Artes - First Aid: Bathe an ally in light to heal 30% of his or her HP.

Elemental Impulse does not affect or alter artes with an element, like Swallow Flight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5.

Link Artes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DeBl-Destructive Blaze ScSt-Scylla Strike TeCl-Tempest Clash TePi-Tempest Pirouette PiHe-Pixie Heal ShPu-Sharpening Pulse GaBl-Gale Blitz FlTo-Flare Tornado BlMo-BLue Moon Burst AeFi-Aerial Fire FaCi-Fairy Circle TeEl-Tetra Elements ImCr-Impact Cross SpTh-Spinning Thunder InRa-Invigorating Rain AsSt-Ascending Streak Revi-Revitalize FuRe-Full Resurrection BrTo-Brutal Torrent StFl-Stop Flow Jude Mathis - Destructive Blaze: Juggle foes with Swallow Flight and smack them down with Phoenix Plunge, creating shock waves. Leia: Swallow Flight Jude: Phoenix Plunge Hits: 5 Element: Fire Properties: Knockdown Notes: Tends to send foes flying in all directions, that coupled with the Knockdown effect means this arte is great to use as a solo arte or a chain ender.This move is not ideal as a combo starter or extender. Function: Leia attacks in her usual Swallow Flight motion. Jude follows up with his Phoenix Plunge Leia's Spacial Change: Stays in place/minor Enemy Spacial Change: Sent flying, Knocked down. Scylla Strike: Synchronized breathing coupled with a Cerberus Strike leads to additional bludgeoning power. Leia: Cerberus Strike Jude: Cerberus Strike Hits: 6 Element: Earth Properties: OTG, Notes: Makes enemies in knockdown stand up. This is great as a combo extender or to push a lone enemy back into a group for an ideal AoE followup. This is one of the best artes to use for comboing into Soulstoke Spin. Function: Leia and Jude attack in sync using their respective Cerberus Strikes at the same time. Leia's Spacial Change: Moves forward slightly Enemy Spacial Change: Moves backward slightly Tempest Clash: Both partners surround the enemy and perform Soaring Vortex to hurl them high into the sky. Leia: Soaring Vortex Jude: Soaring Vortex Hits: 1 Element: Wind Properties: OTG, Knockdown Notes: Great for a combo extender but make sure to follow up with an arte that has an OTG effect as it Knocks down, but also can lift an OTG opponent. Function: Leia and Jude activate Soaring Vortex at the same time to produce amplified AoE and enemy Lift. Leia's Spacial Change: Moves to the other side of the enemy and face him. Enemy Spacial Change: Raise up and fall down in Knockdown. Tempest Pirouette: Enemies lured in with Whirlwind Snap are pummeled by the Leia's combo attacks. Leia: Staff Rain Jude: Whirlwind Snap Hits: 13 Element: Wind Properties: none Notes: This is a Great combo starter and overall arte. The Whirlwind Snap to bring in opponents will occur Leia's Staff Rain striking range, so you can use the Staff Rain as a sort of aiming for where you want to snap point to be placed. Function: Jude produces an Amplified Whirlwind Snap with a notably increased "magnetic" effect. Leia then uses a thrust attack to place herself in the middle of the group and begins to twirl her Staff about in an almost helicopter fanish while turning in a circle two times. Leia's Spacial Change: Stays in place... despite the twirling about Enemy Spacial Change: Grouped closer together towards Jude and Leia Pixie Heal: Partners simultaneously cast Healer and First aid to slightly recover all allies' HP Leia: First aid Jude: Healer Hits: none Element: none Properties: none Notes: 40% max HP is recovered to the party Function: Instant Spell Cast. Leia's Spacial Change: Stays in place Enemy Spacial Change: none Sharpening Pulse: Temporarily boost all allies' attack power by spreading a wave of Steel-Heightened energy. Leia: Sharpness Jude: Steel Hits: none/1 Element: none Properties: none/Knockdown and damage after 100 uses Notes: Physical and Magical attack power is increased by 40% to the party for ten seconds. After 200 uses it gains a 40% chance to decrease physical and magical attack power to all enemies. Function: Enemies are knocked outward from the pulse after 100 uses, otherwise its more of an instant spellcast Leia's Spacial Change: Stays in place Enemy Spacial Change: Moved moderately away from the pulse after 100 uses Milla - Gale Blitz: Conjure up a Wind Blade to ride and execute a more powerful Darting Claw. Leia: Darting Claw Milla: Wind Lance Hits: 6 Element: Wind Properties: OTG Notes: Makes enemies in Knockdown stand up. This is a great way to continue a Link chain if you have found yourself further away from your target than you would have liked, can also be used as an extender from knockdown or a chain starter. Function: Milla summons up and wind blade which Leia uses to Amplify her Darting Claw. Leia's Spacial Change: Move to the other side of the enemy, not facing them. If far away from the enemy, move moderately towards them. Enemy Spacial Change: minor Flare Tornado: One partner starts a fire and the other runs in a spiral to expand it into a twister of flame. Leia: Spiral Strike Milla: Flame Ring Hits: 9 Element: Fire Properties: Knockdown, OTG Notes: Makes downed enemies stand only to Knockdown again. Has a great AoE and is activated to best results when jumping into the air and Spiral Striking above a large group. Function: Milla Creates a Flame Ring which Leia amplifies by creating a Flame Tornado when using Her Spiral Strike while standing. Leia's Spacial Change:Stays in place Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and fall, knockdown Blue Moon Burst: A water sphere manifests and detonates to knock away any foes in front. Leia: Rabid Lunge Milla: Splash Hits: 3 Element: Water Properties: Knockdown Notes: Great for a solo arte or works just fine in a chain where the followup attacks while moving forward. You can use Darting Claw as Link Arte Filler. Function: Milla Creates a Water sphere that serves to amplify Leia's Rabid Lunge when she strikes out at the Water sphere, making it explode on the enemy Leia's Spacial Change: Moves backward moderately in the same fashion as the backspin from Rabid Lunge. Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and fall knocked down, move slightly back Aerial Fire: An enemy is juggled into the air with Soaring Vortex and quickly sent flying with a Flare Bomb blast. Leia: Soaring Vortex Milla: Fireball Hits: 3 Element: Fire Properties: Knockdown Notes: Use this as any other Soaring Vortex move to shift to the otherside of the enemy, which can be useful to remember in chains and manipulating the enemy within the bounds of the arena. Function: Leia uses her Soaring Vortex to lift an enemy in the air then Milla jumps up to hit him with a Flare Bomb. Leia's Spacial Change: Moves to the otherside of the enemy, Facing them. Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and Fall, knockdown Fairy Circle: Heal allies within range while damaging foes with the power of roaring winds. Casting Time: 2.50 Leia: Heal Milla: Arrivederci Hits: 2 Element: Wind Properties: none Notes: All allies within the AoE are healed for 55% max HP Function: Spell Cast Leia's Spacial Change: Stays in place Enemy Spacial Change: minor/knocked backward Tetra Elements: Quick and deadly sword strikes that switch between different elemental types: earth, water, fire, and wind. Leia: Elemental Impulse Milla: Whirling Assault Hits: 4 Element: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind Properties: OTG Notes: This is a great arte to attempt to inflict all for elemental status effects on the opponent at once. Has OTG effect and leaves the enemy standing. This attack attempts to inflict all 4 status ailments at once, which can really show on a large group. Function: Leia imbues 4 of MIlla's sword attacks with wind, earth, water, then fire respectively Leia's Spacial Change: Stays in place Enemy Spacial Change: Moved backward moderately Alvin - Impact Cross: A cross attack between Sonic Thrust and Darting Claw with an explosion at the center. Leia: Darting Claw Alvin: Sonic Thrust Hits: 2 Element: none Properties: Knockdown Notes: Has a pretty good AoE so works well in AoE link chains, Another use in link chains in when a group of enemies is in between you and your target Function: Leia and Alvin make a Cross pattern on the floor for one attack the cross pattern explodes in a brilliantly colored flame for the second hit and knocks the enemy down Leia's Spacial Change: Move to the otherside of the enemy, not facing them Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and fall, knockdown Spinning Thunder: Both partners sync their breathing and execute spin attacks that send foes flying. Leia: Crescent Flash Alvin: Moonlight Cleft Hits: 7 Element: none Properties: Knockdown Notes: A highly effective move but is best activated when in the air and above a large group in similar way to how i recommend for Flare Tornado with Milla. When you use this on the ground, your Crescent Flash takes more time to startup which isnt great for being surrounded, and you will knock enemies away from the spinning thunder AoE which isnt good. This is one of my favorite moves to follow up Tempest Pirouette with. Function: Leia and Alvin grab hands and spin together with their weapons outstretched making a tornado effect. Wider effect with Elongating Staff. Leia's Spacial Change: Moves slightly to her left and faces the other way. Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and fall, knockdown Invigorating Rain: Bullets made with healing capabilities are fired to restore HP and boost Physical and Magical Attack. Leia: Heal Alvin: Squall Shot Hits: n/a Element: Water Properties: none Notes: 50& HP is healed to all allies. Physical and Magical attack are increased by 40% to all allies. Healing Speed is increased at 200 uses. Function: Instant Spell Cast, delayed healing Leia's Spacial Change: none Enemy Spacial Change: none Elize Lutus - Ascending Streak: Teepo Copter is used as a vessel to fly around on while swinging and batting away at enemies. Leia: Spiral Strike Elize: Teepo Copter Hits: 4 Element: Wind Properties: Flight time is increased along with your usages up to 180 uses Notes: This attack can be manipulated more and more as your usage increases. 10 uses: Can turn left or right with L3 20 uses: Can accelerate using the up motion with L3 40 uses: Can decelerate using the down motion with L3 80 uses: Can sharply turn left and right using L2 and R2 respectively 200 uses: Turning Speed is increased with L3 Function: The best link arte there is for mobility. I personally use this to safely begin Link Chain combos by flying into a large group then enjoying the invulnerability While attacking with stronger artes. This is also an Ideal arte to continue your chain link when the previous link arte has killed the enemy and you need to get to one far way. Leia's Spacial Change: To be determined upon use. Enemy Spacial Change: minor Revitalize: Greatly heal all allies and cure them of status ailments with a channeling circle. Casting Time: 2.83 Leia: Cure Elize: Nurse Hits: none Element: none Properties: Healing is applied over 8 increments with each increment being 20% max HP to all allies. Notes: Heal Status ailments and a total of 160% HP to all allies. Function: Spell Cast Leia's Spacial Change: none Enemy Spacial Change: none Full Resurrection: Revive an ally to full health, grant an auto-revival effect, and boost physical attack and defense as well as magical attack and defense. Casting Time: 3.67 Leia: Resurrection Elize: Resurrection Hits: none Element: none Properties: none Notes: Physical and Magical attack and defense are all increased by 20% Function: Spell Cast Leia's Spacial Change: none Enemy Spacial Change: none Rowen J. Ilbert - Brutal Torrent: A sphere of water is formed for the sole purpose of breaking and causing shock waves to crash into enemies. Leia: Soaring Blast Rowen: Blue Sphere Hits: 2 Element: Water Properties: OTG, Knockdown Notes: Leia and Rowen's most useful Combo move, this is preferred over Blue Moon Burst when you want to keep the enemy close as BMB will send them flying and Brutal Torrent has a more Vertical emphasis. Function: Rowen creates a massive water ball that Leia bursts apart with a Soaring Blast. Leia's Spacial Change: Moves slightly backward Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and fall, Knockdown, Blue Moon Burst: A water sphere manifests and detonates to knock away any foes in front. Leia: Rabid Lunge Rowen: Splash Hits: 3 Element: Water Properties: Knockdown Notes: Great for a solo arte or works just fine in a chain where the followup attacks while moving forward. Function: Milla Creates a Water sphere that serves to amplify Leia's Rabid Lunge when she strikes out at the Water sphere, making it explode on the enemy Leia's Spacial Change: Moves backward moderately in the same fashion as the backspin from Rabid Lunge. Enemy Spacial Change: Rise and fall knocked down, move slightly back Stop Flow: Freeze time for one's opponents. This requires a huge amount of energy, so it doesnt last long. Casting Time: 3.50 Leia: Quickness Rowen: Tightening Chains Hits: none Element: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth Properties: none Notes: Temporaily freeze your opponents, preventing them from doing anything for a short time. Combos can add up without dropping in this time. Function: Spell Cast Leia's Spacial Change: none Enemy Spacial Change: Frozen ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Advanced Techniques ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Arte Setup Recommendation 2. Spell Cancelling 3. Link Arte Activation Filling Arte Setup Recommendation: Artes in Neutral: Healing and Mystic arte access Neutral + O: First Aid Why: Spell Cancelling and quick HP patch Up + O: Resurrection Why: Raise UP from the dead Left/Right + O: Heal or Cure Why: Because you will want to heal more than First Aid can on occasion Down + O: Soulstoke Spin Why: Because it is seperated from other Physical Artes and if you accidentally cast, you will be able to cancel it just as quickly. We all know the frustration of missing the timing for your mystic arte because you accidentally did a Physical arte you can't canel out of. R3 in Neutral: Attacks that lift the opponent into the air R3 = Up: Spiral Strike Why: The attack functions by raising the character almost directly up R3 = Left: Cerberus Strike Why: It fits into the category, place both earth attacks onto R3 = Left R3 = Right: Soaring Vortex Why: It fits into the category, Place both wind attacks onto R3 = Right R3 = Down: Swallow Flight Why It has an on the Ground effect R3 in L1: Attacks that knock away/Knockdown. Single swipes/strikes. L1 + R3 = Up: Soaring Blast Why: Can be used for greater AoE higher in the air. Even on the ground she jumps before attacking. L1 + R3 = Left: Rabid Lunge Why: Both earth attacks are on the R3 = Left. Makes it easier to remember. L1 + R3 = Right: Darting Claw Why: Both wind attacks are on the R3 = Right. Makes it easier to remember. L1 + R3 = Down: Crescent Flash Why: Sweeps low to the ground and can hit enemies below you when used in air. Artes in L1: Support buffs and Staff Rain L1 + O: Staff Rain Why: Because you are going to want to extend your hits. Setting this to a R Click makes it harder to do so as you will have to hold the artes button at the same time as you move the R stick anyway. Can more easily spell cancel after wards like this anyway. L1 + Up + O: Sharpness Why: Used in conjunction with Barrier being the down motion. Up for attack, Down for defense L1 + Left/Right + O: Elemental Impulse Why: It is easy to remember when using Sharpness and Barrier in my setup that your other buff must be left or right. Quickness works just fine here as well. L1 + Down + O: Barrier Why: Hunker Down in defense mode. The other whys tell it. This is my exact setup except for Darting Claw and Rabid Lunge are Switched. This makes both of the R3 + Right attacks have a knockdown effect. 2. Spell Cancelling Spell Cancelling is a technique involving quickly casting a spell after a Physical attack or Arte and immediately cancelling the spell to actually extend your combo. Because this guide is attempting to make the most out of Leia and realize her full potential, I will teach this technique since it applies to her. You see Spell Cancelling can be done very quickly and you can still combo after doing so. When you Spell Cancel, you reset your AC counter, so you could use this technique to pull infinite combos if you so desire. A spell cancel means to press the guard button during a spell in order to cancel the casting of it. For this technique, you will need to cast a spell, then guard, then attack all VERY quickly albeit in a controlled manner. To learn Spell Cancelling, set a spell(we'll go with First Aid) to your neutral artes button and practice this basic input N1, N2, Fa, Guard, N1, N2, N1, N2 etc... You will know a successful Spell Cancel by seeing the spell ring barely materialize, your AC counter resetting after the guard cancel, and having a combo two hits above the AC counter Then you can practice something like this D1, D2, Fa, Guard, D1, D2 etc... Just to see how it works with a different attack. Once you can pull of a Spell Cancel quickly and with confidence, move up to Spell Cancelling an arte. We will start with Soaring Vortex. This one is not too difficult at all. Just Spell Cancel after you send the enemy up into the air and are on the other side. SV, Fa, Guard, SF Now try Rabid Lunge. This will involve Spell Cancelling the backstep, then running forward to pick up the enemy with U1 RL, Fa, Guard, U1 Now that you've got the hang of it, try Spell Cancelling after a Staff Rain and increasing the hits. SR (hold artes button), Fa, Guard, DC The last example i will show you is a Spell Cancel to decrease the recovery time after landing from in the air. This will not combo unless you utilize the Spell Cancel. You use SF twice then SS then SB. Pick up the enemy with D1, U1 or SF after you land and Spell Cancel. You may have to run up to pick up the enemy, unless you are practicing against a wall. SF, SF, SS, SB, Land, Fa, Guard, D1 These all DO combo so if it takes you awhile to get the Spell Cancel technique just keep practicing. Honestly though you will probably find that landing your first spell cancel is the hardest. After you understand the concept, figuring it out in other ways isnt so bad. 3. Link Arte Filling First off, You're probably asking yourself "What is Link Arte Filling???" Link Arte Filling is a technique involving fulfilling the conditions to activate a Link Arte and Filling an extra Physical Arte in before the Link Arte Activation input time ends. Now, Link Arte Filling must be done very quickly as the input time for activating a Link Arte is not extremely long. That being said, the best moves to consider are those that are quick to execute. Leia has some moves that fit this criteria well, other moves will work but you will not be able to perform the entire animation as a filler before you have to actiavte the link arte or lose the input timing. Link Arte Filling is useful in many different situation, not to mention pretty flashy. I personally use Link Arte Filling to add to and ensure better combo potential. I will show examples with every character but Elize to help illustrate how this technique works and I'll start with Jude First. This Filler technique will involve knocking a lone enemy back towards a group with Staff Rain. You then fill the input timing for Tempest Pirouette with a Darting Claw to knock him further back toward the group, then quickly activate the link arte with the input timing from Staff Rain to snap the enemy and group together behind him. This filler serves to adjust your placement of the Whirlwind Snap further towards the group behind the lone enemy to bring them together better for the Tempest Piroutte. SR, DC, TePi Next up is Milla This one involves using a Darting Claw to get close to the opponent, filling the input timing with a Rabid Lunge to knock him away and down, Then activating Gale Blitz to zoom right back towards him and pick him up with its OTG effect. Dc, RL, GaBl For the next example we'll us Rowen For this filler, you will knock the enemy into the air with a Cerberus Strike then combo a Soaring Blast. You then will use the first hit of Swallow Flight for you Link Arte Filler for it's OTG effect and to keep them juggled in the air. This way, when you activate your Brutal Torrent, you will
actually trap them in the water bubble thats created before you smash it.

CS, SB, SF(1hit), BrTo


My last example will be with Alvin.
You start off with Cerberus Strike, then combo a Spiral Strike then Crescent
Flash. For the filler you will knock the enemy further into the air with 
another Spiral Strike and to keep them at a close vertical distance, then
activate your Spinning Thunder from the Crescent Flash input time and the 
enemy will fall right into the tornado effect.

CS, SS, CF, SS, SpTh



So there you have it
Link Arte Filling, this is a favorite of mine and becomes second nature once 
you know what you want. Try experimenting with different filler techniques 
of your own to see what you can come up with !

If you can perform this combo then you should have read my entire guide 
and developed a good understanding into the depth available to her.

Let me say before the conclusion that a good character game can only come 
with practice, muscle memory plays a big part as well, so i highly advise
not switching your artes around too much constantly.
