How Charging Affects Alvin’s Artes

Outside of Charged Blow and his Terminus Pride mystic arte, charging has an effect on all of Alvin’s artes. Generally, the upgrade involves a power boost or additional hits, but some artes, like Fierce Demon Fang, have significantly changed effects. Another arte, Punishing Shot, even has a different usage-count bonus when charged. But whatever the change, charging generally leads to a strictly superior version of the arte. Learning exactly how charging affects each arte is one of the keys to playing Alvin well.
