Tales of Xillia 2 Guide 2 Characters Jude Mathis

Artes

A Wide Variety from Attacks to Healing Spells

With artes that offer everything from powerful area effects to elemental properties, Jude is able to put up a solid fight against foes of any type and in any amount. Jude’s artes also include useful special properties like unblockability, prop-up effects, and temporary invulnerability. He can even act as the party doctor, restoring lost HP with Healer and curing ailments with Recovery Ring.

Additionally, Jude’s artes can transform in beneficial ways if you equip certain skills. For example, the skills Second Artes and Second Artes 2 allow you to hold down the button for enhanced effects, and the Milla Sync skill allows Jude to use certain variant artes when linked with Milla.
