Tales of Xillia 2 Guide 2 Characters Jude Mathis
Character Evolution
Since Jude uses quick-steps so effectively, prioritize the skills that strengthen his quick-steps. It’s equally important to enhance the stats that serve him well in close combat: HP, Strength, and Vitality. Finally, make it a priority to learn the skills that boost his Snap Pivot. The best artes to learn early are the ones with a wide attack range and knockdown effects.
Suggested Growth Plan
Development chart
Learn Elemental Artes and Quick-Step SkillsPrioritize skills like Long Step that enhance your quick-steps. Then aim for Whirlwind Snap and Aqua Sweep to expand your repertoire of artes.
|
Learn the Best Snap Pivot SkillsJude’s Snap Pivot is one of the cornerstones of his combat strength. To use it even more effectively, aim for the Snap Pivot series of skills. You’ll also want to pick up the Down Burst skill to deal additional damage to fallen foes.
|
Further Boost Your Quick-StepsLearn skills like Momentary Gain 2 to further enhance your quick-steps. Combining them with mobility skills like Sprinter and Dash will give Jude an even greater ability to move freely throughout the battlefield.
|
Learn Arcane Artes to Maximize Your PowerOnce you’ve learned all the artes and skills listed above, aim for Jude’s arcane artes to maximize his attack power. The longer reach of Rampaging Dragon makes it the easier of the two to use, so prioritize learning that.
