Tales of Xillia 2 Guide › 2 Characters › Leia Rolando

Character Evolution

Pursue Every Element for a Well-Rounded Combatant

To fulfill the goal of making Leia excel equally at fighter, healer, and support roles, you’ll want to absorb a good balance of the elements. Support artes like the Fire-type Sharpness and Fire- and Wind-type Quickness are a good place to start. Next pursue Light for the Fire- and Light-type Steal Plus, which will boost your odds of Item Steal success, as well as the Cure arte, which replenishes large amounts of HP.

Suggested Growth Plan

Development chart

Learn Buff Spells for Tough Battles

Begin by learning Sharpness to improve Leia’s combat prowess. Combine that with quickly executable artes like Darting Claw to make Leia a true threat on the battlefield.

Shining Spiral

Sharpness

Lucky Item

Quickness

Darting Claw

Heal

Seek Skills to Improve Item Use

Immediate Consumption is a useful skill that reduces the cooldown after using items. This is extremely useful in the early part of the game, when you don’t yet have access to ailment-prevent accessories and have to cure ailments with items.

Immediate Consumption

Steal Plus

Item Knowledge

Bonus Extension

Rack up Cash with Lottery 2

Accumulating the large amounts of money necessary to buy good equipment and repay debts will be a snap with the Lottery 2 skill, which provides a 77% chance of doubling your post-combat coin purse. Bonus Extension 2 is another high priority, as it provides more Elongating Staff opportunities.

Empower Leia with Mid-Air Combat Skills

When active, Sky Soldier boosts damage dealt in mid-air by 25% while simultaneously lowering mid-air TP costs. With so many artes that are usable in mid-air, it’s a great way to play to Leia’s strengths.
