Artes — Tales of Xillia 2 eGuide

A Wide Variety from Attacks to Healing Spells

Most of Milla’s artes can be cast from either the ground or from mid-air. Which you choose could affect the power of the arte and how many times it hits, as well as the ease of landing a hit. For example, Sigil Spear hits directly to the sides when cast from the ground, but hits diagonally down when cast from the air. It’s important to learn how to take advantage of these differences.

Most of Milla’s artes have some sort of elemental damage type, so you can gain a significant advantage if you’re diligent about setting and resetting her artes so that she only uses artes that exploit enemy weaknesses.
