Tales of Xillia 2 Guide › 2 Characters › Milla Maxwell

Character Evolution

Seek Elemental Artes and Aerial Skills

In the early part of the game, your top priority should be learning artes with as many different damage types as possible, so Milla will be effective against any enemy she encounters. After that, prioritize learning skills related to mid-air combat, so Milla can begin using mid-air combos. To strengthen those combos, also seek out Strength- and Intelligence-boosting skills that will improve her Physical and Artes Attack.

Suggested Growth Plan

Learn Attack Artes with Elemental Properties

Begin by learning lower-level artes like Splash and intermediate-level artes like Flame Ring to build a repertoire of attacks with different damage types. Milla joins the party with 500 points in every type, so this shouldn’t take long.

Flame Ring

Bolt Strike

Aerial Backstep

Splash

Prioritizing Learning Aerial Skills

In order to make the most of artes that end with Milla in mid-air, focus on learning Aerial-type skills. Beyond that, learn powerful artes that will further expand your repertoire of elemental damage types.

Blade Torrent

Bolt Strike

Aerial Dash

Aerial Guard

Strengthen Milla with Powerful and Arcane Artes

Once you’ve assembled a wide array of artes and skills, start aiming for any remaining advanced-level artes and arcane artes. The advanced-level artes are particularly important, as they allow you to use powerful spirit-shifts. It’s a good idea to learn them all.

Divine Streak

Cloud Pierce

Quick Drop

Sunburst

Cyclone

Luminous Chamber

Learn the Aerial Spell Skill

Once you learn Aerial Spell, you’ll be able to cast spells in mid-air to avoid enemy interference. This is a great way to compensate for the long casting times of advanced-level artes.
