Tales of Xillia 2 Guide 2 Characters Rowen Ilbert
Character Evolution
Suggested Growth Plan
Focus Your Extraction on Water Element
Rowen can learn artes in many elemental types, so you’ll want to equip him with a variety of extractors. But you should lean most heavily on Water so that you can learn the Tidal Wave arte—which hits every enemy on the battlefield—as early as possible. The second most important type of element is Earth, which allows you to learn the Conductor series of skills that improve Rowen’s Arte Tuning ability.
Development chart
Learn Artes of Four Damage TypesIn order to effectively exploit a wide variety of enemy weaknesses, you should learn the four artes below as early as possible. As an added bonus, the path to Shimmering Toll will also net you the Intelligence skill, which will boost the power of your artes and their odds of inflicting ailments.
|
Learn the Skills Related to Arte TuningLearning the Conductor skill will allow you to perform Arte Tuning freely by removing its TP cost. Also of note is Speed Cast, which reduces casting times by 10%. Since it’s a Linked Arte, it will be equally beneficial for any partner who specializes in casting artes.
|
Extract Water Element to Learn Tidal WaveNormal battles will pose little challenge once Rowen has mastered Tidal Wave, so from the mid-point of the game on, you’ll want to focus heavily on Water extractors to earn that arcane arte early. If you mix in some Earth element, you can also pick up Conductor 3 and Conductor 4 to further augment the Arte Tuning ability.
|
Empower Your Artes with Late-Game SkillsTwo late-game skills will make your artes-casting smoother and more effective. Continued Channeling can double the power of Rowen’s artes while Abrupt Cast eases their post-casting Recovery time.
