I think until one becomes more familiar with the battle system, they should think more about how they want to move while attacking. But playing on anything lower than Hard is, in my opinion, just a disservice to the player as you will steamroll everything without thinking about what you're doing. I think the system is pretty straight forward at the beginning of the game, since you have limited options to play with. What made everything 'click' for me was talking to a friend about the Gothic games, which has a similar (read: akward) battle system involving movement buttons and an attack button. Once I realized what was going on, it made perfect sense to me. I was trying to play it like the other Tales games. I was confused with this battle system when I first played Graces. Your character is definitely still doing them though. I'm not sure why but the names of some MA's don't appear at the top of the screen. Are they hidden, or am I doing something wrong (like should I not be moving the mouse at all?) When you perform an art it shows up at the top of the screen, but even trying, not touching the arrow keys and left-clicking, I can't get the names of those top-row Martial Arts to show up. To be honest, I still might not understand the top row of Martial Arts.

I thought it might be for pressing BOTH W and S at the same time. I also didn't really understand that the top row of Martial Arts was for commands with no direction input. Needless to say learning that made using Seraphic Arts much easier.

Of course, part of that was me being an idiot and not properly reading the Seraphic Art upgrade Battle Action (I thought you had to tap RIGHT-click to upgrade to a higher level art instead of LEFT-click.

Most important things to understand are the combo and hit # thingy, and hitting a monster's weakness. You click something that says like '^Martial Artes' in the Artes menu.Īnd um, there's more to it, but you'll learn it as you go.

Oh, and there's a way to see the Hit # of each attack, but I forget exactly how to see it. Obviously you wanna use Water attacks on things weak to Water, Fiend attacks on Fiend monsters, etc. Like, elemental property, which type of monster (Fiend, Flying, etc) it's strong against, side-effects, and SC cost. The Artes menu will tell you info about your attacks. However, left-click attacks count as Hidden Artes, but they follow the hit system. 'Armatization' uses a 3 hit combo system. On default, right-click will select a random one. Controls depend on how you set them in the Artes menu. So um, a common strategy is to back-step 2~3 times, then use a SA. SA's have reduced casting time the farther you are into a combo. You can use HA and SA at any time in a combo. Right-click attacks are called Hidden Artes and Seraphic Artes, depending on the character. So, if you were to dodge to the left, your next attack would count as Hit #2. Side-stepping (tapping a directional key) counts as part of your combo. The hit # in your combo (Hit 1, Hit 2, Hit 3, and Hit 4)įor example, Sorey has an MA called 'Freezing Strike.' It can only be used when you're on Hit #2 of your combo, and by pressing A + Left-click. Holding W, A, S, or D + Left-click (or no key + Left-click) The MA your character uses is determined by two things: Left-click attacks are called Martial Artes. It's bad design.īasically, you have a 4 hit combo. And Simple~Moderate difficulty is so easy that mashing buttons is usually enough to beat everything. And, imo, this game does a *terrible* job at explaining the basics to new players. It just feels like the game is playing itself if you don't understand the combat. Hey, sorry to bump this, but I had the same problem.
