Two Tales Of Xillia Resonance Artes Slice Through Enemies

On top of chaining basic attacks with party , Tales of Xillia lets players combine artes. The resonance artes system links techniques resulting in more powerful attacks.

For example, Jude can link his Demon Fist attack, a skill that creates a shockwave of energy on the ground, with Milla’s Wind Lance, a piercing wind spear. Linking these two attacks creates the Severing Wind Blade (note: attack names are loose translations and are not final in any way), a cross wind blade that flies in a straight line.

Milla’s fireball spirit magic can be linked to Alvin’s Tearing Tiger Fang, a two hit killing strike. This combination yields the Crimson Sword, a blazing sword strike that ends with an explosion.

Namco Bandai also released screenshots of Leia Roland, who was announced most recently, using her staff in battle.
