I wouldn't blame you if you're hesitant to use Break Soul at all. For more information on the enemy, press the Circle button while holding R1. From here you can see some basic information on weaknesses and resistances. While in combat, hold R1 to pause the encounter and view an opponent's stats. Luckily, this isn't too much of a hassle. The only issue is figuring out enemy weaknesses in the first place. For example, if you start a combo out with an attack that an enemy is weak to and continue the combo with martial artes, the entire combo will hit the enemy's weakness. Combat Tips Enemy WeaknessĬhances are, you already know all about exploiting enemy weaknesses. Now, you don't have to go out and destroy every enemy in a zone - just remember to cut through your paths so you don't end up in a nasty situation later on. This is the equivalent of saying "Don't run from Wild Pokemon battles." I shouldn't have to say it, but running from and avoiding encounters that aren't required is a sure way to dig yourself a shallow, underleveled grave. The more BG you get, the more often you can use powerful Mystic Artes. The more artes a character regularly uses, the more Blast Gauge (BG) they get at the end of every encounter. Much like equipment, Tales of Berseria rewards the player for the regular use of all of their artes. Regularly Rotate Your Artesįor the uninitiated, artes are the combat abilities assigned to the four face buttons on your controller. Keep a constant eye on the mastery of your equipment and swap it out whenever applicable. After a certain amount of battles with a piece of equipment on, the character masters it's main passive skill so that they benefit from it even without it equipped. Rather, this is a reminder to constantly equip your characters with equipment that they haven't worn before. Trust me, this isn't a reminder to always wear the best equipment you own. Even when there's not a chest, you can be certain to find some sellable treasures or Katz Spirits for your trouble. You never know when the next corner is hiding that sweet new piece of equipment or Katz Box. Tales of Berseria reimburses the player who spends their time checking around every corner. There is a star over the zone that the main objective is found in. If you're not sure where to find it, open up the world map by first going through the Local Map (Square) and then pressing Triangle. Holding R1 in the overworld displays your main objective. Whether you're returning from a long break or simply lost, figuring out what your quest is couldn't be simpler.
