Its also a good easy way to stack fire onto your power combos.Įxperimental Note: It appears that at a certain distance in the air, the last two hits can be delayed, causing the opponent to stay in the air for longer. Good overall launcher, and a good alternative to the little Tiger Blade launch I wrote about above. Replaces Crimson Fury with Master Chef if Ludger is wearing the Chef's Uniform & has the Cookware Dual Blades equipped. Therefore I will be covering each in detail. I will cover the second part in more detail another time.īecause he can swap between 3 weapons, he has 3 artelists. 2 unique things t note about this is that it can halt time for a split second, and while it really may not seem like much, it could give you the time you need to asses the field or what have you, and the second is a little bit more obscure, but it carries over aerial momentum. The main one which will be covering the meat of this guide will be his most notable one, Weapon Swapping.Īctually a trait taken from Tales of Graces (building off the concept of having multiple fighting styles, Hubert shows this best in comparison to Ludger imo), built on and implemented here, Ludger can switch between 3 weapons by simply pressing L1+R1/R2. Each character in the Xillia duology has a unique trait (ie Snap Pivot, or Spirit Shift) and Ludger is no exception. This refers to the range of an Arte and how much space the attack covers. Artes with this property will force an enemy to stand up if they are knocked down.Īerial: Artes with this property can be used in the air.ĪoE: Area of Effect. Artes with this property will force an enemy to the ground in a helpless state until they recover or are hit with an OTG. *Credits to Clip's guides on gamefaqs for this info. Lv.7/9999: Chance of no AC being used while linked is raised from 25% to 50%. Lv.6/4000: 25% chance to not consume AC while linked. Lv.5/2000: Damage Increased changed from +5% to +20%. Lv.4/1000: TP cost reduced by 1/3rd the original cost. Lv.3/400: Linked Artes Guage Fill Rate Increase +20%, this is the point in which most artes gain all their unique effects. Lv.1/100: Critical Hit Chance +3%, additionally, the arte will be aerial enabled at this point if it is able to. General Arte Info for Ludger can be found here:Ī/wiki/ToX2_-_Ludger_Will_Kresnik:_Artes Some basic info you may want to see before diving in though. This guide was made with the concept of Solo play in mind, however, the information here can be applied to just about anything involving Ludger, so party play and Linking isn't out of the question. Just as well, I will be making a lot of tweaks (hence the WIP) since I am still discovering new things with this character.įor now at least, I just intend to cover the artes, their general uses, and perhaps enlighten you on some properties you may not be aware of. Since this is my first time ever making a guide, I am very open to suggestions. This guide will be handled in a similar manner to the character guides seen on Gamefaqs (Magnus' Asbel Guide and Clip's Xillia 1 guides come to mind). I figured I'd throw together a little guide on my favorite character in Tales of Xillia 2: the main man, Ludger Will Kresnik.
