You get to this state by attacking a lot which builds up the Overdrive meter. The way you unlock Mystic Artes is by entering Overdrive mode.

Boost AttacksĮssentially the Limit Breaks of Tales of Arise, Mystic Artes are huge, over-the-top finishing moves that you can activate once you hit a certain point in the story. Luckily, this happens pretty quickly, so you should never be without your Artes for too long. At this point, you need to use Basic Attacks to refill your gauge. If your Soul Gauge runs out, you will no longer be able to perform Artes of any kind. Comboing your Artes is the best way to build up damage quickly and depending on how long your Soul Gauge is, you can keep this going for quite a while. You can connect one Arte attack to the other which creates Arte combos and is the sole way you unlock Boost Attacks. Normal Artes can have elements attached to them as well though and which element they are using is detailed in the Arte selection screen. These attacks are always elemental-based, so they are important to use when taking on creatures that specialize in an element. Astral Artes are essentially the magic system in this game and characters like Shionne and Rinwell specialize in them. You have your melee and physical attacking Artes and you have your Astral Artes. There are two different kinds of Arte types.

Some Artes take up only one diamond, while others may take up 3. These increase through your progression in the skill tree and the more you have, the more Artes you will be able to pull off. Your Soul Gauge is represented by diamonds above your character. These come in many different forms and all revolve around the Soul Gauge. Your special attacks per character in Tales of Arise are called Artes.
