HP-damaging hit, STR-based, plus MP-damaging hit, INT based. Vagrant Story's description of the Break Arts is shown at the end, in quotes.īreak Arts are the only game-affecting exception to the rule that Axes and Maces are different Designs. If there is more than one attack, an Affinity and an X value is shown for each one. The value of the multipliers are shown below as X. The number of kills required to attain each Break Art is listed as it is listed in game, as a number of points (PT).Īttack is a formula based on multiple factors, and all attacks have an Attack Multiplier for many attacks, and even some Break Arts, this multiplier is simply 1. This allows damage to be dealt, while simultaneously occupying the enemy's time with removing the effect. Conversely, the enemy's Affinity or Class will never affect weapons when Break Arts are used.īreak Arts that cause status effects such as Poison or Paralysis are very useful against enemies with abilities that remove such effects, such as Grissom (Clearance) or 2/3 of the Orc Leaders (Magic Cancel) or 1/3 of Quicksilvers (Dispel). Kills by magic while bearing a particular weapon do not increase the kill count of the weapon's Design.Įach level of Break Arts has a different HP cost: 25 HP for Level One, 40 for Two, 55 for Three, and 75 for Four.īreak Arts will themselves change the Affinity of the weapon used. The majority of the damage can be done with another weapon. Only the final blow counts, and it must be a physical attack. Unlocking new Break Arts is based solely on kills made with a particular weapon Design (or unarmed, for Bare Hands).
Both hits of Two-hit Break Arts are always the same damage type, although the Affinity of each hit may vary. The damage type of Break Arts can vary from the damage typically done by its weapon Type. However, a few of them are dual attacks, so if one attack misses, the other may still hit. There is a set of Break Arts for each weapon Design, and Bare Hands also.Īll Break Arts do more damage than a single attack. Break Arts offer the tactical opportunity of sacrificing HP for more damage.
