Tales of Arise has many different Artes available for each character in the game. The vast majority of them are attacks used in combat to initiate, continue, or end combo strings. However, another system in Tales of Arise is Boost Abilities, which allows you to do various things.
There are two Boost Abilities, one being Boost Strikes and the other being Boost Attacks. Boost Strikes are flashy and very devastating team attacks where two members of your party pair up to deliver an all-out attack on an enemy. On the other hand, Boost Attacks are character-specific attacks that guarantee a knockdown on specific enemies, making each character feel unique and meaningful in each combat encounter.
Alphen
Alphen is a well-trained individual with the spirit and passion for getting things done, no matter the cost. Thanks to his Blazing Sword, Alphen can deliver a wide range of Artes and take on just about anything without batting an eye.
Furthermore, when mixing his unique Blazing Sword and Artes with his teammate’s specialties, Alphen and company can release some devastating combos that are equally as flashy as they are deadly. No matter what Alphen gets thrown at him, he always finds a way to succeed.

Shionne
Shionne specializes in long-range engagements, especially against airborne enemies. Shionne also has many Support Artes that heal her teammates and even bring them back from death’s grip. Overall, Shionne’s role is more of a Support DPS, and she balances the two effortlessly.
Additionally, when Shionne mixes her expertise with her teammates’ traits, it makes for many fascinating and ruthless attacks that showcase how much of a threat she is to the opposition. Shionne’s ability to use a breadth of elemental Artes truly creates some of the most jaw-dropping Boost Strikes in Tales of Arise.

Rinwell’s ability to charge and hold Artes allows her to experiment with Artes by mixing and matching them to her heart’s content. She can also steal the enemy’s Artes, which opens up a whole other door for her.
Due to Rinwell’s unique abilities, she can cast a wide range of Artes and wreak havoc on anyone (or anything) with the snap of a finger, and that shines through when she teams up with the party to deliver Boost Strikes that explode with color, personality, and mass destruction.
