How do I git gud? Which arts should I be chaining together/put on the action bars? Even after reading the manual, I feel so lost.

What class are you playing?
>>321056051
Samurai Gunner at the moment.
>>321055962
What artes do you have available to you at current?
Question about classes, none of your previous arts carry over to a new class right?
Kinda sucks that you have to start with nothing each time you switch,
>>321058115
If you max out the entire class branch, like say Duelist, you should be able carry your previous arts to your other classes that's associated with your weapon.
Like you can use your long sword in your Full Metal Jaguar class and use the arts associated with that sword like Rising Blade
>>321055962
just read the arts. they will tell you if they have bonuses. For example, one gives more damage after you've taunted or are attacking from the side.
Anyone confused with ANYTHING in this game just doesn't fucking read.
>>321058115
Any arts that aren't associated with a particular class of weapon can carry over. This means some auras, buffs, and debuffs.
>>321055962
Until you can start mixing weapons with different classes (get to the end of a class branch) you should just focus on arts that work well together.
It is useful to make sure you have one art of each type (or colour if that makes more sense to you) so you can react to soul voice callouts. You don't get much healing early on beyond these callouts so it pays to have skills you can react with.
The other big thing is don't always use your abilities right away - some abilities are MUCH better once they get their secondary cooldown (Beam Barrage is a great example - if it hits 5x 500 on first cooldown it will do 5x 1200 on secondary with no other effects on).
Start with that, and once you can mix and match you can build actual playstyles. The biggest thing you are gaining from each class are the skills because you can use them in any build with any weapon. It is worth leveling everything (eventually).

Not him, how does damage scaling work? If it's 200% that means the skill does the damage of your normal attack?
>>321060232
That's misinformation. Every art is associated with a weapon. Your weapons decide what arts you get.
Can someone explain Overdrive to me? Also read the manual and I have no clue how it works
>>321061707
Hm. Even things like chrome armour, which to my understanding went into just about any class?
>>321061923
try full metal jaguar for learning how it works. It's the best class for maintaining an overdrive.
>>321061923
Basically your cooldowns recharge faster, you get a third cooldown tier, and you do some more damage.
>>321061972
>Even things like chrome armour
Knives.
>>321062057
You also get bonuses like TP from purple arts, EXP from orange arts, and overdrive time from green and blue arts.
>>321062057
How do you fucking activate it?
>>321061923
You do increased damage.
You have reduced cooldown times.
All arts will enter secondary cooldown regardless of which auto attack you use.
You gain access to a tertiary cooldown.
By using similarly-coloured arts with attacks in succession, each hit will increase the combo number. Like, if you use two yellows in succession, each hit of the second yellow will increase the counter. Increase the counter, and you'll do more damage, cooldowns will be reduced even further, and monsters will resist your effects less, letting you use unconventional damage types or statuses against them.
There are additional bonuses that you get for comboing certain colours into each other. You'll have to figure out those ones for yourselves.

Subtract "You'll have to figure out those ones foryourselves." because I immediately copy-pasted the colour combos after it.
