Based upon the series' "Linear Motion Battle System", the combat system in Tales of Berseria enables you to engage in exhilarating battles by stealing souls from your enemies to empower your combos. Arte Arte is attack or magic that can be performed by setting it to a button. Players fight against enemies by executing artes. Different characters have different artes and when characters level up, they can acquire new arte. The artes have a special effect like stunning or causing status ailment. It becomes easier to steal Soul from enemies by hitting a weakness, changing the order of artes in the combo. Soul Soul represents the iconized mental power (mana). The number of Soul the character own means the maximum of artes the character can link together in the combo. Players can steal it from enemies and vice versa. Guard Players can defend from the enemy's attack by pushing L1 button to decrease the damage. Quickstep Players can quickstep by flicking the left stick while pushing L1 button. Quickstep is good to evade attacks or to move quickly. A player can get a bonus when they succeed in evading the enemy's attack with quickstep. Soul Gauge The Soul Gauge is a introduces the concept of "stealing" and is new compared to previous systems like TP (Technical Point) or CC (Chain Capacity). Every arte consumes specific SG points and the gauge is decreased depending on the artes character performs. Even when SG is zero, the player can perform an arte, but the player has various disadvantages, like the attack can be easily repelled. SG can be automatically restored as the certain period of the time goes by. It is recommended to fight considering the balance between attack and defense, like by guarding and waiting for the gauge to be restored.
