Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Talent Arts and How to Use Them

This guide will go over the Talent Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in great detail and explain the arts for each class and role.

Combat in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is more than just button mashing your way to victory; there is a whole lot to it in terms of combos, ouroboros forms and arts. There is so much to it that it becomes difficult to comprehend. This guide will go over the Talent Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in great detail.

Talent Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are fearsome arts that are unique to each character/class. When you use them, the gauge runs out, and when it is full, it glows, indicating that the Talent Arts are ready to be used. In general, each class is assigned a specific talent art.

How to Use Talent Arts

The main difference between normal Arts and Talent Arts is that you don’t have to wait for the gauge to fill up after using them. Instead, you can fill the gauge by performing Role Actions.

Role actions are essentially class specific. They are, after all, doing what the class excels at. In the case of healers, for example, it is healing. It’s attacking when it comes to attackers, and so on.

Still, if you’re not sure what your character’s Role Action is, you can find it under your Arts in a battle.

So, to use Talent Arts in Xenoblade 3, simply perform Role Actions to fill up the Talent Arts gauge, once it fills up, press button A to perform the Talent Arts.
