List of orbal arts (Cold Steel IV)

This is a list of orbal arts in Trails of Cold Steel IV.

Types of arts:

• Attack: Deals damage to enemies, may have additional effects.
• Recovery: Restores HP or status of allies.
• Support: Grants bonuses to allies or inflicts penalties to enemies.

The following units are used on this page:

• # HP/# EP/# CP: Directly affects a stat
• # range: Max distance between the user and the skill's main target or set point
• # radius/width: Skill affects all targets within a circle with a radius of # units or a line # units wide
• #t: Effect lasts # turns as used by the unit (can be ∞ for indefinite)
• # atk: Effect lasts until attacked # times
• # AT: Effect lasts # action time ticks, an internal value tracking relative delay between turns
• No unit: Power values are internal values and only useful to compare relative intensity, since the damage and healing formulas are more involved.

Cast is the time until the art is used, and Delay is the time until the user gets their next turn after casting. All arts (except the lost art Aeonian Emperor) have 100% Break multiplier, but using an art of an element that the enemy is weak to increases final break damage by 100%.

Lost Arts

Lost Arts are only available by equipping special quartz. Lost Arts use all of a caster's EP, though equipping any quartz that reduces EP costs will also the amount of EP used when casting a Lost Art. However, the user is still required to have full EP in order to cast a Lost Art. Each Lost Art can only be cast once during a battle. Lost Arts that deal damage ignore any elemental efficacies.
