ToX - Partner Skills

A Partner Skill (パートナー固有サポート) is a feature in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2 related to the Dual-Raid Linear Motion Battle System and the Cross Dual-Raid Linear Motion Battle System.

Function
A partner skill is intrinsic to a character and will activate under certain conditions while that character is the partner of a link. The effects of the skills are increased on certain enemy classifications, and the skills themselves do not change between Tales of Xillia and its sequel. There are also titles that can be earned by activating these skills a specific number of times. Tales of Xillia 2 introduces the "Support Shift" (アルターサポート) skill that changes the effects though not the activation of these skills.
