Artes Gauge (アーツゲージ Aatsugeeji?), shortened to AG, is a gameplay mechanic exclusive to Tales of Arise. It governs the usage of artes.
Function[]
The Artes Gauge is a variant of Chain Capacity. It is the governing force behind the arte system of the game, where martial artes cost 1 AG, arcane artes cost 2 AG, and astral artes having different AG costs depending on their rank and type: offensive beginner artes cost 2 AG, offensive intermediate artes cost 3 AG, and offensive advanced artes cost 4 AG, with healing and support artes AG cost ranging between 1 to 3, depending on their effects and range. While artes usage depletes AG gauge, it automatically recharges while a character is performing other actions. There exist Skills that allow a character for faster AG recovery, e.g. by performing critical hits or a perfect evade, or in Kisara's case a perfect guard. The arte Lionheart temporarily increases target's AG recovery rate.
Each character starts with 3 AG and that value can be increased up to 10 AG via Skill Panels.
