Fusion Arts

As the name suggests, Fusion Arts allow you to combine two Arts for devastating outcomes. You can mix a Master Art with the Art of your currently equipped class.

However, there are limitations as you can't mix a Master class of the same nation as your currently equipped class.

Ouroboros Arts

Ouroboros are special forms created by combining two party members to deal massive damage. While extremely powerful on its own, Ouroboros become more lethal when combined with Ouroboros Arts.

Similar to Talent Arts, you have to charge Ouroboros Arts to use them on the battlefield.
