Avoiding Enemy Mystic Arte

[Ephemeral]

I'm so damn frustrated how I always die when the enemy's health is just 10% left and then they just use Mystic Arte and killed me.

How do you dodge it? Or at least minimize the damage.

Well. . . Level doesn't matter in this game unlike in other games. Armor and Weapons matter. So you must get better weapons and armor and fuse armor and weapons of the same name more and your stats will improve thus leading to higher chances of survivng Mystic Artes. Hope this helped!

there's a battle skill that gives you a chance to guard against it.

Is there no like, Dodging it with quickstep or staying far away?

Not during a mystic arte..
You can't really do anything until you get control again (just like when Rose etc execute their mysic arte). It is slightly annoying if you're about to do something then one of the others interrupts, and their mystic arte doesn't finish the battle.
(it can be fixed by controlling everyone myself, but I'm no good as a micro-manager)

Edit: The battle skill @Bobmonkey07 mentioned (Split Guard) can apparently halve the
damage from a mystic arte by pressing X the moment it hits.
It says it "works for each hit", whatever that means.

I'm guessing that it means that you have to press X at the moment of each hit to halve the damage from that hit.

Same as I first interpreted it..but then I thought that was too silly, so I hoped for
a different explanation.
I mean, some of those can do lots and lots of hits in a few seconds.

I think one would be better off using an All-divide bottle, so there's a chance of surviving
a full-on mystic arte..unless the player has excellent timing. Both achieves the same, although
the bottle probably applies to your own party too. Combining them probably works too.

Split Guard huh. Thanks for the information guys. I think i got an idea of what to do.
