Automatic martial arts

[Maniak 2000]

While you can set martial arts yourself, you can also leave the first slot empty and it will say " (Automatic) " in blue text.

Question is: does this setting simply picks random martial art from learned ones, or it tries to match it with enemy weaknes?

Don't really know, but i will go with RNG god.
Playing automatic is bad, never a good thing to let AI or some shady mechanics do the job.

When you're using automatic artes (which btw, those are either hidden artes or seraphic artes depending on the character, martial artes are the prebuilt arte tree), it will use them according to your character's AI settings, so if your character is set to target enemy weakness, using an automatic choice will use an arte that targets weaknesses. Otherwise, I think it just picks randomly.

It picks randomly.

This.

And if you want a specific artes to be performed, you'll have to uncheck the ones you do not want. It's good for optimizing your parties' ability when battling.

Playing on automatic isn't bad if you set the difficulty to the lowest. It can be fun to just simply watch. It's almost like an anime. I'm very glad this option is even in the game. Kind of like the Theatre Mode in Soul Calibur 2. Something very fun to just sit back, relax, and watch two characters fight with, but they never kept it in the later installments.

Also, the AI in this game is actually really, REALLY good. And very customizable to your strategy. The AI of your teammates is legit amazing for a game of this genre.

If you don't have any arts in the list when selecting a slot, you're simply not far enough in the game.

Also, to clarify, I don't mean setting control method for character on full auto (from semi-auto or manual).

ya i realize that now i got my first one just didnt play far enough thanks though

Speaking of artes, do you guys prefer to use "Greater Heights" with the weakest arts on your shortcuts so you can combo them into higher arts, or just go with the stronger versions of your arts all the way?

I completely replace the older artes with the better ones. Having to hold down the key for the stronger art isn't a bad idea in theory, but its execution is terrible since it casts the weaker arte first. If I'm just pressing it, I want the weaker arte to cast. If I want to use the stronger arte, I'll hold the key down. The game makes no distinction, and instead opts to use the weak arte, and then the stronger arte. That's 2 out of your 4 combo slots gone.

The teammate AI is designed to be played in a team. The solo missions are supposed to be played alone with you controlling the character. Although you could set the difficulty to Simple and let the ai solo it. They'll do it no problem, especially if they're 12 levels higher than the mobs.

Iam playing on simple since the beginning ( yeah bash me the casual scum :P) and i really dislike Roses combat style (nearly as bad as leilahs) thus i set her on automatic and she just cant make it. Her eq is pretty good with a lot of Attack and physical defense (theres only like 2 enemys in that trial that do seraph arts). All the other trials were a piece of cake.
